Veteran enjoys quiet retirement
By Alton Bridges
Staff Writer
Jack Roberts moved to Forsyth
County in 1978 and enjoys the
camaraderie that being a member of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars offers.
He and his wife, Pauline, are very
active in the organization.
During his military service,
Roberts spent most of his time in the
military on a boat in the Atlantic.
When Roberts graduated from
high school at Old Tech High in
Atlanta, he got a job in the navy
yards in Charleston, S.C., because
his uncle was a supervisor in the
yards.
After working in the navy yards for
about a year, Roberts found himself
in the Navy taking basic training in
Bainbridge, Md. From basic train
ing, Roberts went to aviation mainte
nance and radar school in Memphis,
Tenn. After a short course in aerial
gunnery training, Roberts was
shipped out of Norfolk, Va., aboard a
small aircraft carrier, the USS
Croatan.
The Croatan was involved in anti
submarine operations in the Atlantic
covering the movement of convoys.
Her planes had two skirmishes with
surfaced submarines and on Sept. 5,
initiated night flying operations from
escort carriers.
After returning to Norfolk, the
Croatan left on Oct. 17, for
Casablanca ferrying aircraft and
plane crews for die North African
operations. It would be Nov. 29
before the carrier returned to the
United States.
From Jan. 14-27 and during
February of 1944, the Croatan took
part in tests with the Naval Research
BIBLE from 4B
Jesus was sound asleep, 25 so the
disciples went over to him and
woke him up. They said; “Lord,
save us! We’re going to drown!”
“But Jesus replied, “Why are you
so afraid? You surely don’t have
much faith.” Then he got up and
ordered the wind and the waves to
calm down. And everything was
calm.
27 The men in the boat were
amazed and said, “Who is this?
Even the wind and the waves obey
him.”
Two Men with
Demons in Them
(Mark 5.1-20, Luke 826-39)
28 After Jesus had crossed the lake,
he came to shore near the town of
Gadara and started down the road.
Two men with demons in them
came to him from the tombs. They
were so fierce that no one could
travel that way. 2 ’ Suddenly they
shouted, “Jesus, Son of God, what
do you want with us? Have you
come to punish us before our
time?”
“Not far from there a large herd of
pigs was feeding. 31 So the demons
begged Jesus, “If you force us out,
please send us into those pigs!” 32

Between March 24 and May 11,
she made a most successful patrol.
On April 7, her planes marked out a
German U-boat(U-856), which was
sunk by her escorts, Champlin and
Huse. On the night of April 25-26,
her four escorts joined in sinking U
-488.
She was also successful in her
patrol from June 2 to July 22. On
June 10, Croatan’s planes and
escorts Forst, Hose and Inch
attacked a U-490 and remained in
constant contact with it, forcing it to
surface the next day. Sixty survivors,
including the commanding officer,
were rescued before the submarine
sank from scuttling charges.
“During this time, we were
patrolling around the Azores,
France, Casablanca and the
Mediterranean Sea,” said Roberts.
“We carried these prisoners to
Casablanca.”
Aircraft and escorts Frost and Inch
combined again to sink U-154 on
Jesus told them to go, and they went
out of the men and into the pigs. All
at once the pigs rushed down the
3steep bank into the lake and
drowned.
33 The people taking care of the
pigs ran to the town and told every
thing, especially what had happened
to the two men. 34 Everyone in town
came out to meet Jesus. When they
saw him, they begged him to leave
their part of the country.
Jesus Heals a Crippled Man
(Mark 2.1-12, Luke 5.17-26)
9 Jesus got into a boat and crossed
back over to the town where he
lived. 2 Some people soon brought to
him a crippled man lying on a mat.
When Jesus saw how much faith
they had, he said to the crippled
man, “My friend, don’t worry! Your
sins are forgiven.”
3 Some teachers of the Law of
Moses said to themselves, “Jesus
must think he is God!”
4 But Jesus knew what was in their
minds, and he said, “Why are you
thinking such evil things? ’ls it easi
er for me to tell this crippled man
that his sins are forgiven or to tell
him to get up and walk? ‘But I will
show you that the Son of Man has

On Sept. 15, she aided survivors
from Warrington which had
foundered in a hurricane.
“The North Atlantic is one of the
roughest oceans in the world,” said
Roberts. “Often planes and mtn
would be washed off the flight decks
of the ships and into the icy waters
of the North Atlantic. Tables in the
chow hall would be washed out-of
their locks. The crew was always
available to rescue people who were
washed from the deck of other ships,
too.”
In 1944, Mann married Pauline
Mann, who had four brothers in the
war - three who earned Purple
Hearts. They have been married 54
years and have three sons.
The Croatan next provided air
cover for a high-speed east bound
task force then returned to New York
in February of ‘45.
“We had one more scrimmage
after President Roosevelt died,” said
Roberts. “The Germans did dot
know the war was over because we
had knocked out their communica
tion system.”
In 1945, Roberts returned 1 to
Georgia and began working in a
meat market where he worked for 30
year.
“We have owned property Un
Forsyth County since 1966 and this
is home for us,” said Roberts. “I
retired at 50 and enjoy spending time
with the family and working with
theVFW.”
The serene retirement life in
Cumming is a long way from the
rough seas and hurricanes of the
North Atlantic and Roberts says he’s
glad it is.
the right to forgive sins here on
earth.” So Jesus said to the man,
“Get up! Pick up your mat and j?o
on home.” 7 The man got up and
went home.’When the crowds saw
this, they were afraid and praised
God for giving such authoritylto
people.

YOUNGER HIPSTERS '
The conventional wisdom regard
ing hip-replacement surgery has
long held that younger men
should postpone the procedure
as long as possible because the
artificial hip could not withstand
the wear and tear that It would
likely endure during their project
ed lifetimes. The traditional metal
and-plastic artificial hips, which
could be expected to last about a
decade, cannot stand up to the
rigorous exercise In which mahy
young men like to engage.
However, all that has changed
with the Introduction of newer ail
metal artificial hips with more
durable bearings that can with
stand the more strenuous rigors
that younger men may put them
through, and may last a lifetime.
They should also reduce the need
for additional surgeries. After a
hip replacement, you’ll have
some restrictions on using your
hip, but eventually you can look
forward to returning to many of
your activities of dally living. The
