SIX MEDFOHD (OREGOH) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, June 2, I9S0 Pickin' Pears News, Qossip, Comment From Camp White By L. J. "Tick" Malark.y So many darn nice tilings had been said about the young iel low who is running Fichtner's garage this was a guy we ought to know. For instance, a mem ber of company A, where the fel lows don t always track so not, "We can bake 100 loaves of bread a day in our ovens here, In the meantime we are gettins the rest of our bread from Rose- burg. This is the way the bak er's strike hits out here. Hot bis cuits and corn bread are comin along to reinforce the situation missed his bus and another one i And the boys all want some of wouldn't be alone for hours. "Come on, I'll take you out," said Warren Fitchner. Fitchner spent 37 months down under in the south Pacific with the 41st division, slugging it out most of this time with the Japs. Kid War ren was a foot soldier one who marched with the thumping, bumping, tramping infantry. He has a lot of "lettuce," too, on the old uniform. Medals of one kind and another, and a pur ple heart. Pretty nearly lost his rieht arm in June. 1944. when a slug tore through just above the elbow and gangrene set in. The doctors fixed him up and he ' went back into combat and was lucky the rest of the trip. Wife Gloria and he have a sprout by the name of Wallace, going on three. In addition to running Fitchner's garage he is commander of the Medford post, Veterans of Foreign Wars. "Make this your home anytime you are over town," was the way he said s'long. Frances Flynn Her maiden name used to be Perry and whose brother is Manager Allen Perry of the U. S. National bank. Vera Humphrey made the introduction after the Junior Red Cross had put on a splendid birthday party for 46 of the members whose birthdays came in May. The fes tivities were held out of doors in the plot now known as "Sears Half Acre." I Frances Perry Flynn grad uated from Oregon in 1925, and is proud of the fact that she is a grandma now. Lives in town, but there is a peach aiui pear or chard out Jacksonville way. We talked about Mary Cellars f'hipps, Uolph s wife, and a lot of the other girls that were on the campus when the war drums began to beat in 17. It was fun to go down "memory lane" while the remains of the Red Cross party were getting put away. Charlie Paschal, company 1, member of Camp White. The ex-marine is a "re-tread" of the corps. Was doing a hitch when WW I got into production and in the St. Mihiel drive in 1918. the shell that took the lives of 18 of his buddies broke his jaw and for him the war was over. For 15 years Charlie count ed the time until they called him back after Pearl Harbor. A medi cal discharge ended his WW II hitch. He followed railroading until a year ago, leaving the job only after he was physically un able to hold up his end of the load. So to the plnins of White came the leatherneck. We went to feed his pair of Angora cats. They make their nome about a mile from the sta tion In some abandoned heHting boilers some one bought from the army and left across the road from the station entrance. Seems that "Jeff the Pros pector" found this pair of kit tens starving in one of the vacant buildings where they had been forgotten by the former tenant. He broke a window, got them out and began to feed them. "Jeff" went to the hills to again search for ore and Charlie inherited the kittens. They are full grown now. Tom will weigh 15 pounds: Mom a lot smaller. Twice a day they are fed and watered and will have noth ing to do with company when Charlie brings friends to what he calls "Operation Cats." "I just don't like to see help less animals go hmiRry, he said. Maybe feeding them is my hobby. I know what it is like to be hun gry I've been that way a time or two myself. Quite a bit of friend Paschal's pension money goes to fancy food for his two pets and if he gets well enough to go back to rainroading It is a safe bet that Tom and Mom will go with him. Today they are contented cats the old leatherneck gunner ser geant sees to that. that homemade bread out of Camp Whites ovens. Foots Creek Foots Creek. June 2 Mrs. L J.
