Never was so much observation crowded into three days before and it seemed to me that never before had the cherries on the trees in the back yard been so red; never had the Dorothy Per kins rose vine been so heavy with bloom. Romeo, the bantam rooster, perched in the walnut tree and crowed with the old time arrogance. Familiar, too, was the fact that the cow had gone to visit the neighbors. Not familiar, however, were the new built-ins in the little farm kitchen, or the cute little cupboards over the sink, all with blue handles. A blue patterned linoleum, too, "and if you'd not come for another week, the black mopboards would have been in place," pouted Frank. "You should have told the Democrats to postpone their con vention," I told him. "And if they hadn't held out for Wallace as long as they did, I'd not be here now," for I could be absent only for the duration of the Chicago melee. Frank and I have always had hard work finding each other, no matter how carefully we planned a time and place for meeting. With no time or place named, the situation was worse than ever. I was told he had Just left with a truck load of logging equipment for camp some 20 miles up In the hills A radio call brought no results save reports as to where various persons had seen him headed south In more than his usual hurry. Not until I'd been In town 24 of the pre cious 60 hours I had to spend did we locate each other. How I found him? Driving along the street with a friend, I saw the dirtiest car I'd ever seen before. "Stop." I shrieked. Only a Barber car could look like that." Sure enough, it was our car. That night we went to the Pumpkin Rollers' Ball and it was like old times again. Our "Ball" Is not what the term Im plies. We have potluck dinner, visit, sing: a few play pinochle. Some of the old crowd were missing due to war and war In dustry. There was a new baby; the women compared canning rec ords: out of courtesy to me. they sang old time songs, not realizing I'd had the latest tunes dally dinned Into my ears from the omnipresent Juke boxes of the city; or perhaps they did renlize this and those Inst year's songs were given me as a relief. I liked It thnt they assumed my own experiences were of sec ondary Importance To them. I'd been a-vny from the neighbor hood and for that time I'd missed out on real living My henrt was In full agreement. By Charles P. Arnot United Press War Correspondent Aboard U. S. Flagship Off Guam. July 21 (UP.) Sailors and officers crowded along the rails as the first wounded from Guam came aboard. They gazed at the blood-soaked figures with mingled curiosity and sympathy. The wounded were hoisted up to the main deck on stretchers by means of ropes and pulleys, then rushed to the operating room In the nearby "sick bay" for emergency treat ment. Hit In Legs The first casualty-laden land ing boat came alongside while waves of assault troops still were hitting the Guam beachhead. As it approached, one of the boat's crew kept passing his hand across his legs like a football referee signalling a "clipping" penalty. The doctors on deck knew immediately that the cas ualties on the bottom of the ismall boat had been hit In the legs. .... If casualties have not already 1 Kon reatpH t the emergency aid station on the beach, they generally are given morphine and plasma as soon as they are hrnoeht aboard. Surgery usually is necessary when a man is wounded seriously enough to be rushed Dut td a transport. It is not ainicuit 10 spui a boat carrying casualties. The very expressions on the faces of the boat crews tell the story. The coxswain is nervous, his eyes anxiously sweep the decks of the ship for someone to whom he can give his emergency signal. Ninety-nine per cent of the casualties never let out a whimper. They lie quietly in the bottoms of the boats, and if con scious, their faces wear expres sions of surprise ana aisDeuei. Most fighting men seem to think it can happen only to the other fellow; when actually wounded In battle, most of them seem genuinely surprised. Fight For Llife One of the marines brought aboard this ship lay on his side quietly, smoking a cigarette. The other stared into space with wide open eyes that seemed to see nothing. The flesh of his right leg had almost been torn away from the bony, and the rest of his leg had to be amputated. He died a few hours later his eyes still open. The wounded fight desperate ly for life until the very last. To day a medical coipsman lived for hours after doctors had given up hope. He had landed with the first wave and had been hit in the ' tnmnlo hv a machine ffUn bullet. !The 30-caliber slug passed through his head, ripping ui both eyes and taking part of the brain. He never regained conscious ness, but he outlived by several hours two companions who had been given 50-50 chances for re covery. NO WASHING Everett, Wash. -(U.P.) Because he believes a woman's place Is in the home, Pfc. Frank Cosentino, Jr., of Everett hasn't done fc' own laundry in six months i;x Italy. "I just turn it over to one of the women every washday , and she's glad to do it in ex- J change for army rations," ho writes.
