we were all to meet at the Mutt nomah hotel. It got to 12:l5 and no one appeared so Nondyce (Mrs. Minstrel, formerly work ed at the Log Waffle and her husband was in charge of refrig- eration at the base for the Navy) telephoned them. There was a mix up in orders, they said. They tried to get a police escort but were. only able to get a writ ten order allowing top speed.
 They arrived at l:45 (only 1 hour late). No, I didn't bite any finger nails off but I was on pins and needles. The driver went over 70 all the way and we ar- rived just as the 10 minute whistle blew which starts the launching. Was 1 lucky. We more than scrambled up the stairs to the platform.
 The program started by sing ing the Star Spangled Banner. Then an introductory announce ment by Hal Chase of the in- dividuals taking part. Hal Chase was master of ceremonies. Then Glenn (Robinson) gave 2 swell talk on Alaska and Kodiak. Jo Anne, as flower girl, presented each of us a huge bouquet of American Beauty roses.
 Rev. Hutchinson gave the in- vocation and during it mems qual tet hummed a hymn.

KODIAK DIARY ...

We are sure that everyone gave a sigh of relief when Chris
 mas was over. A Christmas boat that is late (fog-bound) can make things hectic. Stores had to open so vegetables, etc. could
 be sold. Transfers and dockmen, etc. had to work Sunday and Christmas day to get things un- loaded. The post office force worked until 5:30 Christmas morning and was back at 8 at it again doing their best to get Christmas packages out and de- livering them on Christmas day
 (and deserving of commendation for it).
 The weatherman, however, did his part. The day, without snow, dawned clear and beauti- full and stayed that way, and
 that night a mammoth moon, yellow in hue, showed brightly. Christmas Eve the Orpheum theatre was packed to over flow
 ing as townspeople gathered to
 hear the Christmas program,
 and beautiful it was, and later the Community BapGist Church
 was full, too, for it's beautiful music and Christmas message. Christmas day was clear again and people went to the post of flee for mail and went out for dinner or had others in for din- ner and as they met called Merry Christmas" ard sound- ed like they meant it.
 Christmas, as it should be, was a peaceful day in Kodiak.

until they had strafed and bombed

Then, only a few minutes be.

brought the BIS down for water

machine guns to the beach to fire
at the fliers, who had left the

Bullets chopped the sea around

toughest in year OF combat.
They made it, however, and Ser
geant Thurston was brought back
to his New Guinea base, tired but
ready to fight again.
A member of the Crusaders,
crack 18th AAF medium bomber
outfit, Thurston has flown in
numerous attacks against Rabaul
and other South Pacific enemy
bases. When the Crusaders clean
ed up Rabaul, they moved to New
Guinea to knock out airdromes in
the Netherlands East Indies and
sever the Japs' supply lines. More
than 100000 Japs are stranded in
the Indies, cut off from reinforce
