at them. The rounds landed all
around them but niraculously
no one was hit.
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

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.
