ored swung east again, crossed the
Seine, north through France, acros.,
into Belgium, then Holland, and
into Germany itself in late Sep
TENDER. During most of this ac-
ton, Corporal Hengst was working
with the First United States Army.
Recently, the Second Armored Di-
vision was shifted over into the
Ninth U. S. Army, upon whose
front it is fighting to-day. Since
D-Day, the Second Armored Divi-
sion has had over $50 days in
which contact was made with the
enemy. Corporal Hengst now
wears the American Defense Rib
bin, the Good Conduct Ribbon, and
the European Theatre of Opera
tions Ribbon with four combat
stars.
Corporal Erich Hengst is the
husband of Mrs. Thelma Hengst
(nee Thelma Cooke), and son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Max Hengst, No. 116
Frazier Street, Smyrna, Delaware.
WE'LL That is a fine report to
receive concerning one of our local
Boys in the Service. We're mighty
proud to know that Corporal
Hengst has come through all the
campaigns in which his Division
was engaged with distinction, in
good shape. We hope, at the time
this article goes to press, that this
young soldier is still filling his job
and moving ahead with the balance
of the Ninth u. S. Army some
where near Aachen, Germany.
Here the Ninth U. S. Army is en-
gaging the Siegfried belt of Ger
man defense which is attempting
to stop our troops from capturing
the much bombed city of Cologne.
Best of luck to you Corporal
Hengst, and here's hoping that all
goes we'll from here on out. If
you find that you have bit of
time at your disposal, drop us a
line giving us the most recent
news. We're all interested to
know what progress you are MAX
ing, and how you are from time to
time.

HOME


of this great Country has the
word 'HOME" meant so
much to so many. With the
United States engaged in a
tw0-ocean war, and our armed
forces consisting of approXim-
ately eleven million men scat
tered throughout the world,
the true meaning of the word
"HOME" increases in value
daily. In many instances
would it be considered as as
Stunning too much, if one were
to construe from this state
ment, that each and everyone
of these service men were
counting the days until this
war is over, and they are CIV
en- the opportunity to return
to their loved ones. To re-
establish a mHOME" if cir
cumstances have made this
necessary, and take up their
lives where the call to colors
forced a separation of family
groups.
1 When these men come back
Ito their respective commune
tiles, perhaps the first thing
they will do will be to cast
their eyes about them as
much as to say: "Well, we've
completed the job which was
given us to do. We've suffer

weeks, months, and years of
dangerous living so an Amer

tice, and equality may be con-
tinued on as a heritage to flu
ture generations as yet un-
born. In return for all this,
what have you folks been do

This question could easily
become a most embarrassing
one for many of us to answer
if something is not done to re-
vive interest in the progress
and civic improvement of the
Town of Smyrna. 1t is true,
that war demands have made
it extremely hard to acquire
suitable materials for many
needed additions to our pres.
ent town facilities. However
if plans are not made, pro
grams set up, and suitable
financing considered now, the
future progress of Smyrna
will continue to remain il
doubt. 1t is therefore a very
opportune time for the resi-
dents of this community tt
consider seriously what tn,
future of this Town will be-
set up a goal and work towart
that end.
1t was with this thought il
mind that a group of men me
recently to discuss these prob
lens and exchange persona
opinions on the subject. Con
versations were carried on il
an informal manner and sew

were reached. Perhaps the
main points of interest to al
those present could be ex.
pressed in a very few words

I rumun to Present Honor Medal
To To17-Yeur-OId Marine Hero

The Navy Department told the
story today of a 17-year-old Marine
who enlisted at Ia, deserted his
outfit in Hawaii and slowed away
on a ship because he wanted to see
action, then on Two Jirna smoth-
cred two exploding grenades to save
his comrades. He has recovered
sufficiently to receive the Congress
sional Medal of Honor from Presi-
dent Truman here on Nimitz day,
Friday.
Pvt. Jacklyn N. Lucas of Bel
haven, N. c., is one of a number of
Navy men and Marines who will
receive the Nations highest decora-
ton before Admiral Nimitz at the
White House.
Another hero whose name was
made public today is Marine Capt.
Joseph j. Mccarthy of Chicago,
who will receive the Medal of Honor
for personally leading a dash across
fire-swept ground on Two to destroy
Jap pillbox which was holding
back air advance. Capt. Mccarthy
was cited for conspicuous gall
lantry and intrepidity at the risk Of
his life above and beyond the call
of duty"
Young Pvt. Lucas joined the
Marines because he looked several
years cider than his II years. He
was put on duty at a supply depot
in Hawaii. As the months passed,
he got tired of his routine. Slowing
Evening star., 1945-10-03

away on a Battle-Ground transport,
he managed to escape notice until
the Marines landed on Two Jima.
The lad went with them.
1t was the first and last time Pvt.
Lucas was under fire. But no vet
eran could have been cooler as he
advanced with the others under the
withering fire that swept the. beach
head, the Navy said.
AS the patrol to which he was
attached moved forward, Jap
grenade fell near him. Shouting to
the others to duck, he fell on the
grenade. Another grenade dropped
nearby, and he pulled that under his
body. Both exploded, infiicting
wounds that seemed certain to prove
fatal. But the hardy youth fooled
the surgeons and recovered.
Last month Pvt. Lucas was given
a medical discharge at hospital
in North Carolina. He escaped the
grenade wounds without an ampu-
tation. Beyond stiffness in one
arm, he is reported to show no i'll
effects Of his experience.
Jacks mother, Mrs. Margaret
Jones. who allowed him to enlist
at IA, viii be among relatives who
will witness the ceremony at the
White House. Senator Hoey, Demo-
crat. Of North Carolina will be there.
The Navy previously had an
nounced the names Of five. others
who will receive the Medal Of Honor
from the President on Nimitz day.

Former soldier Maurice H. Free
land lost his livelihood a
caterpillar tractor-when Japanese
gunfire shattered his legs on a Ba-
taan battlefield. Today, at Walter
Reed Hospital, the 23-year-old vet
eran received an honorable dis
charge, and brand-new profess
sion which he can fellow entirely
with his hands.
He, and in the future, other am
putees, are going to be certified
watch repairmen. Because he
showed great aptitude for handling
the tiny tools of the matchmaker 5
trade, Sergt. Freeland was selected
to take a free course provided by
the Bulova School of Matchmaking
Mrs. Harriet Jackson, here from the
Woodside Oong IslanO school es-
pecially to initiate Sergt. Freeland
into the complexities of watch
mechanisms, began instructing him
yesterday so he can instruct other
amputees in the preliminaries.
The Bulova idea is that potential
students might as well start learn
ing the why's and wherefores of
matchmaking while they are still
in the hospital. When they are
released from medical care, the
amputees can 60 to Woodside to
complete the one-year course pre-
scribed before they can become cer-
titled repairmen.
Jewellers Pledge I,50O Jobs.
Jewellers throughout the country
have pledged $500 jobs to amputees
who complete the Bulova curricu-
lum, which is without cost to the
veterans and without reimburse
ment from the Government. The
