WE SALUTE OUR SOLDIER OF THE MONTH
James R. Kahler [photo]
James R. Kahler, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Kahler, R. D. No. 2, was born
and raised in Tyrone and is only twenty-two years of age. He received his
education in the Bellwood and Tyrone schools. In June, 1942, he was united in
marriage with Miss Clare Louise Holly. Before his induction in the army he was
employed by the P.R.R. in Altoona, Pa.
While attending Radio School in Chicago, "Kiki" as his family called him, was
a member of the Stevens Hotel Skyline Chorus and sang on radio programs during
November and December, 1942.
Sgt. Kahler's father served four years in the U. S. Navy. He has an uncle and
two cousins now in the armed forces.
Kiki was active in the Young People's Sunday School Group of his church. Very
popular with all his friends, his happy-go-lucky nature is probably proving a
valuable asset in enduring the harshness of an enemy prison camp.
PRISONER OF WAR IN GERMANY
Sergeant James R. Kahler is a member of the 568 Bomb Squadron.
Although Sgt. Kahler's wife and family have been assured that he is alive, as
yet they have received no direct word from their husband and son. Mrs. Kahler,
through the War Department and the International Red Cross, has been given his
address and she and his parents have sent him a Christmas package and many
letters. James, however, is not allowed to write home until after he has been in
the Prisoner of War Camp for three months, after which be may write one letter
and one card each three months.
Those at home also serve as they wait and pray and watch for the mail which
may bring them some direct message. Our deepest sympathy to this anxious family,
and may they be comforted on Christmas Day by believing that Jim has been made
happy by receiving the Christmas gifts which they sent to him.
Inducted into the Army on August 4, 1942 and was assigned to the Air Corps at
St. Petersburg, Fla. From there he was sent for training to Chicago, Salt Lake
City, Spokane, Panama City, Fla., and St. Louis, Mo. In February, 1943 he was
graduated from Chicago Radio School and was then sent to Army Air Force Gunnery
School at Tyndall Field, Panama City, Fla., graduating six weeks later. Sgt.
Kahler was a member of the crew, which made a cross country flight from the
Pacific coast to New York, Boston and Washington, D.C. and to Miami and Bermuda
before leaving this country,
Sgt. Kahler was home for four days in July 1943 before starting for England
where he landed about July 15th. With group 6 of U.S. 2nd Air Force, he was
reported "Missing in Action" on August 17th and later a prisoner of war of the
German government, having been shot dawn in action over Germany.

A LETTER FROM ITALY
October 20, 1943
Dear Ladies:
Just a few lines of appreciation for your hospitality while I was on pass in
Tyrone. Your Canteen was the best I had ever been in and you ladies are really
kind to the boys.
I am now in Italy and I wish I could visit your Canteen again.
(Poor boy, I bet he does. Ed.)
I am not the type to write letters of appreciation but I hope this will serve
the purpose.
Yours sincerely,
Pvt. Ralph H. Bonsell
Visitor: "Are you the executive officer? I'm Mrs. Stone. I have a grandson
serving in your army."
Army Exec.: "Yes, madam, He's away on leave just now attending your funeral."
Scott Field Broadcaster,
Scott Field, Ill.
CROSS PURPOSES DEPT.:
Second Lieutenant: "Colonel, I've been trying to see you for a week, but you
were busy, sir. When can I see you?"
Colonel: "Why don't you make a date with my secretary?"
Second Lieutenant "I did, sir. We had a lovely time, but I still want to see
you."
The Armodier,
Fort Smith, Ark.
Corporal Dickson received this little dope from his wife in a letter: "If a baby
grabs a gun, he's sure to be a soldier; if a boat, a sailor; but if he makes a
grab for the nurse, he'll be a marine."
Terminal Topics,
U. S. Naval Air Station,
San Pedro, California
A letter from United States Marine Corps, San Francisco, Cal., signed by Major
General John Marston, U.S. Marine Corps, which said in part: "Please extend my
personal thanks to all who participated in this good-will gift of 10,000
Chesterfields to our Marines serving overseas in the Pacific area. I am sure you
can appreciate how much your gift will be enjoyed."
And from the 12th NAVAL DISTRICT, San Francisco, Cal., a similar letter of
appreciation, for the cigarettes sent to the Navy in that area. This letter was
signed by H, M. McKinley, Commander U.S.N.R.
And now we certainly hope that some Tyrone boy, somewhere gets one of these
packs of Chesterfields for we know how delighted he would be when he saw this
label:
FROM A FRIEND IN TYRONE, PA.
Fred Waring's Home Town
THE PULSE, published by the personnel and patients of the Newport Naval
Hospital received from Ralph Hazzard, Ph. M. 1/c. Mr. Hazzard is founder and
editor of the paper which we found very interesting. We had no idea there could
be so many extra "curricula" activities in a hospital. We are looking forward to
the next number.
A letter from Sgt. J. Casansky to our Canteen hostess, Mrs. Grace Yinger, "On
the 19th I stopped in at the Canteen and you served me a good meal. Thanks a
million to you and all the rest of the folks that helped to make that service
men's Canteen a success. It is the best one I have ever been to yet. Enclosed is
an insignia of my division - Co. A 127th Ord. Pine Camp, N.Y.

WELCOME BACK
Mrs. Florence Beaston opened her town house last month. During the summer,
which was spent on the farm, she continued her supervision of the Canteen and
personally bought all the food.
But we missed her in the evenings. The Canteen seems a happier place now that
the manager is able to spend more time there and puts into effect her many ideas
for brightening the surrounding atmosphere.
Maestro Fred Waring and Artist Tom called home on account of the serious
illness of their mother, were welcome visitors. Mrs. Waring improved
sufficiently for Fred to return to New York the next day and so he was absent
from only one of his famous nightly broadcasts.
Tom remained with his mother, who was much better when the Canteen News went
to press.
Between visits to the hospital, Tom spends most of his time at the Canteen
helping with the many jobs.
We hope he can remain for our Christmas party as we could use another Santa.
Sergeant "Doc" Mizzy was all excited the other night when he found out that
the Canteen bore the Waring name. He said his brother, Vic, stationed at the
Navy Yard in Brooklyn had just had one of his tunes accepted by Fred to be
played on a broadcast. The title, "Take 'er Down." "Doc" said his brother had
written many popular tunes and that his wife is Mary Small, well known on the
Broadway stage and on the radio, as a singer of popular songs.
MANLY HAPPY RETURNS
The Hostesses got together the other night and provided a birthday cake and a
quiet little surprise party when they found that Hostess Rose DeFerie and Police
Officer Bilger celebrated the same natal day.
The honor guests were truly surprised and they received some lovely gifts.
JUST MARRIED
At the Methodist parsonage, by Rev. Beam, Pvt. William S. Steele, Jr., of
Tyrone, and Miss Florence Walters, of Coburn, Pa.
Immediately afterwards they dropped in at the Canteen and were surprised and
delighted when our hostess served them a wedding supper complete with cake and
ice cream.
The groom had only a week's leave before reporting back to Fort Sam Houston,
Tex. We hope a long and happy life "after the war" will compensate this fine
young couple for their exceedingly short honeymoon.
We had a 30 lb. turkey for Thanksgiving for the servicemen. Our hostesses
served them turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberries and pumpkin pie. And were they
pleased? One sergeant, just off the train from Portland, put his money on the
counter. The newcomers to the Canteen cannot believe that the food is furnished
free. Our regulars are used to the idea by this time but are still appreciative
of this and of all the privileges the Canteen offers. Here is a clipping from
the Nov. 26th "Clearfield Progress" to prove our point:
The Fred Waring Canteen in Tyrone is a very welcome sight to service men
coming home and returning to camp. Edward L. Bloom: S 2/c, son of Mrs. Rozella
Bloom of Bigler avenue, who is home on a nine-clay leave from the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Illinois, says the canteen is the place
"a soldier or sailor can get a meal, a bed and a ride on home for free." S 2/c
Bloom commenting on the little "home away from home" says, "It's the best and it
deserves all the praise in the world."
RADIO FUN
My career has me worried, because my producers' slaps on the back are getting
lower and lower.
UNUSUAL GENEROSITY
A letter to Mrs. Beaston contained a $50.00 check from the P.T.A. of Houtzdale
for the Canteen.
The VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS OF PHILIPSBURG sent another check for $50,00.
This is their second large contribution.
The AMERICAN LEGION OF PHILIPSBURG called Mr. Rothrock to tell him that they
had just voted us another $100.00 to be paid $25.00 a month for four months.
Their second $100.00.
So we have this concrete evidence that the boys of these towns take home
glowing accounts of our Canteen for all these donations have been spontaneous,
not one has been solicited by the Tyrone-Waring Canteen. Words cannot express
our thanks to these generous people.
Jealousy is a friendship between two girls.
Remember when a blue point was an oyster, not a ration coupon?
Mrs. Beaston is planning festivities at the Canteen for the Christmas season.
There is to be a large Christmas tree and under it a small gift for each service
man who stops in any time during the whole Christmas Week. Our manager is the
Santa Claus who is donating the gifts.
So with the tree, the gifts, and the turkey which Mr. Willard is furnishing it
looks as though there will be a Merry Christmas in the Canteen.
Details of the Holiday activities will be found in the January number as this
one goes to press two weeks before Christmas.
The little puppy from Warriors Mark was lost in the big city of Tyrone and
after a weary time, came upon a parking meter. Gazing thoughtfully upon the
barking meter. it mused: "Hum - pay toilet, eh?"

Sgt. Houser writes that he has seen John Dworsak and Bob Plummer from Tyrone.
S. Sgt. Floyd Nestlerode was cited for his exceptional bravery on the day of
the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor. He spent eight months on Midway Islands.
Excerpts from a letter dated Oct. 13th to his mother, the day he returned from a
week's vacation on one of the other islands: "The day I left I met Deb Shildt
and he gave me the address of a Philipino he knew over there and asked me to
look him up." This introduction lead to Floyd and the soldier with him being
invited to many parties for the entire week. "They even let us use their cars
and with gas rationing the way it is, that was really some privilege. Those
people usually eat rice instead of bread. I even learned to eat raw fish and to
eat with chop sticks. A few days before I left on this trip I got lucky in a
card game and won a couple hundred so with that and the luck of meeting all
these people, for once in my life for a whole week, I saw how the other half of
the world lives and lived right along with them. I was sorry to see the week
end."
Jeep: "Would you blame me for something I didn't do?"
Sergeant: "Of course not."
Jeep: "Well, I didn't get up for reveille."
The Communique,
Camp Livingston, La.
From Forrest Waite's letters home, dated May and June: "An Arab came along
this evening selling potatoes so my buddy and I bought a peck from him and he
only charged us $4.00 so we had French fries. I can now tell you that I have
seen action and that we have knocked down a few planes. It's pretty nice where
we are now; there are lots of orange trees around and lots of vegetable gardens
and is pretty much like the States at this time."
And from one dated Sept. 17: "We don't care much for Sicily. I bought some
peaches from a kid this morning. We had real butter yesterday and today, the
first since we landed in Africa. We usually get coffee for breakfast and supper.
There are plenty of boys from around home with me, from Tyrone, Bellwood,
Altoona, Bedford, etc."
We stand in line to get a pass
We stand in line to wash
We stand in line to find a place
To stand in line; by gosh!
We stand in line to draw our pay
We stand in line to spend it
But fellowmen, we never have
To stand in line to lend it.

Abe Martin Says: -
One of the best returns from a War Bond is an eased conscience:
Fun is like insurance. The older you get the more it costs you.
Cpl. Brisbin's company organized a football team, played against an English
team in London, won 13-0.
From Pfc. John Fetters: "The poorest class of people in the U.S.A. live like
kings compared to the people in India. It is very hot and snakes, scorpions and
jackels are plentiful. Chow is the best - but I hope the war will soon be over."

MISCELLANY
POEM
(Dedicated to Bill "Potatoes" Potaris, by his buddies in Africa)
"The Bugler's Dream"
Here's to "Potatoes" who dreams of a T/5,
I don't think the captain knows he's alive.
He gripes and he grumbles but never does bawl,
And he never forgets to blow first call.
When his bugle is broken and he can't blow,
He really makes that big mouth of his go.
But when he's lonely, he makes no noise,
And he only thinks of those home guard boys.
He dreams of the girl that he left behind,
Then he thinks of a cure that might be wine;
Then he thinks of Tyrone and his folks, too,
And he really doesn't know what to do.
He always talks a lot in his sleep
And it all seems to be about 19th Street;
And he remembers the train of 8:33 -
I guess he is getting homesick just like me.
He wants to go to Greece have a fight
And meet some relations who seldom write.
I say that he is wrong and he says that he is right;
We start an argument and almost fight.
But we're still pals and we're doing all right
We're hoping and praying with all our might
We'll be home soon, and we don't mean perhaps -
When we kill off enough damn Germans and Japs.
So here's to "Potatoes" and may his dreams come true,
And his wishes fulfilled to soon see you.
He keeps them rolling and he's right in the click,
Just a few compliments from his friend "Chick."
Irate Mother, at 11:30 p.m.: "Young man, do you think you can stay here all
night?"
Soldier: "I don't know. I'll have to call my C.O. first."
Randolph Rookie,
Randolph Field, Tex.
Sgt. Bob Rothrock in a letter just received told of the pleasure he had
entertaining a sailor of the Royal Navy whose ship anchored off our base. He
showed the young Britain around and took him to mess with him. He said the
sailor was amazed at the fine accommodations and the good food and was anxious
to tell his shipmates about our great Army base. The young man lived in London
and was through every major air attack. Since then he helped in the invasion of
Sicily and for a short time was active in Italy.
"The frightfulness of the blitz is too horrible to write about so you'll have
to wait until I get back to tell you. Anyway, I am more glad than ever that we
went to England's aid as soon as we did."
Bob's friend in civilian life worked for the Ministry of Supplies, his salary
$120.00 a month, which he said was pretty good in their country but he could not
afford an automobile. In the Royal Navy he receives about $17.00 per month.
Buck Private: "I'm afraid we can't have much fun tonight. All I have left of
my pay is some small change."
Sweet Young Thing: "Well, how much do you think it takes to send my kid
brother to the movies - a five dollar bill?"

A LETTER TO THE PUBLISHER
Pvt. Donald L. Smith, 33762425,
285th Station Hospital,
N.O.S.A.,
New Orleans (12) La.
Dear Friend Earl:
Am enjoying my stay in the South very much. The weather is ideal and the city
very interesting. I can understand Jack's liking it. It's full of quaint old
buildings and historical landmarks but lacks one thing which spoils it for me.
They can't see the sunrise over the Bald Eagle Ridge and set over the
Alleghenies, as we can back home.
I've read the first edition of your "Canteen News" and I want to congratulate
you and your coworkers on a fine job. I was certainly proud to show it to the
other fellows in my outfit and it received a lot of favorable comment. I had
already set myself up as sort of a one-man Tyrone Chamber of Commerce and done
quite a bit of boasting, so I needed a little something like the "News" to back
me up. I predict a great increase in the tourist trade through our little town
after the war.
So long,
Don
Baltimore, Md.
Nov. 20 - 43.
Dear Sir:
The November issue of the Tyrone-Waring "Canteen News" just received and I
want to sincerely thank all concerned for the beautiful write-up of my son,
James. I just can't say in words how grateful I am, and should I say, proud. I
can't express what I want to say, but please know I thank you.
To date, we have had no word from Jim but have hopes that there will be a card
for me when the Gripsholm arrives. I understand all a prisoner is allowed is a
form card which he may check and sign his name. Should I hear from him I will
let you know.
Enclosed is a money order for the amount of $6.00. Could I get 10 issues of
the Nov. Magazine? I would like to send them to relatives - and the $5.00 is for
a donation to the Canteen.
Wishing you success, I remain,
Sincerely,
Mrs. Robert Anderson,
2220 Riggs Ave., Baltimore, Md.

SPORTS
LAST GAMES
After winning nine straight games Notre Dame was beaten by Great Lakes Naval
Training Station. Score - 19-14; the biggest upset of the 1943 season. The
sailors were behind two points with less than a minute to go, connected with two
desperation passes that covered sixty-two yards and brought mighty Notre Dame to
its knees.
Navy downed Army 13-0 in their traditional Saturday after Thanksgiving game
which was played at West Point this year. The crowd was restricted to those who
live or had business within ten miles of the site, but 15,000 witnessed the
game. The sailors did all right in both big games.

AMUSEMENTS
RECOMMENDED - Movies
MR. LUCKY - Fast moving entertainment, with Cary Grant and lovely Lorraine
Day.
CLAUDIA - A gay and amusing comedy with nothing about the war.
HEAVEN CAN WAIT-Another fine comedy. Gene Tierney and Don Ameche in their best
performances to date. Don't miss it. You'll even like Satan in this one.
SHADOW OF A DOUBT - A Thriller. The best one of its kind. Not a very late
movie but try to see it if you have not already done so.
Theatre
New Play - "THE VOICE OF THE TURTLE" (Opened at Walnut St. Theatre,
Philadelphia, on Monday, Nov. 22, prior to its Broadway Premiere on Dec. 8th.)
- A Hit! Ingratiating comedy. Risque Scenes made innocent by the fine acting of
Margaret Sullavan, the star. Elliot Nugent is co-star and Audrey Christie
completes the cast. But don't let the smallness of the cast keep you away if you
have a chance to see it. The hero is a sergeant but it is NOT ABOUT WAR.
Recommended RECORDS
New - Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians in a Christmas Album, featuring the
old and lovely Christmas Hymns. Glee Club and orchestra.
Bing's Adeste Fidelis and Holy Night (one record).
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas and Let's Start the New Year Right (one
record).
Cannot be topped for Christmas time records, even though they are old
releases.
HIT PARADE - Dec. 11th
No. 1 Song - My Heart Tells Me.
No. 2 Song - They're Either Too Young Or Too Old.
No. 3 Song - People Will Say We're In Love.
SOCIAL
The lights are on again and the dim-out regulations have been lifted even in
our coastal cities. Nevertheless Tyrone is not putting up their beautiful street
decorations this year. We are keeping up the morale on the home front never
fear, yet in the midst of a bitter and bloody war, we just do not have the heart
to be too festive even at this Christmas season.
There are few parties planned. We shall wait until our boys have returned
before we resume our normal way of celebrating this happiest of all seasons.
The high school has planned a couple of things listed below in which the boys,
so lately in high school themselves, shall probably be interested.
TYRONE HIGH ACTIVITIES
The Holly Hop is to take place on Dec. 23rd with Karl Irvin's Altoona
orchestra.
Because so many seniors will be entering the armed forces before the close of
the school term, the Senior Class banquet was held on Dec. 2nd in the Moose
Hall, followed by a party in the high school gym.
Kiwanis entertained the Tyrone High school football team at dinner at the
Trinity Parish House on their regular meeting night, Tuesday, Dec. 7th. A
special program, consisting of their popular minstrel show was given with Earl
Rothrock and Joe Dickson the colored end men. The team apparently enjoyed the
antics of the grown-ups.
The popular Radio Program, "Vox Pop," was broadcast from State College on
Monday, November 15th, State, as you no doubt know, has an extensive army and
navy training program.

Missing In Flight
Sgt. William T. Williams, Tyrone, Pa. [photo]
Sergeant William T. Williams is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Williams. He was
reported by the War Department as "missing in flight" in the Asiatic area.
He was an armorer in the 14th air force and his parents believe, from a
knowledge of his duties, that he was forced down somewhere in China while flying
from India.
Sergeant Williams graduated from Warriors Mark High school, class of '37. He
enlisted in the air corps on Jan. 5, 1942.
FRIENDS INFORM US THAT TOMMY HARMON was on the same plane and now that Tommy,
former Michigan football star, has returned after being reported missing, the
Williams family is much encouraged that their son is also safe.
This is the second time that Harmon has been given up as lost and has
returned. The other time he was lost in South America.

ALTHOUGH HE HAS THREE SMALL CHILDREN, WALTER ENLISTED NOV. 2; HE IS THE ELDEST
OF THE BROTHERS [photo]
These six boys are the sons of Mr. George Rhodes, 1400 Bald Eagle avenue. This
father is very proud of his six soldier sons and the most exciting thing in his
life are their many interesting letters. Norman wrote that he had visited the
Holy Land recently.
One of our Canteen hostesses is their sister (next column.)
Mrs. Westover, Mary, has SIX very special and personal reasons for taking her
Canteen duties seriously, the boys pictured above. For they are her brothers.
With six brothers in the armed forces, this hostess finds her Canteen job an
expression of doing a great service for her own flesh and blood.
Mary sews a fine seam and is always happy to be doing an extra sewing job for
our soldier guests. A missing button, a torn seam or loose chevron is soon
remedied by her. And she does a neat pressing job when a soldier is not too
clever freshening up his own uniform.
Mrs. Westover has four children, a daughter married, a son who is just
patiently waiting for his seventeenth birthday which comes in January next, to
join the Marines. Two younger boys are in school.
But even with her heavy home duties and her long hours at the Canteen, Mary
has a sweet smile and a cheerful word for everyone.
