Commissioner Wyatt. in outlining the duties of the scouts, said that present plans called for the Scouts to be on duty for at least three days.

If necessary, the scouts will continue on the fire patrol until the fire menace is abated.

Other fires were reported raging in the area north of the Boy Scout camp.

1941. and in the thick of the action at Hickam Field was hit in the right leg bv a piece of shrapnel which caused liis confinement, to an Army hospital in Honolulu for three months. During that time several operations were performed on the injured leg and eventually he rejoined his field artillery unit and was ready for more epochal events that were to come. On his service bar are four stars representing his participation in four major engagements Pearl Harbor. Midway, Guadalcanal and New Georgia Islands.

Lieutenant Genther's unit was with the original American Army division which landed on Guadalcanal in the Solomons durinc December 1942. and relieved the U. S. Marines campaigning against the Japanese there. With the extermination of the enemy forces from Guadalcanal, Lieutenant Genther subsequently put in additional months of the most rigorous fighting as the American forces moved on the Japanese on New Georgia Island.

He was a participant in the heroic drives that recently wrested the important Munda air field and Bairokl harbor from Japanese control. Among other thrilling experiences he recalls how lie outwitted an enemy sniper who had him cornered in a fox hole. The sniper held Lieutenant Genther at bay for quite some time and evidently turned his attention elsewhere after drilling a hole through the American's helmet which he pushed slightly into view with his rifle, believing that the bullet had done its deadly work. Shortly thereafter Lieutenant Genther mnde a hurried departure from the fox hole unmolested. Another example of the not-so-tricky Jnpanese beins fooled.

Lieutenant Genther's hardships were not confined to actual combat as he contracted malaria and was hospitalized twice with the dread fever. On one occasion he spent a month in the field hospital and 12 days the second time. The 26-year-old veteran returned to the States on Sept. 18 and lost no time getting home for a reunion with his anxiously waiting relatives. He will be here until Oct.

7 when he leaves for Santa Ana. where he will begin flight training. He recently was transferred to the Army Air Forces. School District Continued from Page 5 for mechanical and related drawing classes available, the principal said. The original Mack home was built by the late George Albright, foundrv-man and pipe manufacturer, in 1897, when it was one of the finest dwellings in the city of Allentown.

About 1910 it became the residence of the late John M. Mack, one of the founders of the Mack Brothers Motor Car Co. It has been unoccupied for the past few years. Present assessed valuation of the property is $29,000. Purchase of the Mack property wf.l help to meet the increased needs of the high school program, which has been recently enriched by more comprehensive courses in science, mathematics, home economics and in the trades, it was pointed out by Dr.

Richardson, who revealed the following increases in enrollment over that of last year: in chemistry. 206: biology, 540; physics. 264: home economics, 184; trade courses. 229. The increased space also makes it possible for future i coming students to pursue the courses they elect.

The school board believes that in the period of economic readjustment following the war the problem of meeting the educational needs of young people on the secondrry school level will be vastly augmented and that the best time to plan facilities to meet such nteds is now. Purchase of the Mack property is a part of the long-range program for the future educational necessities of Allentown.
