Union Cemetery CORPORATION PERPETUAL CARE View Its Lovely Landscaped Grounds, Gardens and Flowers and Gem like Lakes See Our Moiunnent.il Display Near the Office Phone 7-7185 Eleventh Transport Division carrying supplies and troops from the British Isles to Algiers, Chief Boatswain's Mate Meyer is now heading a mobile coast guard recruiting unit with headquarters at the post office during its stay in Bakersfield. "Our ship made five trips from England to Algiers," the chief boatswain's mate said, "and six trips from tbe North African port to Gibraltar to pick up orders from the British admiralty. We were working under the English all during that period. As a matter of fact, we received special commendation from the admiralty on our activities." A few reasons why the coast guard flagship was the only one of her division to return safely to this country were listed by the recruiting officer.

The ship brought down five threatening Junkers 88 bombers with her heavy anti-aircraft installations and was engaged, at another time, in a three-day running battle with a wolf pack of nine torpedo- dealing submarines. "We sank five or six of the subs," Chief Boatswain's Mate Meyer recalled, but the experience which is outstanding in his memory is the torpedoing and sinking of the British aircraft carrier Avenger. Ship Explodes "We were about 200 yards away from the Avenger," the coast guard officer related, "when she was torpedoed directly amidships. It was dark, 3:30 in the morning, and the first we knew of the Avenger's trouble there was a terrific explosion as her cargo of aviation gas exploded. Flames and sparks show- c'-ed into the sky and fell on the deck of our ship.

In what seemed only a few seconds the British aircraft fairly large one. too, had gone down under tbe waves with a fierce sizzling and hissing as the water quenched the burning gas. "The English didn't sound general alarm and all but the men on duty on deck were asleep. We saved only 11 men. With me at one of the stern guns when the Avenger was torpedoed, was a fine marine artist.

Hunter Wood. Wood saw the scene just the few seconds before the ship sunk and later painted it in detail in a picture now hanging in a public building in Washington, D. C. "No cameras or photographs were allowed on our trips, but Wood caught any object he wanted to paint in the finest detail after only a few minutes' observation." Africa Invasion On the night the invasion of North Africa was launched, Chief Boatswain's Mate Meyer was engaged in unloading the landing: barges nnd cargo from his ship. On three subsequent days and nights he piloted barges ashore.

Of the important African port of Algiers he said that th'e movie "Algiers" with Charles Boyer and Hedy Lamarr caught the setting of the Casbah as it is very faithfully. "Of course, we went up into the Casbah and it was the 'mysterious' east In every respect, veiled women and shuttered, crooked houses. There 1 was nothing but Germans had taken all the cognac, whisky and all the most expensive French perfumes, and lights at night that put New York to shame. On the night of the invasion itself Algiers was completely and brilliantly lighted, but an hour after the landings started the city was blacked out and every night after that. in Department Xo.

Court by Sii-year-old Garcia, who is accused of the firing tho fatal shots. Put on tbe witness stand, the defendant was questioned by. Defense Attorneys Wiley Dorris and Hugo McKinley as lo bis version of the shooting of rtqdriguez in Delano on the morning of April 12. Cross-examination of the witness by Assistant District Attorney George McCarthy and Deputy District Attorney Joseph Woolridge followed the defense's questioning. Garcia told the jury today of a quarrel with Juan Rodriguez during the evening of April 11 in a West Delano cafe which ended with the defendant slapping the slain man on the side of tbe face.

In his story, Garcia told of being disparaged and disgraced by remarks made by Rodriguez about him while both were in the Delano cafe and this, he said, prompted his striking of Rodriguez.

While driving around Delano streets, be encountered Rodriguez, the defendant said, and he got out of the car. When Rodriguez began to walk toward him with a knife in his hand, Garcia said he backed up. When Rodriguez got too close, he fired at Rodriguez' legs.

When Rodriguez turned away, saying, "you win." Garcia declared that he went back to bis pickup and returned home. He asserted that he did not know whether he had hit the slain man. or not. hoard of directors held lasl night at the home of Ronald Clark, 1809 Second street. Mr.
