I had a very drab Thanksgiving Day dinner at Kilmer, ami I had a bad case of melancholia about the whole situation. On the 29th of November I started to haul the material that we were taking along with us down to the dock from which we were going to embark. There were two ships at this dock, one was a beauty and the other wasn so hot, but both of them' were of the fast sailing types and it wouldnt be necessary for either of them to be convoyed across the ocean by the Navy. Just to satisfy my curiosity I stayed around until they started to place some of our boxes in the hold of one of the ships and in that way found out what ship we were slated to take. "n the left sleeve of the uniform worn by passenger conductors, hrakemen and ' flagmen are the Insignia indicating length of service; a star for twenty-fiv- e years, a bar for each five years. The proud possessors of Mstars and bars help to form the solid foundation of a railroad's personnel.

THIS SPECIAL FARM DEAL On December 2, 1943 we loaded ourselves down with our field and grabbed our) one authorized grip and climbed on the at troop train at Camp Kilmer last we were on our way. The troop train moved in a complete blackout, and traveled at a snails pace all the way to a ferry boat dock on the Jersey City side of the Hudson River. We left the train and mobbed our way on to a ferry, by this time I was ready to give up'the fight, I was just .about exhausted from carrying ray gun, field pack, bedroll, .andJflying bag. The ferry boat docked on the Manhattan side of the Hudson River, and to this day I dont think that I would have ever made it up the gangplank to the dock if it wasnt for an army band playing stirring music. I still think that the primary duty of that band waa to urge lagging individuals like my- self up that plank instead, of just giving us a patriotic send off. I was sadly disheartened when I found after making the gangplank run that I still had three flights of stairs to navigate to one of the upper stories of the dock, well, you guessed it I just sat down and took one each long' recuperating rest, how I ever made those stairs has -- me wondering even now. After 1 reached the top flight of stairs I found the good old stand by, the Red ?ross, dishing but .hot 'coffee and dough-nutyou have to hand it to ihem they sure knew where they, were the most needed, it reminded me of a steam engine stopping at a watering point some- - UTAH OIL REFINING CO. s, ) Your Local Representative for Utah Oil Refining Company j ol |
