Several Alvin Youths Believed In The Pacific War Zone
Alvinites felt very close to the war this week because a number of local youths 
are on duty with the armed forces in the Pacific zone.
Among these are Harold Madara, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Madara stationed on a 
ship in Pearl Harbor; Charles Savell, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Savell, 
stationed on a ship from the San Francisco base; Henry Goedecke, son of Richard 
Goedecke, of Houston, with the army at Fort Mills, P.I., J.D. Mirick of 
Pearland, last reported on a ship at Manila.
Maynard Campbell, on a destroyer in the Pacific; Harlan King, son of Mr. and 
Mrs. A.E. King, with the army in Honolulu; William Garrett on a cruisier in the 
Phillipines and Eddie Garrett with the air patrol at Pearl Harbor; Jesse 
Silvey, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.J. Silvey on a Pacific warship. William Elkins 
and William Patrick are with the Pacific fleet at an unknown location. Orville 
Stoltz, formerly of Alvin,, is also with the navy in the Pacific area.
Don Martin, brother of Al Martin has been employed for three years by a sugar 
cane company near Pearl Harbor. Henry Littleton, who made his home with Mr. and 
Mrs. John Casey, was stationed on an aircraft carrier last reported in Hawaii.
