Barnard Battery --th AAA Gun Bn. APO Postmaster San Francisco, California. Dear Bill: You probably have developed quite a tan by now, spending all those hours under the Philippine sun without a shirt. Your description of Manila would do credit to an experienced reporter. The devastation must be terrible, but I'm glad the sunken ships in the harbor are all Japanese.

Have you run into Mike Tonsar over there (you'll remember he used to be in Special)? We had an interesting letter from him the other day describing how his Field Artillery outfit captured a Jap 12-inch gun. He said the gun fired an pound shell. Like you, Bill, we hope that'it won't be long before this war is over and you fellows are home again. There are a lot of soldiers being transferred across the country now and I suppose you've heard how civilian travel has been restricted. We don't have the Erie's New York pullman anymore in Bradford, since pullman trips of less than 450 miles are taboo under the new regulations.

The plant has undeigone a good many changes in the three years that you have been in the service and changes are still going on to keep pace with the varying needs of the Army and Navy. Now that the war in Europe is at an end, some of our war products have been curtailed, enabling us to give more attention to the heavy demand for high-priority pipeline couplings and fittings. However, as a member of an anti- aircralt battalion you'll be interested to know that our production of rings for anti-aircraft guns is now the highest it has ever been A book has been prepared giving a description, accompanied by pictures, of all of the many war products we have turned out since the start of the war. It's an amazingly thick book and it gives an impressive picture of the part Dresser men and women have played in producing material for nearly every branch of the Army and Navy. We enjoyed receiving your letter, Bill, and we hope that another one will be arriving before too long.

As ever, and your Dresser friends. NOTE: This letter to a former employee of the Dresser Mann- factoring Division now serving in the armed forces, sponsored by the Dresser Company, is addressed to Private William E. Barnard woo worked In the company's Special Department until he joined the armed forces in June, 1943. E. C.

Weilacher Makes Long Trip in Search of Japs In the longest inland water thrust of the Philippines campaign, Edward C. Weilacher of Bradford was carried 80 miles up the twisting Agusan river and its tributaries with his 31st Infantry Division unit to deny the Japs a. place of refuge even in Mindanao's swamps In less than two weeks the unit had killed more than 100 of the enemy in scattered contacts. Squad Leader Weilacher, whose wtte, Olive and son live at 104 Amm street, found no head hunters or crocodiles as he had been led to expect; instead were hundreds of organized guerrillas, eager to aid in killing Japs. Artillery pieces were hauled from barges up the steep river bank.

Tons of supplies were unloaded by hand and a muddy banana grove was transformed into a base camp. While 20 shallow-bottom supply barges plied the sometimes even shallower river, needing rain almost daily for navigation of its upper reaches, the mission for GI's and their Filipino comrades-in-arms in this remote spot remained the same. They stayed there until all Japs were killed. Deaths in Area DEATHS Mrs. Ellen Smith, 170 Davis street.
