Anaheim Yank Comes and Goes Via Same Pier Getting his first glimpse of the U. S. A., upon his return from the war, at the same pier from which he bid it goodbye 17 months before was the experience of Sgt. Edson L. Mickle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Mickle, 1218 Lincoln avenue, who recently arrived home, after discharge at Ft. McArthur. Mickle disembarked at Newport News, Va. Looking around, realization came to him that he stood on the same dock from which his outfit boarded ship, en route for Africa and battle training, almost a year and a half before. Born here, he went through elementary school and attended high school in Anaheim. His family then moved to Long Beach and he was inducted there three years ago. He served in the mechanized cavalry and had charge of a reconnaissance group, which included 11 men, two armored cars and a jeep. Most of his battle experience was in the Italy campaign. His organization was "out in front" in the drive on Rome, although they by-passed it, as is customary in such service, after helping to prepare the scene for the hard-driving infantry. Navy Doctor Who Saw Record Jap Raid Visits Here Comm. A. M. McDermott, a practicing physician at North Hollywood prior to entering the navy three years ago, with Mrs. McDermott and their three daughters, is visiting his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. William C. McDermott, Jr., manager of the Valencia hotel, and his parents Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McDermott, Sr., of Santa Ana. Commander McDermott was discharged recently at Farragut, Ia., and expects to resume his practice at North Hollywood soon after the first of the year. He served 18 months aboard a troop transport in the Pacific, being one of two United States navy doctors assigned to the vessel, a Dutch ship with an all-Dutch crew. Commander McDermott was present in Tulagi harbor when Jap suicide pilots staged their biggest raid of the entire war, and more than 100 of their planes shot out of the skies. Another McDermott brother also is serving in the navy. He is Lt. Comm. K. F. McDermott, a practicing physician of Grand Island, Neb., now stationed in the Marshall island group as a flight surgeon. He also entered the navy about three years ago. Earle M. Fairchild Coast Guard Vet Would Live Here Anaheim's growing population increased another point when Frank Wehringer arrived recently for a visit with his mother, Mrs. Louise Perkins, 217 East Adele street. He likes the town so well that he has decided to locate here if he can find suitable employment. Recently discharged from the Coast Guard, in which he enlisted at New Orleans early in January, 1942, immediately following Pearl Harbor, Wehringer is enjoying a vacation before attempting to capitalize on his education and experience as a graduate engineer and tool maker. His service with the Coast Guard was spent in the air-sea rescue arm, where he had rating as a machinist mate. Most time was spent in the Gulf of Mexico, and busiest portion was while German submarines were playing havoc with American shipping, often virtually within sight of shore. Wehringer attended elementary school near Potsdam, Germany, about 20 years ago, he having gone there with his mother on a visit to her mother, and remaining after Mrs. Perkins returned to the United States. Edward Naffziger On First Tanker To Reach Okinawa Edward Joseph Naffziger, fireman first class, USNR, route 3, Anaheim, helped with others serving on the station tanker USS Marmora, to carry enough gasoline to Okinawa to drive the average car 54,000,000 miles, or from New York to San Francisco 16,-000 times. When the Marmora arrived at Okinawa in May, she was the first all-gasoline station tanker to appear off the beaches. Commissioned in December, 1944, the tanker sailed from Oahu to Saipan, arriving in February with more than 3,000,000 gallons of aviation gasoline. It was just a short time after this trip that she was dispatched from Ulithi in the western Carolines to provide fuel for the fighting fleet at Okinawa. Three Anaheim Men And Who Is The With You, Jimmy JUNIOR VETERAN air elder is 18-month-old Jilson of Mary Carlisle, for movie star, shown arriving the West for a visit. Jilson has his own "shortsnoe bearing hundreds of famous names, most prized which is that of Admiral Nimitz. Jap suicide pilots staged their biggest raid of the entire war, and more than 100 of their planes shot out of the skies. Another McDermott brother also is serving in the navy. He is Lt. Comm. K. F. McDermott, a practicing physician of Grand Island, Neb., now stationed in the Marshall island group as a flight surgeon. He also entered the navy about three years ago. Earle M. Fairchild Cited for Work With Seabees in Luzon Earle M. Fairchild, of 112 South Citron st., Anaheim, Calif., with other members of the 115th Naval Construction Battalion has won commendation for his work at Luzon, where they were called upon to complete emergency repairs and landing strips while exposed to large caliber shelling and Jap air attacks, the Navy has announced. Working in areas that had not yet been announced as "secured," the Seabees set up camp and radio facilities. Then, after the Japs had been driven out, they repaired the pre-war water supply for the area, and erected the major part of the buildings for that base. The Seabee outfit previously had seen action at Wilne Bay, New Guinea, late in 1943. There, for four months, they worked around the clock, seven days a week, handling as many as 63 projects at the same time, and never falling short of a deadline on any of them. Records of the outfit show that at Milne, its members laid the equivalent of two square miles of concrete slabs, eight inches thick, and logged and milled more than 1,000,000 feet of native lumber of all sizes in a single mill. Everybody reads The Gazette. Three Anaheim Men Arrive Home on 'Magic Carpet' Fleet Three Anaheim servicemen were among the 1580 high point army and navy veterans returning to the United States in the "Magic Carpet" fleet, composed of more than 250 carriers, battleships, cruisers and attack transports, which left Pearl Harbor Nov. 6, and arrived in San Diego Nov. 12. They were Pfc. Joseph D. Wallin, husband of Mrs. Geraldine A. Hagerbaumer of 311 East Ellsworth street, who arrived on the U.S.S. Maryland and Sgt. Walter H. Townsend who was on the U.S.S. West Virginia. The men went directly to the separation centers nearest their homes to complete the formalities of obtaining their discharges before returning to civilian life. DISTRICT COUPLE'S SON JOINS MERCHANT MARINE Norman M. Chambers, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. McCold, route I, joined the United States maritime service Wednesday at Long Beach.
