EUGENE D. HAYES Ten invasions in a year of rugged campaigning against Japanese bastions in the South Pacific is the fighting record compiled by the USS LSM 40, a landing ship medium, of which Ensign Eugene D. Hayes, 724 Alder street, Medford, is com missary and ship's service of ficer. Ensign Hayes is the husband of Mrs. Evelyn Hayes and the son of Mr. and Mrs. O. V. Hayes, all of whom reside at the Med ford address. He joined the com plement of the LSM 40 before it left the States in September, 1944. The "40" got its baptism of air raids at Morotai and took part in most of the "Philippine landings, including Bataan and bloody Ormoc, in Leyte, and made its tenth beachhead on Balikpapan in Borneo, just six weeks before Japan began begging for peace. 1 rvwr, B Z WW uuve tv s-j v Barber's $&5 Letter lSLU I was doing the weekly laun dry when the near-elderly gentle man entered the yard. He had, he announced, come for a visit. We were no end pleased but I knew my husband shared my own consternation as to how we were going to add any lengthy visiting to our already over crowded schedule. Some of this must have shown in our faces for the man said, "Now you folks ,so right on with your work and I will work with you. Right now I'll help you hang up the washing." So he held the sheets while I pinned them to the line. He handed me the smaller pieces, item by item. Then we came to certain more private garments. I hadn't blushed for 30 years, but I did then. Not because those garments were pink silk, but because it had taken so much pink silk for each one. This generosity inferred an ex pansiveness my outer garments more or less camouflage. But just the same, we did get in quite a lot of visiting. Much more than was accomplished while the guest picked a tub of fruit from the topmost branches of the Damson plum trees. With but one ladder, it was a solitary job. Visiting also languished while he fixed an ailing tractor, due to the roar of the logging operations thereabouts. After three days of splitting wood while I worked in Scribble Shack and doing the chores while the head of the house painted a truck cab, he said he must go home. But by this time he was so popular, we couldn't bear to part with him. In fact we felt it would take well into November to get all our visiting done. Did he know anything about repairing defunct electri cal units? The hot-plate had a burned out element. So he visit ed with that for a while. Then the gears in the wringer hnd separator seemed a little off. These provided the visitor witVi a one-way topic for half a day. We had other conversational resources but this morning the guest said he truly must leave. We regretted this. There still remained such little matters to be discussed as the missing rung in the ladder, the leaky faucet m the bathroom and the genera tor in the pickup needed debat ing. But he still insisted he Pad o go; said he seemed to be about talked out. I do not believe he is the talker he used to be; seemed to me he walked with a slight wobble when he left. But I sure like that man's conversation and hope he comes again soon. Medtofi Students' Members of Band At U. of Oregon University of Oregon.
