News of Boys A A F , PACIFIC OCEAN AREAS. WESTERN PACIFIC (Delayed) Staff Sergeant James L. Fuller, Rural Route No. 3, Cloverdale, Indiana, is a member of the small advance

unit which set up one of the newest 7th AAF bases in the Marianas. Sergeant Fuller, a medical technician in a 7th AAF heavy bombardment squadron, arrived several weeks in advance of the main body of his organization. He helped to clear the dense groves of trees and thick underbrush, put up command and operational tents, and prepared the urea to receive supplies and personnel. Despite the presence of Jap snipers in the area, the advance echelon performed its duties so well that 7th AAF Liberators were bombing Jap-held positions in the Western Pacific from this base on the day following their arrival. Sergeant Fuller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Omer D. Fuller of the Cloverdale address, is a graduate oi the high school in Cloverdale. Me has been with the 7th AAF in the Central and Western Pacific since May. 1943. Lester Ralph Walton S 2 c has a new address. His address may be obtained from his wife, Mrs. Norma Walton, 401 North College avenue. Gifts to Yanks There are only three more shopping days to buy gifts for a "Yank that Gave". The drive sponsored in Putnam county by American Legion Post 58 closes Friday, Decembei 8. The half way mark in the quota of 3.000 gifts has not yet been reached. If we fail, it means that there may be servicemen and women in the hospitals in Indiana who will not have the happiest an I best Christmas possible under

the circumstances, because we forgot to add the names of G. I. Joe and G. I. Jane to our shopping lists. Lists of approved gifts are available in all Greencastle stores. For gift suggestions, look in the windows of the gift depots: The Greencastle Product.on Credit Association, F3eenor Drug Co., Sam Hanna's Book Store and J. F. Cannon & Co., An additional window his been donated for display by Ed Hamilton’s Book Store. Gifts are also being collected at the Van Clove Jewelry Store in Bainbridge. On Christmas even when the carolers sing "Silent Night", remember that they are singing it, too, in the wards of Army, Navy and Veteran's hospitals where our wounded and sick lie dependent on us for a gaily wrapped package that will say J "Merry Christmas” and will help' to ease the pain and homesick-1 ness, because they are not for- i gotten. These are the men and women we have no right to ever J forget, for they gave for us. Buy your gifts now!
