Pearl Harbor Now One of World’s Largest Shipyards; Workers Needed Sgt. Thomas Allan Designs Ashtray From Brass Shells Thomas Allan, sr., of 519 South Clementine street, has a souvenir ashtray that he prizes very highly. Not only because of its beautiful design and practicality but also because one of his soldier sons made it for him as a gift. When Sgt. Thomas Allan, Jr., was home last fall from his base in Camp Maxey, Texas, he presented it to his father. The ashtray stands about eight inches high and is made from various kinds of brass and copper shells. The base forms the ashtray and atop a standard is a P-38 airplane, complete in each detail even to the movable propellor shafts. Sgt. Allan has already made several of these and presented them to close friends. Robert Coolidge Dies Overseas Another Anaheim son has given his life in the service of his country while on overseas duty.
