McCullom Lake Men Effect Heroic Bescue Of Family From Fire The heroic efforts of two Mc-1 family stunned as they attempt- Cullom Lake m«*n were created ed to flee from the burning this past week with saving the lives of six members of one family when fire destroyed their home last Saturday morning. One of the six, Thomas Tyk, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Tyk of Rt. 1, Crystal Lake, was in critical condition in Sherman hospital the first of the week as the result of burns suffered as he attempted to return to the burning building. Dave Hansen of McCullom Lake was on his way to work at the Kenney Electric in Elgin about 7:30 and was approaching the top of the Terra Cotta hill when he noticed an exceptional amount of smoke arising from the chimney of a one-str.ry house just off Rt. 31. * Because of the early hour, and with the realization that if trouble did exist it might go unnoticed at that time, Hansen decided to investigate. His first thought was to get assistance, which he did by driving his car across the highway in order to get the attention of a state police car which was approtching from the opposite direction. In the patrol car was another McCullom Lake man. Wtlbert Hecht, who is with the State Police force, and another patrolman, Jack Meyers. The three men hurried to the Tyk home where they found the building. Thomas, who was the first awakened by smoke and flames which spread rapidly, ran from bedroom to bedroom, arousing other members of the family. Break Door The men were unable to gain entrance at first as the doors were locked, but managed to break a rear door ani get inside just as the family was awakening and attempting" to escape the fire. Hansen stood outside a window and two of the children jumped into his arms. Mr. tnd Mrs. Tyk managed to walk out. and with the help of the state policemen assisted the other children in reaching safety. The Crystal Lake fire department was called but flames had gained such headway before they were discovered that the home was destroyed before volunteers could get it under control. Almost all of the family clothing and house furnishings were lest. The children, besides Thomas, none of whom was seriously burned, were Edward, 10, Linda, 6, and Ji$dy. 3. - Not satisfied with the great amount he had already done for this unfortunate family, Hansen put young Thomas Tyk in his car and rushed him to Sherman to be the usual message from the Army received each year at this time, saying that the whereabouts of their son was still unknown. However, since Feb. 12 of this year marks three years since he was first listed as missing, the Army has presumed that he is dead, along with many other United States servicemen who have been .gone more thail a year. Two days after the first word came last week, the Justens re* ceived the Purple Heart decora-* tion and in a.letter were informed that the Gold Star lapel button, United Nations service medal and ribbon bar pertinent to the Korean service medal with one bronze service star were being forwarded under separate cover from Philadelphia. The Korean service medal Is not yet available. The young serviceman had been promoted to corpowkl |rift before he was lis^JxS ai and it is uncertain whsmt1 (Mr not he ever learned of his rank. The last word received by the parents waa written the end of January, 1961, and was received a week liter. He had been In the Seoul area at that time but he wrote that American fonset were about to be evacuated. Hasty Note Whereas previous letters had been written on government stationery, this was a hastily written note on a scrap of paper. He stated then that he was feeling fine. With tiie note was some Korean paper money wfiich he wanted saved until his return. Only once previously had he told of the hardships suffered in that area during the winter. When Che men slept in cold buildings with no windows. It was not until the following September that his parents received word from the army regarding his exact location, ft stated that "Corp. Gerald W. Justen became missing in action when his company's defense positions were overrun during an attack by the opposing forces, in the vicinity of Chowon-ri, South Korea, on. Feb. 12, 1951. After the attack^ he could not be located." Corp. Ju&tert was serving wttli the second infantry division, 9th regiment, Co. K. 57 MM Recoilless Rifle section. The young man entered service Sept. 23. 1950. and left tl» States in October of that year. After only a week in Japan, he was sent on to Korea. Previously he had served in the Army from January of 1949 to January of 1950 and was then placed ia the reserves for a year. H# attended- the McHenry schools and later farmed with his father until becoming employed by the Chicago Metal Hose company in Elgin. Besides his parents, Gerald had a brother, Eugene, now in his twelfth year in the Army, stationed in Japan; another brother, Jack, who is a junior student at the University of Illinois ; and a sister.
