The company commander call- ed White and asked him where he wanted air strikes to hit. The platoon leader replied, "About 65 meters from where I am." Four jets came in but the air strike failed to knock out the enems, bunker. Wilson's grenade launcher wouldn't effectively de- molish the bunker either. White told the two men to cov- er him so that he could get the bunker. Wilson said, "No, I'll get it with a grenade," and charg- ed the bunker under protective fire from the other two men. He hurled two hand grenades in- to the bunker, knocking it out. He then continued on into the fortificatioh finding two dead North Vietnamese soldiers. He crawled out the front aperture carrying a red hot Russian ma- chine gun by one of its wooden parts. The men were then able to pull back even though sniper fire continued in the area. Timber Sale • Talmo Inc., Gig Harbor, with a bid of $11,450 was the high bidder on the Goat Ranch Di- ameter Thinning timber sale by the Department of Natural Re- sources Dec. 27. The sale was the only one in Mason County for December. • With the 12 western states as his assignment, small wonder Start Wyatt hasn't visited Shelton since 1952, when he spent only six hours here. He did last week, though, for several days, renewing old friendships and visiting brother Ralph Wyatt and other, kin, on an infrequent recess from the demanding duties of assistant director of first aid, small craft and safety service for the Am- erican Red Cross. He works out of the San Francisco office but doesn't see it or his home at nearby Millbrae very often as he piles up huge hunks of mile- age, mostly by air, covering his 12-state territory. WYATT WAS a 1937 graduate of Shelton High school, a foot- ball and basketball letterman with an avid love of swimming, which eventually led him to the Red Cross. He worked closely with the Shelton summer recrea- tion program' here when it was being initiated in the late 1930's, especially with the swimming and life saving phase directed by Carl Jensen, but also with Red Cross first aid classes. He became an official Red Cross staffer in 1947 and since then has spent 2 years in Europe and been assigned to field offices at Billings, Montana, and Fresno, Calif., before his present duties out of San Fran- cisco. His wife and four children, ranging from seven to 23 years of age, live at Millbrae, Calif.
