emergency measures are being
planned; someone popped up
with a "prophecy" Involving the
ages of all the Allied leaders
and declares that the war will
end September 7 of this year;
residents of the Table Rock area
are planning how to get rid of
hordes of mosquitoes making
their lives miserable and the
Chamber of Commerce ponders
how to develop and expand the
agricultural Industry of the
county.

Observations
TO
FOR TREATMENT
First Wounded Return While
Assault Waves Still Land
ing on Island Beachheads'
Notes of a hillside farm: And
from first-hand observation, too.
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.

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.
