Before being assigned to the "Magic Carpet" fleet, which includes more than 250 of the larger ships engaged in carrying veterans back from the Pacific, the Vincennes had stalked the Japs across more than 125,000 miles of ocean in her 16 months of action. The ship was credited with singing a Jap cruiser in San Bernadino Straits, in one of the most unusual surface engagement of the war. It was pitch-black night when the Jap ship was sighted, and the crew related afterward that it never had a chance to fire a shot, so surprising was the Vincennes' attack. That task was accomplished in less than 20 minutes. James R. Fassel In Japan With 'Red Arrow' Division Word has been received of the arrival in Japan of T/5 James R.

Everybody reads The Gazette Did you ever watch an Edison lineman climb a pole? It looks pretty easy. It takes four years of training before an Edison man can be a lineman, first class. His instruction is mighty careful. His safety training goes on the time—for his own protection and for the safety of the rest of the line gang. Edison linemen keep up ahead in ways of working "hot" lines. Edison has kept up ahead for more than 50 years in the electrical business—each year adding to the betterment of its service. It is a stockholder-owned (93,000 of them) independent company. It is managed and operated by Californians. There are 3,500 people on the Edison payroll. All of them, like the linemen, are trained for Edison business—which is to provide you with the world's best electrical service at a low price. Wilbur A.
