o’clock in the morning darkness.
with shells sailing over your
head and you lying in a wet
fox-hole.”
Asked how he got out of
“tight places”, Sgt. Gentry put
it this way, “Well, you see, I was
in a tight place all the time. I
stayed out for as many as twen
ty-one days without changing
my clothes; and the beard on my
face iwas so long I had to take
scissors to clip it before I could
shave.” Thefre were, however,
rest camps away from front
lines.
“Compared with the Japs”,
says Sgt. Gentry, “we have su
perior equipment and our boys
are far superior in courage. The
Japs have a few tricks, but we
are getting wise to them, and
with good officers to lead them,
our boys are doing a good job.
And it is a pleasure to say that
ground forces are proud of the
Air Forces supporting them in
attacks”.
There are some fighters who do
not wear uniforms. They are the
natives, the ones who wear grass
skirts and put their hair in pom
padours, and think nothing of
putting great packs on their
backs and crawling up steep
slopes that are slick with mud.
"These natives”. Gentry adds,
are friendly to Americans, and a
great help, carrying supplies over
trails where every vine covered
tree may conceal a Jap sniper.
The natives just dig their long
toes into the mud and go right
on. pack and all. In no other way
could we have gotten our sup
plies in in tough spots.”
“But. until the Americans
came,” according to Gentry,
“matches were unknown to the
natives, and although they live
in rain-proofed, thatched huts,
they do not know what a nail is
for. They live in the jungles,
where they secure their food.
They eat the fruits that grow
there and sometimes catch fish
from the waters, or, again, they
may run down one of the many
wild hogs that roam the land;
when they cook they use hot
coals and their hog-meat tastes
much like our barbecue.”
"The most welcomed thing
from home at Guadalcanal is
mail, and I want the people here
to know it,” says Gentry, who j
also thinks the job the American
Red Cross is doing measures up
to all the words of praise that
he can command. “I will never
forget how, once, when I was in
the front lines, the Red Cross,
with the gift of a package con
taining cigarettes, candy and
other things, made me realize
that the folks back home had not
forgotten us.”
“And getting Roxboro papers—
The Times, and the Courier
was good, too. They helped me to
know about things at home, when
any news from home was really
appreciated.”
‘The worst thing of all ‘over
there’ was seeing my buddies
die in those jungles and on bat
tle fields”, is the way Gentry
ends his story, “and the hardest
thing (for me) was to leave the
rest of my buddies over there —
so keep on fighting those Japs!”

ACCIDENT CASES NOT YET
SETTLED SAYS PATROLMAN
(continued from front page)
War I and a tenant on the W. A.
Sergent farm, is said to have
almost cleared the highway at
the intersection at Long’s store,
having been coming from Mount
Zion church. Oakley claims that
Russell’s lights were dim and that
he did not see Russell’s machine
until he was almost upon it.
The bus stopped within four
teen steps _of the spot where it
struck the Ford. Oakley reported
his own speed was about thirty
miles an hour. Spot where the
accident occured is slightly up
grade. The wreck is said to have
occured near midnight.
C. A. Long, store owner, who
was asleep when the crash hap
pened, said that Russell and
members of his family were en
route to Roxboro before he was
able to dress and come to the
scene.
Virginia Trailways officials
from Durham came to the place
of the accident early Friday
morning and assisted the invest
igation. The bus was damaged
some at the front and the right
side of Russell’s Ford was knock
ed in. Oakley comes through
Roxboro twice each day in mak
ing the Durham-Danville run.
