TREATED THAN MOST VICTIMS “Lieutenant tenHHoed, one or ‘the Royal Nederlands Air Force officers j}now resting. in this city, in a talk before the Grass Valley Lions Club said that, cruelly abused and starved as were the Dutch people by the j(Nazis, their lot’ was much _ better than that of most of the overridden countries. Lieutenant Hoed, a flight pilot, was the guest speaker and the program was in charge of Clair Hughes, The young officer recounted. the tragedy and catastrophe of May,. 1940, when the Nazis flooded: into ‘Holland. Though the Hollanders put ‘Up @ magnificent fight the invaders. sent thousands of paratroopers into ‘the rear of the battle lines and ‘dis‘rupting communications, made all effort as national defense futile. Captured himself, the officer said fhe was forced to walk in front of Nazi trucks in which German sol‘@iers were hauled, as a living shield against the fire of his own countrymen. Despite that, ‘however, the Dutch soldiers fired and he was ‘wounded. The next day the Dutch reed the airport, in the struggle, for. which, he had ‘received his wounds, and he was freed. The enormous numbers, of troops of the Germans, however, and their ruthless tactics, overcame the Dutch shortly afterward and the airport ‘was retaken and held. The massacre of 30,000 of men, women and children in the bombing of Rotterdam; he said, will ever recatu . } main one of the tragic events of ‘T) the Dutch history. This slaughter, he declared was. unnecessary from — any standpoint military or political,” For about 14 days, following ‘the occupation of ‘Holland, Hoed stated Germans were Polite and tried to show a. trieadty ert But when and ‘mass murder of hostages beeame the: order of the day. . Im the first days of occupation the Germans exported a ten year food supply cf the Dutch into Germany. After several attempts to escape, which were thwarted, Hoed managed to get into Switzerland and from there with the aid from the underground he reached Lisbon, and finally Britain, where he again resumed the fight. Six months ago he came to the United States and entered the (Dutch air school at Jackson, Miss. Completing his training there, which in vnew of the fact that he had already. won his wings in the Dutch air force; was in the nature of a refresher course, he came to Grass Valley, with 90 comrades, for short rest before entering combat duty in the Pacific. DRAGS BIG LOAD UPMT.ROSE Up the snow covered flanks of Mt. Rose, lying between Reno, Nevada, and Lake Tahoe, last week ‘there climbed a new mechanical contraption dragging a light trailer on skis. It was the “sno-cat”, which E. M. Tucker and his three sons have recently perfected to a point where it will drag a trailer loaded with hine men up the steep sides of the mountains buried deep in snow. Among those who rode up the delivity last week Were David Maltman, Grass Valley mining man, J, iH. Hodson, engineer of the Bell Telephone Company of Nevada, E. H. Howell and Walter Heriz of the Si‘vada. E. M. Tucker, who now ‘proposes eats” in Grass Valley, guided this new mechanical mule on its trip to ‘the top of the mountain. Another who took the trip was {Dr. J. B. Church, of the Satesralty to begin the manufacture of “sno-/ erra Pacific Power Company ‘of Ne; . Bed Cross Field Yanks’ Problems Overseas gives a message to Sgt. On Masera Island, up in the Persian Gulf, where there is not a single tree standing and the wind blows. across the island ceaselessly, Red Cross field men brought fishing tackle, books and writing paper to service men. Most welcome gift from the Red Cross was clippers for hair cutting—the boys had been without a barber for months. In: Persia, a Red Cross Field Director was able to locate a soldier’s mother whom he hadn’t-seen for 25 years. in Africa, Red Cross field men flew in Army planes, hitch-hiked in supply trucks, bumped in jeeps over bombed convoy routes, through blinding sand storms and glaring sun to help men with personal problems and emergency communications, and to deliver magazines and books, cigarettes and cho olate to isolated posts and bases. In Italy. Red Cross field men accompanied the troops in. on the invasion barges. In India, a: sergeant was sentenced to the guard house for disorderly conduct. His officer couldn’t understand the boy’s behavior. He was a nice kid —he’d never gone to. pieces before. The officer asked the Red Cross Field Director to see him. The Red Cross man discovered a very worried boy. His wife had not been receiving his allotments, she wasn’t well and needed an operation. She thought, the soldier must have cancelled his allotments and a misunderstanding had arisen between them so that she was no longer writing him. The field man got in touch with the town immediately. It iook care of her, One of the very important functions of the American Red Cross Is the direct communication it affords between the fighting man and ‘his people back home, .

These men share the conditions and hazards under which the soldiers fight. They also share their lives. They are on call day and night whenever they are needed. Often home seems very, very far away.
