OVANCE IN JACKSON COUNTY Boys Were m Francisco r's Big Battle Two Sylva boys, John and George McLain are members of the crew of the San Francisco, the great ship that led the fight in the greatest Naval battle of the present war, and a smashing defeat of the Japanese in the Solomons Islands area. The San Francisco suffered slight damage^ and some thirty men, including Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan lost their lives when a Japanese airship div ed into her. John and George McLain have been in the Navy for several years. They are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred N. McLain of Sylva. The ship has been recommended for decoration for gallant service. President Roosevelt, in a radio address, Tuesday night, referred to the San Francisco in glowing terms. He said: "A powerful Japanese force was moving toward our positions in the Solomon islands. The spear head of the force that we sent to intercept the enemy was under i!*j command of Admiral Daniel .7 Callaghan. He was aboard the leading ship, the San Francisco, cisco. "The San Francisco sailec right into the enemy fleet-hei silenced this battleship's big guns and so disabled her that she could be sunk by torpedoes from our destroyers and aircraft, hit three enemy vessels, sinking one of them. At point-blank range, she engaged an enemy battleship?heavily her superior in size and fire-power. She silenced She sillenced this bat tleship's big guns and so disabled her that she could be sunk by torpedoes from our destroyers and aircraft. "The San Francisco herself was hit many times. Admiral Callaghan, my close personal friend, and many of his gallant officers and men gave their lives in this battle. But, the San Francisco was brought safely back to por; by a lieutenant commander and she will fight again for our country. "The commander of the task force of which the San Francisco was a part has recommended that she be the first of our navy's vessels to be decorated for outstanding service. "But there are no citations, no medals, which carry with them such high honor as that accorded to fighting men by the respect of their comrades-in-arms. "The commanding general of the marines on Guadalcanal, 1 General Vandergrift, yesterday sent a message to the command| er of the fleet, Admiral Halsey, i saying, 'We lift our battered helmets in admiration for those who , fought magnificently against overwhelming odds and drove the enemy back to crushing defeat'. "Let us thank God for such men as these. May our nation continue to be worthy of them, throughout this war, and forever". TWO HAMBURG MEN FROM SAME SHIP VISIT FOLKS AT HOME Harold W. Monteith and Julius M. Breedlove, both of whom are members of the U. S. S. California, have been visiting their parents at Glenville. Both of these young men were at Pearl Harbor on the 7th of last December, when the Japanese sneak attack started thje war, and young Monteith was 1 ' ' ?i J _ i.: reported as missing 111 action. Breedlove is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Breedlove of Glenville, and Monteith is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Monteith.
