II. WHITNEY RECALLS PIONEER
DAYS ON FLORIDA'S EAST COAST
By ]. HARTMAN BRoDOWSKI
MOB Civilian Publicity Director

Mr.. Whitney sold cars and con-
sidered himself a pretty go9d
driver. So, during World War I,
Mr.. Whitney signed. up as an
ambulance driver with the
YMCA because i'll health dis
qualified him ? from service. A
group of thirteen drivers went
overseas on the old Chicago
and landed in France rarin' to
go. Mr.. Whitney's ideas in re-
CARDS to his driving abilities
were soon changed as he bounc-
ed over rut filled, bumpy roads
in pitch darkness, trying to fol-
low the pin point of red light
that distinguished the ambulance
ahead. With bombs bursting and
shells screaming across his
hood, Mr.. Whitney came through
the war with only a shrapnel
cut finger. He was saved by the
sturdy construction of his am
bulance, the door of which
stopped a large piece of metal
meant for him. Some of the
others in his group weren't so
lucky. Of the IS that landed in
France, seven were killed. Ser
wing with many distinguished
fighting units, Mr.. Whitney's
ambulance became attached to
the famous And Division, popu-
larly known as the Rainbow
Division.
Mr.. Whitney who has worked
with MOB for four years, has
seen Key West grow from a
tropical wilderness and watched
the Naval Operating Base spring
from its sleepy, prewar infancy
into the busting, efficient activ-
ity it is today. Mr.. Whitney has
one son, Lieut.. Comdr. Herbert
Whitney, Jr., of the Naval Air
Forces currently stationed al
Saipan; and daughter in New
York who shortly intends to
come to Key West and make her
home here. But as far as Mr.
Whitney is concerned, all he
wants to do is retire, start a
goat farm on his Big Pine Key
property and just drink goat
milk and fish all day long!

EXPLAINS NAVY
ENLISTMENTS

Chief Petty Officer H. C.
Thompson, navy recruiter in
charge of the Billings area, an
nounced this week that effect
i've October l, all ex-navy men
who have broken service, that
is, who have been discharged
more than 80 days, must re-en-
list as seaman first class, fire
man first class, hospital ap-
prentice first class or stewards
mate first class.
All men out of the service
for more than 80 days who are
c considering re-enlistment
should waste no time in taking
advantage of rates that will be
open until October l., Chief
Thompson said. After that date
reduction in rate will be made.
The order does not effect
regular navy men if they re-
enlist within 80 days. They
may return to the service at
the rate they held at the time
of discharge.
Those who wish to re-enlist
within the October l deadline
should not wait until the last
day to apply, according to
Thompson. A temporary rejec-
ton for any one of several rea-
sons would place such a man
over the 80 day limit and cause
him to lose his continuous
service benefits and the chance
to re-enlist in the rating held
at discharge, he pointed out.

Campaign to
Start Soon
SGcing at Holly
Factory to Begin
September 20

Slicing in the Holly Suga,
company's Hardin factory is
tentatively scheduled to start
Saturday, September %, Ira
Croghan, superintendent, an
nouilced this week.
Mr.. Croghan said that if the
wet weather continues, how
ever, the start of campaign
may be delayed a day.
The beets are larger than
average this year, he said, and
a good tonnage is expected.
Early tests indicate that the
sugar content may be a little
lower than last year, but this
is not yet definite.
The local factory will slice
beets from this area and from
the Miles City district. Accord
ing to Mr.. Croghan, more than
half of all tonnage processed
here will be from Miles City.
All persons who have rooms
to rent are requested to call
the factory office. Living space
for the migratory factory cam
paign workers is expected to be
difficult to find again, since
the housing situation in Hardin
is worse than ever.
