These and other projects, a supple ment to regular instruction in Medford High school physics classes, have been shown in display cases at the high sclmol in recent weeks. Required of all students, these projects consist of models of physics class room apparatus and research projects. They provide each student a chance to work in special areas of interest independent of the rest of the class but with the supervision of the instructor. This year's projects have in cluded papers on various topics, and re search on electric charges, batteries, con duction in liquids, production of electricity from heat and others. Models have been made of hydraulic presses, solar furnaces, and devices to measure depth perception. (Hal Carver Photo) Tokyo welcomed War 11 stragglers who had led Robinson Crusoe existence in the jungles of Guam for 16 years, unable to believe the Japanese had lost the war. Ex-Corporal Bunzo Minaga- wa, 40, and ex-Sergeant Masa shi Ito, 39, landed at the huge U.S. air base at Tachikawa, outside Tokyo, Saturday aft ernoon aboard an American DC-6 transport plane from Guam. Dozens of relatives and home town friends shouted "welcome home'' as the two former imperial army soldiers stepped off the plane. The men were so elated at first that they could not put their happiness in words. Appearing at a news con ference later, the veterans told a fantastic tale of living for 16 years the life of wild men in a small jungle area a few miles from native villages and U.S. bases. "We counted the days put ting marks of the trees," Ito said, adding that according to their reckoning they spent 19 years, not 16, on Guam. But they miscalculated the il'Pli - Japan today after they were shipped there home two World i along with some 20.000 other soldiers in 1944. Only about 600 of that number returned after the war. The rest were killed in action or died of dis ease or malnutrition. Ito said that after he went into the jungles along with Minagawa and Tetsuo Umino, a companion who died later, "We gradually became aware that Japan was losing the war in this part of the world, since we never saw friendly planes. He added, however, that "we never came to know the defeat of the fatherland it self." Ito, who acted as spokes man for the pair, told news men he never could have held out alone. "I surrendered May 23 after looking for Minagawa for two days in the jungle in vain," he said. "When he call ed out for me to give myself up I did so because without him I could not have sur vived." I The ex-sergeant told news-, men he was sure the Ameri- cans would kill him when he! surrendered. This belief, he number of days on Guam said, was instilled in him at the beginning of the war -that Americans always slaughtered their prisoners. In the jungle, Ito said, there were two ever-present "dan gers" for them - the Ameri cans and the natives. "We had to keep our voices low and always cover up our footsteps," he said. "Some times we had to sleep in the rain without a shelter over our heads." Once, Ito said, a native hunter shot him in the hip. "There was no doctor and it had to heal by itself," he added. The two stragglers brought with them a small box con taining the skull of their companion-in-hiding, Umino, who died of malnutrition six years ago and requested that his bones be taken back to Japan. Two cents out of every Am erican food dollar goes for carbonated beverages.

"When I was an active player," recalls Vitt, "we had small, un padded motormen's gloves with a hole in the center. If I had had the use of those big 'basket gloves' they use today I. don't think I'd have made an error in an entire sea son. And those slick, 28 ounce bats they swing now! Zowie! They en able batters to get lots of extra hits. They also break like matchsticks. Hang the expense! In my day clubs couldn't afford to have all those bats broken. I weighed 135 pounds and had to swing a 42-ounce bat. Babe Ruth's weighed 52. You had to be a real man to get one of those bludgeons around!"
