Romeo Youths
Are Sentenced
One Gets Prison;
Other Probation

ROMEO - Two Romeo men
involved in theft cases and ar
rested recently by State Police
have been sentenced to prison
and probationary terms by Cir
cult Judge George DesJardins,
in Lapeer county court.
Wilbur Drinkhorn, %, of 301
Sykes street, Romeo, was given
three to five years in state pris-
on, with a recommendation of
four.
Melvin Thorman, 10. of Ro-
meo, was placed on probation
for six months after the felony
charge against him was reduced
to simple larceny.
They were arrested after an
investigation by Trooper Fred
Buschell, of Romeo Post, after
numerous stolen articles were
found in Drinkhorn's car. Spe-
cific charge against Drinkhorn
concerned theft of a radio from
a car in Lapeer County, and that
against Thorman involved theft
of ice skates from a car.
Drinkhorn, suspected in num-
erous theft cases, was placed on
probation for larceny by the
Macomb Circuit Court several
years ago, investigation reveal
ed. Thorman, with a good past
record, was given leniency by
the court.
Trooper Buschell recently re-
vealed that the two companions
had Dragged to Romeo friends
regarding their AT draft CLASH
fications, claiming they acquired
it by increasing their heart ac-
tons before army physical ex-
aminations by consuming guam
titles of aspirins in "cokes".

deal. He was suffering from

A few more names and Sty-
melski was startled into action
again: "SEHIMEL, James B.,

There is a man who was at
Davao with me. Sehlmel was a
big guy, well built" Stymelski
recalled. He could take it
pretty well. One of those strict
diSciplinarians. trong for
rules and regulations. In fact,
he was often unpopular with the
men because Of his strictneSs.
But l guess he knew he had to
knuckle down and obey orders

"Sehimel was warrant Off

barracks leader, but Sehimel
laid down the law. Thank God

And as the names were tap
ped out by the teIetype keys
Stymelski followed every letter
and word. Here and there a
name was familiar:
Gee, / wonder if that's the
fellow we called Shorty Great
guy, Shorty He took lot from

Smith. We had a sergeant called
Smith Let's see, what was
his first name?"
And so on. Sgt. Stymelski to-
day is reading every available
list of the rescued, knowing full
well - what rescue from Jap
hands means.
He himself was among 83
Americans who fled under ma
chinegun and rifle fire from
sinking Jap transport off Min
doro Island in 1914, after an
American submarine had tor
pedoed it. There were $50
Americans aboard, jammed into
holds like cattle, being trans
ported TO distant rice fields.
After swimming and drifting on
Wreckage for three miles, the
survivors reached friendly Fill
plnos.
Stymelski, brought up in an
orphanage in Detroit, spent his
youth working on farms near
Mount Clemens. He is we'll
known here and has spent much
time of his current 90-day
prisoner furlough with his
sister, Mrs. Walter Wagner,

at the door, and Rev. Louis
Heinecke, not wishing to dis
turb the woman who has
walked on crutches for six
years, let himself in. Since the
war began he had carried many
messages to parents, most of
them sad; but this time his face
glowed with delight:
your son Bill is free and in
American hands. Let us thank
God together
So with bowed heads the
Trinity Lutheran pastor and his
church member humbly gave
thanks to the Lord of the 9lst
Psalm.
Mrs. Rieck's hours Of prayer
and anxiety, the climax of two
years and 271 days of waiting
since the fall of Bataan, were
ended when the name of Pfc.
William c. Rick came over
the Associated Press wire in the
list of freed prisoners.
A quick call from this news
paper to its Utica correspond
ent, Mrs. c. NJ. Foster, and Mrs.
Fosters timely call 10 the news
carrier Rev. Heinecke gave
Mrs Rick the greatest news of
her lifetime.
Her tears flowed freely, and
friends soon gathered to share
her JOY.
A short time later, Fred
Rick, father of Bill returned
home unaware of the days
happenings. Informed Of the
news he was too affected to say
a word. His tears revealed his
feelings better than words.
JOYOUS GATHERING
Within an hour the Riecks'
two married daughters had
been told, and they came swift
ly to Utica for the family's big
event. The word sped through
Utica on wings, and before long
steady train of callers visited
the Riecks and expressed their
feelings, will into the night.
Il had faith that Bill would
return to us" Mrs. Rick told
one caller. He got into scrapes
from childhood on up. but he
always come out all right"
Bill Rick enlisted in the
United States Army in 1889,
being attached to an "old army"
infantry unit which was used
TO reinforce the Philippines
when the war clouds doomed.
The rest of the story is history;
tragic but glorious. They fought
until hunger, disease and lack
of ammunition forced their sur
render at Bataan May 6, 1912.
From then on, as far as the
Rleck family was concerned,
there was a void, broken only
many months later by the curt,
formal notice of the japanese
government that Bill was a pris-
oner of war.
The Riecks endured the men,
tai anguish that only those with
loved ones in Jap hands have
suffered since 1912.
They read of the March OF
Death and shuddered.
Last week they received two
brief cards from Bill dated May
and July 1914, but at the same
time newspapers reported that
Macarthur col umns had
reached deserted and devastated
Camp O'Donnell, hell-hole
surrounded by thousands of ne
elected and unmarked graves.
Here and there among the de-
bris was a battered American
helmet or a scrap of ". S. Army
equipment.
This was the home into which
the news of Rieck's rescue burst
with blessed brilliance.
Today, sharing in the Joy
are the two sisters, Elvira (Mrs.

New Montana
Geologic Map

A new Z. 8. G. 8. geologic
map of Montana Is the first to
be published that shows I'm con-
siderable detail, on q scale Of 1
inch to approximately miles,
the occurrence and distribution
of the geologic formations of
the entire state.
The map, published in coopera-
ton with the Montana Bureau of
Mines and Geology, was compiled
from all available published maps
of areas in the state but also in
cludes much hitherto unpublished
information from the files of the
federal and state surveys and un-
published material contributed by
biologists of several oil companies
and other organizations.
Much of the information for the
western part of the state was
originally compiled by G. S. Lam
bert of the Montana Bureau of
Mines and Geology about Is years
ago, and this material was included
by G. w. Stose of the federal geo
logical survey In a general compila-
ton of the geology of Montana. This
material was utilized in the COM
pilation of the present map by d. A.
Andrews of the survey staff, with
revisions insofar as new informal
ton was available
The geologic contacts and faults
are printed in black and the
streams are shown in blue, on
base map printed in gray. The dis
tribution of the geologic formations
is indicated only by letter symbols
printed in black, for which an ex-
PLANTATION is provided at the bottom
of the map.
The map, entitled Geologic Map

drawn from the compact though any state may do
merely by giving so days notice of such intention.
Many representatives of the states in the compact
have expressed entire satisfaction with the program and
have urged representatives of Monana's oil regulatory
boards to join in supporting it The interstate commission
has to make any regulation rule binding upon
any state and cannot any direct regulate the
