Loyalton Man In Rail Unit

Doctor Serves In Naval Fleet
LOYALTON, Calif., May 18. Among the men enlisted in the 759th railway operating battalion IB S/Sgt. Pierre Bonnehon of Loyaiton. For several years prior to enlisting he was employed at the Yuba pass tavern and for the year just prior was a railroad engineer. The ur.it is operating trains over 300 miles of ragged Atlas mountain terrain, one of the toughest stretches of railroad in the world. A year ago the unit went to North Africa and during the campaign in Tunisia the men wore steel helmets over their engineer caps, and pistols and carbines were used along with oil cans and coal shovels. Trains were run in blackout conditions as war supplies and troops were rushed to the front. With the enemy gone from the immediate area, problems still face the unit. In one fifty-mile stretch there are twenty tunnels, one of them two miles long and horseshoe shaped. While 2.2 per cent grades over the Rocky mountains are the usual maximum transcontinental lines, these soldier-railroaders face 2.5 per cent grades frequently along their 300-mile run. Impurities in the water mean that the firemen have to put in a lot of work to produce steam rather than foam. It was reported that there have been no fatal accidents on the line since the unit was formed. Mrs. Maude Recce of Loyalton has received word that her son, Earl M. Fales, who joined the navy at Sacramento, is now receiving boot training at Farragut, Idaho. He is a graduate of the Portola high school with the class of 1938 and later attended Sacramento junior college. He is married and has two children. Com. Gaines L. Coates of the United States navy recently returned from a trial trip as chief surgeon aboard the newest and most modern hospital ship afloat In the Pacific. The commander was born in Sierraville and moved to Loyalton with his parents as E mall boy. He Is the son of Mrs Irving Arnold of Martinez and the late Dr. G. L. Coates, pioneer physician of Sierra county. Sam Vallery, jr., has completed his course at the sound school al San Diego, Calif., and has received his rating, according to word received by his parents. His brother S/Sgt. Milton Vallery, is stationed at San Luis Obispo, Calif., and the two recently spend a weekend together.

We put on a three day fruitless hunt for a square-dance caller and then discovered we had one right in the band . . . why doesn't somebody tell us these things! ! The outlying Dude Ranches are lopin* in with their fair damsels and if you've never grabbed an armful of real Eastern beef, here's your chance . . . Many of the local ranchers have said they would be on hand, so throw on your glad rags and hoe on down. Later this Summer (if it ever comes) we're going to put on a sho-nuff, real, genuine, bonafide, honest-to-goodness Miss America Beauty Contest and send the first girl ever to be present from Nevada to Atlantic City for the annual Bathing Beauty Contest. Six of your fellow-townsmen have already been hurt in the rush for judges' jobs. In the meantime we are searching for a male edition to act as a lifeguard at the pooi. We want him to be big and handsome for the benefit of you gals, but it would help if he could also swim a little, at least enough to keep his nose above water, and not muss his hair. Pool opens Saturday, so candidates please rush at us, pronto. See you tonight chawin* on them luscious prime ribs, or that golden-brown fried chicken with the hot biscuits and honey.
