Soldier returns to Joliet after 27 months overseas

Corp. George Princko, 26, returns to his mother Mrs. Anna Princko at 557 Elwood street after 27 months in the Aleutians. He served with an Army unit near Seabees in catering for trucks and diesel generators and called the Aleutians climate and terrain unappealing. Princko, who has lived through two world wars since infancy, is a St Cyril and Methodius graduate who worked at Rendels before induction. This is his first furlough in 33 months of service and he leaves Friday for Camp Shelby Mississippi for further orders. He has five sisters Anna Helen Smith Lucille Loretta and Dolores.
