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.
