Cpl. C.O. Johnson is expected to arrive in Fairview this weekend from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he has been discharged from the army after two years and seven months of service.
“Brub” as he is known by most Fairview people began his hitch in the army at Camp Beale, California. After the initial phases of army training he was transferred to ASTP and was given special courses at the university in Salt Lake City, Utah. Later, Corporal Johnson was placed in the artillery and subsequently trained at Little Rock, Arkansas, and Camp Gordon, Georgia. Prior to discharge he has been stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, as a radar technician in the artillery.
Corporal Johnson is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Johnson of Fairview. His wife, June and small son Brent have remained in Fairview during most of the war. Upon returning here, “Brub” will immediately take over the active management of the Blue Rock Products Company from which work he left to enter the service. During the war “J.C.” drafted himself for this responsibility but is now looking forward to an extended furlough from the company which he has guided since before the first world war.
