TALENT BOY HAS
News of a Yank's difficulty In
mastering problems of English
money, expressions and customs (I
came recently in the form of a
letter written to a Medford
friend by Pvt. Edward L. Wal
ters, former Mail Tribune carrier
now stationed "somewhere in
England" with an American in
fantry unit. A graduate of Talent
high school, Walters Is the son I
of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Walters j
cf R-ute 1, Central Point.
Walters writes that England Is
a "very pretty country with
many old and historical build
ings and castles. Sheep and cattle
graze on the countryside fields,
making a beautiful setting."
Stationery Is hard to obtain,
the local boy says, but mail from
home is always welcome to the i
soldiers.
He continues, "The thing that
looked the queerest at first to
us is the fact that they drive on
the left side of the road. English
money was our biggest problem,
most of us have it figured out;
now but this pounds, crowns,
shillings, etc., was sure a mystery
at first.
"The English people seem
quite friendly and treat us well.
They ore a little hard to under
stand unless they talk slowly.
They use a lot of different names
than we do such as pubs, bobbies, j
petrol and others.
Johnson Brothers
Meet By Chance
In South Pacific',
Of the 150 million bushels of
apples ordinarily grown each
year In the United States, at
least 20 million never reach the
processing plant or the open
market, and are largely left in
the orchard to waste. ,
Two Jacksonville brothers,'
Pvt. Simon and Pvt. Arthur-
Johnson, recently had a surprise
meeting at an army camp in a '
South Pacific Island, the twoj
servicemen meeting by chance
as they both walked on the
camp grounds. Neither brother
knew that the other had been as-1
signed to the Island, an exchange,
or information showing their
camps to be but a quarter of a
mile apart.
In letters to their mother, Mrs.
R. A. Johnson of Jacksonville
the brothers told of the surnrlse i
meeting. Two other brothers are 1 1
also In the service. Sgt. William;
Johnson is stationed in England j
and Sgt. Carl Jensen Is stationed
in Kansas,
Both Simon and Arthur John
son participated in the Marshall (
islands battles, and Simon holds
a Purple Heart medal awarded
for wounds received In thei
Aleutian islands.
