Bagnall, district recruiting officer for the Portland district, telling of the progress be ing made by Private Ellis S. Wool ridge, formerly of 958 3rd street, Vernonia, Ore. Private Woolridge enlisted in the United States Army on March 5, 1937, and selected the Philippine Islands as his place of service and the Coast Artillery Corps as his branch. The young soldier reached the Islands on May 1, 1937, and was assigned to Battery “A,” 59th Coast Artillery, at Fort Mills, on the Island of Correeidor, “The Gi braltar of the Pacific.” Upon completion of his recruit training young Woolridge took a competitive examination and suc ceeded in winning himself the pri vilege of attending the Electrical Engineering School which is con ducted annually by the Artillery Engineer of the Post. Upon graduation from this school Private Woolridge was assigned duty with the Telephone Section of the Artillery Engineer’s Department, and immediately transferred to Headquarters Battery of the 59th Coast Artillery. The letter which Major Bagnall received was written by Lieut. Paul a Roy, Commanding Officer of the Hq. Battery, and stated that Private Woolridge was proving himself to be a very trust worthy and efficient soldier. The Island of Corregidor is one 'f the most interesting spots for the ntire United States Army. By its shore pass ships of almost every maritime nation on earth. The post maintains its own moving picture theatre, gymnasiums, department stores, schools for both military personnel and dependents, and a steamboat line to and from Manila. Here also is located one of the most powerful radio stations in the world, often sending and receiving mes sages directly to and from Wash ington, D. C., or half around the world. The tiny isle of only four square miles is home to approxi mately 4,000 soldiers, and a total population of 13,000 people. In ziew of all these interesting facts it is not at all surprising that Private Woolridge likes his present assignment, the major says. increasing pay have experienced lenewi (Omitted Last Week) TREHARNE— (Special to the Eagle)— Mr. and Mrs. T.

The 1938 Oregon stickers show a view of Crater Lake, with the non resident registration blank printed on the reverse.
