Fuller Wounded in Tank Battle on African Front; Details On Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fuller, of 2252 Vine street, received a telegram from the war department announcing that their son Raymond, who is a tank driver with the Ameri can forces in North Africa, had been wounded in action, but the telegram brought no shock of surprise as the day before they had received a letter from Ray mond himself telling of his wound and adding interesting details of the action in which it occurred. His tank, he writes, bad been put out of action by three hits from a German 88 millimeter gun, along with the tank next to it, and his wound was re ceived while he was trying to save his assistant driver, who had been wounded while cross ing a field after they had left the tank. He says: "I am still alive and feeling pretty good, but a bit shot up. On December 28 we ran into more than we could handle. They hit my tank three times with 88 m.m. high explosive shells before it was stopped, and we naa to leave it. "They got Vam Oss' tank at the same time. We aot awav from the tanks, but one of his crew and one of my crew didn't make it across a field to cover and the Germans kept snooting at them and they were still alive and hollering for us, so we went back after them. I got about 20 yards from a hole dragging my assistant driver. He has 12 machine gun holes in him, but he's here at the hos pital and will recover. I got it wnangr whang!' one in the arm and one in the stomach but it didn't knock me down or hurt much, so I got my as sistant to the hole where they couldn't shoot him, and then 1920: Stock broker in Shqngfiai. the Jop invadett. i! - ' 1911: Helped owrtloMaTehu dynasty as.

S. soon to ask more war aid, has been China's top militarist since the middle 1020's. Against Japanj since that Invader struck in 1931 and. again in 1937, he played a give and retreat game, frequently striking back fiercely after China liad the trained men and equipment to do so. General Chiang is ruthless against foes of the state, often blunt with confreres. Madame Chiang, herself now in the U. S. for .medical treatment; influences him greatly and takes an active part in civil and military affairs. Chiang is 56, weighs 160 pounds, is 8 feet 10 inches tall, and is wiry, and soldierly in bearta..-- of Action Told we took off on foot. Van Oss got back to the hole o.k. We walked and crawled through the brush for about 1 M miles where we met a British reconnaissance car and they took us back to our outfit. It was shrapnel from an 88 m.m. high explosive shell that hit me. It turned out that the hit in the arm took a piece of flesh out of my upper left arm about the size of a woman's fist, and the one in my stomach had hit the ammunition clip in my pistol belt and had imbed ded itself in the ammunition, so all I had . on my stomach was a bruise. According to the doctors, I'll have a scar about the size of an egg on my arm, but it will be o.k., and I'll be back on the front in about a month."

A salvage depot for Klam ath county is to be announced soon, and an appeal is being made by the government to all patriotic homemukers to save every tin can, according to Win nifred K. Gillen, home demon stration agent. , It is necessary to collect 36, 000 pounds of tin cans, which is a carload, before they can be shipped out of Klamath Falls; and it takes about, 9000 cans to weigh one ton. To prepare the tin cans for collection, they should be wash ed, both ends removed, label re moved, and stepped on firmly with full 'weight.. Every house hold should have a large box of collapsed tin cans ready for col lection, Mrs. Gillen said. At the reclaiming plants where the cans will be sent the cans pass through large tanks which wash, remove lacquer, re- wasn, ana go into the de-tinning tanks. By an electrical process the tin is removed and poured into 100 pound blocks to be used in making vital - war weapons. 12-Inch Snowfall Officially Recorded Here for Last Week Just a week ago today.
