Craig Calkins, who returned recently from the south Pacific. He Is the son of Mrs. W. L. Calkins, of 1221 West Stephenson street, and the husband of the Ruth Crulkshank, who Is now residing In Preeport with her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Roy P. Cruikshank, 1814 South Carroll avenue. "Until we arrived at Pinschhafen, New Guinea, after eight months in Australia, I never realized what mountains of equipment were needed," Pvt, Calkins said. "Pinsch- hafen was the base from which we hopped off for landings' at Blak.

Aitape and Wokde island, and all sorts of equipment was assembled there in amazing quantities. Amounts taken for our comparatively small expeditions seemed fantastic but we needed it all, not only the guns, the medical supplies and the bulldozers but food, clothing and every necessity of life. "When we reached the airstrips that were our objectives, and chased the Jans away from them, all that we nad were landing strips hacked out of the junele. That was Important strategically, of course, but there were no towns, ho stores, no food except what we brought with us, and maybe a few funny squash or cucumbers we got out of Jap gardens Every single thing we had was shipped over thousands of miles of oceans. There were no people to talk to, no recreation of any kind until we were able to set up movies.

Once in a while we got a U. S. O. show "Never do men fighting in the Pacific try to guess the end of the war with just seems too far away. When we left Biak, it was supposedly secure, but I read in the paper the other day that they are still killing a lot of Japs had hidden out In the Jungles and had to be cleaned out gradually.

Wewak, which we by-passed at our landing, was Just taken by the Aus- sles. The Japs don't do much surrendering, except the fake kind. They would come out with a white flag and then, as our men came forward to take them, the Japs with the white flag would drop flat and a machine gun hidden in back of them would mow our men They don't have the equipment we do but what they have is well adapted to their way of fighting and they know how to use it."
