Jensen's pieces attracted wide attention at the last art show, his “pots and pans” and mass murder” exciting a great deal of comment.

Wal ter W. Shotts, now of the Ser vice Company. He lives quietly with his wife in Bend, working a peaceful routine job over in the film library. But a little while ago the man's life was not so peaceful. He did "time” in five overseas hospitals. "Boy, they sure move you around!" he grinned. As a trouble-shooter, setting up signal depots with the 205th Signal Service Company in Bone, Algiers, Shotts dodged German bombs as a matter of routine. "The conditions under which we had to work was the toughest part of it,” he said. “Very often the German planes didn't get through, but some times they did. Then it was pretty bad.” The same raid in which Shott's foot was crushed by a bomb fragment “or piece of plane,” 21 out of 30 men in his outfit were wounded. Forty men from an adjacent company were killed. Fourteen planes came in over the harbor, but only about three got through. The German fliers had a trick, pretty sly. The approach would be made at a comparatively high level. Then, suddenly, one plane would drop so low the ack ack boys on the ground wouldn't want to adjust their fuses for fear of getting a dose of their own pepper.
