Man 78 Goes Down to Sea Again
Glenwood Illinois veteran Andrew J. Wilson, 78 years eight months, receives orders to report for ocean duty as a Merchant Marine chief engineer.

He never sailed on the ocean before and expects to haul food and medical supplies, perhaps wounded soldiers, amid new duties aboard a passenger ship or freighter.
