Harstine Men Try New Idea
On Oyster Seed Production
By CARMEN YATES
• The year-old seed Chuck
Bridges and Larry Saeger
brought home to Harstine last
week was a venture that was
started early last summer. The
individual oyster shells were first
strung on seven foot wires. This
was accomplished by first punch-
ing a hole in the shell with a
pointed hammer. Iola Shadbolt,
Pete Brignon and Kathryn
Bridges did the stringing for
them. When the goal of 3,050
strings was reached last August
they were then loaded on trucks

barges, and taken out to the
permanent racks. These racks,
made out of creosoted lumber,
are made very similar to a saw

over six feet. Being quite flat
the depth is nearly the same in
all parts of the bay.

wounds inflicted during last
month's conflict with the Viet
Cong. Cpl. Faulkner is with the
2nd Brigade of the 4th Infantry
Division. Here are some excerpts
from letters to home; "People
back in the States really can't
realize what it is like over here.
Sure people hear it is bad but
until one experiences the sounds
and sees the sights, they just
don't 'know how the infantry
lives. The sad part, it's only
the infantry that goes through
it. You never feel secure even
when I was in the hospital there
was always the threat of a V.C.
mortar so one never can relax.
I suppose when I get home, I'll
be quite jumpy for awhile, be-
cause now, as tired as I get
the slightest little sound I'm
makes me sick to think of all
the draft dodgers."
"It's funny, but no matter
where you are in Viet Nam
everyone has heard of C Co. 2nd
of the 22nd. I guess we are
doing a wonderful job in Viet
Nam. It used to be the 1st Br.
5th Inf. (Mech) who was the
big name but now the G.I.'s
all talk about us. Really it makes
me proud of our unit." "Since
we have been here we have
found more rice at one time of
any unit since the war began,
we have also found the biggest
map found. I don't know if they
say much in the papers back
home, but I know over here we
are well known. Everyone has
started calling us the Tripple
Dace. It does really make me
proud for I know we have done
a lot to help in the Viet Nam
War." "We have been citated
again for our efforts over here.
This in it's self proves we have
done a great deal over here."
Note that he reiterates what
so many veterans say when
they come home. They do not
want to talk tot) much about
what has happened.
