Statesman Readers R espona
To man CalL Comfort Injured
G With Letters From Home
A Salem soldier recuperating in a Hawaii Army hospital Is
writing letters as fast as his painful shoulder wound will permit
thanks to Statesman appeal for mail last month. '
Sgt. Harry M. Logan, son of Mr.? and Mrs. B. E. Logan. 3440
Hollywood Ave asked his parents to .request Statesman readers to
. write him as he whiled away-, the tune in a Korean hospital.
. The story of Logan's rescue of
a wounded lieutenant and his own
subsequent injury by enemy fire
during one of the year's biggest
actions at the Carson -Elko out
posts Was published in the June
11 Statesman.
The Reader's Write
Since then Sergeant Logan has
been getting letters. The response
of friendly and interested States
man readers was more than any
thing he expected, his mother
said. He's getting mail from Sa
lem, Silverton, Mill City, other
valley points Snd communities as
far distant as The Dalles.
In a letter to The Statesman
from Hawaii dated July 7, Logan
himself says:
Td like to thank all the peo
ple on the paper for that nice
write-up about me. I didnt ex
pect anything like that because I
just did my job like a lot of other
guys did and still are doing in
Korea. Would you please put it
in the paper thanking all the
people for writing those nice let
ters to me? It sure did help raise
my morale.
About 20 Behind
"I'm answering all of them but
there were so many that I'm
about 20 behind now, but I will
answer all of them. I can't write
more than two or three letters a
day because my arm is quite pain
ful and it's hard to concentrate
on writing. IH say goodbye for
now and thanks a lot".
Seriously wounded by mortar
fragment in the left shoulder, Lo
gan was recently awarded the
Purple Heart medal and the Com
bat Infantry badge. From the Ko
rean front he was flown to Tokyo
Army Hospital and this month
arrived at Tripler Army Hospital
(Ward 10), Oahu, Hawaii.
His mother reports that he will
probably be in the hospital from
six months to two years, and phy
sicians hope he will regain up to
90 per cent of the use of his left
arm. f
7-Year Veteran
A veteran of seven years of
Army service, Logan plans to stay
in the Army for another 13 years,
Mrs. Logan said. He was in the
military police in Vienna, Austria,
for some time, and was stationed
in Hawaii (where he taught judo
and swimming to servicemen) be
fore the Korean .action.
The Logans are a regular Army
family. Harry's younger brother,
Sgt. George E. Logan, is a vpara
trooper at Ft. Campbell, Ky. and
has been in service three years.
A sister, Phyllis R. Logan, a 1952
graduate of Salem High School,
enlisted in Che Women's Army
Corps here last month.
The youngest, 17-year-old For
rest Logan, will be a senior at Sa
lem High this falL Mrs. Logan
hopes he doesn't enlist or get
drafted right away she'd like to
see him go on to college. Three
children in the Army ought to be
enough for one family, she thinks.
But meanwhile, she's as grate
ful as her son for the neighborly
interest, expressed by letters, that
Salem and valley folks have
shown in Harry.
WIVES RANK FIRST
DENVER (INS)-Even the na
tion's fourth largest industry
can't compete with the house
wife. Philip D- Johnson of the
National Restaurant Association
told delegates to the Colorado
Wyoming Restaurant Association
recently in Denver that the in
dustry ranks fourth in the na
tion. But he said that despite
high standards, professional food
handlers can't hope to compete
with the housewife when it comes
to cooking.
