Veterans Recall Christmas in Foreign Lands During Service By JIM GILLAN Mail Tribunt Correspondent That newspaper man's dream of owning his country weekly with the accompany ing independence and status maybe is just a dream. In the oil country along the Canadian border of Mon tana, it was tried and the awakening was sharp and somewhat shocking. The competition was tough, good and the publisher had been overly blessed with oil money. But he cared little for competition. He badgered the advertisers and frightened some to the point which Mica in wmiarawdi uum uic featnere(j iiai Dea, convened nana oper-1 ated press which required the know-how of an Indian boy named Dingy who was a part of the other struggling weekly newspaper. It was news even when the paper was out on time. The elder, rich publisher met the younger, struggling publisher on the main street one day following the holiday season and asked him if he still believed in Santa Claus. And the reply was, "Sure, Dan, we'd all crack up if we didn't." He was silent a few seconds and admitted, "I guess you're right. I watched these skies for 25 years praying for rain as a homesteader." The rains came, too, and so did a prosperous newspaper and oil royalties and invest ments. He believed! And now, here in the Rogue valley, surrounded by dis abled veterans who have wit nessed Christmas around the world as well as in the var ious sections of the nation, it is found they, too, still be lieve. Herb Cooley, retired United States Marine, with fabled China duty, remembers one. Christmas at Peking "One Christmas dawn at Peking." Cooley says, "the Tartar Wall - the opposite of the Berlin Wall of our times, built to keep enemies out, not nationals in - echosed the early hours with Christmas carols sung by children of the many international legations . . . A dust storm blown from the Gobi desert had just lull ed, leaving a brownish - red topping on the thin layer of recent snow . . . The Yuleiitle chants brought wistful and wishful 'home-side memories! pigs for a dinner which was i a to become famous on that far island. Some of the officers demanded a share. Schick ex plained that "borrowing" birds was a careful business because to Legation Marines and then the Chamarrons or Guama the chanters withdrew for other legations leaving be lieving footprints in the Gobi's topping decorations." Or there's Ray Schick, Ma rine, who recalls the 1018 Christmas on Guam, our Pa cific outpost which was to be occupied by the Japanese dur ing World War II. On guard duty, Schick and his squad raided the native livestock and tied nians had learned the hard way that they must keep the livestock close at hand and even then lost pigs tied with in 10 feet of their sleeping heads. But they believe, too. The United States came back and Guam is a bustling, busy island brought into the 20th century with a non-military government, Cadillacs, new homes, banks, super markets nd Santa Llaus again Christmas. Tnere are many like Victor Buck, who spent about 16 years in the Congo as a tech nical missionary; veterans of the Spanish American War in Cuba and the Philippines: members of the expeditionary forces which went into Si beria following World War I and some' Korean veterans who wrote our latest chapter of conflict in Asia. And then there's Vincent Flores or "Benny'' as he's known to his disabled veteran clientele when he operates the barber shop at the Veterans Administration domiciliary. this i He and his brother, Man- I uel, who Is also a c'vil service employee, are natives of Guam. Their uncle, who died about 1958, played a large hand in the hiding and caring for of Grants Pass' George Tweed, one man Army against the Japanese on Guam. For some time, he lived next door to the Flores family. The uncle was badly beaten by the Japanese who suspected him of hiding Tweed. Vincenle Flores tells of the young priest, Fath?r Duenas, who was executed by the Jap anese for his part in the Tweed saga, and of Father Calvo, alive now and who was ordained at Manila following the Japanese occupation. Vincente's children, Luana, 9, Vincente John, 8, twins Manuel and Michael, 6, and Jene, 4'i, know different Christmas holidays than their father or uncle, Manuel. Another brother and sister of the Flores family still re side at Guam and recently survived the recent typhoon. Vincente has been at White City since 1955. He and his wife, Juanita, and the chil dren reside in Medford. He served with the American Army in Germany and mar ried at Reno.
