Several days ago we met with two o f Xenia’s “ old-timers” , George Swartz, and James Kennedy, As we approached them on W. Main, we found them folding back the- pages o f history and who was here and there in the various locations in the busi- ness district. Both could recall that many old buildings near the square have been almost forgotten by most persons who have a likeness for keep­ ing afresh historical eyents and data. One o f the oldest buildings in the business section is the Xenia National Bank is the oldest financial institution o f Greek design that still attracts the eye o f both local as well as transient that pass that corner. Many other buildings were referred to in the few minutes we chatted with the two lo­ cal historians. The Xenia National Bank is the oldest financial taBtiution in the county according to historians. The present building was erected in 1867—78 years ago, For more than three quarters o f a century this build­ ing has been a financial house and aB far as can be seen, it yet is in an unu­ sual state o f preservation.

DAYTON MAY GO ON STRIKE OVER FAST TIME QUESTION The fact that Dayton has gone on fast time evidently has not settled the time problem in that city. The city has an ordinance for fast time but reports are the commission is di­ vided over repeal. One member is in Florida and is expected home next week. % Labor organizations are campaign­ ing for a return.to. slow time. They threaten a general strike if the com­ mission does not. repeal the present fast time ordinance. eighteen and twenty-five will be for combat purposes in the Pacific area, those between twenty-five and thirty- two and thirty-twp for replacements and policing Europe, and those be tween thirty-two and thirty-eight as services forces in this country, with os many'combat veterans and men o f long over-seas service as possible be­ ing given discharges. Older men with four and five years o f army ser­ vice are expected to bo among the first released when Army cuts start. The Ban Francisco Conference got under way Wednesday with forty- six nations participating. The pro­ posals adopted at # the Dumbarton Oaks meeting last Autumn will be used as the basis o f discussion in the attempt to establish a world organi­ zation to fix principles o f internation­ al behavior and justice which will en­ able nations to settle their future dif­ ferences without resorting to the vio­ lence of war. The peoples of the world want peace. It is the hope of every right thinking individual, re­ gardless o f race or nationality, tha.t the San Francisco Conference will be successful, The delegates now meet­ ing there have the opportunity and the power to make this a better world ih which to live. Let uS all pray they do their work well.

Call JHtartmaftp, Tr-iSSi, s t I was tagging along with a head quarters company of a regiment. We were on jejpretty, grassy coun­ try. The front lines were about a thousand yards ahead. Other troops were bivouacked all around u s.* There were still a few snipers hid­ ing around. An officer was brought in just before dark, shot through the arm. So we were on our toes. •’ Just at dusk three planes flew slowly overhead in the direction of the beach. We paid no attention, for we thought they were ours. But they weren’t. In a moment all hell cut loose from the beach. Our entire fleet and the guns ashore started throw­ ing stuff into the sky. I’ve never seen a thicker batch of ack-ack. As one of the marines said, there were more bullets than , there was , sky. Those Jap pilots must .have • thought the world was coming to an end to fly into1a load storm like that only 10 hours after we bad land­ ed on Okinawa. All three were shot down. As deep darkness came on we got into our foxholes and settled down for the night. The countryside be­ came as silent as a graveyard—si­ lent, that is, between shots. The only, sounds were war sounds. There were no country sounds at all. The sky was a riot o f stars. Capt. Tom Brown was in the fox­ hole next to me. As we lay there on our backs, looking up into the starry sky, he said: . “ There’s the Big Dipper. That’s the first time I’ve seen that since I’ve been in the Pacific.” For, you see, marines o f this division have done all their fighting under the Southeni Cross, where our Big Dipper doesn’t ishow. As full darkness came, flares be­ gan lighting the country ahead of us over the front lines. They were shot in shells from our battleships, timed to burst above our lines, and float down on parachutes. That was to keep the country lighted up so we could see the Japs if they tried to infiltrate, which is one of their favorite tricks. The flares were shot, up several per minute from dusk until the moon came out full. It was very bright after that and the flares were not needed. But all night long two or three ships kept up a slow shelling of the far hills where the Japs were sup­ posed- to be. i t wasn’t a bom bardment; just two or three shells per minute. They passed right over us. and I found that passing shells have the same ghostly “ win­ dow shade rustle” on this side iof the world as on tha other. My foxhole Was only about 20 feet from where two field telephones and two field radios were lying on the ground. All night, officers sat on the ground at these four pieces of com­ munications and directed our troops. As I lay there listening in the dark, the conversation was startling-' ly familiar—the words and the thoughts and the actions exactly as I'd known them for so long in the infantry. . AH night I could hear these low voices over the phones—voices in the darkness, voices of men running the war at the front. Not long after dark the rifle shots started. There would be a little flurry far ahead, maybe a dozen shots. Then silence for many min­ utes. ' Then there would be another flur­ ry, way to the left. Then silence. Then the blurt of a machine gun closer, and a few scattered single shots sort of framing it. Then a long silence. Spooky. All night it went like that. Flares tar the sky ahead, the crack of big guns behind us, then of passing shells, a few dark figures coming and going in.the night, muted voices at the telephones, th& rifle shots, the mosquitoes, the stars, the feel of the damp night air under the wide sky —back again at the kind of life 1 had known so long. The old .familiar pattern, un- changed by distance or time from war on the other side of the world, A pattern so imbedded in my soul that, coming back into it again, it see.med to me as I lay there that I’d never known anything else ta my life. And there are millions of us. Spend * N ig h t in G y p *y H id e ou t The company commander, Capt.. Julian Dusenbury, said 1 could have my choice of two places to spend . the first night with his company. j .One was with him in his command post. The command post was a big, round Japanese gun emplacement, m ade,of sandbags. The Japs had never occupied it, but they had stucl^ a log out of it, pointing toward the sea and making It look like a gun to aerial reconnaissance. Captain Dusenbury and a couple o f his officers had spread ponchos on the ground inside the emplace­ ment and had hung their telephone on a nearby tree and were ready for business. There was no roof on the emplacement. It was right on top, of a hill and cold and very windy. My other choice was with a cou­ ple of enlisted men who had room for me in a little Gypsy-like hideout’ they’d made. * It was a tiny, level place about halfway down the hillside, away from the sea. They’d* made.a roof over it by tying ponchos to 'trees and had dug, up some Japanese straw mats out of a farmhouse to lay oh the ground. I chose the second o f these two places, partly because it was warm­ er, and also because I wanted to be with the men anyhow. My two “ roommates” were Cpl. Martin iCiayton Jr. of Dallas, Tex­ as, and Pfc. William Gross of Lan-: sing, Mich. Clayton is nicknamed “ Bird Dog” and nobody ever calls him anything else. He is tall, thin and dark, al­ most Latin-looking. He sports a puny little mustache he’s been try­ ing to grow for weeks and he makes fun of it. Gross is simply called Gross. He is very quiet, but thoughtful of little things and they both sort of looked after me .for several days. ■ The .e two boys have become very close friends, and. after the war they in­ tend to go to UCLA together and finish their education. The boys said we could all three sleep side by side in the same “ bed.” So I got out my contribu­ tion to the night’s beauty rest. And it was a very much appreciated con­ tribution, .too. For I had carried a blanket as well as a poncho. These marines had been sleeping every night on the ground with no cover, except their cold,-rubberized ponchos, and they had almost frozen to death.. .Their packs were so heavy they hadn’t been able to bring blankets ashore with them. Our next door neighbors were about three feet away in a similar level spot on the hillside, and .they had roofed it similarly with ponchos. These two men were Sgt. Neil An­ derson of Coronado, Calif., and Sgt. George Valido of Tampa, Fla. ' So we chummed up and the five of us cooked supper under a tree just in front of our “ house,” The boys made a fire out of sticks and we put canteen cups and K rations right on the fire. Other liitie groups of marines had similar little fires going all over the hillside. As we were eating, an­ other marine came past and gave Bird Dog a big piece of fresh roast­ ed pig they had just cooked, and. Bird Dog gave me some. It sure was good after-days of K rations. Several of the boys found their K rations moldy, and mine was too. It was the old-fashioned kind and we finally realized they were 1942 rations and had been stored, prob­ ably ta Australia, all this time. Suddenly downhill a few yards, we heard somebody yell and start cussing and then there was a lot of laughter, What had happened was that one mailne had heated a K ration can and, because it wad pressure packed, if exploded when he pried it open and there were hot egg yolks over him. Usually , the boys open a can a little first, and release the pressure before heating, so tha can won’t explode, G.I.
