AGE FOUR THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1945 Sic Don E. Snyder Writes From Picific Mr. and Mrs. Andy Snyder of this city have received a' very interesting- letter from their son, S 1-C Donald E. Snyder, telling1 of some of the places he has visited since leav ing the U. S. for the Pacific theatre of warfare; that is as follows: Somewhere in the Facific February 14, 1945 "At Sea" Dear Folks, Thought I would write a few lines tonight and let you know I'm still O. K. I'm still on day duty and! those days get longer all the time. There's one jood thing about it though, it gives you a full nights leep in your rack. The reason I'm on day duty is because they need five signalmen on the bridge at all times, so they give the rated men the watches. They stand four hours on and eight hours off; this gives them a little more time to themselves but they never get used to their hours as they change to a different watch so often. Since we've been out thev've had more flag hoists than usual, and that is what I'm sharp on, if I do say so myself. The first class said I was the best spotter he had and that's pretty good coming from him. Just call me "Eagle Eye". I've been informed that we can say where we've been up to pretty recently. I'll start off with leaving Pearl Harbor, in case you haven't guessed. We left Pearl early last spring and sailed for Majuro Mar shall Islands), stayed there a while, joined up with our outfit and sailed for New Guinea, on the way back hitting Truk and Ponape (Marshal's and Carolines). Then we hit Marcus and Wake Islands returning to port. After this we changed from Majuro to Eniwetok, (Marshalls, also); herei I met Don Steppat who has shore duty there. This starts in our oper ations cn Saipan, Guam, Rota and Tinian; you know what happened here. We spent all summer here, only once in a while when we hit the Eonins, right next to Japan. We've hit Palau and some other places I'd better not mention as yet. Going by this and the news, you ought to have a fair idea where I am and who I'm with. They tell me that rates a few service stars too, but don't know .how many. From the papers I've been with Ralph Hilt, Joe Highfield, Tom Gradoville, etc. and you know about them. Despite all the places I've been I'm still O.K., not scared nor shell shocked nor "Drifty" as yet. I'm sure I'll be O.K. as I'm with the best outfit in the world and it is far from small, too. Don't believe anything the Japs say or any other propaganda of any kind, because it's probably vice versa. Anyway you will be in formed if anything goes wrong. Well, I've said about all if not too much for tonight, so had better stop. I'm still hoping to see you before too long. "Gotta" knock off now; tell every one "Hello" and take care of your selves. Lots of Love Don E. Snyder, S 1-C Pfc. Howard Hirz Is With Iwo Marines Word has been received from Cpl Howard F. Hirz by his wife, and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hirz, in a letter written March 6th that he is fighting with the 5th Marine Division on Iwo Jma. Hob states that the first troops landed the morning of D-Day at 9:30 and his outfit hit the beach at 11:45 A. M. While writing this letter from his foxhole, Hob said twenty-four army fighter planes landed on the first air strip and it was a welcome tight for all. Hob went on to say that radio :news would give a better description pf what was going on on the island of Iwo Jima than he could in a let ter written from a foxhole with a limited amount of time.

In these states there was a 21r,'c gain in membership this last year. She spoke of Camp Fire Girls work as only one of several youth agencies, but that all these agencies together are not reaching all needs. This is not the fault of their program, nor of the boys and girls but the fault of the parents in the comunity. Distinctive features of Canm Fire organizations are that they were started by educators. Their program is a feminine pro gram, stressing the home, helping them to like home work. It also de velopes the individual attitudes and ideals of the girls. Asking the ques tion "What are we doing to meet these needs of our young girls? "This organization is building up their morale. It is meeting the ned of these young girls. It is helping to keep them normal during this war It is teaching them to give and take." She suggested that each group of Campfire, girls should have three sponsors, one finance sponsor, one program sponsor and one out door sponsor. Following the meeting: with the mothers Mrs. Noid met with the Campfire girls and the Blue birds. Mrs. Thomas Siacey is leader of the Ikicsga group of Campfire girls, and Mrs. Richmond Hobson is leader of the Morning Glory Blu? Birds.
