ting ready to go to work at the
Remington Arms Corporation,
where he had been employed as a
guard the last three years.
Cpl. and Mrs. Grant Peacock of

Anybody around Emmet know
“Duke”? Well, Duke is a longish,
little white dog with black and
brown splotches all over his short
sleek coat. He has lately dug up
a bit of notoriety for himself and
goes about nowadays with that
“nobody loves me" look. This par
ticular representative of man’s
best friend belongs to the Cole
family and left shut up in the
Buick one night last week. The
results were terrible and most dis
heartening. In his efforts to es
cape from the car, the little dog
ripped the upholstery on the roof
and around the doors of the car.
It will probably be some time be
fore the interior of the car can
be properly repaired.
Vincent Cederburg and family,
who have been working on the

By
Dr. A. L. Miller,
M. C.
On Tuesday, November 23, my
secretary, Mr. Huyck, and I called
on all those in the armed forces
from the Fourth Nebraska Dis
trict whom we knew to be in the
hospitals in Washington. At Wal
ter Reed Hospital we found Sgt.
Milton K. Williams, who bailed
out of a flying fortress when it
was returning from a bombing
mission over Germany. Sergeant
Williams was in a cheerful mood
as he told how lucky he was to
have picked such a good place in
which to land. It was only a short
distance from a Catholic hospital.
When the Germans who picked
him up rushed him there the
nurses was out in front waiting
for him with a stretcher and his
injuries were immediately treat
ed. He praised the care and at
tention he received and the many
little favors he was given even
though the supplies at the hos
pital were severely limited. He
also praised the work of the En
glish doctors—prisoners of war—
who were taking care of wounded
American and British prisoners in
German army hospitals. Although
he has suffered the loss of his left
foot, he feels extremely lucky to
be back in the States and soon to
be released from the hospital. Ser
geant Williams grew up at North
Platte. Nebr., where his mother,
Mrs. Mabel G. Williams, still lives.
At the new Naval Medical Cen
ter in Bethesda, Mainland, a short
distance from the District line, we
found Yoeman Third Class Edna
Cool, whose mother, Mrs. Cynthia
Blain, lives at Oshkosh, where
Miss Cool graduated from high
school. Yoeman Cool has almost
recovered from the after effects
of a bad coHand is almost ready
to return to duty in the Bureau
of Personnel here in Washington.
She took her boot training at
Hunter College, N. Y., and later
was stationed at Millegeville, Ga.,
and Stillwater, Okla. She is very
enthusiastic about her work and
is anxious to get back on the job.
Also at the Naval Medical Cen
ter wq visited wi*h Guy Nesmith,
whose mother, Mrs. R. Roberts,
lives at Loup City, Nebr. Before
his illness he was stationed at the
Navy Yards in Washington. He is
recovering from an appendectomy
and is almost ready to return to
duty. All the patients were pleas
ed with the care and treatment
they were receiving at the hos
pitals.
