Times, January 6, 1 944 It Started Out Like Any Other Night In the Jungles of New Guinea . . . . Editor's Note: The following story was received from Gen eral Headquarters, South west Pacific Area, Public Relations Office. Somewhere in New Guinea: It started out like any other night in the jungle of New Guinea, with the crickets hissing in the trees, the parakeets and cockatoos settling down and making their last fussy squawks of the day. A Sixth Army communications team in a sand-bagged dugout talk ed of home and girl friends and of Australian, beer, and cursed for the thousandth time the termites which sprinkled them with sawdust from the rafters. First Lt. James E. Wiley of Farm erville, La., came in and joined in the conversation, gave some instruc tions and left the men with their work. T-Sgt. Thomas Doody, 27, Chica go, and Sgt. Donald Tannehill, 26, Boardman, Oregon, sat at the ra dios, and Walter Matray, 24, Chi cago, at his telephone switchboard. Cpl. Herman Anderson, 29, St. Paul, Minn., off duty, read a magazine. And then it rained not just an ordinary rain, but a flood from the sky. Outside, water spilled over foot deep rain trenches, swept through tents, tore ravines down the wind ing company street, filled slit tren ches and swept gardens away. Inside, muddy water started to drop on message pads and blanks, down operators' necks, over the island's largest and most precious collection of 62 pin-ups. Men dashed about, putting up shelter halves, hiding papers, yell ing for Joe, hey Pete. Lt. Wiley came sliding down the sluice that once was steps, scrambled out again for trench shovels. New, deeper trenches and higher dikes were made, the rain settled down to a steady downpour, and things quiet LIKES TEXAS Writing from the Blackstone ho tel in Fort Worth, Mrs. Cyrene Bar ratt states that Texans are wonder ful people and she likes them very much.

Dane ed down. Then in came "Sad Sack", a Heinz log. Sad Sack came in every night to sleep only this night she had to have puppies. She lay on the high ground under the switchboard at Matray's feet and had four of them. Between telephone calls Matray peeked under the board and gave the progress report: "There are two now. Still only two. Poor Sad Sack. Good girl, Sad Sack You're a good girl. Now there's three little pups. All black." And then after three hours: "Four, by gosh, and I guess that's all there is there ain't no more." " Anderson went in search of a box. Tannenill, watching Ander son struggle up the steps, jumped to his feet, shouted "Look at that will you!" There slithering in the door, was a six foot snake with a vicious flat head. No one remembers who kill ed it they all had a crack at it. The next day the surgeon had a look at it, removed the fangs and said they dripped poison. He didn't know what kind it was. "You know." said Anderson, la ter, "this isn't a bad place at all. It could be a lot worse. You find cen tipedes and lizards in your bed once in a while, and there are things like that, but we are eating well and have a fine camp."

Continued from First Page the lot left. Advancing prices of feed and shortage of their own crops have not added to the dairy operators' comfort Marvin Wightrman answered the OPA's assertion that the reason the Alfalfa Lawn dairy's request for a raise in milk price had not been acted upon was because no such request had been received by stating that figures were submitted in January 1943 with a request that Heppner be placed on a price basis equivalent to that in effect at Pendleton, Hermiston and Te Dalles. The dairy got no notice from the OPA until that authority learn ed that milk was selling for 14 cents per quart here. A chamber of commerce request last week that the OPA grant a raise in price effective by Jan. 1 brought a reply to the effect that such prompt action was impossible and that the best that could be expected would be 10 days as the decision must be made by the re gional director in San Francisco. Kenneth House presided at Mon day's meeting, having been a mem ber of the committee investigating the milk situation. Besides the y.C.PENNEV CO Values For Warm, Durable Service!
