Word was received this week
from Major H. D. 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.

New guest stickers which non
resident motorists will carry on
their windshields while traveling in
Oregon in 1938 have Seen printed
and will be available for use Janu
ary 1st, Secretary of State Earl
Snell announced today.
The stickers, attractively repro
duced in two colors, will accompany
a triplicate form which not only
is more economical than the for
mer system of registration but also
will speed up work both in issuing
stations and in the home office in
Salem, Snell declared.
The “Guest of Oregon” idea, in
augurated by Secretary Snell a
vear ago has proved popular and is
being used in California also this
year.
The 1938 Oregon stickers show a
view of Crater Lake, with the non
resident registration blank printed
on the reverse. During 1937 mose
than 150,000 out-of-state motorists
will have registered to set a new
ill-time record, according to Snell.
