and Mrs. W. A. Shoemaker, Start, on duty with Standard Landing Craft Unit 34, the boat pool here, can feel pride and satisfaction at news of the fleet's entrance into Japan, as the unit provided supplies and did repair work for the fighting ships. The base, built despite adverse weather conditions, hazardous coral reefs and rugged shore conditions, was said to be the model of advance base construction in the Pacific.

Here every major fleet unit had boats and pontoon barges assigned for its use in procuring supplies, sending men to recreational camps and to important operational meetings and for ferrying crippled planes from carriers to an island air strip. One night in March a Japanese plane mistook the small island for a carrier, suicided in, killed three men and wounded many others. The unit regards with special pride two commendatory dispatches received in its 10 months' service. One of these was from Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and the other from Commodore O.

O. Kesslng, former atoll commander. IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER, C. BLEDSOE By Lonez Traweek An angel came from heaven At the close of a beautiful day. Far from above the horizon.

Took our loved one away. Our circle has now been broken. Our mother, then our Dad; Tho' we know he's gone to meet them. Yet his parting leaves us sad. But now he's with the angels, In a mansion up above.

And his soul is at rest with Jesus, The one we dearly love. A death through lengthy illness Comes and hurts a lot, But a death like his, so sudden, Brings with its grief, the shock. Some how it seems he's living, He simply can't be gone; But God, we know, is honest, And does nothing that is wrong. A SISTER, LONEZ A SHORT HISTORY OF THE U. S.

S. PETROF BAY The following article about the USS Petrof Bay was sent home by 1C Nolen R. Goodson, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.

Goodson of Rayville Rt 2: The PETROF BAY, one of the Kaiser escort carriers, was commissioned February -18, 1944, at Astoria, Oregon. For preliminary shakedown exercises, she was given the assign ment of ferrying planes to the forward area. Deliveries were made to Espiri-tu Santo, New Hebrides, to Admiral Mitscher's fast carrier group, then operating off Truk, and to Majuro. After this shakedown cruise, the Petrof Bay returned to the United States for routine repairs and overhaul. On July 30, 1944, she was ready for sea again and having embarked Composite Squadron 76, she shoved off for the forward areas once more.

Two rehearsal operations qualified her for action and in September, 1944, she took part in the Palau operation. The ship followed that first successful action by participating in the landing at Leyte, Lingayen Gulf, San Nar-cisco, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and in the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea. This last battle was the historic one between the little carriers and heavy units of the Japanese Fleet Composite Squadron 76 stayed with the ship through the Iwo Jima landing and then was replaced by Composite Squadron 93, which carried on at Okinawa the excellent standard set by its predecessor. During the landing operations, the planes of these squadrons were called upon for pre-invasion strikes and, after the troops were ashore, for close support work. When necessary, however, as in the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, the pilots shifted from land targets to ships of the Jap Fleet.

While her planes were carrying out their assignments, the scrappy little carrier was often required to protect herself from all forms of enemy attack. At one point during the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea she was attacked by four suicide planes. The first plane was exploded in mid-air by anti-aircraft fire, the second turned away smoking, the third came straight in, missed, and hit the water twenty feet forward of the bridge, exploded, and drenched the ship from bow to stern with water, gas, and oil, the fourth went straight for the flight deck but when 400 feet from the ship, its tail and wing were shot off and it fell harmlessly into the sea. Later that same day a Jap sub fired two GHARAGTER PHONE 3 iurrir-wi Captain and Mrs. W.

A. Cooper are here at home after having made New Orleans their temporary home for a number of months. Captain Cooper has been stationed at Jackson Barracks in the city. It is not known just what assignment may be given Captain Cooper, but he hopes to receive his honorable discharge shortly, being at present on inactive duty. Mrs.

F. S. Key joined Mr. Key in Baton Rouge and they spent the week end pleasantly in New Orleans. Corporal Phil E.

Fortenberry, popularly known at home as "Billie" Fortenberry, has returned with his honorable discharge after a number of months overseas in the European war zone. Mrs. W. A. McCoy, who has been making her home in the Hawaiian Islands for several years, is here as the guest of her husband's parents, Mr.

and Mrs. W. A. McCoy, Sr. Mr.

McCoy will join her some time this fall if he can get a vacation. Mrs. McCoy is remembered here as Miss Elizabeth Taylor, member of the Rayville high school faculty. Mr. and Mrs.

W. R. Rigsby, of Huntington Park, California, have been here the guests of his father, Mr. J. H.

Rigsby. Upon their return home they will be accompanied by his sister, I Miss Marie Rigsby, who will make her I home in California. We had the pleasure of a call from Mr. Rigsby i while he was here. The editor is in receipt of a letter ifrom William A.

He has been in the Navy over three years, with 20 months in the Pacific area, and is eagerly looking forward to his return home. Pharma- cist Mate Butler is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James D.

Ona Davis, of Lake Providence, and Mrs. Ola Merchant, of Dunn, visited their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

Thompson, of Archibald, last week end. They were happy to have their brother, Willie, at home after serving overseas. Edwards-Traxler Miss Hope Edward, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.

E. Teller, of Suffolk, England, and Corporal Arland v. Traxler were quietly married on September 5th at the home of the bride, in the presence of a few relatives. The bride was given in marriage by her step-father, Mr. T.

E. Teller. Corporal Traxler is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.

L. Traxler, of Rayville Route One. He graduated from the Rayville high school in 1940 and entered the service soon thereafter. He has been overseas nearly three years. BAPTIST TRAINING UNION ENJOYS SOCTAL Members of the Baptist Training Union enjoyed a social and program planning meeting Friday evening of last week, at the church.

After meeting in the auditorium for a devotional service, the juniors and intermediates repaired to their classrooms and, with their leaders, planned their programs for the ensuing quarter and transacted any business which needed to be attended to. We then met downstairs for a very enjoyable social. Many games and contests had been planned by Mrs. B. D.

White, chairman of the entertainment committee, and children and adults alike entered into the spirit of play and really enjoyed themselves. At the conclusion of the games delicious ice cream and cake was served to all present including a number of invited guest3.

One missed twenty yards to port and the other to starboard. In this battle, the officers and men of the Petrof Bay stayed at their battle stations for four long days.

The ship was under attack much of the time. The crew took turns sleeping at their battle stations and ate only sandwiches and coffee. During this time, the ship's planes were constantly going and coming, taking off with bombs and ammunition to blast the Japs at sea and on land, returning only to refuel, rearm and take off again. Of the group of four escort carriers, with which she was operating, only the Petrof Bay emerged unscathed On the wings of the ship's bridge are painted thirty Jap flags, denoting twenty-five Jap planes downed by her pilots and five more by her gun crews, together with five ships showing the damaging of three Jap cruisers and the destruction of a destroyer and a merchantman. As a tribute to the exceptional records of the squadrons she has carried, to the consistently high grade performance of her crew, and to her constant readiness for duty, the Petrof Bay, Escort Carrier 80, has come to be known in the Pacific Fleet as the "Mad Russian," the "Mighty Eighty," and the "Perpetual Bay."
