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

tel in Fort Worth, Mrs. Cyrene Bar
ratt states that Texans are wonder
ful people and she likes them very

ure of pinning the bars on the new
ly rated Lt. Barratt and a fraternity
brother of his.

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."
Anderson is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Axel Anderson, 2122 Temple
Court street, St. Paul, Minn.; Tan
nehill, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Clyde Tannehill, Boardman, Ore
gon; Doody, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Pat Doody, 5352 South Well street
Chicago; and Matray, son of Mr.
and Mrs. George Matray, 1626 West
Thirty-eighth street. Chicago, HI.
Lt. Wiley was a sergeant not very
long ago, and feels lucky to have
been returned from OCS to his old
outfit. Both Anderson and Tanne
hill were promoted recently.

Milk Deliveries . . .
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
