Bataan-Corregidor
Survivors Convene
Calvin Graef, National
Commander of American
Ex-Prisoners of War, Inc.,
will be the banquet speaker
at the annual Fontana
Bataan-Corregidor Survivors
Reunion, to be held August
27-30, 1967, at Fontana
Dam, N. C.
In announcing the dates
of the ex-prisoner of war
gathering, Reunion Chair
man Wayne Carr 1n g er,
stated that the “rice eaters",
a term the ex-prisoners of
war of the Japanese use
with each other, are anxious
to know if there are any sur
vivors of the gallant crews
who made the raids on the
Japanese mainland under
General Doolittle’s com
mand. “We would like to
honor them at this yedr’s
reunion”, Carringer stated.
“We want them to know
how thrilling it was to get
the news of the raids, just at
the time when our morale
was at its lowest, and our
situation seemed so hope
less.”
The raids on Tokyo and
Japan were made by volun
teers who faced almost cer
tain death or capture, since
the bombers did not have
enough fuel to make the
bombing runs and return to
base. Many of them were
captured, and kept in sep
arate prisoner of war camps
so that they were not in
direct contact with the
Bataan-Corregidor survivors
during the war years.
The memory of the late
General Edward P. King, Jr.,
will be honored during the
reunion, by Georgia sur
vivors who have organized a
chapter of the national or
ganization, American De
fenders of Bataan and Cor
regidor, and named it for
their former POW com
mander. Mrs. King, the
General’s widow, Ilves at
Sea Island, Georgia, and
regularly attends the Fon
tana reunions.
Other guests of honor will
be Ray M. O’Day, Seattle,
Washington, editor of Chit
Chat, the POW newsletter;

Seaman Rafter
Os Forest Park
Graduates
(PH0373) CAPE MAY, N. J.
(FHTNC)—Seaman Appren
tice Fred C. Rafter, USCGR,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
F. Rafter of 407 Pine Ridge
Drive, Forest Park, Ga., has
graduated from eight weeks
of basic training at the
Coast Guard Recruit Train
ing Center here.
Guided by experienced
Coast Guard senior petty of
ficers during his training, he
studied the fundamentals of
such military and Naval
subjects as seamanship, In
fantry drill, shipboard pro
cedures. and at sea survival
techniques. The basics of
military customs and cour
tesies, and familiarization
with the Coast Guard’s mis
sion and responsibilities pol
ished the skills he needed to
make the transition from
civilian to Coast Guards
man.
The Coast Guard is part
of the Transportation De
partment, and is the United
States’ major maritime
safety organization.
Alabama, a wartime leader
of the Omine Machi prison
camp; Dale Frantz, Canton,
Ohio, organizer of a special
reunion for survivors of
Camp 17 at Omuta; J. A.
McDavitt, San Antonio,
Texas, editor of the XPW
Bulletin; and Daniel O. Con
rad, Decatur, Georgia, whe
heads the group who will
pay tribute to the memory
of General King.
The annual reunion, which
was organized four years
ago with less than 50 vet
erans attending, has grown
to be the largest gathering
of ex-Japanese prisoners of
war meeting annually In
the eastern United States.
As many as 500 veterans
with their families are ex
pected at this year’s affair.
Through the cooperation of
newspaper editors in pub
lishing previous reunions,
the mailing list of Death
March survivors has grown
from 40 to almost 1,500, as
sumed to be the majority of
those who survived the
rigors and cruelty of im
prisonment. Many hundreds
who survived the war were
in such poor health that
they died shortly after re
gaining their freedom.
April and May have a spe
cial significance in the
memory of the survivors, as
it marks the anniversary of
the period when Bataan and
Corregldor fell. The de
fenders of Corregldor held
out after surrender of
Bataan by making their way
to the fortress which was
the last stand of the Allies
in the Philippines. After the
last of the horses, mules and
wild animals had been
eaten, General Wainwright
was forced to surrender.
Anyone reading this ar
ticle who knows the address
of an ex-prlsoner of War
captured in Bataan or Cor
regldor is asked to write for
details of the reunion to

Village Resort, Fontana

Earl Andersen and C. W.
Poston recently completed
Soil and Water Conservation
Practices on their farms.
Relatively few Clayton
County farmers, many of
whom once grew wheat, are
reporting wheat for grain
this spring. Each year small
fields of wheat have been
more difficult to get custom
combined and since most of
Clayton’s wheat allotments
are small most farmers have
ceased growing it for grain.
Wheat for grazing, however
has increased in popularity
as the winter kill of oats has
increased during recent se
vere winters.
The USDA recently car
ried out a successful surprise
exercise to test emergency
communications and the
ability of USDA State De
fense Boards to assemble
quickly at emergency oper
ating sites. Through a tele
type network, a message was
sent early in the day to
each USDA State Defense
Board Chairman asking that
he assemble his Board at the
USDA emergency operating
site for that State. The test
showed the emergency tele
type facilities to be gener
ally effective.
USDA has 50 State De
fense Boards, plus one for
Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands and one for the Dis
trict of Columbia. There are
also about 3,000 USDA Coun
ty Defense Boards and 11
special Metropolitan Area
Defense Boards. These
Boards are the primary
channel within USDA for
directing and coordinating
USDA defense responsi
bilities in the field. All
USDA State Defense Boards
and national headquarters
are linked by a special tele
type network which is part
of the Advanced Records
System of the Federal Tele
communications Systems. In
an emergency, USDA State
Defense Boards are respon
sible for protection and
utilization of the Nation’s
food supply, and for the
preservation of agricultural
resources. The boards are
made up of heads of USDA
agencies within a State.

Zone.
The Council voted to adopt
the Uniform Numbering
System for houses and busi
nesses in the Metropolitan
Atlanta Area and to support
the County in this endeavor.
It is felt that this numbering
system will cause inconveni
ence to some residents but
the overall benefits to the
vast majority will justify its
adoption.
It was reported that there
has been an increase in the
destruction and defacing of
traffic control signs of late.
This not only is destroying
public property but presents
a very serious danger to
human life. The person or
persons found doing this will
be prosecuted.
