Leatherneck Praises Comrades’
Heroic Defense Of
Wake Island
Pvt, Carl K, Carey, son of Mrs.
Leo Carey, Main Road, Trucksville,
stationed with the United States
Marines at New River, North Caro-
lina, has forwarded the following
poem written by a comrade.
Semper Fidelis
By Michael Baker, U. S. M. C.
A life in a Hell that once was Wake,
The United States Marines
Carry a flag, and a cause, and a
gun,
And a fight beyond their means.
They wipe the sweat from streaming
brows
And doubt from their pounding
hearts;
A lookout growls: “The Japs Again!”
And again the battle starts.
His helmet shadow cuts his jaw
Of the soldier unafraid
As he hunches forward, minding
not,
The bullet's serenade.
Against the charge of the fighting
Yanks—
It matters not how few
The Japs, with water in their veins,
Lost courage, quit, withdrew.
tried ‘my pile
ILES £5
Write B. G. Laskowski,
Trucksville, R. F. D.
Don’t have your
piles operated on
until you have
A thin firm line of khaki
Leans against the sea,
Blood, and Yankee do-or-die
Have kept Wake Island free!
Old Glory against the setting sun,
The mournful call of “Taps”.
Semper Fidelis, and comes the call;
“Send us some more Japs’,
An order barked! Alert He bounds
Across the burning sands,
Hate of the treacherous in his heart
And a rifle in his hand.
Beside him a buddy spins, and
drops—
Without a grunt or pain;
With only a smile as a nerveless
hand
Covers a spreading stain.
He leaps ahead; his thoughts “are
raw
Behind his burning gaze:
“I'll get one for you, Leatherneck,
If it takes me all my days.
Now! Just ahead he sees the foe
A landing on the beach,
‘His heart swells up as he feel his
gun :
Grow hot around the breach.
They close in fast. He knows fate’s
kiss
As a bullet nips his cheek,
His grin is Death as under his steel
A slant-eyed Jap grows weak.

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.¥: |
auto road and had to leave the car.
We were traveling up stream, the
road and stream running parallel in
a narrow valley with high moun-
tains on both sides reaching twelve
hundred feet above the road. But,
we were not at our desired destina-
tion, so all supplies were strapped
to our shoulders and the march was
on. We followed the creek up the
valley about three miles where we
found a log road crossing the creek.
Here.we made camp.
There were seven in all, each do-
ing his or her share of the work,
gathering wood, putting up a large
canvas top in the trees for shelter,
building a fire, getting water from
a nearby spring and cooking, This
was to be our base camp for we
were in search of “Lost Lake.” This
was one of the many hikes we had
taken looking for the wonderful
things nature has provided in the
large swamps of Pennsylvania.
As a boy I heard a woodsman
tell of following a certain path
across North Mountain. He would
come upon a large pond or lake and
would change his direction to go
around the body of water, for it
| was very deep. At another time,
some other woodsman would be fol-
lowing this same path and never see
the lake, so many conflicting stories
arose about this “Lost Lake.”
We were anxious to investigate
these stories for ourselves and the
hike was for that purpose.
Just as we got things nicely
started for our dinner, a terrible
thunder storm came up out of the
West and a driving rain beat down
upon us. What a storm! Well, after
eating and the rain having ceased,
we left the creek and followed the
log 10ad. (Many years since logs
came down this road.) We went up
the mountain side one thousand
feet high to the very top. At times
the going was quite steep but most-
ly the grade was fair and walking
was not difficult. It was early May
and walking was pleasant, but at
another time of year it would not
have been so pleasant for we went
snakes.
Arriving at the peak after about
one and one-half hours of climbing,
we came to a large basin. All sides
of the land sloped to one point.
The timber had all been removed
but some old stumps and dead trees
were scattered about. Young spruce
trees, Huckleberry bushes, young
hardwood trees and small under-
brush was abundant. (No road now
through “tms loggie marsh.) I
haven’t space to tell about the good
humor we enjoyed and the wild
flowers we found, but suffice to say,
on all of our hikes we were on the
alert to find Sundew and this was
the day we were to find this beauty.
While walking through this swamp,
stepping from bog to bog, on the
side of an old rotten, moss-eaten
log, my eyes were attracted to small
sparkling stones (so I thought) but
after careful examination, I found
them to be sparkling dew on the
leaves of a very small plant growing
on the log. The whole plant with
its six or more round leaves was
not larger than a silver half dollar
and from the center sprang up a 5-
inch spike with white flowers. This
was the Sundew (Drosera) a carni-
vorous plant whose leaves are thick-
ly covered with hairy glands that
exude a sticky substance. The dew-
like drops deceive insects into
alighting on the leaves. Having
caught a victim, the leaf slowly
folds about it and as the insect de-
composes, it is absorbed by the
plant.
Journeying on a few steps, we
discovered a camouflaged Woodcock
and her nest at the base of an old
stump . . . the first Woodcock nest
I had ever found . . . we did not dis-
turb her, but went on to a flat sec-
tion of this thirty or more acre
swamp, where the vegitation was
came upon a narrow path which
looked like a Deer runway .
possibly this was the same path
the woodsman took years before
. . we were walking single file
(Indian style), I was bringing up
the rear, and being some distance
behind, looking ahead, I could see
the ones in front bobbing up and
down like corks. Calling a halt and
upon reaching them, I told of my
discovery. Finding a long pointed
pole we pierced the ground under-
neath us and found that this pole
could easily be pushed out of sight.
We were actually over the water...
this vegitation was growing on root
formation, so thick, you could not
see the water under you, and so
strong that it held all of us to-
gether and you would think you
were on solid ground. When walk-
ing, you could see the one in front
of you bobbing up and down . . .
we had found “Lost Lake.”
There. was but a small channel
where the water could be seen.
When there is plenty of rain and
snow the water rises over this
vegitation and forms a lake. One
following this path at such times,
must detour and when the weather
is dry this formation settles down
and is quite dry. The basin hav-
ing no outlet causes this phenome-
non.

What, Don’t The Girls Write?
Dear Editor:
I want to thank you for sending
the Post to me. Being in the hos-
pital for three weeks, The Post sure
did pep me up. Talk about news,
The Post is the best news I get.
Thanking you again, I am,
Charles R. Mekeel,
Fort Jackson, S. C,
You Certainly Can
Editor and Publisher:
Your interest in matters affecting
the welfare of the Back Mountain
area is well known. I am therefore
requesting the assistance of The
Dallas Post in obtaining bus service
for the people of the area between
Hillside and Harvey's Lake for the
duration of the war and after the
war. Many residents whose tires
are wearing out are faced with the
prospect of moving into town. Every
time one of our neighbors moves
every one in the area loses.
I would like to suggest a mass
meeting to be held at some central
point to consider the procedure to
be followed to secure transportation
for the people between Hillside and
Harveys Lake. If neither of the
transportation companies can be in-
terested, we will organize a bus
line of our own.
May we count on your assis-
tance ? I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Clyde M, Cooper,
Dallas Road,
Lehman, Pa.
Post Follows Him
Editor The Post:
Please accept my thanks for your
thoughtfulness in sending the Post
to me. I received my first copy at
Fort Bragg, N. C., and it was nice
to know what was going on back
home. Since then the Post has fol-
lowed me here. Through your paper
I have found where many of my for-
mer schoolmates are stationed. So
thanks again for myself and all the
boys.

Writer Hears From Hawaii
Editor The Post:
Comment on the article in the
Post on February 13 concerning the
boys from Dallas Township who are
serving in the Armed Forces has all
been favorable. Friends and rela-
tives of the fellows were happy and
proud to find a record of them pub-
i lished in Dallas’s own paper. Many
friends offered bits of news about
the boys and what they are deing.
Their interest is, of course, highly
appreciated, but until this week
there had been no comment by the
Dallas boys themselves. On Monday
the writer of the item received a
letter, via Clipper, from Private
John Garbutt, Hickam Field. Hoping
that John doesn’t mind, here it is:
Dear Dale,
This letter will be as much of
a surprise to you as your article
in The Dallas Post was to me,
Until I saw the article I did
not know who was where.
Now don’t think I'm conceit-
ed or anything but who, other
¢han myself and possibly Keats
Poad, has seen REAL ACTION,
and I' mean just that!
The only boys outside of the
States are Peanuts (Gordon)
Austin, Kamor, and myself.
It must have been quite a
job locating all the fellows etc.
and I think you did a good job.
In case you ever want to
write any more articles like
that, I'll give you a little of my
history.
I enlisted June 30, 1940.
Left for Hawaii August 28,
1940, Went through aircraft
mechanics school and have ex-
perience on all the newer type
aircraft and a few old ones.
I was in the thick of the
“eggs” Dec. 7, and had a
“ducking” good time of it.
Well, that’s enough of that.
Give my regards to Mr. Sny-
der (papa now) and tell him I
follow the F. F. A. activities
pretty closely. He's doing a
swell job of it.
We are only allowed one
page for each letter and I can’t
tell military secrets so I'll close.
A graduate of good old D, T.
H. S.
Private John R. Garbutt,
31st Bombardment Sqdn.,
Hickam Field, Hawaii,
March 7, 1942.
Well, thanks, John, we appreci-
ate your thoughtfulness and your
interest. Thanks, too, for the facts.
And we'd like to hear from the rest
of the Dallas Township gang who
are in the Army. May the Dallas
Post always remind you that we
are behind you, 100%.
