B. W. Cook and First Lt. J. Slaula.

Many of the men who participated were veterans of actual amphibious operations. The planes, the boats, the equipment used by the men, the ammunition they fired, and a few other items like training represented an expenditure of approximately $790,0000. The Lamar County Bond quota for the Seventh War Loan is $790,000. Thursday's operation utilized 100 men and 3 officers, plus 12 planes and a relatively small amount of ammunition. The operation, against Japan, described by speakers as bandit nation whose soldiers arc tough, barbaric, snv- and fanatical, will obviously require many times as much.

Many Buy Bonds Taking their cue from the the Texans and Oklahomans who gathered for the show literally swarmed over the bond-buying tables. They wanted to ride in the Higgins boats which staged the invasion. And ride they did. At first it was announced 200 rides would be given. Later, it was announced that the boats would haul bond-buyers just as long as one remained.

As a result, the boats were busy (or some time after conclusion of the show. The War Finance Committees oi Lamar and Choctaw Counties saw virtually everything fid wrong on the very eve of the show. First, water was not available to float the boats down the Red River, This was overcome by trucking the boats from Denispn. The boats were put into Red River from Lake Texoma before it was known that no water would be available to float them to Arthur City. Then, at Arthur City, further hard iuck befell the boots and their Navy-Higgins personnel.

There was no convenient way to unload the boats from the trucks. Finally a drag-line was dispatched, It broke through a bridge, and there it stopped. This bridge was on the lone road leading to the parking area mapped for spectators. As a consequence, spectators were forced to park at the highway and walk to tiie river's edge. This they and seemingly in good spirits.

They came to see the show, and they didn't mind a little walk to the site. At that, however, it was estimated that perhaps an additional thousand or more persons turned back wh.cn they were unable to drive nearer the river. Ice, tcnded for soft drink stands at the site, was left to melt in the hot June sand because it could not be carried. Finally a more circuitous route was opened, and it was over this that Ma.i. Gen.

Eugene M. Landrum, Brig. Gen. Redmond I. Kernan and Col.

Robert 0. Annin drove to the speaker's stand. There General Landruni, commanding general of the 1ARTC at Camp Maxey, said that 'two down E.nd one to go does not mean our job is two-thirds complete. Japan represents a force contrary to the American way of life. That force must be destroyed Japan must and Japan will be crushed." Jap Called Tough General Kernan, assistant IARTC commander, called the Japanese soldier a "tough, barbaric, savage and fanatical fighter only way to defeat the Jap is to destroy him by our infantry soldiers fighting their way yard by yard, foot by foot.

it is not a pleasant job." Cojonel Annin, Camp Maxey commander, said "Thousands of soldiers have been trained at Camp Maxey since it was activated July 15, 1942. Many more thousands are likely to go from tliis camp to fight the treacherous Jap, and we of the Army Service Forces are helping the ground forces in every way we can to prepare these men to fight until the final victory is won." Sgt. Clifford W. Queen, ed Marine veteran of the fighting on Iwo Jima, spoke. "You cant' bring Mitch back to me, nor the thousands of others who died over there, but you can keep stuff going to them.

That's all we want. You just furnish us the stuff. We'll do the best we can with it." He earlier told of. how hij buddy and "best friend I ever whose nick-name was "Mitch," had died in a foxhole. "I watched him die.

He didn't die easy. He aged 20 years in a half-hour. But never once did he make a sound. I tried to get him help, but was blown back into the foxhole. I couldn't do a.

thing. Couldn't take him out, and help couldn't get to him. All I could do was watch him die, He was the best friend I ever had." Introduced also was Pvt. Robert Lee Hinson, also a wounded Marine veteran of Iwo Jima. Description ot the maneuvers was by Petty Officer Fred Andrews, assigned to the Navy Industrial Incentive Division, and on leave from the Const Guard.

O. W. Boswell, chairman of, the Lamar County War Finance Committee, was master of ceremonies. Invocation was by Chaplain (Cnp- lain) Fred McFherson. assistant Camp Maxcy chaplain.
