The guys who bucked the waves with the great old lady of the seas, the aircraft carrier Hornt, uie coming back to honor her again. Come June 3, many of the boys who had the ship will gather here in a second an nual reunion. Hero of the occasion will be Donald Clark of Billings. Mont., who will return as an tUrmaD Nichols unfit sea man. He lost his legs in a freak acci dent aboard the vessel. Don. a swell guy, deserves all the bene fits he got. Uncle Sam kicked in with the usual and the lads aboard did the rest. With small change they built up a kitty that amounts so something like $25,000. Don's on crutches now, but he is making out. He's not complain ing. The day Don got his there was no complaining. The lad was just doing his job. A U. S. plane was coming into the flight deck for a landing. One of the bombs was dangling. The ship landed and the alert Clark rushed over to see if he could pitch the bomb over the side. He didn't make it. The bomb nicked a cable and went off. But to bring this up to date. Too Many Men All told, some 7,000 men served on the Hornet at one time or another. The navy haxn't the facilities to keep track of all of them. Only about 700 of them have written their intentions of attending the hoe-down. The rest are around some place, but don't know about the reunion. Here are the details. A pretty little girl named Bet ty O'Hara is handling the promo tion for the reunloners. She promises that during the one day convention there will be no speeches. All of the entertain ment at the reception and party will be provided by the men who rode old lady Hornet through 150,000 miles of the hell that was the war in the Pacific. They won't tell about the 1, 270.000 tons of Jap shipping that was sunk or damaged by the fellows who took off from the vessel. Or the 1.410 enemy planes that were brought down. The boys know that story well Some to Sing Those of them who can sing DANCE SAT. NITES!

Don Clark won t kick up much of anything. But he'll be there, kicking in with the applause for his mates. There was no such thing as rank aboard the Hornet, accord ing to the boys who rorio her A commander was as common as a common seaman, and in his work suit looked and acted like one. The fellows, when they get together at these reunions, act that way, too. It's like when the old Hornet set out from Pearl Harbor on March 4, 1944, on a twisting voy age through the Pacific. She struck the first blow for the lib eration of the Philippines. She was the first to hit Tokyo in a full-scale carrier attack. She was the first to hit Yamato. She beat out two typhoons. She was the first to attack the enemy fleet anchored in homeland bases. There was not a stuffed shirt aboard. Very few "aye, aye, sirs." There won't be any at this re union. From captain down, it'll be. "Hyah, mate. How's the old lady."
