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.

'HEREVER your invasion forces are fighting at sea, In

It's going to take teamwork-a lot of it to put this 5th War

of invasion rises every one of us must mobilize for support of our

have to make, let us all invest in War Bonds now more and more
