Ernest Hanna of San: SHELTON-MASON_COUNTY JOURNAL Sanderson Home (Continued from Page One) , erty motors in the long over—water [flight to the Carribeans in 1919, ‘and two years later he Was back in Haiti fighting the natives in revolution and made some daring flights. It was there that “Woody” is said to have developed the dive- bombing idea which is proving so effective in this war. I Earned Honors During the years of his rise to the Colonelcy he has earned all his stripes and honors in active ser- vice, mostly on the Atlantic Coast, stationed at Quantico, but lmore recently at San Diego, where his wife and daughter make their home, his son now be- ing in training for air service. During these 25 years of peace he has featured in many events de- signed to impress the nation with the importance of the airplane in peace as well as war, has had his share of hair-breadth escapes from serious injury, and returns home for his brief rest tough and weathered by his more recent ex- periences in the South Pacific waters. Here in Shelton besides meeting Imany of the people he knew in youth, now grown up to middle age like himself, “Woody” was in demand for more public talks and gave the boys at the high school a brief review of some of his ex- periences, and of his observations at home and abroad, centered ar- ound the idea that Americans have fought for their liberties throughout history, and now the job of keeping the nation free af- ter it is saved again will devolve on youth now at their schooling. Speaks To Klwanlans Speaking before the Kiwanis Club Tuesday he went further into his more recent experiences in the fighting in the Solomons, told of the ships and planes and of the several battles now so well known in which his planes took part, as well as the daily and nightly encounters with the Japs by sea and land. For the first few weeks after landing on Guadalcanal the Marines were badly outclassed and without support, during which lperiod the Japs took‘ heavy toll of the Allies, but slowly the bal- ance has turned in favor of our I forces with planes, guns, men and supplies, and from now on the enemy will be outclassed although still dangerous. However, Col. Sanderson said the Japs are no mean foe, their Zero planes are faster but more vulnerable, their spirit is good but their treachery is bad; and after a few such ex- periences the Americans get hard- boiled and take few prisoners. His summary of the fighting “down under” is about What the public has gained by the stories in the news, particularly of the naval battles in which our older vessels suffered much‘damage, but the new type are keeping the Japs at distance, so far. His stories of picking Jap snipers out of trees and dodging in “fox holes” from aerial strifing, wallowing in rain and mud in the early days of ffghting made his hearers realize the news stories more deeply. Tropical diseases were adding to the dangers, but American hos- pital service was right behind the , lines supporting the fighters with la high percentage of life saving. Altogether Col. Sanderson’s story was reassuring for future success, but made it plain that the Jap enemy was no push over and would be contesting every foot of ground already gained until our planes could strike at the vital spot of Japan itself. / Middle Skokomish Valley Brevities By Mrs. Valley The Junior Womens Club en- tertained their husbands Saturday night with a dinner.
