Show I : Hews from Our People In the Armed Services By MABEL JARVIS Stanworth Meets Barnum On I wo Jima Isle HURRICANE (Utah) Beautifying Beautify-ing Iwo Jima is a master project, according to Pfc. Garn Stanworth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stanworth Stan-worth of Hurricane. The military units are making a brave effort to give their quarters the homelike home-like touch, hanging doors to their tents, building picket fences and painting them, cultviating native flowers and raising vegetables, he reports. Tomatoes grow 10 to 12 ft. high and must be trellised. Vegetable growing is done in troughs of chemically treated water, since they won't grow in that soil. V-J Day news was joyously received re-ceived and celebrated, and at a recent conference 55 to 60 service men attended the meetings and enjoyed a spiritual feast. Here he met Bruce Barnum, formerly of this city, but now of Yerington, New, who had organized one of the four wards there. B5 ?a aa Jnes Sr. Meets Jones Jr. The small son of Pfc. and Mrs. Ordell Jones doesn't really say "hello, daddy," yet, but it wasn't hard to understand that was the idea when senior made his first acquaintance with junior last week. Pfc. Jones arrived home at Orderville last week after almost al-most a year spent overseas, and on Sunday he and Mrs. Jones and Junior Jones came in from Orderville Order-ville with his brother Eddie, and are guests of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Jones. fa F3 Eg Crew member of one of the biggest big-gest tugboats of the U.S., MM Cox has been overseas since early in January 1945. Their job is to pick up injured sea-going craft and take them to nearest bases for repairs. On this duty they have visited Africa, Sicily, Italy, Belgium, Bel-gium, France, Holland, England, Portugal and Spain during the past nine months. They were in the mid-Atlantic when word came of V-J Day. Reception was rough. They couldn't get England or the U.S. for verification, but the snatches of news that reached them stirred up plenty of excitement excite-ment throughout the long night, and they were glad when they could verify the good news. Pa Pa Ba Seaman 1c and Mrs. Melvin Terry left last Thursday morning morn-ing for Mare Island, Calif., where they will make their home for the present. With the submarine service, Seaman Terry was home on leave in time to celebrate V-J Day, and figures duty should not be so dangerous during the remainder re-mainder of his assignment. The couple returned last week from spending several days with Mrs. Terry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chris Levanger, in Glendale, Utah, where they were given a wedding party. Since returning they were given a shower by friends of the bride. |
