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.
Incumbent Quits In Massachusetts
Boston -ilIPIl- Republican in
cumbent John A. Volpe con
ceded defeat today to Demo
crat Endicott Peabody In
in Massachusetts' long-count
gubernatorial race.
Volpe called off a recount
of ballots case in the Nov. 6
election. Peabody is the win
ner by more than 5,000 votes.
The governor said he was
halting his recheck of the
Boston vote and had sent
Peabody a telegram of con
gratulations. Peabody, Harvard's last All
America football player, will
take office Jan. 3. Volpe,
owner of a Massachusetts
construction company, had
served one term in office.
The election was closest in
Massachusetts in modern
times.
