MRS. GEORGE GOSHAW
IN NOME HOSPITAL
Mrs. George Goshaw was
brought to the hospital last Satur
day by the Wien Airlines, who
made a special trip in answer to
an emergency call that she had
been frozen while lighting the fire
that destroyed her home last Fri
day evening.
Mrs. Goshaw states that the fire
started in the battery room of the
ranch house and spread rapidly
through the whole house. Since
the ranch is away from the village
it was some time before help
could reach Mr. and Mrs. Goshaw,
who endeavored to save what
they could when they saw it was
impossible to save the building.
While working frantically to save
some clothes Mrs. Goshaw was
overcome by the smoke and lay
on the ground for some time be
fore she was discovered and rush
ed to the home of Rev. E. H.
Dahle, where it was found that
both her hands and one foot were
frozen. Mrs. Goshaw states that
the store and postoffice were not

THE BIG QUESTION
OKINAWA—<>P)—The big ques

did the first assault wave do?”
It didn’t take long to find the
answer at Okinawa.
Going in, the fifth assault wave

initial attackers ashore.
They knew it had been easy.

Mrs. Goshaw states how the
whole village pitched in to help
as soon as the flames were seen
on thfe roof from the village. Some
of the food supplies for the foxes,
were stored in the cellar and were
saved by placing ice cakes over;
the entrance. Shishmaref gets its j
winter water supply by cutting
cakes of ice in the fall, which are
stored and melted as needed. It
was these ice cakes which were
used.

HOME-LIKE TOUCH
Aboard a Coast Guard Cutter at
Okinawa—It didn’t take long for
Yankee civilization to engulf Oki-1
nawa, report crew members of a!
Coast Guard-manned LST making
its second visit to our then new
est Pacific base.
The LST, participating in the
Yank assaults on two Kerama
Rhetto isles as well as landing
troops on Okinawa and Ie Shima,
paid the Ryukyus its second visit
since the attack began last Easter.
Coincidence dropped its huge
bow ramp almost on the exact
spot where it had landed troops
in April. At that time Jap mortar
and sporadic machine-gun fire
proved mighty uncomfortable.
But Coast Guardsmen noted the
change quickly on their second
visit. The first thing they spotted
ashore was a sign which stated
emphatically: “Off Limits to Mili
tary Personnel.”
Although English seamen still
receive a daily ration of rum, this
practice was discouraged in the
early days of the Coast Guard,
when a sum of 3 cents was added
to each Coast Guardsman’s pay in
leiu of the liquor ration.

Girls Rescue
The Homeless
In Germany
By BARBARA WACE
<#*) Newsfeatures
BERLIN — Young Belgian and
French girls, under 25 years old,
have been travelling deep into
Russian-occupied Germany to
bring back displaced perosns for
repatriation. Not only do they
bring back displaced persons for
but American and British subjects
too, and they have gleaned much
information on missing displaced
persons for authorities.
Members of Team Number One,
of the combined French and Bel
gian Red Cross in Germany, have
been where no other voluntary
workers and few non-Russian Al
lies have been permitted to travel
since the capitulation.
In their mess in Berlin (which
has the gay atmosphere of a smart
Parisian finishing school more
than headquarters of team work
ers who have done tremendous
work in the Belsen horror camp),
Commandant Wenceslas Coppee,
peacetime engineer from Brussels,
described some of the girls’ work.
"It is these young girls who do
everything." he declared and
looked around benignly at the
chattering group, two of whom
were dancing a mad fandango in
a corner.
"But we have to thank these
women for getting us this privi- J
lege of going into the Russian
zone,” Coppee went on. “It was
Madame Helene Wittiuck w’ho ar
ranged everything and who by her J
wonderful spirit keeps the morale
of these overworked girls as high
as this.”
Madame Wittiuck is a slim,
dark, chic Russian-born woman
married to a Belgian from Brus
sels. Energetic and full of charm,

she has been a dress designer in
New York and Paris as well as a
journalist. Coppee said the rela
tions of the teams with Russians
were most cordial and the latter
are always helpful in providing
each convoy with a Russian offi
cer as guide when they enter the
Russian zone.
The Belgian team has four driv
ers and three nurses, the French
seven drivers. The girls, who were
brought up in pampered circum
stances, drive convoys of heavy
ambulances and trucks which
they use to bring the sick back
from camps in eastern Germany.
They all know first aid, and all
have had to tprn their hands to
anything from changing heavy
spare wheels to tending the des
perately sick displaced persons.
They usually sleep inside the
trucks and ambulances on the
road. They hold the heavy vehic
les on the blasted corrugated
roads, although the captain of the
French team, Janine Ivoy, of
Paris, looks as though she could
not turn a steering wheel. She is 5
feet tall, with close cropped
blonde curls, and is a veteran
French Red Cross and under
ground worker who has been
evacuating displaced persons from
Belgium and Germany since
France's liberation.
