OUR BOYS WITH THE COLORS and THEIR SISTERS IN THE COUNTRY'S SERVICE Service Men and Women on Leave May Register, Vote According to Marshall E. Beebe, Republican county leader, it has been learned here that men and women of the armed forces who happen to be on leave and who may not be registered and have not sent in an absentee ballot, may go the court house and register and vote at any time during their stay in the county. It is presumed that many of the men and women in the armed forces, on account of frequent changes of address, may not have received their absentee ballots, and many others are not registered. Under the new ruling they will have an opportunity to vote, before election day if necessary, but all such voting will be done at the court house in Santa Ana only. Anaheim Marine Gets Air Medal For Pacific Bombing Assisting in the sinking of a Japanese troop transport in the Buena Park Coast Guardsmen Receive Navy-Marine Medal for Eniwetok By Leland Bickford Coast Guard Correspondent ON AN ISLAND SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC (SPECIAL) — Upon the personal recommendation of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, USN, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, Coast Guardsman Howard R. Larsen, seaman, first class, of Buena Park, California, was presented the coveted Navy and Marine Corps Medal. The presentation was made by Captain Floyd J. Sexton "in the name of the President of the United States." Larson was recommended for the honor following the landing at Parry Island, Eniwetok Atoll, in the Marshall Islands. He displayed outstanding heroism by entering the hold of a ship which had suffered a direct hit by enemy bombing planes and rendered assistance to wounded men. By entering the ship and removing the casualties, although she was afire and still under attack, he saved the lives of several men. The original citation, signed by Admiral Nimitz states: "For heroism in rendering assistance to wounded personnel during landing operations at Parry Island, Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands. While a vessel was burning as the result of a direct hit and in probable danger of further explosions, Larson went aboard the vessel and rendered assistance to wounded and others at a time when the ship's personnel were unable to do so. His courageous action undoubtedly resulted in the prevention of loss of life of many of those injured. His conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval reserve." Anaheim Marine Gets Air Medal For Pacific Bombing Assisting in the sinking of a Japanese troop transport in the Solomons early last year is one of the deeds that has brought the Air Medal to Marine Captain Coot H. Nelson, 25, of Anaheim. The Marine Corps announced award of the medal today. A first lieutenant at the time, Nelson was attacking a convoy just north of Kolombangara Island on February 27, 1943. Although the ack-ack was intense and the ship was zigzagging desperately, Captain Nelson managed to drop his bombs close by the vessel. His maneuvering enabled his fellow pilots to lay their bombs in more vital spots. His wife, Bette, lives here at 279 East Center street. Bomber ‘Little Joe’ Named for Buena Park Youngster “Butch” Nixon, five-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nixon of 123 East Franklin Ave., Buena Park, has the honor and distinction of having the second bomber named for him by service men in foreign fields who are flying the big planes. “The Butch II” was forced down in Switzerland while returning to home base from its 48th raid over Germany. The youngster was a pal of all the pilots and crewmen when they were training at Long Beach field where his father is a civilian employee. With “Butch II” out of the war, another crew elected to remember the youngster and decided that “Little Joe,” his nickname, was the most appropriate name. So in bold, big letters, the name was painted on the side of the big ship. “Little Joe” has been on forty missions and has never had to turn back from a flight for any reason. It is a B-24 Liberator. AIRCRAFT REPAIRMAN SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND Word comes from “Somewhere in England,” that Pfc. Clair G.

His courageous action undoubtedly resulted in the prevention of loss of life of many of those injured. His conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval reserve.” Larson is the son of Martin Larson of Buena Park, California. He entered the Coast Guard Reserve on July 8, 1942, and has spent the past two years in the Pacific. At the time of his citation for bravery he was a member of the crew of a Coast Guard-manned attack Transport which was taking part in the operations t Eniwetok.
