My dear Senator George:
I desire to acknowledge further your letter of June 23,
1942, in behalf of Mrs. Edward Preetorius, in reference to an
allotment from her brother, Samuel Robert Owens, Torpedoman
Second Class, U. S. Navy, who is now among the enlisted personnel
carried by this Bureau in the status of "Missing".
In accordance with Public Lav/ 490, approved March 7, 1942,
the allotment registered by Owens in favor of his mother in the
amount of $20.00 per month, was placed in suspension following
the report that the grantor was missing in action, since the
purpose of this allotment was not designated. Before definite
action can be taken to have the allotment in favor of Mrs. Owens
continued, it is requested that she have the enclosed affidavit
properly executed and return same to this Bureau.
The Navy Department is making concerted effort to locate
its missing personnel, however, several months may elapse before
the fate of Owens can be determined. If, after reasonable time,
the circumstances warrant an official declaration of death by the
Secretary of the Navy, action will then be taken toward settlement
of Owens' affairs, and the payment of his insurance and other
benefits will be made to his dependents.
Sincerely yours

My dear Senator George:
I desire to acknowledge receipt of your communication
dated June 10, 1942, enclosing letter from ijs. Sd.vard Preetorius,
of Box #1, Hunters, Georgia, written in the interest of her mother,
who is anxious to obtain definite information as to the fate of
Samuel Robert Owens, Torpedoman second class, U. S. Navy.
Upon a review of the record of OVENS, it is noted that he
was a member of the crew of the U.S.S. CANOPUS, which vessel was
destroyed by the U.S. Forces to prevent its being of use to the
enemy in event of capture of Bataan. However, he was undoubtedly
transferred from that ship prior to its destruction, as he "was
attached to the Submarine Base, Fort kills, Philippine Islands on
February 17, 1942. A report from the Commandant Sixteenth Naval
District, showed OVENS to be serving in the Manila Bay Area on
March 20, 1942. This was the last report from that area and since
the fall of Corregidor his fate is not known.
On iaay 11, 1942, the Navy Department sent a despatch to
07i:.iiS father, Mr. Stephen J. Owens, of Webster North Carolina,
which stated that O.EMS will be carried on the records of the
Department as "missing", pending further information. No report
of his death or injury has been received, and it may be that he
is now a prisoner of war.
Mrs. Ovjens great anxiety is appreciated and please be
assured that any further report will be communicated directly
to her.
Sincerely yours,
RANDALL JACOBS

Franklin Cascaes: alegorias da modernidade na Florianópolis de 1960 e 1970
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Na década de 1950, Florianópolis foi marcada por uma política modernizadora. Por um lado, tal ideal buscava equiparar economicamente a capital do Estado de Santa Catarina ao restante do Brasil. Por outro lado, as autoridades locais pretendiam desenvolver a região de Florianópolis, atrasada economicamente em comparação com outras regiões do estado. Durante as décadas seguintes, tal processo modificou drasticamente a organização social da Ilha, tanto nas áreas urbanas como nas áreas rurais. Franklin Cascaes iniciou suas pesquisas neste contexto, buscando organizar fidedignamente a memória coletiva dos antigos moradores das freguesias pesqueiras. Mas Cascaes não omite em sua produção plástica as transformações ocorridas na Ilha: tanto os desenhos quanto as narrações sobre bruxas, além de representarem a experiência tradicional dos antigos narradores da Ilha, problematizam o processo de modernização da cidade. In the 50', Florianópolis was outstanding by a policy of modernization. In the side, such idea search to equate economically to the capital of the state of Santa Catarina to the rest of Brazil. In another side the local authorities to develop the region of Florianópolis economically diphase compare with the others regions from the state. During the next decades such process change drastically the social organization of the island, even in urban areas as in the rural areas. Franklin Cascaes started his researches on this context, he was trying to organize trustworthily the role memories of the old neighbors from the fishing customers. But Cascaes doesn't omit in his productions the transformations occurred in the island: even the draws as the narratives about witches beside the representative the traditional experience from the old neighbors from the island, increase the problem the modern city's process
