IN THE MARIANAS :- William A. O'Connell, 18, seaman, first class, USNR, didn't expect to meet an old friend from his home town, Way- land, Mass., when he went to a ship in a Marianas Island harbor, to muster an incoming draft. Mechan- ically calling the name, Henry Pero- deau, he got back a cheery "Hi Willie", instead of the conventional "here."


Henry Perodeau, carpenter's mate, second class, whose family lives in neighboring Cochituate, entered the Seabees in August, 1943. Before his enlistment he had driven for the Short Lines, out of Boston.


O'Connell, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. John R. O'Connell, live on Cochituate Rd., has been in service since August, 1944. After boot train- ing at Sampson, N. Y., he was trans- ferred into the personnel office of an outgoing unit and landed in the Marianas soon after. In civilian life, he worked for the First National Store in Cochituate.


Both men have brothers în the armed forces. Alfred Perodeau, motor machinist's mate, first class, in the Admiralty Islands, and private John R. O'Connell, Jr., is in the Army Air Forces.

In a letter to the JEEP from Ray- mond Snell, S 1/c, we quote: received the JEEP today and, gee, wa. I glad to get it. I look for it all the time. I am now on the USS YF, 734. I haven't seen any of the boys as yet. I sure would like to see Anthony Romano. How does Paul Tobin like France? Please keep the JEEP coming, the best little paper going.

want to thank you and your staff and the donors for the Bond and the touch of home it brings to me. Thanks again and more success to you all. Would like to be able to write something interesting for your paper but afraid it would be dull. My wife forwarded a letter from a former Cochituate serviceman, Nor- man Lowther, now in Germany, and he says he is enjoying the JEEP too, so I shall write to him."


Mrs. Irving L. Dame of Wallace Rd. expresses her sentiments in the following manner : "Dear Editors :


As I sit at my machine in a war plant doing my part in seeing that one of the most vital things used by the armed forces is tested correctly, the song 'I'm a Little on the Lonely Side Tonight' runs through my head and it was while in one of these moods when I would give anything to have the telephone ring and hear 'Hi, Mom' in that dear familiar voice that I wrote this bit of verse.


I Wished on the Moon Oh! little new moon, I wish you would see


That our son is safe far over the sea. "The Lord is my Shepherd,' I pray


in the night, And again I repeat in morn's early light :


"Throw around him protection and might No living enemy ever can fight'."

After the finish of Wayland High's victorious baseball season, some coaches from surrounding towns decided that they wanted some of Wayland's players. As the American Junior Legion teams opened their seasons, four of Way- land's stars appeared.


In Natick, there appeared a cer- tain red-headed third baseman who was trying very hard and doing a swell job. Yes, you probably guessed it, it was Jack Tivnan. Jack, who has done some fine work at short stop for Wayland, had shifted to third base for Natick.


When Natick's catcher took off his mask we recognized him also. It was Brad Whitney, Wayland's for- mer second baseman. He is doing an excellent job in this position.


In the Weston Junior Legion line- up, Buzzy Bowers is the head of the pitching department. He is continu- ing his list of victories and his record is seven wins in nine starts.


Weston's first baseman is Tucker Egan, Wayland's former first sack- er. Ben Driscoll, a North Natick boy, is at present the leading Natick batter.


A MARINE'S LAMENT


(This verse was written by a Cpl. because someone slipped up on writing. Perhaps it will remind others not to forget their friends who are away.)


Ain't you got no paper, friend ? Ain't you got no pen ? Ain't you got no envelope To put a letter in ?


Is ya lost my old address, And lost my letters, too? Don't you know I'm 'bout to die From lack of word from you?


Is ya got the writer's cramp, Is ya broke your arm? Is ya got the rheumatiz Is it too hot and warm?


Ain't you got a single thought 'Bout me feelin' blue ? Don't you know it's been weeks Since I heard from you?


To Pvt. Roger L. Furbush and T/5 George C. Snow


When you come home we will be waiting


For your step upon the stair, When you come home it will be heaven ;


Heaven, just to have you near.


Just to see your tender smiles, dear, And know that you no more will roam.


And we will always be here waiting, For you our sons when you come home.


-Florence Snow.


Eggs are eggs, even though they have been reduced to a powder. Shipped in a can so that you sift them into the fry pan, add a little water and there you are : two sunny-side-up-at least that is what a mess sergeant called them-eggs ! Now, of all the service men in the entire South Pacific, just one, our own "Red" Perodeau, went the Sergeant one better and wrote home to the "Little Woman" that he was enjoying "fresh" eggs and bacon for breakfast. In some way, word about the eggs and bacon got into the "Jeep" and poor Red has been in the doghouse with the gang as to how he gets fresh eggs and all the added compliments such as: How do you get that way; what's the matter, has the heat got you, etc.


Well, just to help an old pal and set him right with the gang, here is the real story: Carrier pigeons are the answer. Twice a week bacon and fresh eggs wing out over the big pond on the way to Red, so keep your eye on him on Sunday and Wednesday mornings for break- fasts, three days only from the nest to the plate. Everything should be O.K. now that the whole story is out, Red.


To Pvt. Roger L. Furbush, 296 Engineers, C Bat. and T/5 George C. Snow, 374 Ordnance, M.V.A.C .:


Now you are far away from us, our darlings,


And shadows creep around us here alone. We sit and think of you As Spring goes by us, There'll be no Spring for us Till you come home. -Mrs. Stella Furbush.

FOUR COCHITUATE BOYS MEET IN AUSTRIA


Capt. Francis Gallagher, Richard Groton and Bill Scotland spent a very pleasant week-end when they visited Johnny, Fran's brother, who is stationed on the Austrian border.


They visited the theatre in Ober- ammergau where the Passion Play originated; they climbed mountains by aerial tramway, by jeep and on foot, and to quote Fran, they "might title their week-end 'climbing the Alps a la Cochituate'."


It was a week-end long to be re- membered by them all as they were much impressed by the beautiful scenery, it being the most beautiful part of Germany, the tops of the mountains having snow all the year around.


The Alpine villages like Garmisch have neat little white stucco houses with red tile roofs and wide eaves and every house has cute little bal- conies on the front.


The Alpiners wore high felt hats with little feathers and brushes in them and fancy leather shorts. Bill wanted to buy a hat for a souvenir
