Truett Owens
Writes Home
By MRS. GEORGE BACHER
Mrs. J. Kearby Masters is In
receipt of a letter from her brother,
Sgt. Truett J. Owens, who is serving
with the 2nd Signal Corps in Korea.
In part, the letter read, "We're
trying to make ourselves as com
fortable as possible here. But it's
not home and that's where we'd
all like to be. Lots of artillery here
at night. Plenty of fireworks, I
dont know why, but a person gets
to where he doesn't pay much at
tention to it just tries to forget
about it and go ahead and get the
job done. We are sitting right now
on the foot of hill 1062. Quite hill
and our men are firing on it con
stantly. Saw a round of artillery
come in today right next to a tent
up at the 38th Infantry where we
had been running commo lines. It
had no more than hit when one
fellow came out like a shot and
took off across country, out
through a creek. I think he's still
running! One more shot came in
and another fellow came out. Sup
pose the second one was going to
be brave and stay in the tent, but
the second shot changed his mind.
I don't know if anyone was hurt
I didn't go up to see!" .
Sgt. Owens and his wife, the
former Norma Porter, formerly re
sided in Roseburg. He was a mem
ber of the reserves before being
summoned to active duty. The
couple and their two daughteri
have resides in Salem for the last
few years.
