Company K Men Returning After 3 Years' Absence There is added happiness in many an Anaheim home these days for gradually members of Anaheim's Company K of the National Guard, called to active duty in the summer of 1941, are home or are on their way home. Many of the Company K men served with the 185th infantry of the 40th division and during their three years' overseas fought in the hard and bitter New Guinea and Philippine campaigns. Now they are on their way back and the men and boys who formed the Vanguard are busy contacting the families of those who are yet to come and giving them vital first-hand information of those still absent. S/Sgt. Ray Wangrud, son of Mrs. Madga Wangrud of La Palma ave., is here after having received his honorable discharge from the army several weeks ago. Shortly after his graduation from Fullerton union high school he enlisted in Company K and with it trained at Camp Roberts and Ft. Lewis before the outfit went overseas in August of 1942. Pfc. Buster Kidder of Huntington Park, formerly of Anaheim, has been home on leave, but last week reported back to Ft. MacArthur to find out what awaits him, discharge or further orders. S/Sgt.

Local Seaman Sees Much Action Seamon Second Class Donaciano Tafolla, USNR, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Tafolla of this city, has seen a lot of action while serving aboard the USS Alabama and the action took him to the very shores of Japan where he helped to battle off a hornet's nest of enemy suicide planes as the 35,000-ton battleship smashed enemy installations. "The Mighty A" as the battlewagon is affectionately known among her crew, was pounded by heavy seas in a recent typhoon but came out undamaged. Lieutenant Visits Family Here Lt. Frank Del Giorgio left this week to return to the DeWitt Army hospital at Auburn, California, for further treatment, after having spent five days here with his wife, Madeline, and 15-month-old son, Anthony.

He entered the Army in March, 1942, and after receiving his training was sent to Hawaii. Shortly afterward he returned to the states and attended officer's training school after which he became an instructor at Camp Hood, Texas. While there he was taken ill and has spent many months in and out of hospitals. He is a graduate of Fullerton Union high school and junior college and Loyola university. Pfc. Buster Kidder of Huntington Park, formerly of Anaheim, has been home on leave, but last week reported back to Ft. MacArthur to find out what awaits him, discharge or further orders. S/Sgt.

Local Lieutenant Earns Hard-to-Get 'Blue Nose' Title The feat of crossing the Arctic circle is one that few men know and those who have accomplished it have earned the right to the distinctive title of "blue nose." Such is Lt. Maryin P. Thompson, Jr., first pilot of a long-range weather squadron based in Newfoundland. In a recent letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Thompson of 827 No. Lemon st., the "blue nose" lieutenant described the little village of Acuaeyer, located on about the 66th north latitude on the northern edge of Iceland. He wrote that it might be called the garden spot of the Arctic for the village is situated in a gorge between two mountain ranges about three thousand feet high. The weather is warm and balmy most of the year and near by natural hot springs furnish water for a splendid outdoor swimming pool. The little village also boasts a very exclusive resort hotel, serving the finest of meals for the many Icelanders who vacation there. In his letter Lt. Thompson was looking forward to spending a few days in this delightful spot of the Arctic. His present address is Lt. Marvin P., Thompson, Jr., 0-781455, 53rd Ren. Squadron, Long Range Weather (Flt.“B”), APO. 865 care of postmaster, New York City, N.Y. BACK FROM IOWA Mrs. Paul Davidson of South Illinois street has returned from a visit in Des Moines, Iowa, with her sister. Gary Berckelaer Writes of Front Line Fighting Friends have recently had word from Pfc. Gay Van Berckelaer, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Berckelaer of Cerritos avenue, who has been serving with the Army in the Pacific since July, 1944. Written early in August before the Japanese surrender, the soldier told something of his life in frontline warfare and how a pup tent isn't much protection against the heavy rainfall and the knee-deep mud. He is serving with the chemical warfare department. One of Anaheim Union High school's star athletes, he graduated in June, 1943, and immediately afterward entered the armed forces. Julius Schneider, Pioneer Resident, Dies Saturday The son of one of Anaheim's earliest pioneer families, Julius J. Schneider, passed away at his home, 125 North Clementine street; last Saturday at the age of 80. A native of Anaheim, he had lived in this city the greater part of his life. Surviving him is one son, J. J. Cleveland, and a sister, Mrs. Charles Vaughan of Los Angeles. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Schneider, came to Anaheim in the early 1860's and established a large vineyard in the northwest part of Anaheim. The acreage was later turned into a citrus ranch. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars' chapel and interment followed in Calvary cemetery. Rev. Graham Hunter of the Fullerton Presbyterian church officiated at the service.
