A But so that neoplein,; America
may know something of the pow
er, of their- bombers to -destroy a
city body and soul, I would like
to tell; ie story ;Of, Messina. :
240. Rajds ' ; - - lI ,
! By my . count, bombers, attacked
lis at least 200 times.. Sometimes
they vcamethreV or "four-times' a
day andpften f a niglit- For two
weefcTbefore 'tEe .GernMmsj final-,

day's peace. It is impossible to
sleep,, eat or even think when you
know that bombs may be falling
the : very, nextr moment Nothing
on earthy could be .worse than what
we have been through.- ? ; '
', - " " .
As a government employe, it has
been my job to survey the destruc
tion . and make recommendations
for repairs. Hence I am in a posi
tion to faithfully report that every
single building within the limits
of the city, proper has been : dam
aged, to some extent We halted
all, reconstruction work early ; in
May. For the last two weeks I have
not even been trying to keep up
with' my job. I couldn't possibly
complete a survey of the damage
of one raid before another began.
Supplies Halted " f
I have -been told' that the main
object in bombing Messina was to
halt supplies coming " into Sicily
from Italy. I estimate you were 75
per cent successful. There used to
be four train ferries running be
tween here and the mainland.
Bombs smashed them all, leaving
only small boats. ;
Some people in Messina actual
ly believe that American bombers
have supernatural power to track
down houses -with military stores.
There orignally were about 50 in
the city. .When one was ; bombed
the soldiers would gather up what
was left and take ' it to another
building. The people living in that
neighborhood then woield move
away.
"They'll find it" they would
say.'
; Sure enough, the new ware
houses would be bombed. My rec
ords showed about 40 hit alto
gether. I, myself,, even heard Ger
mans say your planes seemed to
have eyes to see everything they
did.

Urgent Call
For Seabees ,
Although the Salem navy re
cruiting station is second only to
Portland in recruiting of Seabees
this month, the statewide average
isn't so good and.. Oregon's lead
is being seriously threatened by
Washington and Utah, Chief Spe
cialist Otto R. Anderson of the
Salem office has revealed. ; "
August's national call for Sea
bees is by far the largest ever
scheduled and - this district must
do' its part if Oregon is to meet
its quota, Chief. Anderson empha
sized. ;
At present . any ; man between
17 and 50 years, inclusive, may
volunteer for the navy's construc
tion battalions. Those in the draft
ages, 17 to 37, inclusive, may vol
unteer, 'through their " induction
boards, provided they can qualify
for skilled trade ratings now avail
able. Those in the 'non-draft ages
may volunteer either for skilled
or non-skilled ratings. : ;. ; ;
' Men who believe they are. qua
lified for ratings in the Seabees
are invited to go to the; Salem
recruiting station for an interview.
Those found qualified will be sent
to the main station in Portland
for enlistment

Reviewing the whole campaign
against Messina I can see where
you made only one big mistake
you let the Germans get away;
They all seemed to go from one
place. Faro at the tip of the is
land. They took the biggest boats
Siebel ferries and left then rest
to the Italians. I heard about 40,-000-got
across.-The last went on

That's the only thing the people
of Messina hold against you. If
you had killed every German who
tried to get to Italy we wouldn't
care what happened to the city.

Before - being :, notified -' of - this

of ' roast turkey they had on hand.
