PRESIDENT BEN HAGMAN SAYS
     We hope that where ever there are four or five members or more located in one city, they will plan some kind of get-together on December 16th, and that one of the participants will take on the responsibility of reporting to the Cub the activities and the names of those that attended.
     Since our Reunion, I have had a great number of compliments on the appearance and conduct of all the members that attended. Note to Mae Dean and Jim Wells, the man that was thrown from the bull was not hurt seriously. He just had the wind knocked out of him.
     Old Whit, the bartender, said we were the nicest bunch he ever waited on, and any time he would bartend or serve them again for nothing.
     The Company C of the 49th Armored Division was mobilized last Sunday and moved out of this vicinity to Fort Polk, and we threw a big banquet for them. It was reminiscent of the mobilization of the Stith in November 1940, for a year's duration, but from which many of us did not get back to civilian status until 1946.
     I understand that Chaplain Loveless procured the remaining volumes of St. Vith - Lion in the Way, and that they are available for purchase.
     Wayne Black informed me that he had to cut and not use a great portion of my first letter for this column, I will close reminding you that all us should make plans now to meet in Annapolis in 1962.

U. S. CAPITOL FLAG FLIES OVER MEMORIAL
Dedication Set for Spring 1962
    A flag which has flown over the U. S. Capitol at Washington, D. C. has been forwarded to St. Vith and is now being flown over the 106th Division Association Memorial there. Through the courtesy of the Honorable Hugh J. Addonizio, Member of Congress for the Eleventh District of New Jersey, and by arrangements he made with J. George Stewart, Architect

    of the Capitol, a flog flown over the Capitol was forwarded to Memorials Chairman Doug Coffey and early in September was sent by him to the director of the College Patronee at St. Vith for display on the Memorial.
     Chairman Coffey has now laid plans to proceed to Europe in the Spring -if Europe is still there - and hold dedication services at that time. Only a worsening of the international situation will interfere with these plans. It is hoped that more definite information including a date for the ceremonies will be available in the CUB in the near future.
     We regret that we cannot reproduce in color the photos, which would show the colors of the U. S. and Belgian flags on the tower.

SERVICE BATTERY 592 HOLDS ANNUAL REUNION
    The ninth annual reunion of Service Battery 592d FA Bn. initiated by Emil Solecki and Tom Dorosky was held at Hershey Park, Pennsylvania on Sunday 3 September. In addition to reminiscing and reviving old friendships, the group helped to celebrate the 19th wedding anniversary of Tom and Alice Dorosky and the 12th wedding anniversary of Michael and Martha Sgrignoli. These folks have watched their children grow up from year to year.

     The CUB has received from Osseo, Wisconsin the tragic news that former Division and Association member Ernest A. Yarnell, his wife, Fern Yarnell, and three sons, William Yarnell, 9, Jeffery Yarnell, 8, and Ronald Yarnell, 5, were killed Saturday 19 August when their pickup truck crashed into the side of a train near Menomonie.
     Surviving are five daughters, Barbara Yarnell, 17, Fay Yarnell, 12, Vicki Yarnell, 10, Pam Yarnell, 3, and Lori Yarnell, 2. The girls are residing with Ernie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Yarnell, RFD 2, Osseo, Wisconsin. Ernie was the oldest son of a family of nine living children. He had been employed since his return from service (continued next page)

Vicki is 10 and Pam 3. All these pictures have been taken this fall
Barbara, 17, is now a senior in Osseo High School
Pam, 3, and Lori, 2. Lori had not yet been born when the family picture was taken

    at the U. S. Rubber Company plant at Eau Claire. Funeral services were held at Saint Peter's Lutheran Church near Foster, Wisconsin.
     The picture at the beginning of this story was taken about 2 ½ years ago, before the birth of Lori. Following are four pictures which have been taken this autumn of the surviving girls. We are sure some of our members will want to remember these girls with Christmas greetings, and that all will remember them in their prayers.

The annual DeHeer picnic was held Sunday 20 August. For AWJ, we will list the names of those attending, first:
Mr. and Mrs. J. Anderson;
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Bickford and sister Christ ;
Mr. and Mrs. G. Thoma, 2 daughters and 1 son ;
Mr. and Mrs. Doug Coffey and 3 daughters (Gray, you should see them!) ;
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Brumagin ;
Mr. and Mrs. P. O'Rourke and 2 daughters;
Mr. and Mrs. E. Plenge;
Mr. and Mrs. Lou Rossi, 1 daughter, 3 sons, and 6 neighbors;
Mr. and Mrs. R. Scranton, 1 daughter and 1 son ;
Mr. H. Warner and 2 sons;
Mr. and Mrs. H. Watt, 1 daughter and 1 son ;
Mr. and Mrs. Dick DeHeer and 1 son.
     The young people rode the tractor with a cart on the back or went in a row boat in the brook. The men all tried their hands at baseball and horseshoes. The ladies gabbed.
     The highlight of the day happened after most of the folks had left. Dick went down to get the boat and pull it up close to the house. He got in the boat to step out the other side and fell over, head first in the brook. He looked like a wet rag with squashy shoes and all. This is the hard way of getting rid of a big head from too much 106'ers. You can now believe the Eveready battery ads. The flashlight worked perfectly under water.
-(RDH).

    Fred Schieferstein and George Thoma are co-chairmen in charge of arrangements for the December 16th Anniversary dinner for all persons interested. The dinner will be held at Ye Old Log Cabin, Raritan Road, Clark, New Jersey. All persons interested should contact one of these two members.

Gene Gore (Div Hq, 589) has suffered a heart attack and would enjoy hearing from some of the members.
     Cliff Perras (H 424), our former National President, was unable to attend the Fort Worth convention because of his efforts to attend another convention, the Michigan State Constitutional Convention which opened in Lansing on 3 October. He was successful in his bid for a seat at the convention defeating his opponent by a margin of 3,458 to 2,056. The fact that Cliff is as highly respected by his neighbors as he is by all of us is shown by his margin in his home town, 305 to 51. In the Constitutional Convention, Cliff has been working with such nationally known figures as John Hannah, president of Michigan State University, and George Remmey, president of American Motors Corporation, to design a new constitution for the state of Michigan. Cliff writes that he has been spending most of his time in Lansing with his weekends at home. He hopes to get in some deer hunting.

     The following letter has been sent out by Membership Chairman Joe Matthews to prospective members and former members in an effort to help our organization to grow.

Dear Veteran of the 106th:
     Ever since 1945, your 106th Division Association has constituted a means of recalling some significant events of your service, a clearing house for a variety of worthwhile projects and information, and for renewal of contacts with old friends made under unforgettable circumstances. The annual convention chairmen, the CUB editors, the elected officers and their ladies have worked long and hard.
•
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
A FEW COPIES OF "LION IN THE WAY" STILL AVAILABLE
    John Loveless has located a supply of about sixty copies of the history of the 106th Division by Colonel Ernest R. Dupuy, "Lion In The Way." As a service to the members of the Association, he will sell them at $3.00 postpaid, with a limit of one copy to any one member. Send your name and address to John T. Loveless, Jr., 2549 Pickwick Road, Dickeyville, Baltimore 7, Maryland along with a check or money order for $3.00, payable to him. We would suggest that you act at once. When these sixty copies are gone, there will be no more available from any source.

FORT WORTH CONVENTION
     We told you that the Fort Worth convention was a big affair. It was so big, in fact, that we couldn't get all the news and pictures in one issue of the CUB. We have had to carry over until this issue the news and coverage of the style show that was held for the ladies during the men's business meeting.
We picture here five of the lovely young ladies and six of the styles narrated

    by Nellie Jo Diamond of Weatherford, Texas, If your editor had realized that this was going on, there would probably not have been so complete a report in the last issue of the business meeting and more about this event.
     The models are: upper left, Virginia Lynch; lower left, Juda Bodiford; upper right, Jo Norton; lower right, Virginia Lynch; and below, , Mary Murrow and Bunny Anderson.

     Attendance at a reunion can be remembered as a real event, and membership in the Association brings regular news and many items of interest. The convention this year at Fort Worth was a big success, Texas style. So big and so pleasant in fact, that, yours truly had little excuse for helping push a drive to expand our membership. However, a membership campaign is a real working job, too big for any individual or committee to handle it all, and we want to get everybody into the act, if possible. Will you help?
Here's what we ask, and it isn't much:
     First, take a good look at the CUB (we are enclosing a copy with each letter as long as they last). Then send in your membership dues, if you haven't already done so. (In case you didn't get a printed application form, send five dollars to Secretary Richard DeHeer, 19 Hopkins St., Hillsdale, New Jersey. Two dollars for ladies auxiliary membership).
     Next and last, whether you join or not, please help us pass this along in chain letter fashion. Take this letter, the unused application forms and the CUB (if you will part with it) and send them to somebody you knew in the 106th Division, preferably someone you think is interested. Stick a one-line note on it, or write a letter, but please send it along! It will cost you only a few minutes of your time plus one postage stamp. Help keep the ball rolling! Help us grow!
That's all for now! Join and start reading the CUB regularly! It's well worth your while.
Sincerely, Joe Matthews,
Membership Committee Chmn.

CHAPLAIN'S COLUMN .. .
     Recently, in looking at my calendar for November, I was struck by the fact that in that month we, in the United States, observe not one but two national days. Until this year, I did not consider much of a relationship between them.
    With the increased world tension, heightened to explosive pitch accompanied by explosive acts, the celebration of Veterans Day scorns to be somewhat of a mockery. The lofty ideals for which our fathers fought and died certainly have faded with the events of World War II, Korea and all those other areas where man wars not only against his neighbor but also against his brother.
    Then less than two weeks later, the dawn of Thanksgiving brings us to a day when each of us still can give thanks to his Creator according to his faith and custom. Our blessings are innumerable with few exceptions none of us need be without food or shelter; the opportunities for education and advancement are opening for all, how be it in some instances very slowly; we can live in peace with our neighbors; we can speak freely and worship as we think right. The list is almost endless.
    Perhaps, we should not limit our thanks and appreciation to our Creator to just one great day, but rather extend the period throughout the whole year. Who knows but that extension would bridge the gap between the two days and our lives would be so enriched that we could be a part, even tho small, in bringing about peace on earth to men of good will!
"We give thanks to thee, O God; we

give thanks; we call on thy name and recount thy wondrous deeds."
-Psalm 75:1.
John T. Loveless, Jr.
Chaplain
106th Infantry Div. Ass'n

     Political columns containing an analysis of current news, views and other types of propaganda and gossip, usually start in a conservative fashion with the expression "As these words are being written" and end with the statement "Of course the foregoing will be denied by the Administration. 'Anything written between these protective ends is considered safe from counterattack. Especially in writing from President Kennedy's Washington, for a column to be published six weeks later, one must walk with great care or run the risk of appearing more foolish than usual. A study of the output of the local based battalion of Mimeograph Marauders depicts clearly the atrocities perpetrated on noncombatants. This violation of human rights seems to be a matter for the World Court, but, as someone has said, the will to resist is probably so low that the victims would not wish recourse to The Hague unless it was on the bottle twice. So in self defense we shall write of national matters of a more enduring quality, and with no fear of an upset.
     Just completed locally is a magnificent new stadium, one of the most completely instrumented in America, and presently the home of the Redskins, who are working hard on a thirteen game losing streak. One proposal to rescue our heroes calls for lowering the push button controlled goal post retractors, used for the change from professional to college games, just as the opposition attempts a field goal.
     This team will be followed next spring by Pete Quesada's Senators, who this year broke one-half of a world's record by gaining a tie for the newly established tenth place.
     As we take our departure from one of these predetermined athletic exhibitions, we will be guided from the spacious parking lot (nine thousand cars) by members of one of the more than thirty separate police forces operating in the District of Columbia which, incidentally, maintains one of the highest crime rates among cities of the same size. Or, if we wish, we may travel on a bus of the transit company, wholly owned subsidiary of the Caribbean Airways. We finally step from the bus and enter a saloon, seat ourselves in a chair at a table and order a quick one. Why do we sit at a table? Because the law states that nowhere in any of the twenty-seven postal zones, except in the twenty-fifth, may one drink standing up. In the twenty-fifth, one may not drink at all. These aberrations occur, naturally, in a community whose board of aldermen consists of The Congress, and where the veto can be exercised by six individuals - more even than Nikita hopes to acquire in the UN.
    Meanwhile, back at the political scene we find ourselves, at the time these words are being written, witness to the unfolding of an unprecedented world-wide drama which has reached the stage of an international test of will and we wait to see what the world will be like for our children and for theirs.
BAG LUNCH wishes for all of you that decency and reason will emerge and will thrive during the New Year.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
     We should like to call our reader's attention especially to the letter in this issue from Col. Joe Matthews concerning our recruiting efforts. While this letter has been sent out to non-members and to non-renewing members only at present, we believe that it should be digested and acted upon by every one of us. We are sure that there is not one member of this organization who has ever put forth all the effort he could have in persuading friends of the worth of this organization. If you have ever thought, "I should write to so and so and ask him to join up" and then failed to do it, you are guilty as charged. (We: Guilty). How about this time, just this one time, getting right at it. We know you are anxious to read the rest of this CUB, but it will keep. Maybe your good intentions won't. Get a note off to that foxhole buddy (or Tennessee maneuvers buddy) right now.
     It might be helpful for the membership if we were to give them some idea of the time limits involved in getting an issue of the CUB to them, from the time information is first made available to the editor until it is in your hands. To use the present issue as an example, the Editor started typing articles for the CUB about the tenth of October. He also sent requests to regular correspondents asking that their material be in his hands by 25 October. As that material starts coming in, it is collated with what the Editor already has made up and a rough draft of the CUB is set up - number of pages, page arrangement, and so an. By about 3 November, the material will be ready for delivery to the printer. He then starts setting type and will have proofs ready for checking about a week after that. In some cases. it may be necessary to read proofs several times or to make last minute corrections so that the final go ahead for printing will be given him perhaps by 17 November. That painstaking job is done in about a week, so the copies will be ready for shipment by parcel post to the adjutant on about 25 November. By the time it reaches him and envelopes are addressed and the individual CUBS placed in them, another couple of weeks will have passed. You will then receive your CUB about two months after the editor started work on it.
    Any material which reaches the editor after about 25 October will be held over for the next issue. In some cases of course, material which need not reach the membership at a certain date may be held over so that the size of the CUB from issue to issue may be more nearly equal.

    Your friends will never know what a fine organization we have unless you tell them. Every Christmas card to a wartime buddy should include a note asking him to join the Association.
    Send in your contribution now to the Memorial Fund. A building as impressive as the one on our cover deserves a fine dedication ceremony.
SEASON'S GREETINGS TO ALL
from
MYRTLE AND AUSTIN BYRD

IS OUR FACE RED!
WE REALLY CAN COUNT; WE SIMPLY DIDN'T
    Of course, we know now that the convention in Fort Worth was the Fifteenth for our organization, not the Sixteenth as we referred to it in our last issue. Likewise, the one coming up in Annapolis will be the Sixteenth, not the Seventeenth. A corrected copy of the advance notice appears below. We would like to thank all the friends who noticed our error and were kind enough not to call our attention to it; we would also like to thank those who didn't notice it since they would probably have written us a letter about it
16th ANNUAL CONVENTION
JULY 26th to 29th, 1962
CARVEL HALL
ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND
"IT'S THE THING TO DO
IN '62"

    The following article is intended for publication in your local paper on 16 December as publicity for the 106th Division Association. Will you help the Association by clipping along the dotted line and submitting it to the Editor of your local newspaper?

     (Editor: The following information is intended for publication on 16 December 1961, the seventeenth anniversary of the outbreak of the Battle of the Bulge of World War II. If your paper does not issue an edition on that date, will you change the wording of the first sentence so that the article can be published on the last ices date preceding the sixteenth. As the article notes, the 106th Division included members from virtually every part of the United States, so the information should be of general interest).
WORLD WAR II VETERANS COMMEMORATE BULGE ANNIVERSARY
     Throughout the nation tonight, veterans who are former members of the 106th Infantry Division, the Golden Lions, of World War II are meeting to commemorate the seventeenth anniversary of the outbreak of the Ardennes offensive of Field Marshall Gerd von Runstedt, the last offensive gasp of German forces during World War II. The struggle has become known throughout the free world as the Battle of the Bulge.
     The 106th Division, fresh from the United State, took the brunt of the early stages of the drive and by its gallant stand against numerically superior forces slowed the German plan until it could be contained by regrouped Allied forces. The greater share of the men of the 106th were taken prisoner during the third week of December 1944.
    Upon the conclusion of World War II, a group of veterans of the Golden Lions formed the 106th Division Association with the purpose of existing "to maintain, continue, and extend those friendships created as no other friendships can be, among those who faced death together on a foreign shore." An important phase of the Association's work has been the organization of memorial dinners each year since.
     Other activities of the Association include the publication of a magazine, "The Cub of the Golden Lion" for its membership, an annual convention of its members, and the construction of a memorial to its fallen comrades at St. Vith, Belgium, the headquarters of the Division at the time of the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. This memorial is now completed and has a flag originally flown over the U. S. Capitol flying over it. Dedication ceremonies will be held in the Spring of 1962 with representatives of the U. S. and Belgian governments and honor units of the U. S. Army in Europe in attendance- The memorial was constructed entirely from funds raised by the Association from within its own membership.
     National headquarters of the Association at 19 Hopkins Street, Hillsdale, New Jersey is the scene of continuous activity by the National Adjutant and Treasurer and assistants revising mailing lists, passing on information concerning members who have become separated from their friends, and coordinating plans for future activities.
     The 1962 convention will be held in Annapolis, Maryland with present plans calling for a Memorial Service to be held in the chapel of the U. S. Naval Academy by the Academy Chaplain and the Chaplain of the Association- Conventions are held annually in varying locations to accommodate the widespread membership.
