IrWO MEDfORD MAIL TRIBUrTE - - Monday, If or. 17, 144 1 Ke "Struck Oil" on Gerlin! It'i a safe guess Charley Hud son never expected to see Berlin. ' He had an oilman's job on a rotary drill crew in the Taft oil ; fields in California. Some Taft wells are deep. But you can't look down one and see Berlin. Shucks, you can't even see China, ... But Major Charles S. Hudson one of 7,226 Standard Oiler now In the service has seen j- Berlin. Through a bomb-sight I ', lie saw it several times from the first plane of bis group, and fin ' .ally as tbi lead bombardier of . ' the entire 8th Air Force. i . That' where he was on an- other massive raid against Stet- tin out in front This post Is ,an honor they don't dish out of ) a hat. Unless those eggs smack the target, a bomber raid Is a J bust. And often the leading bombardier must do the aiming AIM U1UI1Y 'JJMUCI UlUl 1U11UW. Charley Hudson has proved be can smack that targetThe last we heard he had 23 missions undei bis belt. He holds the 'Distinguished Service Cross, the Purple Heart, the Distinguished .Flying Cross and two oak-leaf clusters, the Air Medal with three dusters. '' We don't mean to suggest 'that all our 7,226 service peo ple and that's a good start on a division can match this reo cord. But reports from every front show that with Major ; Hudson they have one thing In ' Before the war, they were trying to do the job at hand, as . well as could be done and to be good citizens. Now, as good citizens In uniform, they're giv ing their best to the job at hand sometimes jo modest place but often in the van, , I (It. wWi S itarfc Wiwtiti e vr Richmond Rtftiwy Dm Uall Tribune Want Ada. 1 1 lfflye oiin TTrfiedl 5 LW J (WriMw ,i; I ' ' I ) f" Av 1 i, (Miff ttmtj "I J' Olive -V 4 Barber'f Observations ' The young Coast Guardsman was, I saw, a one-woman man and that woman was not his mother, wife or daughter! Brazen, that lad! No matter the subject on which we talked, he'd drag in that femme fatale of his. Was It politics? "My best girl Just about explodes every time the present administration Is mentioned!" And that polished off that, so far as he was concerned. Travel? His girl had sure been around! Then he'd enumerate the dangers she'd encountered; the adventures she'd been through. We spoke of how hard every one was working these daya. Well I should see the work G got through! He wished he was where he could help her but he d told everyone In her neigh' borhood what would happen to them if they didn't look after her while he was gone. I should see how neatly she dressed and how bright were her eyes. Perhaps she was a little on the vain aide, was hi tolerantly amused comment. There was no shame In the lad that he thus made 'public the extent of his anamoratlon. "Yes, Grandmother will be 84 her next birthday but she's still the gayest, bravest, most ener getic woman I know. She's been through four wars but say she gists madder this time than she was during the others. Send her oversea and I believe ahe'd choke Adolph with her own bare hands, the spunky , little devil!" His grandmother, he told me, had como across the plains In a covered wagon, drawn by oxen. She'd seen Indian fighting and had had babies with no doctor attending. "She doesn't smoke or drink and doesn't hold her punches, when talking to wom en who do. But she likes candy", and he chuckled.' "I take her some but not too much", ad miring hla own restraint. Every lad on the boat has be come well acquainted with the adored 93 year old. They couldn't help It, with her grand son carrying the torch for her like he does. And no doubt she's all he claim her to be but to me her greatest achievement la that she ha so Impressed her NOTICE Notice Is hereby given that the underlined ha been an. pointed by the County Court of Jacitson County, Oregon, Ad ministratrix of the Estate of Fred G.
