Relatives at Molt have received a
letter from Pvt. George E. "Bud"

days of seasickness he had a nice
trip crossing the Pacific.

Okinawa, (Delayed)—Marine Pvt.
Reuben J. Haueter, Laurel, Mont.,
and his platoon leader were sleeping
between a thick, three-foot wall and
the base of a monument when a
Jap shell struck the comer of the
enclosure.
Three men that were sleeping in
foxholes outside the shrine were hit
but Haueter and his lieutenant were
only shaken up and showered with
rock fragments.
If it wasn't for the Japanese
shrine the two men might never
had been able to leave Okinawa.
Haueter is the son of the Rev

P.F.C. Glenn K. Fly, South Paci
fic, June 8:
A few lines to let you know I
am still receiving my Outlook reg
ular and appreciate and look for
ward to receiving the news from
Laurel.
The last one I received
contained the names of all the men
and women of Laurel in the service,
and I must say I was surprised at
the large number. In checking over
the list I found that many families
had all their sons in the service,
further proof as to what a large
war this is.
Well, V-E day in Europe was met
here without any celebration, there
is no place to celebrate it for one
reason, but the main reason was
that all the men over here realize
that there is yet a huge task before
us in this theater of war. Accord
ing to the radio the Japs have con
sidered Okinawa lost and are ex
pecting an invasion of Japan itself.
The Japs don't seem to consider sur
rendering, they are very fanatical
and love to die for their emporer
and have such a determination that
their cause is right, In fighting a
war against people like that we will
find it a very hard fight before
final victory. In comparison, pic
ture in your own mind if the mil
lions of Germans who surrendered
would have fought until they were
killed how much longer the war in
Europe would have
there is one thing that may shake
the Nips' belief a little, that is when
they are confronted with the power
of the armies in Europe instead of
a few divisions of men who have
been waging war successfully
against them. They may finally
the light and decide they are
fighting for a lost cause. I hope
they do, so this war can end soon.
In closing will again say thanks
to the Laurel people for sending me
the Outlook.

P.F.C. George H. Shearer, Assam
Province, India, June 2, 1945:
In my case I feel that "dear edi
tors," would be a little too imper
sonal as after all I spent many
a happy hour working and talking
w r ith you when I was a high school
"journalist." I fear that my jour
nalistic abilities were over estimated
but I sure had fun trying.
The Outlooks are coming through
fine now and I read them very
eagerly. Although I find I do not
recall many of the names I get a
kick out of reading about them any
how. What I wouldn't give to be
home and be able to get acquainted
with all the new people,
renew old acquaintances,
time doesn't change the old town
too much. You know I think that
is one thing we dread most about
this war, is coming home
and finding things changed. Like
our family, the old landmarks, and
all that means home to us. The
paper helps keep us abreast of
those changes a little.
I am sending a page from our
"Hump Express" and it shows what
a climate we have here. It is in
deed a rough one and as changeable
as a woman. One minute it is rain
ing and the next it is hotter than
blazes. At least r have that much

We had a nice thing happen to
us here, we got in 'Coca-Cola. Boy,
I don't mind sweating out that line.
It is really states-side stuff and
gives us something to look forward
to each day along with mail call.

the war.

combat crewman at Biggs Field, a

El Paso. He and the other mem

signed to an overseas organization
for combat missions against the
Japanese.
Lieut. Neoma Thome, A. N. C.,
Baxter General Hospital, Spokane,
Wash., June 10, 1945:
I wish to thank you for being so
very thoughtful and sending me the
Laurel Outlook. Its the only possi
ble way one is able to keep in con
tact with social activities of Laurel.
Despite the liquid sunshine that
Washington apparently has more
than a plentiful supply of, I find
that the people are very friendly,
and I've enjoyed my army life, even
the basic training, where I discov
ered the infantry isn't the only
place you learn to walk.

Point Days.
EUGENE, ORE.—Col. Robert M.
Lyon, U. S. army, retired, and now
living in Eugene, doesn't say, "I
knew him when," but, "I knew them
when," and he means Gen. Douglas
j MacArthur, a former classmate;
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Gen.
Omar Bradley Jr., and Lieut. Col.
Henry J. F. Miller, all former stu
dents of his.
Colonel Lyon was in MacArthur's
class at West Point, '03, and both
went to the Philippine Islands after
graduation. He remembers Mac
Arthur as the most popular man in
the class.
Returning to West Point to teach
in 1911-12, he had Eisenhower, Brad
ley, and Miller in his history and
tactics course and in military engi
neering.
"Eisenhower I remember distinct
ly as a big, straight, square-shoul
dered boy who would stand up in
the recitation room and look the in
structor squarely in the eye as he
made his recitation. He gave one
the impression of power, the ability
to do things and to stand on his own
two feet."
Colonel Lyon recalls Bradley as
"another of the same type—tall,
lanky, a good scholar who took his
work seriously. In athletics he was
a ball player and as I remember, an
excellent pitcher."
Miller was also in this class of '15
and Colonel Lyon recognized him
by his picture, but had no special
comment to make about him except
"he was a classmate of Eisenhower,
Bradley, Ryder, McNarney and oth
ers who have made a high place for
themselves, and was assigned to the
cavalry upon graduating."
Colonel Lyon himself has led an
adventuresome life. He served in
the Philippines, as a lieutenant colo
nel in France during World War I,
in Cuba for two years, in Hawaii two
different times, taught at West Point
three times, and was commander of
the ROTC unit at the University of
Oregon for four years before his re
tirement in 1942.
