CHUCK KNEELAND WRITES HOME August 8, 1944 Dear Editor: Just a few lines to let you know I am still receiving the Journal and enjoying it as much as ever. It sometimes comes late, but that can only be blamed on transportation facilities. Just so long as it keeps coming I’ll re- main happy. There isn‘t much excitement going on around this place to write about, so I am sending along a fish story written to me out here in the Pacific. Whether this is true or not, I wouldn’t venture to say. Your guess is as good as the next fellows. Any-1 how, here it is . . Dear Chuck: How are you and the “Kama- kas” getting along—are they be- coming any whiter as the months pass by? Due to nothing else to write about, I am going to tell you about a couple of things I’ve done in the past ‘month. With the as- sistance of two other fellows I have built a small sail boat, 4 feet by 10 feet with a 15 foot mast. It‘s vulnerable but quite fast and affords a few hours of exciting recreation. I went to Naval Operations in an attempt to get this small craft registered as not to have trouble with pirates or other low class of human beings who might take it upon themselves to borrow it. However, I made a complete fail- ure of the job, as I was confronted with a Lt. Comdr., who incident- ally has 20 years experience with sailing vessels, so you can see what I was up against. I told him all about the boat, from the laying of the keel to the launching and A VOTE against Referendum 25 is a vote against Total- itarianism in America for this Political Power Measure is a first step toward bureaucratic control of all free enter- prise; Referendum 25 is dangerous : : : a serious threat to your American rights.

For further facts, drop a cord lo Citizens Committee Seattle 1. If you wish to make your help will be appreciated; KEEP FREEDOM ALIVE Vulflqoinsfz M after all that trouble he tells me it is a suicide craft and not much of a boat. Of course that doesn’t make me feel any better toward him, but nevertheless we made arrangements to have a rendez- vous at certain degrees of lati- tude and longitude somewhere in the South Pacific. (The exact de- grees must be withheld due to strict censorship ruling here in this area). It was nearing the zero hour of which I was to meet this wea- ther-beaten, salty veteran of a Lt. Comdr. and I was paddling off shore in a two—man rubber life raft, which was to be used to transport the 01’ buy out to the sail boat when he arrived. Just as I was headed for shore I was startled by a blow on the back of my left arm. It is what took place in the next few minutes of which I am ashamed to tell. There was a splashing, squirm- ing, floundering, bouncing, jump- ing, wriggling, berserk mass of shark in the bilge of my raft. I can’t say for sure how long I stayed in the raft after he came aboard, but it probably wasn’t more than a 20th of a second. I decided he could have it and I would take to the “deep six,” which I did. After a few minutes struggle with Davy Jones, I man- I aged to bring the raft about and swim to shore with raft and shark in tow. Now my problem was how to kill this aquatic beast. My first attempt was using an aluminum oar, which was futile as it just bent, so I procured a large club about 6 feet long and 6 inches in diameter, and beat all signs of life out of that sleek, trim, ugly faced body. I wouldn’t have been so persistent in killing him so dead had it not been for the frenzied, maniacle state I was in. Also I wanted him for proof of my story, as I knew there would be some skeptic individuals who would doubt my integrity. Later we measured this shark. It was twenty eight inches long and tip- ped the scales at six pounds and four ounces. All in all it was a pretty sorry day, as the Comdr. didn't show up because of rain, and I was soaking wet and badly frightened. So now I believe I will just lay aft somewhere and quietly de- velop a new phobia against Lt. Comdrs., and sharks, or both. I haven’t decided which for sure, yet. Something like that should call for a good party in about 1947, eh what, Chuck? ' Your buddy, Joe That tops anything I could say so it’s best I close this epistle. Keep the paper coming . . . and thanks again. Sincerely, Chuck. BOB GATES IN AUSTRALIA This letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Gates from their son. Bob, who is stationed in Australia: Dear Mother and Dad: I have a rest leave of seven days and am now in Sidney: I never realized civilization could be so nice. I arrived two days ago and have already seen a lot of the town. It is just like any big Am- erican city. The steaks are the best I have ever eaten. I ate four meals the first day and was still hungry. It was sort of cold when we first arrived, but now it hardly frosts at night. None of the stores have heat in them. The doors are all left open. They are just like stores back home with- out heat. The streets are very dimly lighted and signs aren’t lit up like they are back home. The traffic is light and consists of all types of vehicles, some of which are rather ancient. The taxicabs are about the only modern cars. They are all American designs with the steering wheel on the right side. Many of the taxis are converted to use charcoal. The charcoal generators are usually mounted on the back or front. A big DeSoto using charcoal has to shift down clear to low on a hill that my tin Ford could go over in high gear. Some cars have a great big bag on top which I believe is for gas. Gaso- line, or petrol, as they call it, is a scarce article. The street cars are very simi- lar to ours and most of the busses are two-story affairs. Four of us are staying together. We have two rooms which are heated by a midget fireplace. The rooms are very nice and the beds are very soft. We have a feather mattress. It is surprising how many chil- dren go barefooted in this kind of weather. They are the healthi- est looking kids I've seen any- where. There are many nice thea- tres and places to dance. These Aussie's sure can jitterbug. It is about lunch time so I had better close. My stomach is get- ting a lot of consideration. I eat the best. Your loving son, Bob. OMER. DION IN ITALY T/Sgt. OmerL. Dion is now sta- tioned somewhere in Italy. He has visited Rome and Naples and likes the country pretty Well though he finds the people and ways of transportation quite dif— ferent from here. He says he is now sleeping in a. building instead I of in a tent as on first arrival. Over 30 airplane parts are made of compressed, resinsoaked paper, lighter than aluminum but strong as steel. No girl welder has yet written her phone number on a supercharger, however. v SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL Lake Cushman Man Married by ‘Frances' Radtke ‘ Lake Cushman, Aug. 29—The i Methodist parsonage in South Ta- l l coma was the setting for the mar— riage of Miss Blanch Stout of Seattle to Otto Radtke of Lake Cushman, August 28 at 8 p. m. The Reverend Harry L. Allan of-l ficiated at the double-ring cere-I mony. The bride wore a street-length, beaded dress of teal blue and a corsage of pink rosebuds with as- paragus fern. Mrs. Edward Radtke, close friend of the bride was matron of honor. She wore a black dress with white trim and; a corsage of white gardenias. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Edward Radtke, who act- ed as best man. Piano selections. by Mrs. Edward Radtke preceding the ceremony were “I Love You Truly,” and Irving Berlin’s “Al- ways.” There were 24 relatives and close friends present at the cere- mony which was followed by a reception at the Emil Radtke home in South Tacoma. Assisting at the reception were Miss Pa- tricia Carlson, Miss Mary Miller and Mrs. Daisy Mortensen, all of Seattle. Mrs. Walter Lamaster passed the guest book. The bride and groom cut the wedding cake which was decorat- ed with tiny double wedding rings and a bride and groom beneath an archway of orange blossoms and silver bells. The cake as a whole was artistically surround— ed by a wreath of white ane- mones and candy-tuft. Many lovely wedding presents were on display, among which were an IES lamp, an overstuffed swing rocker and a crisp, new one hundred dollar bill, gift of the groom’s father, Emil Radtke. Mer- riment was added to the occasion I by Leland Stout who decorated the bridal car with old shoes and a “just married" sign. Mr. and Mrs. Radtke are hon- eymooning in Portland, Ore., and will make their home at Lake Cushman. Matlock Citange Meets Saturday The Matlock Grange will meet Saturday night, September 2nd.

Dave Johns Here For Flying Visit Dave Johns, a former resident of Shelton, was a visitor in town this week from British Columbia, where he is operating a fishing craft. He reports that living is about pre-war on that side of the line, with plenty of good foods in the markets and eating houses at normal prices and no particular scarcity of goods for sale and lit- tle ration troubles.
