for many months due to a broken
thigh.
“Dear Mom,’’ 'writes Pvt. L. 0.
Gillhcm, Jr., “Now I can tell you
some of the things this battery has
done since we left the states. We
crossed on an English ship; my
bunch was put on anti-aircraft
guard; we were on duty all the
way across to Casablanca. After
landing we were put on walking
guard duty on the docks. One
Arab and three Italian spies were
executed by our sleeping quarters.
•
"After a month of walking
guard We were two weeks on anti
aircraft guard, then we were sent
to Oran, and are still in the Al
gerian area.
“The crossing was rough but I
didn’t get sea sick. I ,like it much
better here than I did in Morocco.
Here we have a Red Cross Service
club to go to, I never saw one in
Casablanca. Whereever we go
there are always Arabs trying to
bum candy, gum and cigarettes.
They aren’t as bad here as they
were in Morocco.
“The weather is getting pretty
hot here. I was in swimming last
Sunday for the first time I have
been able to get in since I have
been in the army.”
The above is an excerpt from a
letter dated May 29.
Monthly Reports
Asked of Farmers
Cruising, mapping, fire line and
truck trail construction and prep
aration of a logging plan for the
recently acquired Nehalem Pio
neer State forest got under way
on June 1. The caterpillar crew
that has been busy at the Wilark
forest during the past winter has
been transferred to Jewell and is
now busy opening access roads in
to the forest. The roads will also
serve as fire lines.
A surveying and mapping crew
has already started its work. The
first objective will be to locate
and cruise a considerable amount
of virgin timber lying near th»
center of the forest, laying out
logging roads in order to tap the
timber and prepare logging plans
for its removal.
This old-growth timber will run
a high percentage of peelers and
is in much demand by the war in
dustries at the present time. It is
intended to sell this just as soon
as preliminary plans are complet
ed.
Farmers who prepare rationed
foods for sale or transfer are re
minded that a monthly report on
OPA form R-1609 is required of
them, to be filed with the local
war price and rationing board
within 15 days of the reporting
period. This is under ration order
