Sgt. Carl Wilson In Pacific
Mrs. Bertha Wilson is showing to
her friends a Jap flag of some kind

had been trying since last May to se­
cure permission to forward it to her

clear it through the mails.
Carl is a grandson of that Coos
county pioneer, Dan Wilson, and he
has been in Australia, on New Glinea
and in the southwest Pacific since
two years last Apri|. He writes that
he will be due for a furlough before
long.
