Guadalcanal Marines Give Purse To Rebuild Missions (The following dispatch was written by Sgt. Ray Fitzpat rick, 62 Pleasant St., Waterbury, Conn., a Marine corps combat correspondent.) Guadalcanal (U.R) Catholic Marines stationed on this island have established a fund to aid in the restoration of missions destroyed in the Solomon islands campaign. With allotments for families and war bonds deducted, most leathernecks don't have any great sum of money on payday, but they are contrib uting generously. The fund, which Is being gathered unofficially, was the idea of several Marines who learned that plans to rebuild churches, schools, hospitals, and mission buildings were being made. Other Catholic leather necks gladly volunteered their support, and the total of con tributions has already reached a substantial figure. The money will be turned over to the two bishops of the Solomons, Most Reverend Wil liam Aubin, of the Marrist Fa thers, bishop of the Southern Solomons, and Most Reverend Thomas Wade, bishop of the Northern Solomons. Bishop Au- bio's diocese takes in Guadal canal, Tulagi, the Floridas, and adjacent islands. That of Bish op Wade includes Bougainville, Choiseul, the Shortlands, and the Treasuries. Ending of the Solomons cam paign with the capture of Green island and the consequent bot-tling-up of the Japanese forces to the south, makes possible the start of restoration. There still are thousands of Japanese on Bougainville, but their escape is cut off. Destruction of the Catholic missions .on Guadalcanal was a heart-breaking blow to Bishop Aubin, for in a few months the Japanese ground to rubble his work of 36 years. But, confi dently, he is beginning his work anew. Every Catholic building on Guadalcanal was demolished. Schools, churches and dispen saries were looted. On Bou gainville, Bishop Wade, a na tive of Providence, R. I., was in hiding in the Jungle for three months until he effected an escape. As American forces move across the Pacific, Bishop Au bin and Bishop Wade are pre paring for the day when mili tary control is relinquished and the Solomons British-mandated possessions are again adminis tered by civilians. Ask Store Plans On Double Holiday Merchants and other business people of the district are asked to call the Chamber of Com merce as soon as possible and state whether or not they plan to open for business on Monday, July 3. Frank Hull, manager of the chamber, states that there is apparently some difference of opinion as to the desirability of closing for both July 3 and 4, and he is anxious to have as many business owners and man agers as possible make known their plans.
