The 10-year old destroyer USS Lamson fought through Pearl Harbor to the landings at Ormoc Bay,
Leyte, before suffering any crippling damage. When war came, the vessel was with a task force west off
Hawaii, and from that time on she operated in the Pacific area. She was first damaged in the Cape
Gloucester landings in 1943. In December, 1944, the veteran destroyer was supporting the Ormoc Bay
landings when a Kamikaze struck her stack and exploded. Although apparently “done for,” the Lamson
was saved to participate in the latter part of the Iwo Jima campaign.

On last Thursday, May 30th,
a good number of the former

to do some much needed work and
to visit with each other. Hoes,
rakes and shovels were brought
and each family cleaned their own
lots then as much more as they
could: Each one took lunch and
at noon most of them gathered
under the old brush arbor to
break bread together .1 hope the
list of names of those present is
complete, Mr. and Mrs. Bryant
Daughtry, Mr. and Mrs. Russell
Fagg, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Branton,

happy occasions at this place, It
seemed as if we could hear the
good songs, sermons, and then
see the great crouds for the an-
nual picnic, Christmas tree pro-
gram, but all is just a memory
and ere long those who knew Oak
Hill will be gathered in the last
great round-up.
Miss Pauline Stagner made
plans for this gathering but due
to the illness of her father, none
of her family was abe to be pres-
nt. They were all sorely missed.

The boost follows an average
42% cents increase in the price

our troops made their landings on the shores of
Normandy. We well remember that dark day —
Elgin people spent the day in prayer and supplica-
tion for the lives of our brave men. We backed
that attack with all we had — the American people
bought millions and millions of War Bonds.
We won, and the war is over, but it’s STILL
important to keep on buying Bonds. U. S. Savings
Bonds they’re called now, and the purchase of
these bonds mean our future security.
