mHm Substitute for Victory
was the tlUe of the film nar
rated by John Wayne that Mr
and Mrs. Ron Brlttner, along
with Mr. and Mrs. Carl Mar
ouardt and Mr. and Mrs. Tru
man Messenger attended In
Richland last Wednesday. The
Morrow county group thought
the film was one of tne most
enlightening films of the war
In Vietnam ever made. The rum
was first made by a photogra
pher named Chuck Keen, a for
mer photographer for Walt Dis
ney Studios who spent more
time In the war zones than any
other American correspondent
While there he realized the peo
pie of America were not get
ting the whole picture about
this "funny" war so he decided
to try to show some of the truth
about it In a film. It so hap
pened that John Wayne was one
of those who first saw this film.
He thought there should be
some alterations made so he
asked Mr. Keen If he might take
the film to his studio and make
the changes he thought were
necessary. Mr. Keen agreed and
the film was changed. The rum
Is now completely narrated ' by
John Wayne with appearances
by Generals Paul Harklns, Com
mander of the U. S. Military As
sistance Command in Vietnam
from 1962 to 1964'; Albert C.
Wedemeyer, Commander of U. S.
Forces In the Far East during
WWII; Mark Clark, WWII Army
Commander and successor to
General Douglas MaeArthux as
commander of all forces In the
Korean War; Adm. U. S. Grant
Sharp, Commander-in-chief of
Naval Operations in the Pacific
during most of the Vietnam
War; Lowell Thomas, nationally
known newscaster; Hon. Ezra
Taft Benson, former Secretary of
Agriculture; Hon. C. R. Lewis,
Alaskan State Senator; Martha
Raye, popular entertainer . who
has travelled to Vietnam nine
times to visit our troops; Peter
Stark, former Green Beret who
lost both legs while fighting in
Vietnam; Norde Wilson, former
Naval Aviator who completed
125 combat air ml Ions in Viet
nam; Barry Sadler, Green Beret
combat veteran who wrote "The
Ballad of the Green Berets'; and
H. Thomas Hayden, former of
ficial for the Agency for Inter
national Development who be
came the most heavily decorat
ed American civilian In Viet
nam. Those seeing the film feela
that It shows how the Vietnam
war could be ended and that in
a short period of time. ;
The film also contains many
scenes of actual combat on the
ground and in the air. There
were also scenes taken from
planes while on combat missions
over North Vietnam. If anyone
has an opportunity to see this
film we recommend they see it,
especially if they have a friend
or relative in or who has been
In Vietnam because It will sure
ly explain many unanswered
questions for them. The film
will be shown In this area if
it is at all possible for us to
get it. Notification will follow
as soon, as It is received.'

Whistle Stop

Bill VanWinkle Has
Surgery in Portland
Mr. Bill Van Winkle, Lexing
ton, underwent surgery at the
Portland Medical Clinic Hospital
on Monday. His wife, Gladys,
and sister, June DuVall, are
with Bill. According to Mrs. Jack
Van Winkle, Heppner, Bill came
through the surgery just fine
and is on the way to a nice re
covery.
Sunday moning the Rupe Ken
nedy's were expecting a couple
from The Dalles for dinner.
About 10:30 a.m. the unusual
happened at the remodeled
abandoned railroad depot east
of Boardman that the Kennedy's
are making into an unusual
home. The No. 18 Union Pacific
passenger train stopped right in
back of the house and an Amer
ican flag was waved out the
window. Other passengers on
the train were amused or amaz
ed. The conductor very courte
ously opened the door and plac
ed the step on the gravel rail
road bed and 13 well wishers
from The Dalles and Portland
stepped onto the desert.
They crawled through the
barbed wire fence on the right-of-way
with food and beverag
es, even the ice, and the festiv
ities began on a lovely day, the
first day of spring. The guests
were Don and Barbara Williams;
Malcolm, Jean and Patty Krier;
Dr. Paul and Lucetta Vogt; Bert
and Christien Keith; Allen and
Nikl Tom and Ed and Naomi
Shallhorn.
To top it off, an airplane flew
low over Grand Central Station,
landed and parked in front of
the house. David and , Brian
Tom had arrived. Along' came
Doc and Emma Docken bearing
gifts of nature. Later Chuck and
Charlotte Hoag from Spokane,
Wash., stopped In.
The flag was placed on the
railroad fence to mark the de
parture of the evening train.
About 7 p.m. the west bound
passenger train stopped and the
guests again crawled through
the fence and returned to The
Dalles after a very enjoyable
day on the desert and the Col
umbia. The Kennedy's never expect
to have a more enjoyable occasion.
