Thursday, August 19, 1943 6 Those Who Are In It ENTERS ARMY AIR CORPS George A. Johns, formerly a resident and high school student of Vernonia, has enlisted in the army air corps and is at Beloit college, Beloit, Wisconsin. From there he goes to Santa Ana, Cal ifornia for pre-flight training as a pitot. WORKMAN SHOOTS WELL Pvt. Robert Workman, now at Boise Barracks, Idaho, writes his mother, Mrs. Walter Workman, of the Rocking W ranch as follows: “Well, I made expert rifleman with 183 x 200, five points more than I needed. Two other men, both in Company D, and I tied for first place in the entire rifle class of about 350 men. I feel pretty good about it. “I was also one of three men to receive a quarter from the as sistant director of training, Capt. Reinhart, who was once one of the tep best shots in the U. S. and from my company command er, Lt. Brown, for making a pos sible on the record firing—in my case, ten bulbs out of ten shots at rapid fire, kneeling, 200 yards. I’m sending the quarters home as my first ‘medals’ received. The old worn one in from Cap? tain Reinhart and the other is from my company commander. You may want to keep them, eh?” Private Workman also writes that he has been selected for special training in the engineers, but as that means a year in school, he does not think he will accept, hoping to get into some thing that will bring quicker ac tion. He sends his regards to the men in the Vernonia state guard. AT CAMP ABBOTT Jim Templeton, who was induct ed into the army in the middle of May is at Camp Abbott, Ore gon taking a combat engineer course. He is probably the first from here to be stationed at that Oregon camp. ENGINEER STARTS TRAINING Pfc. Bill Templeton is at the North Dakota State college at Grand Forks and has been there for a month. He is now taking engineer’s training which will re quire from 18 months to 2 years. WRITES ON FOURTH Cleve Robertson, who i? on maneuvers in Louisiana, received a letter from his brother, Vernon, "Lige” Robertson, about a month after it was written—the fourth of July. He wrote from North Af rica: “Three cheers for the red, white and blue. Here we are to see an other fourth of July go by, and I am very happy to be able to write all my folks and friends this day. I am living in hopes by this time next year I can be back in the states with them all to enjoy the next fourth in a dif ferent manner. Today should mean a lot to everyone, and we all can never forget what it Vernonia Eagle means to the American people. With me it’s just another day, closer to the end of this war. I guess the soldiers there in the states are pulling parades all ov er. You are perhaps on one your self. We had a bit of one this morning, went to a regiment for mation and had our division com mander give us a speech. Guess there won’t be any big celebrat ons all over as there usually are on this day of the year. But the most we are interested in right now is getting the Axis smashed and get home. When that day comes we’ll celebrate as any other day The Army & Navy Need ' Altogether there are 40 specif ic changes, most of them of a minor nature, and generally they remove ambiguities in the regu lation’s provisions, with certain adjustments in pricing differen tials. Principal adjustments are Kg fol lows: LUMBER (1) Maximum prices for rough boards are established at the same levels as S4S (surfaced four sides) boards. The ceiling price for 1 by 6 inch No. 1 rough boards in ran dom lengths is established at $27 per 1,000 board feet, with ceilings for other grades and sizes fixed in the normal price relationship. The new prices bring a reduction of $1.50 per 1,000 board feet in the ceilings for rough boards. “This leaves everything still well with me. Same old thing, feeling good, eat, sleep, and have the necessary things I need . . . Always a brother, Lige.” WRITER WRONG Oops! Sorry! Last week, for some unexplainable reason, it was stated in this column that E. H. Washburn is of the coast guard. Skinny is in the navy. Since that same mistake before caused him embarrassement, double apologies are due Skinny and his wife, Lil. And Lil, please don’t blame his mother, Mrs. Dora Washbum! WAACS in Army Sept.l, Lose "A" When, on September 1st, the WAACS drop an A to become the Women’s Army Corps and thus share full membership in the army of the United States they will be entitled to all the privileges and facilities offered male members of the service. LOGGERS & MILLMEN KEEP IT COMING! SU ga H ALLOWANCE RAISED 10 percent increase in indus trial sugar allotments for August, September and October will prob ably allow the local bakery to keep open through the end of each month, but closing each Tuesday is expected to still be necessary.

This brings an increase of $2 per 1,000 board In answer to many queries as to just what these new “army status” privileges for WACS would be, Colonel J. J. Fulmer, Oregon recruiting officer, gave out the following information: As feminine soldiers all enlist ed and commissioned personnel of the women’s army will be entitled to free postage, up to $10,000 worth of National Service life in surance, actual operations duties for officers, additional pay for overseas service, 30 days leave or furlough a year. complete clothing issue for enlisted women and a $250.00 clothing allowance for officers, same rank and grade as men, Army Emergency Relief, and a much wider variety of in teresting non-combat assignments. r/ne Got a Home, too (Mister/ Every extra f BOND you buy through \ - [the Payroll savings Plan ) ‘ 1 will help me qet back to it/ Figure it out 1 .H im , U.S 1 »euiM»> feet on this cover grade in di mension lumber only. (3) The charge for bundling is limited to boards and dimension lumber. This charge is $1 per 1,000 board feet. Previously such charg es were applicable to all bundl ing, including bundling for which the industry customarily never made a charge. OPA said it was never its intention that the bundl ing charge be applicable to all bundling. rfowever, a premium ranging up to $2.50 per 1,000 board feet on the upper grades of rough boards and up to $1 on No. 3 rough boards is provided where the pur chase is made by the central pro curement agency and that agency certifies that rough boards are re quired to the exclusion of dressed boards'and where the war produc tion board certifies that the mill furnishing the rough boards is operating under WPB circular No. 31.
