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.
