A one-man art show display

the Service Club this week.

Jensen's pieces attracted wide
attention at the last art show,
his “pots and pans” and mass

comment.

according to Shotts, that was
One such veteran is Cpl. 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.
"Stay away from oil and gaso
line depots,” he wam«'d. Then,
with a twinkle, added. “Maybe
the best thing is to dig a hole
and pull it in after you!”
