Pvt. Grant Member
Of 35th Engineers
HOA DAI, VIETNAM (AHT
NC)- Four months ago Private
First Class Oliver G. Grant’s
unit, the 35th Engineer Battalion,
placed concertina wire around
the hamlet of Hoa Dai, Vietnam,
to protect it from the Viet Cong.
The only trouble was the wire
blocked the main access road the
villagers used to take their pro
duce to market.
After the village chief inform
ed authorities of the problem.
Grant, 18, son of Mrs. Ruth M.
Biddix, 616 E. Louisiana Ave.,
Bessemer City, N. C., and other
members of the battalion’s Com
pany D were given the task of
building up the access road so
the Vietnamese could pass over
the wire rather than try to cross
through rice paddies.
The engineers hauled 3,000
cubic yards of fill and built two
drainage culverts during the four
day project.
With completion of the two
mile stretch of road early this
month villagers are now able to
drive their carts to and from
market with loads of rice, char
coal baskets and vegetables.
The private is a combat con
struction specialist in the com
pany.

Heads
Why your son
will be bored
when you give him
an Accutron* timepiece
for graduation.
1. He’ll have just two chances a year to fiddle with it. One,
when he turns it ahead an hour for daylight saving time.
And
2. When he turns it back again for standard time. Be
cause the springs and things that make a watch run fast or
slow have been taken out of the Accutron movement.
3. And that’s why it’s a bore for us, too. We can’t show off by
repairing sprung springs, stopped wheels and worn watch
works. Accutron has replaced them with a tuning fork that
may never need replacing.
. 4. He can’t bet on Accutron time. At least not without feel
ing guilty. Because we guarantee he’ll be right. Within one
minute a month.**
5. He’ll yawn when his boss presents him with a gold watch
25 years from now. Because his Accutron timepiece will still
be accurate.
What a bore.
