SLD4 HUSTON RElURNS

At this t ime of Thsnksgiving we here in Honolulu heve a special r eason to be thankful - the safe return from a Japanese prison camp of our old friend and fellow Standard Oil er Ronald N (SUm) Huston

Slim who 1E1S Sub-oStation Agent on Guam was captured on December 8 1941 (December 7 Hawaiian time) when Guam WlS

invaded by the Japanese ruter spending nearly fllur years in prison camps in Formosa and Kob~ 18 months of which time vias spent in hospital suffering from blood poisoning as Ii result of an infected shrapnel wound in his foot sustained during the pre-invasion bombing of Guam Sl1m arrived at Pearl Harbor on October 10 1945 aboard the U S S Joseph DickmWl None of the 2000 liberated prisoners of war were allowed (lshore but a number of Slims friends ere permitted to visit him on board and th~y report that although he naturally showed signs of his ordeal particularl~- in the matter of los~ of ~veight (he we1t from his normal 220 Ibs to as low as 140 Ibs at one time) he is nevertheless in fairly good shape physic~ and very alert mentally and after a few months r est and an opWrtudty to enjoy some of the comforts of life we all hope that he will be his old self again
