After being stationed on Guam for 18 months at the Strategic Air Command Base, GERALD L. GROSHANS, son of MR.

AND MRS. HENRY M. GROSHANS, 405 E. Wyandotte is telling his friends about life on "The Rock," servicemen's name for Guam. He hopes that he can interest veterans groups to help the other fellows on The Rock, especially during holidays like Christmas and New Year's when there is absolutely nothing for them to do.

The island, which has a coral base, is about 30 miles long and only 4 to 8 miles wide. Gerald toured the island extensively while he was there and attended many Guamanian festivals with his friends. At these there's plenty to eat and drink. Anything they have is yours, Gerald said. On one occasion, he was eating what he thought was delicious barbecued chicken and it turned out to be a Guamanian concoction of bat meat.

He also had coconut crabs and roasted wild pigs that he considered very tasty. He says that the people on Guam can do wonderful things with roots. The natives live primitively. Their homes of wood and tin are not constructed well and they have very little furniture. Only a few farms raise pigs and chickens and there are two big vegetable farms on the whole island.

There are only a few towns on the island, for example, Agana and Tamuning, where there are shops in which people can purchase clothing, etc. The servicemen do their buying at a PX. When he served as honor guard for Guamanian funerals, Gerald Mr. and Mrs. John Barmore, Freeport Route 3, are the parents of a daughter born Thursday.

The beaches on Guam are every bit as pretty as those on Waikiki, Gerald said. "The only difference here is that you don't have the facilities and, of course, no bathing beauties." -i Before coming home after their Army discharge, WILLIAM BAUCH and FRANKLIN CURRY decided to take a motor trip to California and other parts of the Southwest.
