L Your Valentine By ANN CONNELL To hear Lt Col. George E. Falk ner talk about his military career would lead one to believe that life it "just a bowl of cherries" in the troop carrier command; that this is one outfit where clanger never strikes, risks are never taken; Just about the saf est, quietest spot in the whole wide, warring world. (He wis talking before his wife,, of course.) Missions are negligible, he would have one think; seemingly no ac count is kept of their number: "We're not at all like the combat fliers who go out day after day. night after night; our flights are i all at one time, maybe months . apart, depending upon when an invasion is on." i Apparently, it's just a matter of j coincidence that to this quiet, I smiling young man, whose years number only 28 (probably far fewer than his missions) have ' come the silver leaves, shoulder I insignia of a lieutenant colonel; the air medal with five oakleat i clusters (although he wears but ' one or two of them); the dlstin-' guished flying cross and recently, I the bronze star and unit citation.

How It Keally Is ILQad LT, COL. FALKNER 41st Division Has Big Part In Pacific HEAQUARTEHS 41ST DIVI SION. Far Pacific Of 16 major assault-invasions launched by the U. S. forces against the Japs hi 1944, four, or one-quarter of the total, were sprung by the famed 41st infantry division. The amphibious attacks and subsequent conquests of Aitape, Hollandia, Wakde and Biak were accomplished by the 41st. The other 12 Pacific invasions were, chronologically, Saidor, the Marshall:, the Admiralties, Sai pan, Guam, Noemfoor, San&apor, Morotai, Palau, Leyte, Ormoc and Mindoro. A grand total of 20-odd divisions, including marines, han dled those assignments. ' - The 41st, commanded by MaJ. Gen. Jens A. Doe, is the most vet eran outfit in the southwest Pa cific, now serving its 34th month overseas. In addition to the afore mentioned actions, the division in 1943 participated in the jungle fighting at Buna, Sanananda and Salamaua. During the latter cam paign the Jungleers established a world record for continuous fight ing in foxholes by enduring 76 consecutive days and nights with out relief or surcease. Three times has President Roosevelt conferred unit citations on the 41st, a record no other ermy division has attained in the Pacific war.

Lives are sacrificed be-' cause somewhere here at home some people believe "that the war is almost over." WHAT YOU CAN DO: Let's stop such day-dreaming and get on with the job. If YOU know of anyone not working in a war industry, urge him to apply at the nearest lumber mill or logging camp right now.
