Just about the saf est, quietest spot

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

coincidence that to this quiet, I

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.

The war Is going to be "over" for many
more of our boys before victory.
We must not let them down! Right now
there is urgent need for lumber to ship
shells and other fighting stuff to fronts
around the world. 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. Special skill is not always
essential although more skilled loggers
are badly needed.
Don't Delay! The Need Is NOW!
