"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.

other massive raid against Stet-
tin out in front This post Is
,an honor they don't dish out of

the target, a bomber raid Is a
J bust. And often the leading
bombardier must do the aiming

Charley Hudson has proved

we heard he had 23 missions
undei bis belt. He holds the
'Distinguished Service Cross, the
Purple Heart, the Distinguished

clusters, the Air Medal with

'' We don't mean to suggest
'that all our 7,226 service peo

a division can match this reo

front show that with Major

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

Investiture Held
The Rev. Thomas Hamilton
conducted a Girl Scout investi
ture recently at the Sacred Heart
church. This ceremony, held in
the atmosphere of the church
with friends and relatives pres
ent, was most impressive. It is
one thing for a girl to know
the Ideals and standards cf
Scoutnig and to know in her
own heart that she has lived up
to them; and it Is something
much greater for her to pledge
herself publicly to these ideals
and to have her achievements
recognized In the -presence of
those who know her. The
Brownie and the Intermediate
Scouts, as well as their leaders,
are all members of Sacred Heart
parish.-
Brownie Scouts Invested were
Patricia "Freeburger, Dolores
Jordan, Rosemarie Roemer,
