Drill Team Wins
In 1934 the Central Point
Grange drill team won first prize
in a contest at the state Grange
convention at Roseburg. Early in
1935 new velvet curtains were
purchased for the stage. A col
lection of $60 was made in 1938
to help in sending an infantile
paralysis victim to Warm Sppng,
Ga., for treatment.
A resolution that proper gov
ernmental and private authori
ties be urged to take action to
prohibit shipment of scrap iron
to Japan was sent to congres
sional representatives by the
Central Point Grange in 1939.
Mortgage Burned
On Dec. 20, 1940, Worthy
State Master Ray Gill burned the
mortgage on the hall with all
past masters present. An amend'
ment to the by-iaws was made
in 1943 giving honorary mem
berships to all members reach
ing 80 years of age. Parties were
given for soldiers of Camp White
and letters were written to
Grange members in the armed
forces. On April 16, 1943, a serv
ice flag was dedicated to mem
bers in the armed forces. The
following year saw organization
of the Juvenile Grange and the
lot next to the Grange hall was
purchased from the city.
Last year a new ceiling was
placed in the hall, paid for with
funds from dances and contri
butions. Servicemen' 8 Paper

VETS FORGOTTEN
DOVER DECLARES
P.
T
Central Point, Feb. 20 "The
home folks have fallen down on
the job where World War II vet
erans are concerned," Floyd K
Dover, of Grants Pass, member
of the state advisory committee
on veterans affairs, told a group
of veterans meeting last Sunday
in Central Point. Dover declared
that throughout the war years
a lot of big shot planning com
missions promised great things
for the veterans, but those plans
have come to nothing.
"The result Is that thousands
of veterans In Oregon," he said,
"have no jobs and no homes."
He declared he had seen many
veterans and their wives "roam
ing the streets in Portland be
cause they had no place to go,
and that many were getting lodg
ing in Jails." '
Dover also said that those in
charge of veterans' affairs have
not cooperated with the United
States Employment Service, and
that'this service is in a position
to, and Is placing many men in
positions every day. He declared
he has asked the advisory com
mittee to hold a meeting as soon
as Hugh Rosson, state director
of veteran affairs, returns from
Washington, D. C.
Figures can lie and sometimes
do. The present up-swing in di
vorces Is one such instance. The
general assumption that this in
dicates a recent break-down in
marital life i.i, as are most as
sumptions, not entirely correct.
A lot of these newly-obtained di
vorces are bul the outward and
visible evidence of a longstand
ing separation.
For divorces cost money. In
rank-and-file terms, they cost a
lot of money. So a couple may
have lived separate lives over
a period of years, yet have been
unable to raise the funds neces-
snry to make that separation
legal. They may. paradoxical
though It seems, have lived to
gether in separate worlds.
Then came the recent econo
mic prosperity and with it the
means to bring that long stand
ing divorce out into the open.
"Divorce" isn't some words on
a paper. A divorce is a cleaving
of hearts and minds the reality
of which a legally worded de
cree does not increase. Indeed
there is much evidence that It
draws a couple together, as the
not Infrequent remarriages of
the same people is full witness.
Such people never were divorc
ed; not even a decree could
bring tills about.
One woman whose opinion I
have learned to value through
the years has still another ex

planation of the increased rate
of divorce. She says people have
an increasing honesty. In other
years, a man and his wife may
have lived together for years in
what was really a little hell on
earth. The boy and girl who
married had little in common
with the man and woman they
grew to be; a man and woman
who never would have married
They realized this; realized that
each brought out the worst in
the other. To the world, they
were never d'vorced. But they
knew. Lacking present day hon
esty, they dragged out the weary
years, their home life a travesty
of what it could have, should
have, been. So now there is this
new honesty, which faces con
ditions squarely, realistically,
and acts accordingly. I am not
justifying divorce; only setting
down an "on the other hand

Once I told you of the couple

ceremony was a travesty

So it would seem that the
words of either the divorce de
cree or the golden wedding cere
mony mean little. It s hearts that
count. Hearts have to be trump,
if you are to win.

96th Division Holds Record
For Jap Deaths In One Day
The 96th (Dead-Eye) Infantry
Division, work-horse outfit of
the Philippines and Okinawa
campaign, ended World War II
with a record of probably 'killing
more enemy per day than any
division in U. S. Army history. ,
Led by Maj. Gen. James Brad
ley, Rolla, Mo., whose own ex
pert marksmanship typified the
skill that won the division its
nickname, the 96th's Midwest
and Southwest GIs slogged
through some of the bitterest
fighting of the Pacific with lit
tle public recognition of their
record.
Such designations as "the
feet infantry division," the
est exponents of "alley-fighting
in modern war," and "the best
damned bunch of fighters since
the Alamo" describe the 96th.
Grenades Their Specialty
Jradley is characterized by
24th Corps staff officers as "one
of the most human general offi
cers . in the Army." He was
largely responsible for the 96th's
envious combat record. Under
his command, his men learned
to be experts with a rifle. But
their skill with hand grenades
earned them fame for in-fighting
tactics on Okinawa.
"I never saw a bunch of sol
diers who liked to fight with
hand grenades so well," one
Army observer reported to the
24th Corps. "One or two com
panies in every regiment did
nothing but carry hand grenades
for the others. When those boys
opened up with grenades, it
looked like the whole hillside
was blowing up."
On Okinawa, Bradley gained
a reputation for getting a maxi
mum number of troops where
they could do the most good
on the front line. '
Sure of His Men
"He didn't know what it
meant to have a reserve," one of
his regiment commanders re
ported. "His division was made
up of three of the finest regi
ments in the Army and the gen
eral knew it. He gave the orders
and didn't worry about them do
ing the fighting."
Bradley was not one to throw
his men onto the casualty list
unnecessarily. But the tough en
gagements the 9 6th fought
through took a toll of 94 per
cent enlisted men and 120 per

cent officer casualties killed or
wounded on Okinawa, the
bloodiest campaign of the Pa
cific war. ,
Bradley drew outstanding of
ficers to the 96th. Such men as
Brig. Gen. "Spec" Easley, assist
ant commanding general of the
division and one of the world's
finest rifle shots, passed their
own knowledge and training on
to the foot soldiers. Easley, first
casualty among general officers
in the Philippines, died in the
front lines manning a machine
gun.
Another was Col. Macy Dill,
Arkadclphia, Ark., a regimental
commander and legendary fig
ure in the Pacific. Dill honestly
believed no Japanese bullet
could touch him. He invited the
enemy by constantly carrying a
white swagger stick and refusing
to take cover except un'der the
heaviest bombardment.
Grim Action on Leyte
The 96th took "Conical Hill"
on Okinawa to roll back the east
anchor of the main Japanese de
fense line. Their landing beach
was the only one under fire dur
ing the Okinawa invasion. In the
final stages of .the island fight,
the 96th marked up a record or
near-record for a single day's
hunting more than 1,800 Japa
nese were killed on the Yaezu
Dake escarpment.
In the Philippines, the divi
sion's work was in -support of
other outfits. But their casualty
report about 1,800 killed and
8,000 wounded was the highest
of the 24th Corps on Leyte, a
grim indication of the type of
action the 96th drew.
The Dead-eye Division" com
manding general knew what
type of men he had with him.
His men knew him best when
Bradley humorously reported
from the muddy Okinawa front:
Elements on forward slopes
slid forward. Elements on re
verse slope slid backward."

The clergyman and his wife
