Mr. and Mrs. Edwin J. Brown of
Pine Grove Avenue certainly had a
nice holiday surprise. Both of their
sons were able to come home on a
furlough. The older son, Richard S.,
is a radioman first class in the USNR.
He is stationed in Portland, Oregon.
Life has not always been as quiet for
him. He has seen plenty action while
he was serving on the "Yorktown." He
is not very willing to talk about his
experiences, however, as "I came home
to rest up and enjoy myself," he
answers if someone asks him. Private
Edwin G. Brown is with the Flying
Ordnance, stationed in Panama City,
Florida.
Recently graduated from the Bom-bardier
School at Kirtland Field, Albu-querque,
New Mexico, Lt. Sherman
Harold Farr wears his Wings with
LT. SHERMAN HAROLD FARR
pride. Even before he entered the
Army, he was very active in helping
the war effort. He was a defense
worker for three years. At the present
time Lieutenant Farr is stationed at
Moses Lake, Washington.
. . . Corporal Fredric S. Appelman,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Appelman, is
taking a math refreshner course at
Grinnell College, Iowa, at the present
time. Eighteen years old now, he was
inducted five months ago and already
wears two stripes on his sleeve. Young-est
of six brothers and sisters he is one
of those boys who miss homelife very
much. His family, however, sees to it
that he has a letter in the mail every
time there is mail-call.
. There was a big surprise in stock
for Private Mel Adler, when his
mother, Mrs. Joseph Adler, and his
sister, Colleen, went to see him in San
Angelo, Texas. Private Adler is sta-tioned
there with the Army Air Corps
Technical Ground Troops. He recently
married a Chicago girl, the former Miss
Shirley Goldman, and here again he
is luckier than most of the boys as his
wife is with him in Texas.
. . Bette R. Berberick, seaman first
class, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sol
Berberick of Elmdale Avenue, will be
home on her first furlough for the
holidays. Miss Berberick, formerly an
advertising agent for the Sun, and a
very active hostess for the U.S.O., felt
that this is her war too. She enlisted
in the Waves and was sent to Hunter
College, New York, for schooling. Up-on
graduation she was sent to Wash-ington
to work in Secret Service.
Praise to Mrs. Berberick, who sup-ported
her daughter's idea, in spite of
the fact that she disliked separating
from her 'only child.
. . . We are very proud of Gilbert
Addis, who graduated from his training
as a link trainer to the top man of
his class. Deep within him he expected
a price for his accomplishments, and
it certainly came -in form of K. P.
duty for a week. Well, he took it good
heartedly. He figures it will help him
after he gets home to take his household
duties without complaining. At the
present time he is a link trainer at
La Junta, Colorado.
S. . Alwin G. Aaron, Pharmacist Mate
Second Class USNR, son of Mrs. Celia
G. Aaron of N. Winthrop Avenue, has
been shivering in the Alaskan climate
for close to a year now. Attached to
the medical corps, he had his training
in the Great Lakes Naval Station, in
the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Mary-land
and in Norfolk, Virginia. The
censor is too conscientious to let any
of Mr. Aaron's interesting stories
about Alaska pass, but we know that
he is connected with the Seabees, and
for enjoyment a member of the band
that supplies the entertainment for
the Officers' club.
News comes to the desk that Tech-nical
Sergeant Fred S. Wagner, who
was recently awarded the Air Medal
for successful raids over enemy held
territory, has been awarded the Oak
Leaf cluster for ten more heroic mis-sions.
The young hero is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wagner and the
fiance of proud Miss Shirley Pincus.
Tell us, Sergeant Wagner, are you try-ing
to win this war singlehanded?
. . Private First Class Maurice Levy,
wounded four times in the jungle fight-ing
on New Guinea early this year, has
been awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross in recognition of an effective one-man
campaign of enemy decimation.
Going into action near Sanananda he
succeded in knocking out twenty-five
Jap soldiers, one by one. Four times
