OREGON Regional Roundup by Cleve Twltchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor The week before last, a movie called "No Man Is An Grants Pass. We had planned to run a story by Priscilla Island" played In Medford for four days. It is based on the actual wartime experiences of a man who now lives In Averill, our Grants Pass correspondent, in conjunction with the film's appearance locally, but the movie opened with so little advance warning and closed so quickly that the best we were able to do was to run a photograph of the man and his family a week ago last Friday. The story is an interesting one, however, and the film will undoubtedly be shown elsewhere in the valley some time in the future, so here is Mrs. Averill's report: "The real life George Tweed, whose one-man war with the Japanese during their occupation of Guam is the sub ject of the film 'No Man Is An Island,' almost became a resident of Medford when he retired from the Navy after a spectacular career which included events depicted in the movie. & -A. LOOK OVER PHOTOS George Tweed and his son, George Jr. look over photos taken by the U.S. Navy after Tweed's rescue from Guam in 1944. "Tweed, now a comfortably settled family man and businessman in Grants Pass, said he left his native Port land in 1922 to 'join the Navy and see the world.' By the end of his 25-year hitch, capped by a war all his own on Guam, he had seen enough of the world to know that he wanted to come back and settle in Oregon. He started out from Washington, D.C., with his wife, Dolores, and two small children and headed for the Rogue River valley 'be cause I remembered its climate was better than the rest of Oregon.' Found What He Wanted in Grants Pass " 'We kept going west until we got to Medford,' he re called, 'Then we spent two weeks there hounding real estate agents to find us exactly what we wanted. One day we decided to go for a drive toward the Willamette valley. After spending the first night in Grants Pass, however, we got no further because here, we suddenly knew, was the place we'd been looking for.' "The Tweeds now live in a comfortable white frame house on Redwood ave., just southwest of the city, with a horse, a dog, two Siamese cats, and various other livestock belonging to son George, Jr., 16, and daughter Lolly, 15, both students at Grants Pass High school. Behind the house sits another building housing Tweed's TV shop, where he puts to good use his electronics skill gained as a Navy radioman. "Thus, the same abilities which gained him a death sen tence from the Japanese 25 years ago are the ones with which he earns his livelihood today. Among the handful of American survivors who escaped to the bush when the Japanese occupied Guam in the early days of World War II, Tweed was considered the most dangerous because as a radioman he possessed skills which might enable him to communicate with the outside. Therefore, the price on his head was highest of all. Ironically, after 10 months all the other American survivors had been captured and killed, and Tweed alone remained. It was to be almost two years later before the Americans returned and he swam out to be rescued by the startled crew of an American destroyer. Boyhood Trips Helped Out Later "A knowledge of the woods gained during his Oregon boyhood hunting trips in the hills around Winona he cred its with helping to keep him alive in the bush and one jump ahead of his pursuers. " 'It would not have been possible for me to exist that long alone, however,' he added, 'without the help of the wonderful Guamanians who brought me food and sus tenance in my various hideouts. That is where the title of the movie comes in.' " 'No Man Is An Island,' he mused. 'It means that . . . No matter how alone a man may be, his existence is never completely independent of all others. We need each other. I needed the Guamanians in order to exist alone during the occupation; and, strangely enough, they needed me. They felt that, as long as I remained alive, fighting for my freedom, 1 was sure that the Americans would one day be returning to the Island. This made them also sure, and held out hope for a better future." " Diphtheria, Tetanus Shots Scheduled at CP Schools Central Point - The Jack son County Health depart ment will offer diphtheria and tetanus immunization shots at Central Point Elementary and Junior High schools Wednes day. Parents may have this im munization for their child by signing the request form sent home by the school and re turning it to the school via the student. Students who have received the series in the past will re ceive only the booster shot. A student who has never re ceived any immunization will receive two shots. The same immunizations will be offered Thursday at Crater High school. On Friday at Crater, the .tnnual Christmas assembly will be held, sponsored by the ttudent council. Following the basketball name Friday night, the Con stellations will hold their an nual dance, in the multipur pose room. School dismissal will take place at Crater Friday.
