San Diego, Calif, August 24—
Captain Edward Faubert of Shel-

months of army service. His re-
vertion to inactive status in the
Antiaircraft Artillery Forces Was
announced today by Colonel J. A.

attack. _Now that the danger has
lessened, it is possible for him to;
return to civilian life where he
will be well equipped to strength-
en the support the army must
have on the home front. However,
should it become necessary in the
country's interest, Captain Fau-
bert is subject to recall to active
duty."

Major, 204th AAA Group
Public Relations Officer.
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. Work against it! T ale against it!
Vote against it!

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

Lake Cushman
Man Married
by ‘Frances' Radtke ‘
Lake Cushman, Aug. 29—The i

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.

eymooning in Portland, Ore., and
will make their home at Lake
Cushman.

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.

trees spring up as mature ones
are harvested. And so, drat it, do
weeds in our Victory gardens.
