workers continued their never

wreckage of homes, shops and

A robot bomb crashed direct

and exacted a terrible toll.
Many of the victims were per

SGT. HOUSE SENDS
IN
Mrs. W. I. House of Route 4,
box 217 has received from her
son, Sgt. Donald House of the
amphibian engineers, stationed
in New Guinea, a copy of a
radio script broadcast from
there and telling of the work of
his unit, including the stories of
two heroic men who particular
ly distinguished themselves in
the dangerous work. House,
who left the United States in
January of 1943, landed in New
Guinea May 21 of that year, and
writes that he is "still very
busy." '
The script describes some of
the work of the amphibian engi
neers in unloading supplies from
cargo ships to shore, by barge,
often under enemy gunfire or
in heavy seas and near treacher
ous coral reefs.
One Man Cut Off
One man in the unit, Sgt.
Bobby Winter of Chicago lived
through an experience involv
ing serious wounds and isolation
in enemy territory for two
weeks. He was a member of a
scouting party in a barge on
New Britain Island, 25 miles
from base when they were cut
off from the sea by Jap barges.
The men escaped into the jungle
except Winter who was
wounded in both legs and re
mained behind. The Japs failed
to find him, and in a week his
legs healed sufficiently so he
could walk about a small area.
U. S. planes, mistaking him for
a Jap, strafed him, and an earth
quake hit the island, but after
a couple of weeks natives sent
by his buddies found him and
evacuated him to his base.
Other "heroes" in the unit
were Cpl. Stephen Popa of De
troit and Junior N. Van Noy of
Preston, Ida., the script contin
ues. They were part of a very
small force making up a flank
landing which protects the main
invasion group On one particu
lar time they were bombed and
strafed by enemy gunfire when
they landed, and Van Noy, a
soft-spoken lad regarded as a
"Mama's boy," was hit by shrap
nel in five places but refused to
leave his 50-caliber gun, which
brought down one plane. Then
came the Jap counter-attack, a
few nights after the landing.
The Americans roused and took
their stations auditing the land
ing of the three barges carrying
Japs. Van Noy and Popa, his
loader, manned a gun 15 feet
from the water's edge, but held
their fire until the barges land
ed. One craft was sunk off-shore,
and the other two came in ahead
of Van Noy. A hand grenade
tossed into the gun hole shat
tered Popa's leg, and he crawled
to safety, expecting Van Noy
to follow. Instead, he held his
ground and machine-gunned the
Japs, directly accounting for at
least half of them. Spotted by
the line of his tracer bullets, he
was killed by the enemy. His
buddies buried him next morn
ing on the island.
TABLE ROCK AREA
DECLARES WAR ON
MOSQUITO HORDE
' Organizing to combat mosqui
toes, reported to be in greater
prevalence this year than for
some time past, 31 residents of
the Table Rock area have form
ed the Table Rock Mosquito
Control association. A survey of
the district was made subse
quently by a committee of mem
bers, a spokesman for which
stated yesterday that they had
found evidence to show that pro
bably 25 percent of the trouble
was caused by inadequate drain
age of water, and 75 percent is
due to improper use of irriga
tion. Officers of the association and
committee members urge all
water users to exercise the ut
most care in seeing that a mini
mum of water is left standing
in fields after irrigation, as mos
quitoes can deposit eggs in very
small amounts of water, and
only six or seven days later they
are hatched. Other activities of
the group include plans for a
cooperative effort in oiling lar
ger bodies of water.
John Nealon is president of
the newly-formed association,
and Everett Brown is vice presi
dent. Norma Miller is secretary
treasurer. Also engaged in mosquito ex
terminating activities in this dis
trict are the sanitation branch
and the post engineers at Camp
White, and the County Health
office is cooperating in the ef
fort. Pvt. Hite Finishes
