The world outlook is dark today— Dark )rom the human point oj view For sidful men have m ighty sway, Faithful Christians seam but few. The curse of war is in the earth, And hatred seems to be in style, W hile demon forces still give blrtb To things more cursed all the while But God is vet upon His throne And rules the mighty universe, And will protect and Mess His own And save them from sin’s dreadful curse, And takes them safely through the clouds Of danger, darkness and despair, Then safely lands them with the crowds T hat get to Heaven sweet and fair. Then, listen dear, trust God today In spite of all tbe crime and sin; Look up to Christ and humbly pray T hat H e will ever keep you in The narrow way that leads to God W here angels, saints and sages reign, And where these is no chastening rod. Nor sorrow, suffering, death nor pain. Be humble, gentle, patient, good And live to do God’s holy will, Then walk life’s pathway as you should. And climb up manhood’s noble hill, Until you reach tbe summit grand. And Heaven smiles upon.your face Where you shall dwell in that fair land And with the holy take your place. Speaking of Billions In these days of billions, instead of millions, how many of us really ap preciate just how much a billion dol lars is? Statisticians have figured out, however, that if a person born at the time of Christ had been given a billion dollars to spend at tbe rate of $1,000 a day and could live until bis money was gone, he wonld still have about 800 years to go. By now he would just about h a v e finished spending his first seven hundred mil lion dollars! Read that last paragraph again; then refiect soberly on this astound ing fact: During 1943 Federal ex penditures totalled 88 billion dollars, or approximately 241 million dollars every 24 hours. Do vou envy the members of tbe Appropriations committees in Con- who are now holding hearings on the one hundred billion dollar Fed eral budget for the next next fiscal year? Compared with t b e Massachu setts colonists of 170 years ago who staged the Boston Tea Partv over a picayune total of taxes amounting to $2 ,7 0 0 the tax payers of this gen eration are a patient and complac. ent lot. Bnt their dandei seems to be rising—with a threat of a pro test to be staged at the ballot box next November. To Wives and Parents of Soldiers If you are sending The Re cord to your husband or son who is in the armed forces, please see that his subscrip tion is paid in advance. W e are forced to discontinue all subscriptions to the boys-in foreign lands or in army camps in this couatry when their subscriptions expires. The soldiers want their home paper. W e have had to mark several names off our books this week. Maybe one of them was your husband or son. Somewhere In the South West Pacific Darling you Ba; you are Ionelv each time you write.

I want vou to smile at the mean old world Because you are my darling, my own little girl. Tbe above poem was written by Pfr, Jake M. Reynolds, who is serving in the Southwest Pacific to his wife, who lives at Cooleemee. The House Of Cards Mr. Murray, head of the GIO, ar gues that because the cost of living has risen higher, according to gcv< eminent statistics, wages must con- tinue to rise. This means increased cost of production and still higher prices. The game being played by promin ent labor leaders is like the child hood pasttime of building a house of cards—inevitably o n e last card brings the structure toppling down There is no reason for our country suffering a devasting eollapse if our people will use their God-given in telligence. instead of following tbe easy money, no work boys, as sheep follow a blind leader over a preci pice —Ex. That Hundred Billion No wonder the Congress gasped at the suggested Federal budget for the next fiscal year—one hundred billion dollars for one year’s costs. Pencil pushers have been trying to work out a picture of what that sum means. Maybe this will do it; dig up a million dollars a day, every day. Sundays, holidays and all. year after year for just ten days less than 274 years, Bnd if you have lasted that long you will have dug up that hund red billion. We must win the war, but it is not disloyal to share the growing feeling that the non-war spending must be cut to the bone, commenc ing now.—The Dakota Farmer, A berdeen, S. Dak. Many independent voters join Re publicans in wondering why the De mocrats plan to hold a national con vention in 1944. They’re talking a- bout only one candidate for the no mination for President. ■ “ Presidents come and Presidents go, but President Roosevelt doesn’t think much of tbe idea.” —Boudet- te, Minn., Region. That Makes It Unani mous Republican members of Congress have taken the Initiative in bring a- bont a revision and simplification of the complicated Federal income tax forms with which taxpayers are now struggling. Democratic Chairman Doughton of the House W ays and Means Com mittee wants “ above everything a simplification of the tax laws.” Taxpayers who have received the voluminous blanks to be filled out for the income tax return on March 15 will agree wholeheartedly. Blanks in the past have been suf ficiently complicated, and they have been sufficiently complicated, and they have been growing more and more complicated every year. But the 1944 products equals all that has gone before, plus additions that were never dreamed of before this twelfth year of the New Deal. One taxpayer writes that he does not object to the money he has to pay in income tax, because he knows the Government needs it and feels that he should pay to the limit of his ability, but he admits that he is “ harassed, puzzled, in dignant, flustered, annoyed vexed, fretted plagued, tormented, molest ed, tantalized, perplexed, chafed, galled, badgered and agitated, not to mention disturbed—when I read and try to understand the Internal Revenue Bureau’s tax return Form 1040.” One Way Of Life If the American way of life is to continue, we must have more liber ty, more lepresentative government —not less. Star-chamber execu tive sessions of tbe W bite House ‘palace guard” must cease. So must government by veto and one man flat and “executive order . ’1 The Congress must reassume its responsibilities; and the courts roust regain their old constitutional dig nity. The presidential terms should be strictly limited to a maximum of two four-year terms. Govenment by bureaucracy must be abolished. These overdue reforms are absolute ly essential and indispensable to tbe restoration and security of Ameri can Republic.—Fort Wayne, Ind., News-Sentinel.

Already Dead A certain Missouri editor refuses to publish obituary notices of peo pie who, while living, failed to sub scribe to his newspaper, and gives this pointed reason: “ People who do not take the home town paper are dead anyway, and their pass ing away has no news value.” ^Hinne " niR ^BONDS Advance Man Com mended Charleston, S. C.—For bis cour ageous action in recruiting a ship mate from the wreckage of bis ship following an attack by enemy dive bombers, N . R. Bailey of Advance, N. C , has received a letter of com mendation from the commendation from the commander of an amphi bious force and has been promoted to the rating of boatswain’s mate second class. The letter reads; “ On 17 December, 1943, at Ara- we, New Britian, a coastal trans port. APc 21, in which you were serving as coxswing, was attacked by a group of Japanese dive bomb ers. Your ship suffered on bit and a near miss and immediately began to sink. “ W ith decks awash and all bands abandoning ship, you noticed a shipmate, who had been dazed by tbe explosion, caugbt in tbe wreck, age. W ith disregards for your own safety you went to that man’s as sistance and cleared him of tbe wreckage and thereby saved his life. “Commander task force takes great pleasuae in commending you for this courageous act. Your con duct was in keeping with the best traditions of the United States Navy. “ By virtue of tbe authority vest ed in me, and in recognition of your especially meritorious service you/ commanding officer is direct ed to effect your advancement in rating from coxswing 1 0 boat swain’s mate second class. “ Your commanding officer will hie a copy of this letter in your service record.” Food-For-Victory Plowed Under More tban 40.000 acres of vege tables have been plowed under in Texas’ fettile lower Rio Grande Val ley by farmers angered to almost open revolt by what they term in excusable government bungling pre vents them from from maketing tbe crops except at a loss. Most of the acreage destroyed is in cabbage but other vegetables turnips included spinach, broccoli, turnip, beets, ra dishes and mustard greens. Farmers assert that thecbief cause of theic troubles is bureaucratic re gulation as exemplified in the edicts of tbe OPA relative to ceiling prices and the red tape involved in obtain ing truck tires Because of the low ceiling on tbe prices at which they must sell their produce, the -high cost of harvesting labor, and in crease shipping expenses, the farm er contend they would lose money if they marketed the crops.

Minn., on April 18, 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt said: ’There will be many in this na tion during the coming months who will implor - you not to swap horses crossing a stream; there will be others who will laughingly tell vou that the appeal should have been worked. Do not swap toboggans while you are sliding downhill.’ But it seems to me that the more truth ful. the more accurate plea to tbe people of the nation should be this: ‘If the old car, in spite of frequent emergency repairs, has been bump ing along downhill on only two cy linders for three long years, it is time to get another car that will start up hill on all four.” This speech has been preserved for prosperity io “Public Addresses of Franklin D Roosevelt.” Vol. I, pages 638 639. In 1944 the voters cf the nation will substitute “eleven long years” in tbe above quotation and accept tbe advice given by Candidate Roosevelt. Recent election returns indicate that they have decided that it is high time to swap horses, tobaggons, the old auto—and even presidents— in their determination to get across the stream and back to balanced budgets lower taxes, less regimentation, and Constitutional government.

T A SERIES OF 'SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING rWAR CORRESPONDENTS' Wartime Shopping ■ in Naples By Doris Fleeson (W N U Feature— Through special arrangement with Woman's Home Companion.) As a woman here in Naples and just back from the fighting front. I’m often reminded of the wisecrack that Americans are fighting the war for souvenirs. Certainly the No. I occupation of the Fifth army men when off duty is shopping for gifts for their women back home. The rush to buy is tremendous, despite rising prices and the fact that goods are getting scarcer. The early birds, for instance, got silk stockings. Remember? Italy was a partner of Japan. Now the popu lar light shades are exhausted and the few stockings left come in dark dismally unflattering shades. Besides silk stockings, a run has been made on gloves and on coral, tortoiseshell and cameo jewelry. Back home now it ought to be easy to spot a girl with a Fifth army beau. It often seems to me that my most important job here is to be shopping consultant for about a hundred thou sand men, all of whom need help. I am the girl who knows what’s what—or that’s what they tell me. My entrance into a shop, or my passing a street peddler, is the sig nal for all the soldiers present to rush me for advice: “Will my girl like this? Do you think this will fit my mother?” Stockings were easy because I know they are welcome anywhere, and a quiz session with the soldier gave me a reasonable chance to guess the correct size. But I am forced to admit that the last woman I saw wearing a cameo was my grandmother, and I perspired trying to think up just what to say when a soldier held one of these ornate brooches in his hand and said hope fully: “Don’t you think my girl would like this?” If the cameo was for his mother I didn’t worry so much. I figured the mother would never admit that anything her son sent her was other than just what her heart desired. But I did want to guard against hav ing the gentleman disappointed by his girl friend’s response. So I preached a strong anti-junk cam paign. Lots of Gaudy Junk. But mountains of parcels poured out of Italy, and lots of junk must have been included. The boys tried hard. I can testify that they searched, bargained and debated for hours before they made up their “Bundles for America.” Their self consciously pleased expressions as they sent the packages off were deeply touching. Mail means the world to them, and they were reply ing in kind. Mail — any mail — is the great event. Not so much what’s in a let ter or a package—although that is important too, and any commander can tell which boys have whiners at home—just the getting of it is what counts. Home town newspapers are prized—the smaller the town the bet ter. News that has a personal touch is what’s wanted, and characters in small town newspapers have become real, even to boys who never heard of the place in America. Besides being an inveterate shop per, the Fifth army lad off duty is an inveterate sightseer. The ruins of Pompeii, the environs of Vesuvius and the famous Isle of Capri are overrun. Pompeii’s shattered mar bles have no impact for the boys who have seen endless numbers of bombed towns, but stories about the antiquities still fascinate them. Another popular sight is the huge Caserta, the palace which Ferdinand IV built for his consort in the 18th century. Its magnificent staircase, throne room and opera house have survived both our bombs and the Germans’, and therein the army Joes and the nurses happily bur lesque royalty. Speaking of royal palaces reminds me of my Naples apartment, which I share with Red Cross girls and whatever visiting firewoman comes along—one night a dignified hospital inspector, the next night two sloe eyed Italian dancers giggling hap pily over their soldier audiences' en thusiasm. I’m reminded because, as the old vaudeville joke has it, my apartment and the royal palace are so different—though compared with the front it is a palace indeed. Filled With Equipment. The rooms are piled high with bed rolls, helmets and canteens, but the beds are soft and sheeted and there is a place to hang clothes. The main room is regally spacious, mar ble-floored and well ventilated—the ventilation, to be sure, owing to re peated bombings. A brisk walk from the main room brings one to a bathroom where, at the price of smoky rooms and a lungful of carbon dioxide, it is pos sible to build a fire in a small stove and wring out of it three inches of rasty hot water.

Senator Lucas (111.), left, I and Senator Green (R. I.), CO-1 authors of original measure, Iooif I over compromise bill. I (T his is one o f a series of exclusive articles on the current fertilizer situation.) Whether or not we have produced enough fertilizer to enable the farm er to meet war food needs is hot ly d eb ated by men responsible for the nation’s food p ro g ram . The answer de pends upon one’s point of view; but we can start from two premises up on which all can agree. These are: I. The U nited States is not going to have all of the food it wants this year. On February 7, the National Live Stock Producers’ association warned that despite the rush of meat now going to market “within a short period of only 60 days this country will be practically on a famine basis with respect to the supply of beef.” It added: “By the end of 90 days the pork supply will have shifted from a feast to a famine basis.” Department of agriculture esti mates indicate less serious short ages, but on the important item of cheese, which is a meat substitute, a decline of 18 per cent in civilian consumption is foreseen, and a drop of 23 per cent in condensed and evaporated milk supply is indicated. 2. It is also established that a larger fertilizer supply could in crease food production greatly, if a way were found to put the fertilizer to use on the land. Difference in Viewpoint From these premises it might seem like an easy jump to the con clusion that the department of ag riculture and fertilizer companies ought to put on a campaign to in duce farmers to adopt the best mod ern farming methods. Examination, however, of the attitudes of those who believe this should be done, and those who do not, reveals broad grounds for disagreement. The point of view of the TVA is that food needs should be estimated in the same manner as require ments for ships, planes, tanks and guns—on the basis of what is needed to win the war. If more food is needed, and using more fertilizer is the most economical method of growing more food and saving labor, then we must have more fertilizer- even if the government must pay for it and distribute it below cost. The men directing the fertilizer industry, together with many oth ers, regard the TVA as a “social istic” experiment which threatens independent enterprise. And they regard in much the same light the soil conservation program of the Ag ricultural Adjustment agency, under which hundreds of thousands of tons of fertilizer hgve been delivered to farmers in exchange for practicing soil conservation, which often in volves considerable labor. * * • Furthermore, the industry points to the steady growth in the use of fertilizer in recent years. This year it is estimated some 12,000,000 tons of fertilizer will be consumed in the United States, compared with 7,548,- 000 tons in 1938—an increase of 52 per cent in five years. This rate of increase is just about as fast as farmers are likely to change their fertilizing habits, the industry main tains. And to clinch their argu ment they point out that the sale of fertilizer has closely followed the cash income of farmers; and they don’t see the cash income of farm ers rising much higher. Critical Materials? From its point of view, the War Production board argues that if we can produce enough food without building new fertilizer plants, we shall save critical materials. The department of agriculture has a different problem. One of its lead ing agronomists, Dr. Walter C. Low- dermilk, points out that if the mar ginal land in this country were re tired for pasture and fruit crops, and just the good land placed under intensive cultivation, it could then support a population of more than 300,000,000 persons—some say 450,- 000,000. It is clear that if the yield of most- of the best land were to be in creased by one-third, as much of it could be by application of the best farming methods, that hundreds of thousands of marginal farmers might become little better than American peasants, and the farm ers with best farms, most capital and greatest initiative would be very much better off. When one looks at such a problem through the eyes of government, one suddenly beholds a political night mare. The fertilizer companies, how,ev er, are moving forward steadily. They have carried on for years a campaign to increase the use of fertilizer economically. Tliis “so cialistic” plan that TVA has intro duced, seems unpleasantly “revolu tionary” to them. But we are now faced with a serious meat shortage, the livestock men assert. Milk and butter may not be too plentiful. Even as it is, not all farmers will get as much fertilizer as they re quest, because of difficulties in pro duction, transportation and labor.

Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y ©.WHITE 6V i r : T p / t i t s W-N.U.TI THE STORT THUS FAR: Lieut. CoL Prank Kurtz, pilot o( the old Flying For* tress, known as MThe Swoose,” which escaped from Clark Fields tells of that fatal day when the JTaps struck In the Philippines. Old 99» another Flying For* tress, is struck down before It can get off the ground, killing eight of her crew. Knrtz explains how Old 99 was due for camouflage, then orders were counter* manded, and instead they were to load with bombs. Then be was ordered to Jerk the bombs and reload with cameras for a reconnaissance trip over Formosa. They get word over the air that bombs are dropping over Clark Field. Then all are electrified by the shout, “Here they come!'* CHAPTER m “I hadn’t long to wait, because the nose of that leading V had passed the bomb-release line, and now came 1he first, unmistakable whistle—just as we’d heard it thousands of times over Muroc—and then the dull cr-r- rump! The first bomb of their pat tern had hit way un the field, three thousand yards away. I didn’t know then it had hit the mess hall I had just left, and killed Bill Cocke, our group engineering officer. “But now was the time to run for our lives, because here came more whistles, and the nose of the formation was over us now, like a huge cloud with giant hailstones fall ing from it. “So now GIenn and I ran for the nearest foxhole. It was a shallow one, two feet deep, built to hold one man, but we both jumped for it, and not until later did we realize there was a man already in it. We could think of nothing then except this earthquake roar and grinding and the whistling of a mighty storm mov ing down the field. You see there were about seventy planes in that formation, and each plane was to drop a train of about twelve bombs, wfiich made around eight hundred bombs that were to cover that rec tangular pattern in about the time it’s taking me to say a few of these sentences. Meanwhile we were bracing ourselves —getting o u t arms and legs adjusted, worming as low as we could in that shallow hole— for what we knew was coming. I pulled my tin hat down to cover the side of my face and cheek against bomb fragments. Now it began. Not so much the thunderous roars as the shaking—at its mildest, the hard dirt quivered like a steel-tired truck thundering over cobblestones, and at its worst, bucked and pitched like a bronco. I kept feeling if I could only stay on a little longer I would live, because death was very close now—the grinding roars and whis tles, the quivering, pitching earth— was coming closer, was thundering over us. And then quite suddenly was gone—the bomb trains had crossed the field, the pattern abrupt ly ended a thousand yards beyond it, and the Japanese formation was moving off. “Yet even as the low hum of mo tors died away we were afraid to move. I was afraid to take my tin hat from my face for another half minute, because maybe another V might be above us at its bomb- release line, and other trains might start thundering down. “But the quiet continued and now we raised up in our trench. The black cloud of bombers was moving off, empty of its hailstones—proba bly just now closing their bomb-bay doors, wheeling in the distance to ' head back for home. It was very still except for a rising crackle of fire—the smoke from our burning : planes was just starting, the climb ing columns had not yet blossomed into thick black plumes. “But over this crackle we could hear another hum. Then we saw it, ' as we peered east over the edge of the field: a string of fighters—they must be our P-40’s! We didn’t know that all but a few of our P-40’s had been bombed and shot down and their field ruined before the bomb ers came to us. “So we stood there brushing the dirt from our clothes (one bomb had ■ hit only fifteen feet away from me) and watched this formation ap proach. They were coming around beautiful Mount Arayat in a long string like geese flying north in the fall, and at only a little higher alti tude—say 2,000 or 3,000 feet. "Can you blame us for feeling good—to see some of our own gang in the air at last? "AU of a sudden Glenn Rice yelled, " ‘Look! For God’s sake look at that red circle!’ There it was on those up- cocked wings—not a lipstick red, but a kind of orange red, the Rising Sun of Japan. They weren’t P-40's, as we now could see, but Nakajimas— and some Zeros—coming in from the direction of Corregidor, an attack string, each Jap leaning out as he circled to pick out which Fortress on the ground he would attack. “As they circled we could hear our ammunition dump going up—it was like Fourth of July as the bombs burst in the heat—and in between the bangs there was that rising crackle. “A three-quarter circle they made, like cracking a blacksnake whip over our already stricken airfield, and then they began to peel off to dean up with strafing what few For tresses their bombers had missed. “Ahead of me I could see men disappearing into a ditch—some div ing head-foremost into it. (Bob Mey er almost broke his neck.) I tum bled in, and when I picked myself up I saw a soldier deliberately, slow ly walking up’ to it, but just as he stood at the lip he seemed to col lapse and came tumbling down. I thought the earth had caved in un der his feet. Then as he struggled to his feet I saw his whole hip had been blown away. Now he collapsed in the arms of a sergeant and a private and died before our eyes— there was nothing we could do. “Meanwhile we are watching the Jap fighters. Near our ditch is a Fortress snugly in a revetment. “There is a sudden hammering of guns, and we see one of the Naka- jimas has picked out this particular Fortress as his prey. “Again and again the Jap comes in—making his approach (it was beautiful flying) after he has rolled out of his turn at about 150 feet— but his flight path brings him down as low as fifteen feet above the For tress’ wings. There is a routine about it. As he straightens out from his turn and comes at the big mo tionless bomber, first his small .25- caliber wing guns open up with a rattle, filling the air with a skein of tracers. Then, when these white threads show him he is dead on his target, we hear him open up with his 20-millimeter cannon. “And as he pulls up off the tar get, he sprays with steel the lip of the ditch right over our heads as He collapsed in the arms of a ser geant and died before our eyes. we crouch in the bottom. Each time we glimpse the pilot as he rolls in for the attack. He wears a yellow scarf, but for the rest, in goggles and helmet, he might have been any of us. I don’t think he notices us— he is too intent on the Fortress. It is only that we are right in his line of fire, and each time as he starts to pull up, his guns spray our trench lip before he has time to take his thumb off the button. “But suppose he does see us? Some of the men had been loading bombs when the attack came and have their shirts off—their white backs are wonderful targets. So now we start to organize ourselves in our rat trap, pounding away with orders. If he does spot us, all he’s got to do is come right down that ditch with his guns open. “What antiaircraft we have is thumping away now, but it isn’t do ing much good. In the first place it is so placed that the black smoke billowing up from the burning For tresses gets between the Zeros and the ground gunners, blanketing their field of fire. In the second place, it was never designed to operate at as close a range as three hundred yards. “So in our ditch we start a little war of our own—forty of us versus the Imperial Japanese Air Force; or rather those of the forty who have .45’s, which is the pilots and the bombardiers. Every time that Jap strafer comes over, we bang away *t him—I can’t say we do any damage, and all we had to show for it afterward was a damn dirty pistol to clean, but it gives us some satisfaction. “Meanwhile from all over the field you can hear two sound sequences— first the high rattle of the Jap .25- caliber wing guns as the tracers feel for the target, then the slower pounding of the cannon as they drive the main punch home—that I’ve de scribed before. The other sequence was more heartbreaking. You’d hear a rising, hissing p-p-pf-f-f-o-O- F F F! which means a tracer has gone sizzling into the gas tank of one of our dear old Fortresses—fol lowed quickly by a great roar (ev erything letting loose at once), which means that the burning gasoline has exploded her bombs. “But the Jap pilot with the yellow scarf who is working on the For tress in the revetment next us is now real Iy getting down to business, FEATURES coming in lower and closer each time. As we spot him coming tear ing in for the attack we yell out our orders and grovel on our faces as his wing guns rattle and his can non thump, followed by the ear- splitting roar of his motors as he swishes past over our heads—we popping futilely at the racing shad ow with our .45’s. "On the eighth pass his tracers found their target—there was the hissing roar of gasoline, and from every one of the many bullet holes in the fuselage there billowed black smoke, enveloping her completely. But he made the great mistake of coming back just once again—maybe only to see what he had done. But for whatever reason, at this point the antiaircraft opened up on him through a hole in the smoke. He seemed to jump a little in the air, and at the end of the run he didn’t chandelle as he usually did, but kept on going and—‘Look!’ somebody said. ‘A puff of smoke!’ Sure enough it was—only maybe he was only clearing his engine—but three sec onds later it was a definite black trail behind him. “We held our breath as he wob bled and wavered off like a wounded bird, and when he rolled over on one wing down behind the horizon, nev er to rise again, we let out a cheer that shook more dirt down the walls of our ditch. Because up to then it had been all their Saturday. “This seemed to signal the end of the attack, for now the Nakajimas and Zeros rose from the field like crows from a well-picked carcass and, falling into formation, disap peared around Mount Arayat in the direction of their carrier, which lay somewhere out of sight off Luzon down under the horizon. “Now we climbed out of the ditch and started back toward Operations to report. But first we had to walk around the wreckage of the poor old Fortress. We walked wide not only because of the shimmering heat, but because it was a shameful thing we could hardly bear to watch, which no one will understand who doesn’t love those big, beautiful fi n 's as we did. There she was in her death agony—the plates had wel tered quickly, leaving only her nak ed skeleton shimmering in the heat, and licked by oily flame. It made you sick and you wanted to look the other way. “The rest of the field was littered with charred skeletons of planes. You’ll remember the 19th Bombard ment Group had comprised thirty- five proud Flying Fortresses. A doz en of them had been down at Del Monte Field in the southern island of Mindanao and so escaped this attack. Colin Kelly, who had come up from Australia, was flying one of them. But of ail the rest which had been here on Clark Field, only five could be called airplanes any more. Even these five were badly damaged, and none of them could fly. But by pooling the five wrecks, replacing a wing here, a tail there, and taking two undamaged engines from a third, the Colonel hoped we could salvage in all, of the two doz en which stood on the field that morning, three planes which might get into the air—when the runway was cleared. “As for the boys who hadn’t come back from the hills yet, the Colonel wasn’t in the least worried. ‘It’s like any good hunting dog,’ he explained. ‘The first time you put steel across him, of course he’s scared. But aft er that—well, those fellows that ran away today will make as good sol diers as they come.’ “It was now late in the day, and he told me there was nothing t could do, and it would be all right to leave the target area until morn ing—in fact we’d better, because the Japs would probably be back to night. “Lieutenant Elmer Brown hap pened to be standing there with me, so we decided to go out together,' and I left my bike, because it wouldn’t be fair to Brownie. Brown ie, who always has had a comforta-> ble amount of money, said he’d call a taxi. But I knew nothing would come of that. The servants and al most everybody else were back In the hills, some of them still run ning, and anything you wanted done that day you had to do for your self. So we collected a bedding roll apiece at the barracks and started off down the road. We’d walked for quite a while when at a crossroads we came on a convoy of trucks—it was an antiaircraft outfit being moved back into position, I suppose where they could better protect the charred carcasses of our bomber*. “So we hooked a ride on one of these trucks, which was headed for 1 a little native village around the OthJ er side of our field and a reasonably, safe distance away. We got out' when they stopped and, going to the nearest house, by signs asked the owner if he had a room for the; night. He was a very nice fellow and took us upstairs to his own. I' don’t know where he slept. We un rolled our bedding on the bamboo floor and spread our mosquito nets,: and Brownie went right off to sleep.; “I lay awake. That ack-ack con voy was still moving in and getting settled. Now and then a truck-driv- er wouldn’t hear a sentry call ‘Halt!* and wotdd go rumbling by, and you would hear a rifle crack a couple qJ times, (TO BE CONTlNUBro S IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI cHooL Lesson By HABOLD L, LUNDQU 1ST, D.

CHRIST’S VICTORY OVER DEATH LESSON TEXT: I Corinthians 15:41-58. GOLDEN TEXT: Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.—I Corinthians 15:57. “If there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain’’ (I Cor. 15:13, 14). In other words, the truth of the resurrection is an indispensable foundation stone upon which the structure of Christian doctrine rests. Beware of those who would spiritu alize or explain it away! The facts are there—fully proved and dependable; there is no need for doubt or question. In our lesson we find: I. The Great Change (vv. 41-50). Since it is obvious that our present bodies are not suitable for the spir itual world (v. 50), and that there comes, sooner or later (and al most always, it seems, too soon!), an end to their existence, there must be a radical transforming change. This takes place in the resurrection of the body. To make such a blessed—and to the human mind, almost inconceiv able—truth clear, Paul uses the ef fective method of comparison and contrast Following his skillful use of the illustration of the sowing of grain, which dies that it may live again (I Cor. 15:35-39), he gives us a picture of the resurrection body. That which we must put away in the silent earth at the end of life’s day is a natural body, weak and lack ing eternal glory (v. 43). It has al ready shown the evidences of decay and corruption, which we know shall be completely manifested in a short time. Marvelous as it has been as an earthly body, it cannot go with us into eternity (w . 47, 48), for it is natural and not at home in the spiritual world. Note, then, the great change that takes place. In the resurrection, the body for the eternal activity of the believer stands out as glorious, in corrupt and incorruptible, powerful, spiritually quickened, and heavenly. What more could be said? Here we stand amazed and at the same time encouraged by the reve lation of what God has in store for us who believe on Christ. Death does not end all—it is only the be ginning of real fullness of life antf usefulness for the Christian. And all that is because of— II. The Great Victory (w . 51-57). Death is an enemy, indeed man’s great enemy. There are those who have tried to deny that fact, to ex plain it away. They talk about death as “the great adventure,” etc., but when one actually comes to face it, the truth is realized. It is an enemy. But in Christ, death is a con quered enemy. The blessed mes sage of Easter day is that “death! is swallowed up in victory”, (v. 54). Death could not hold our Lord' (v. 57), and He was the “first fruits of them that sleep” (v. 20). This as sures us that because He lives,, we too, who believe on Him, shall'live. So death has lost its sting, and the grave its victory (v. 56K With Paul we cry out today from the depths of our beings, “Thanks be to God,, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (v. 57). This is a day of joy, of singing, of victorious faith. But the joy of Easter is not sim ply something to warm one’s heart. It is— m . The Great Incentive (v. 58). Living for Christ and serving Him in this world is our greatest privi lege, but we are all so human that we need encouragement. We need an incentive. The Bible speaks much of the re wards of God to those who are faithful, and gives many assurances that we are not engaged in a vain task. At times it seems as though men only reject, and the work of the Lord moves but slowly, if at all. Let us not be discouraged or dis heartened. We follow and serve a victorious Christ, One who has tri umphed over death and hell. What we do for Him is never done in vain. Note the helpful thought here. We are to be “unmovable,” and yet “abounding.” That seems paradoxi cal, but it is not, for it is only the life steadfast and unmovable at the center which can abound at the circumference. TOat center is the resurrected Christ, and when we are established in Him, we are ready to live the abundant life for Him. Easter is a glad day for a believ er, but it is a sad day for the un believer. He may attempt to main tain an outward appearance of joy, but he will know in his heart that the message of the. day is definitely not for him. And yet it is, for today he may by faith take as his Saviotir the Risen One and enter into full ness of joy in Him. So many people “celebrate” Eas ter all their lives, year after year, but never truly “keep thd feast.” May many such friends make this Easter day, 1944, the beginning of a new life in ChristI i S 'VEN as inexpensive a fabric as ■*“* unbleached muslin can be 6made into mighty attractive aprons if you dress it up with \ ASK MB ??ANOTHER 7 A G e n e r a l Q u i z The Questions 1.

It seems likely that Dewey will be nominated for President on the Re publican ticket on the first ballot when the boys hold their conven tion in June at Chicago.

Must File Income Farmers may file their declarations of estimated tax April IS or may wait until December IS. Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Com missioner of Internal Revenue said today. Farmers are defined by the tax laws as those who receive SO per cent or more of their income from agriculturer Tney are the only taxpayers who have this choice of filing dates. “Before you make your decision, how ever." Commissioner Nunn advised farm ers, “you ought to realize that if you file April 15 you can make your income tax payments in four quasterly installments- but if you wait until December 15 you will have to pay the whole year’s estimated tax in one lump sum.” The commissioner explained that, when the pay-as-you-go system was adopted last year, it was reaiized that because of the seasonal nature and weather hazards of farming it might be difficult for some farmers to estimate their income and cal culate their estimated tax early in the year. For that reasen, they were given the option of waiting until December 15. However, many types of farming result in fairly even income through the year, and it may be to the advantage of some farm ers to file early and qualify for install ments. Farmers who want to file in April may calculate their tax by either estimatimat ing tbeir prospective income for 1944 or by assuming it will be the same as last year If the tax is based on last year's income'and this year's rates and exemp tions, and the payments are made on time, there can be no penalty if the estimate falls short Otherwise, a farmer's esti mate falls short. Otherwise, a farmer's estimate will not result in a penalty un' less it is more than 33 I 3 percent short. In any case, April estimates may be a- mended on June 15. September 15. The law requires farmers to file decla rations if they expect their income this year to be $500 or more In the case of a single person or more than $624 in the case of a married person. C. H. ROBERTSON, Collector. 13 Hurt In Wreck Thirteen persons were injured, but none serious, last Wednesday morning on the Winston-Salem highway, five miles from this city, when two buses collided.

J ACK BENNY’S feeling th at he hadn’t been given adequate publicity, and th at Bob Hope and Jim m ie D urante had, brought up a rem iniscence about Hope. Som eone said th at Hope w orks a t it—that, if he sees four soldiers standing on a street corner he grabs a pianist and does a show for them. “Back in 1938,” said somebody else, “Bob was doing a summer fill-in show, and we never could find him when we’d scheduled interviews, be cause he’d be off somewhere doing a benefit. He did benefits for churches, for clubs, for everybody who wanted him. He thought we were crazy to expect him to spend 'time on a newspaper interview when he could be working hard, for noth ing, for someone else.” “C olum bia Presents Corwin" stepped right to the top with the first broadcast; those Tuesday night programs have broken down the re sistance of people who say haughtily that they never bother to listen to any broadcasts but music. Of course, Norman Corwin long since m NORMAN CORWIN made radio history; he has always had new ideas, and is a pioneer in radio technique. He has won prac tically all possible awards. This series of dramatic presentations, done with excellent actors, ought to bring him a special one, and a host of new listeners. Marie MacDonald's going through the Hollywood “streamlining” proc ess—voice lessons, dramatic coach ing, dancing lessons, having her hair done a dozen different ways—pre paratory to playing a nice part in Hunt Stromberg’s “Guest in the House.” Before going to Hollywood two years ago she was soloist with Tommy Dorsey’s band and specialty dancer and singer at two smart New York night clubs. Nobody can say that John Carra- dine isn’t versatile. He has the heavy role in Wallace Beery’s new “Gold Town.” Movie-goers know him by his work in “Stagecoach,” “Reunion in France,” etc. And he's recently been tonring in Shake- spearean repertoire! If you had visited a rehearsal of CBS’ “Crime Doctor” you would think you’d stumbled onto a bunch of small boys playing cops and rob bers. “Take that—bang! bang!— you’re dead!” you hear, but it’s a grown man saying it. It’s all be cause of the shortage of blank bul lets and the lack of a reasonable facsimile. There are enough car tridges for performances, but not for rehearsals. ■ 1 !!; Connee Boswell, the Blue network songbird, has been appointed head of a nation-wide morale boosting or ganization of people who have “ar rived” despite physical handicaps.

I V J Quick Pickup . . . Cookies and M ilk (See Recipes Below) F ill the Cookie J a r Sometimes I think the cookie jar Js the favorite piece of equipment in the American home — especial ly in the kitchen. At least it’s, the most popular, and that’s not just among the young sters for many a time the oldsters make the path to the cookie jar just as often as the children. If there are cookies in the house, then it’s the kind of a house that spells “Welcome Home,” for cook ies are not just delightful to have, they often take the edge off hunger when it’s most necessary—after school, or after a meal to give it the finishing touch. Cookies aren’t hard to make. They last longer than cakes. They take less ingredients, and they go much further. Keep a list of favor ites on hand that will keep the cookie jar filled no m atter how popu lar that jar is! Save Used Fats! Oatmeal and peanut butter have long been popular ingredients in cookies, but here they are together —guaranteed to be doubly popular: Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Cookies. (Makes 4 dozen) 94 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoons shortening % cup brown sugar 34 cup granulated sugar 3A cup sifted all-purpose flour 34 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 36 cup water 1)4 cups oatmeal Cream peanut butter and shorten ing; add sugars gradually, cream ing entire mix ture. Stir in sifted dry ingredients and water. Add the uncooked oat meal. Chill dough. Roll dough thin on lightly floured board and cut with cookie cut ter. Dough may also be rolled and chilled and sliced Ve inch thick. Bake on a greased baking sheet in moderate (350-de gree) oven for 10 to 12 minutes. If partified cookies are desired, frost with powdered sugar icing when baked and decorate with can died cherries and nuts. Save Used Fats! Hermit Bars. % cup butter or substitute 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs, well beaten Ve cup milk or coffee I cup baking molasses or sorgbum 4 cups sifted cake flour 1 teaspoon salt Ve teaspoon soda 2 teaspoons baking powder A Lynn Says Make Cookies! It’s fun to make cookies when you have the “know-it-all” right at hand. Make it easy for yourself by following these simple directions: Start heating the oven before you actually make the cookies so all will be in readiness when you pop the sheets in the oven. Assemble all the equipment needed. Assemble and measure the ingredients. Prepare cookie sheets next. It cookies contain much fat, sheets need not be greased.

APRIL S. 1944 Ta the People of th is Community YOU CAN AFFORD IT Vou can a/ford to buy Extra War Bonds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than ever before— that both workers and farmers have more cash than ever before. Everyone knows that more than one member of hun dreds of fam ilies are income earners—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy Extra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can’t afford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can't afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a giK-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don’t .iust do the expected—buy All the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. W: IIJfi To the People Of this Community YOV ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- . p o rtan ce In ’ your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar total tor individuals. But multiply y o u rs e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he regained consciousness, asked: “Did I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourselt when you decide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. ' There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is "your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the win dow of your home. “Let’s Keep Backing the Attack" , THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid the stillest price in human life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest firepower along the beaches of this important Gil b e rt Islan d stronghold.This assault, bloody and costly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any liome in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Ger- many. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds in the 4th War Loan if you would help these boys. THE EDITOR. On the beaches of Italy, In the Jungles of the Pacific—planes, tanks, artillery must move—and fast; no waiting to build roads or airfields. That’s when our soldiers must un roll these “steel mattresses,’’ as you see them in this photo. Your War " I pay for them.V. S. Tnanny Dtfarlama Double Pincers Movement ■ Cl. S.

Hiddeoite. N. C' As we journey through life we are all contributing something to the worM, regareless of who we are, the place we occupy, or what we may be doing. Our contributions are blessing mankind, or cursing them, just according to what tbey are. Don’t forget this fact. None of us Hye to ourselves, neither do we die to ourselves. W e wield an influence. We are not isolated be ings. We associate one with an other. We rub shoulders along life’s pathway. Our contributions one to another in deeds, words, actions, thoughts, inventions, positions, e tc . mean som ething' They always amount to something, whether it be right or weong, helpful or detrimental. We are either contributing to God and H is blessed and glorious cause, or we are contributing to the devil and his damnable cause. It is one or the other. To whom are you contributing? Think this over aud think it through It is indeed a very serious matter to make our contribution to the world. Such means our welfare for time and eternity, or our dam nation; and it helps to mean the destiny, good or bad. of others If we contribute to God our lives, our precious time, our taients, our abil ity, and live lives of pra»er and godliness and beautiful, blessed, acceptable service and worship bi. fore God, we not only bring the blessings of our God upon ns, but we bring H is blessings upon others. On the other hand, if we live sin ful, wicked, mean, ungodly lives, and wield such an influence among our fellows, we bring damnation upon ourselves, and help bring it upon others, especially those who take pattern after us. Then let me ask you the solemn question again, to whom are vou contributing, God or the devil? It is great, sublimt and glorious to be faithful, untir ing contributors to God of our time talent, strength, means and influ. ence. It looks as though all man. kind would prefer this. We know such is best. It is worth while to live by and shall be vorth whiie to die by. However, it is ignoble, degrad ing, demoralizing and cursed to live for the devil, spend our time and talent, means and influence fer him, even using the golden 'oppor t unities God gives us of living great and doing much good, but turning them over to the adversary of our souls. For whom are you living? To whom are you contributing? Let’s contribute our all 10 God, This is life's better way.

The platform adopted by the North Carolina Republican con pen. tion contains plenty of punch, no tably in its excoriaiion of President Roosevelt and the New Deal and in its demand for certain changes in State government affairs, particul arly Jeforms in the conduct of elec tions. In fairness, it most be said that the platform contains much that will meet approval of many voters who are not Republicans Briefly stated, it calls for— Elimination of the vast squander ing of public funds for non essen tial purposes; discharge of the “e- normous body of workers now draw ing salaries from the Federal nay. roll” for work that could be done without them; submission of a coo. stitutional amendment lim ning the President’s incumbency to two terms of four years each; “ prompt and immediate elimination of all unnecessary regimentution of our people” : slimination of ‘'bureau* cracy whenever a n d wherever found” ; more practical sense and more business methods in the op* eration of O PA .” Enactment of such laws respect ing the rights of labor and capital “ as will bring al.out a spirit of mu tual CO operation” between them; recapture by laborers and business men of “the liberties they have lost” to the end that “ the sound ness and greatness of American in dustry” may be reassured; ‘’ade quate and fair Federal assistance io the veterans of the present World war” : “ discontinuance of all regi mentation after the war, including the system of ratioiing” ; ‘‘a pro gram of abundance now and after the war” ; simplification of all gov ernment reports and a simple in come tax law. No “ international W PA squan dering money to all the nations of the world" after the war; relieve the taxpayer by stopping waste of his money instead of higher taxes; “ a practical solution of the prob- ems of jobs after the war” ; “ more vigorous prosecution of the war a. gainst fapan” and promotion of VtacArthur to post of commander, in chief of all armies fighting Japan. Such in bare outline are 17 points of the 18 plank section of the plat, form dealing with national affairs. Reserved to the last, the 18th point is the plank dealing with the vit ally important and colossal prob. Iem of formulating and carrying out a program to insure world peace after this war is won. And the plank dealing with that all important subject seems to lack the punch that characterizes the phraseology of some others and by comparison is rather weak. It seems to place special emphas. is upon desire for a “ just peace,” sn much so that there seems to be an implication of fear that some body is not going to be treated iustly in the peace-making. That idea is further suggested in the in dorsement of the Herbert Hoover call for a “cooling off” period af ter victory is won, lest revenge and hate sit at the peace table, The plank on peace and it postwar inter national program says: “ The problem of a just peaue will be a difficult one requiring the best brains of Ul politica! parties We advocate a “ cooling off” period in order that revenge and hate may not sit again at the peace table. We favor the trial and punishment of all governmental and military leaders and henchmen of the Axis countries who are responsible for the war and the brutalities to s:ll civilians in occupied countries and to our prisoners of war. “ If a fair and just peace is effec- Charity Begins At Home?

In an editorial describing the ser ions need for tnany more tractors on Oklahoma farms than have been alloted to that state t h e Enid Morning News states: ' ‘Oklahoma farmers as a whole responded last fall to the demands of the Government to plant added acres to wkeat. As a result, they put in a total of 5.1 30,000 acres as compared to 3 ,8 0 0 ,0 0 0 acres for the 1943 crop. Is Washington going to allow this added acreage to go un harvested and to be wasted simply because it cannot or will not get the farm machine output to mini, mum pronimum promises at a time when steel and other necessary metals are becoming surplus com modities? The answer had better be forthcoming soon, unless the crop program is to fail, miserably and tragically, and through no fault of the farmers. •’ Read And Ponder, Lest We Forget CAN THE LORD DffEND ON YOU AND MB "IF MY POPlE WHICH ARE CAUED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACt AND TURN AWAY FROM THEIR WKKH) WAYS; THBi WIU I THEIR SIHS, AND WIU HEAL THEIR IAND."- HEAR IROM HEAVEN, AND WIU FORGIVE 2 CHROtt. 7:14. ted (presumably after the 'cooling off” period and only then in case the peace is fair and just) we then favor a co-operative organization a mong the responsible and trustwor. thy nations of the earth charged with the duty, power and responsi bility of maintaining peace through' out the world. “ Such an organization, howev. er, will never free the American people and their leaders from the duty ot constantly observing in the future the conditions of world af fairs We must never again let the national administration go to steep as it did prior to the present war, We favor the maintenance of armed forces adequate to pre. serve our territorial integrky, to repel attack and preserve peace ” This plank is probably more than the Republicans in Congress, in North Carolina and throughout the Nation would have supported in 1940 or in 1936, EIeanorWrites ALetter Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler.“Flabbergasted* by the leter he received from Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt In answer to a letter he had wrilteu enclosing two newspa per clippings about the negro sold, iers’ street gunfight with two peace officers at Ripley, Tenn , W. T. Straub, 5 6, Illinois Central railroad conductor, yesterday pondered the real meaning of the three-line an swer he received. Disturbed by the cryptic answer from the President’s wife, Mr. Straubsaid that on Jan. 2, be wrote Mrs Roosevelt and enclosed a clip, ning from The Commercial Appeal about ihe figbt at Ripley and an editorial from the newspaper cap tioned "T his Mnst Stop Now!” “ I don’t have a copy of the let. ter I wrote but I said, iu effect, that here is some more fruits of your work that I thought you would get further satisfaction from. I wanted her to know that some of us don’t approve of what she is doing.” Mr. Straub said he didn’t expect a reply, but when be received one last week, “ I was flabbergasted.” The letter, on Whice House sta tionery, read: “Dear Mr, Straub: ' I have your letter of Jan. 2, with enclosures These articles are sad reading for you—not for me. “ Sincerely yours, “ ELEANOR ROOSEVELT.” Mr. Straubsaid, “ I think I know what she meant, but I hate to be. Iieve what I think she meant. “ Could she mean that racial trou bles are welcome incidents and in. dicate to her a progress in her cam. paign for social equality?” " I wish that she had taken more time to explain her position iu her ietter. Since she failed to explain, Iam reluctantlyforced to believe that was her meaning,” Mr. Straub said he sent the let. ter and the two clippings from The Commercial Appeal because he wanted Mrs. Roosevelt to know what one respectable newspaper in the South thought about the strife that she, through her position, had more than any one person brought about.” ‘‘The people of the United States have a right to expect the wife of the President to conduct hetself In a dignified, gracious and ladylike manner. She has failed to do this because she has not even stopped using her position as the wife of the President to put across her own social views. “ The boys who are fighting all over the world want to come back to the America they left—just like it was with all the good and bad qualities it bad. If she thinks they are fighting for social equality, she qas much to learn,” he said.

Those Four Freedoms In coming months you are going to hear much about the “four free* dooms” that the New Dealers tell us we are fighting for and which, pre sumably, we are going to give to all the nations of the world, free of charge. “The “four freedoms” have their appeal to liberty-loving and idealis* tic Americans but some foreigners seem to be a bit skeptical about the prospect. A Chinese philosopher. Dr. Lin Yutang. is not at all enthu* sed, and perhaps his comments on the subject should be given some consideration. For further refer ence you might paste tbe following remarkr by Dr. Lin in your scrap book: “ Two of the four freedoms are not freedoms at all Kreedoms from fear is not freedoms, but political aeenritv. Both may be achieved at the cost of human freedom, and pro bably will, if we think too much a* bout animal security. “Nothing gives such a feeling ot perfect freedom from want and fear to a dog as a collar around his neck. Its next meal is guaranteed, A bird in a cage has exchanged its freedom on the wing for freedom for the preying hawk and freedom from star* vation in the snow. But a bird which deliberately flies into a cage cannot be said to be fighting for its free* except by the most casuistry. “ We may, if we iike. easily add a few more freedoms, like “freedom from disease.’ which is health, and ‘freedom from dirt,” which is peace and rest—ad infinitum. “ And so when we speak of free- doom w 8 must stick to the original meaning of the term, just plain good old freedom—human freedom. It is possible for man to have all the four freedoms talk and think as he pleas es and to be feed and sheltered in securi ty—and yet be a slave.” RATION GUIDE SUGAR-Book 4, stamp 31 5 pounds.

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES bythe l e a d in g WAR CORRESPONDENTS' Hunting Subs By Lt. ‘Monk 9 Fotvler (W N U Feature— Through special arrangement with Tbe American Magazine.) From the day we got our orders and were assigned to an aircraft carrier to clean the subs out of the Atlantic, we were never allowed to forget the gravity of the business in hand. The critical menace of the U-boats and the importance of our mission were deeply impressed upon us. At a northern port we got orders to proceed to a latitude and longi tude where a pact of subs had been seen. We were to go out to hunt and kill. I was flying the outbound leg of my patrol as we approached the suspected area. We were 300 feet above the waves peering anxiously about, when Wojcik, my radioman, called excitedly: "Mr. Fowler—you flew over something.” I went back but what Wojcit had seen was an other whale. Great guy for seeing whales, Wojcik. When I turned on the cross leg of my mission, I heard Fryatt, an other of our pilots, phone the ship: “Contact—attacked sub”—then he broke off. I pressed my earphones tighter to hear his next report, figured where I would be in about 20 min utes, and wrote down the position. Straining to hear Fryatt’s voice on ihe intership phone, I almost jnmped when Wojcik called: “Mr. Fowler—what is that down there?” I looked, and saw a white streak. It might have been a destroyer, or another whale. But it wasn’t. "We’re in the money,” I called back. “Arm everything—let’s go.” Wojcik said: “Roger-r-r,” and I checked my guns. Bucholz, my gun ner, gave his a burst, and I threw my heels down to lose speed. We came in low—off the sub’s port quar ter. She was moving steadily for ward. I don’t think they saw us until we were on top of them. Wreck Steering Gear. We dived, and I pressed the but ton releasing my load. I could see the faces of the men in the conning tower. Wojcik called: “They’re hit off the starboard bow.” I pulled up and called the car rier: “Ship from Monk—attacked sub—” When I looked back, the sub was circling to go starboard. She acted like a wagon with one of its front wheels tied. We had blasted her steering gear. “Ship from Monk,” I called: "we’ve de livered our attack—sub is going in circles — firing. She cannot sub merge.” The skipper came back to me with his calm “Roger.” I went in again, and Buchclz strafed the decks of the cripple. Then those Jerries let us have It. Their fire cut across our tail; I dived and saw their tracers go over me. Wojcik shouted: “Boy, that was close!” I did some fancy maneu vering to keep out of range. Bucholz was bouncing all over the back end of the plane, but he kept firing. The sub was shooting wild now and a spray of bullets was hitting the water. When I pulled up again and looked back, the sub was settling at the stern. My aerial had been shot away and I had lost com munication with the carrier, but I could hear another pilot reporting: “Ship from Bill—do you receive me?” and the answer. So I knew they were sending help. When Bill arrived, I went in again to pull fire away from him so he could unload his bombs. The sub was still firing, and I heard Wojcik say: “It’s getting pretty hot.” Bucholz sprayed the conning tower with bullets. Bill dropped his load and pulled out. He looked at us and grinned as he went by. Sub Went Dawn. The sub moved forward its own length and went down before Bill called me—“Return to ship.” I dropped a smoke bomb to mark the spot before I went back, but we didn’t find an oil slick and there was no evidence we had made a kill. Baek on our base ship I found that Fryatt’s sub hadn’t fired on him before submerging, so I felt I had the edge on him. Hodgson, another pilot, had attacked a snb a few minutes before I sighted mine. He had fired on it and strafed the gun crews, but the sub dived be fore he could finish the job. Up to this time we had had no excitement; in fact, things had been so monotonous aboard ship that I had asked for a transfer. The skip per said: “Monk, you still want that transfer?” I almost said: “Hell, no!” Then I thought: “Just a flash in the pan, may never happen again.” I said: “Yeah, let it go through.” Nothing further happened for a while. Sometimes, for a little fun, we would scream down on the ships in our destroyer escort. We always kept several rolls of toilet paper handy for these “token bombings.” Running Hot, Sitting Cold, at Army Climatic Tests The infantry takes it standing up—and sitting down—in tests at the Corps Climatic laboratory at Lawrence, Mass, It is here that the quartermaster corps charts reaction of men and checks effectiveness of equipment un der simulated tropical and arctic temperatures.

(This is one of a series of exclu sive articles on the current fertilizer situation.) There has been much criticism of the price at which the army ord nance plants and Tennessee Valley authority are disposing of ammoni um nitrate for fertilizer—$50 per ton f.o.b. plant. Nitrogen produced by the Canadi an Department of Munitions and Supply is being transported, some of it m ore than 3,000 miles from Calgary, Alberta, and is delivered in the United States at from $46.29 to $50 a ton. The Ca nadians say they are not selling be low cost—subsidiz ing the American farmer — but the freight from Cal gary to the southern seaboard on fer tilizer ammonium nitrate is between $16 and $20 a ton. The army ordnance plants began delivery in quantity in November, 1943. For the first three months they sold directly to TVA who con tracted with Associated Coopera tives, Inc., set up by a group of farmers’ cooperatives, to sell the nitrogen to fertilizer manufactur ers at $49 a ton. As of February I, this year, the army ceased to sell directly to TVA but now sells to the Commodity Credit corporation, which, in turn, sells to the coopera tive. The price has been raised to $50 a ton to allow a dollar for freight equalization. Clue to Cost The Tennessee Valley authority has given one clue as to the cost of the fertilizer. On November 7, 1943, at hearings before a subcommittee of the house committee on appropri ations, a table was submitted which showed that the cost of limed am monium nitrate manufactured in TVA plants was $37.82, exclusive of administrative and depreciation charges. In another table TVA showed that it expected to show net cash income before depreciation of $246,000 in fis cal 1944 on the production of fer tilizer and war chemicals despite in clusion of an expense of $900,000 for research work. Apparently the en tire cost of research is being charged for budget purposes as a current expense on all chemical op erations. In 1943 a loss of $612,000 was shown, and a loss of $336,000 for 1945 is estimated. There has been much difficulty in dealing with the army, which is not set up to do ordinary commercial business. It prefers to sell to a gov ernment corporation rather than di rectly to commercial concerns. Its ordnance plants were built in the emergency to assure ample nitrogen production for explosives, but the operating capacity was found to be far greater than needed—hence ni trogen has become available for fer tilizer. The construction of army ord nance plants has created a problem in disposal of the plants after the war. Some in the fertilizer industry believe that the nitrogen producing capacity of the country after the war will be far in excess of requirements for peacetime industrial purposes and agriculture, and advocate scrap- i ping some of the army nitrogen plants after the war. In fact, the newest plant—the cac tus ordnance plant near Etten, Tex as—already has been converted to production of other products, and the nitrogen equipment dismantled. Ef forts are now being made to sell this nitrogen producing equipment to Egyptian interests. It is pointed out that in 1939 indus try consumed 230,000 tons of nitro gen, while agriculture used 400,000 tons—a total of 630,000 tons. *00 , OOO-Tonr Capacity The present capacity of govern ment is 700,000 tons of nitrogen a year, and the capacity of private plants amounts to 500,000 tons—a to tal of 1,200,000 tons a year—almost twice as much as was used before the war. But this year some 675,000 tons of nitrogen will be used in agriculture alone, and fertilizer use is increas ing. Purdue university agronomists recently calculated that if the state of Indiana alone were to use as much nitrogen in fertilizer as R should, 178,000 tons would be con sumed, against the 6,523 tons con sumed in 1941. This may seem fan tastic, but it indicates that there is a considerable future for the fertiliz er industry; and that the 1,200,000 tons of plant capacity in the United States may not be too great, if farm ers wake up to the possibilities of the most efficient use, of fertilizer. Agronomists also point out that when the proper use of fertilizer be comes more general, farmers who live near the large markets will pro duce more abundantly; and that this may tend to take part of the market from those who are further from the centers of greatest consumption. Also, as the good land is cultivat ed more intensively, the cost of farming marginal land will become increasingly less profitable. This may mean a more rapid conversion of marginal lands into pastures and wood lots, with possible shifting of population in some areas.

MOCKSYILLE, N. C. A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS Hunting Subs By Lt. ‘Monk’ Fowler (WNU Feature—Through special arrangement with The American Magazine.) From the day we got our orders and were assigned to an aircraft carrier to clean the subs out of the Atlantic, we were never allowed to forget the gravity of the business in hand. The critical menace of the U-boats and the importance of our mission were deeply impressed upon us. At a northern port we got orders to proceed to a latitude and longi tude where a pack of subs had been seen. We were to go out to hunt and kill. I was flying the outbound leg of my patrol as we approached the suspected area. We were 300 feet above the waves peering anxiously about, when Wojcik, my radioman, called excitedly: “Mr. Fowler—you flew over something.” I went back but what Wojcik had seen was an other whale. Great guy for seeing whales, Wojcik. When I turned on the cross leg of my mission, I heard Fryatt 1 an other of our pilots, phone the ship: "Contact—attacked sub”—then he broke off. I pressed my earphones tighter to bear his next report, figured where I would be in about 20 min utes, and wrote down the position. Straining to hear Fryatt’s voice on the intership phone, I almost jumped when Wojcik called: “Mr. Fowler—what is that down there?” I looked, and saw a white streak. It might have been a destroyer, or another whale. But it wasn’t. “We’re in the money,” I called back. “Arm everything—let’s go.” Wojcik said: “Roger-r-r,” and I checked my guns. Bucholz, my gun ner, gave his a burst, and I threw my heels down to lose speed. We came in low—off the sub’s port quar ter. She was moving steadily for ward. I don’t think they saw us until we were on top of them. Wreck Steering Gear. We dived, and I pressed the but ton releasing my load. I could see the faces of the men in the conning tower. Wojcik called: "They’re hit off the starboard bow.” I pulled up and called the car rier: “Ship from Monk—attacked sub—” When I looked back, the sub was circling to go starboard. She acted like a wagon with one of its front wheels tied. We had blasted her steering gear. “Ship from Monk," I called; “we’ve de livered our attack—sub is going in circles — firing. She cannot sub merge.” The skipper came back to me with his calm "Roger.” I went in again, and Bucholz strafed the decks of the cripple. Then those Jerries let us have It. Their fire cut across our tail; I dived and saw their tracers go over me. Wojcik shouted: “Boy, that was close!” I did some fancy maneu vering to keep out of range. Bucholz was bouncing all over the back end of the plane, but he kept firing. The sub was shooting wild now and a spray of bullets was hitting the water. When I pulled up again and looked back, the sub was settling at the stern. My aerial had been shot away and I had lost com munication with the carrier, but I could hear another pilot reporting: “Ship from Bill—do you receive me?” and the answer. So I knew they were sending help. When Bill arrived, I went in again to pull fire away from him so he could unload his bombs. The sub was still firing, and I heard Wojcik say: “It’s getting pretty hot.” Bucholz sprayed the conning tower with bullets. Bill dropped his load and pulled out. He looked at us and grinned as he went by. Sub Went Down. The sub moved forward its own length and went down before Bill called me—“Return to ship.” I dropped a smoke bomb to mark the spot before I went back, but we didn’t find an oil slick and there was no evidence we had made a kill. Baek on our base ship I found that Fryatt’s sub hadn’t fired on him before submerging, so I felt I bad the edge on him. Hodgson, another pilot, had attacked a sub a few minutes before I sighted m*ne. Be had fired on it and stra/ed the gun crews, bat the sub dived be fore be could finish the job. Up to this time we had had no excitement; in fact, things had been so monotonous aboard ship that I had asked for a transfer. The skip per said: “Monk, you still want that transfer?” I almost said: “Hell, no!” Then I thought: “Just a flash in the pan, may never happen again.” I said: “Yeah, let it go through.” Nothing further happened for a while. Sometimes, for a little fun, we would scream down on the ships in our destroyer escort. We always kept several rolls of toilet paper handy for these “token bombings.” Rnnning Hot, Sitting Cold, at Army CKmatic Tests I \ The infantry takes it standing up—and sitting down—in tests at the Corps Climatic laboratory at Lawrence, Mass.

(This is one of a series of exclu sive articles on the current fertilizer situation.) There has been much criticism of the price at which the army ord nance plants and Tennessee Valley authority are disposing of ammoni um nitrate for fertilizer—$50 per ton f.o.b. plant. Nitrogen produced by the Canadi an Department of Munitions and Supply is being transported, some of it m ore than 3,000 miles from Calgary, Alberta, and is delivered in the United States at from $46.29 to $50 a ton. The Ca nadians say they are not selling be low cost—subsidiz ing the American farmer — but the freight from Cal gary to the southern seaboard on fer tilizer ammonium nitrate is between $16 and $20 a ton. The army ordnance plants began delivery in quantity in November, 1943. For the first three months they sold directly to TVA who con tracted with Associated Coopera tives, Inc., set up by a group of farmers’ cooperatives, to sell the nitrogen to fertilizer manufactur ers at $49 a ton. As of February I, this year, the army ceased to sell directly to TVA but now sells to the Commodity Credit corporation, which, in turn, sells to the coopera tive. The price has been raised to $50 a ton to allow a dollar for freight equalization. Clue to Cost The Tennessee Valley authority has given one clue as to the cost of the fertilizer. On November 7, 1943, at hearings before a subcommittee of the house committee on appropri ations, a table was submitted which showed that the cost of limed am monium nitrate manufactured in TVA plants was $37.82, exclusive of administrative and depreciation charges. In another table TVA showed that it expected to show net cash income before depreciation of $246,000 in fis cal 1944 on the production of fer tilizer and war chemicals despite in clusion of an expense of $900,000 for research work. Apparently the en tire cost of research is being charged for budget purposes as a current expense on all chemical op erations. In 1943 a loss of $612,000 was shown, and a loss of $336,000 for 1945 is estimated. There has been much difficulty in dealing with the army, which is not set up to do ordinary commercial business. It prefers to sell to a gov ernment corporation rather than di rectly to commercial concerns. Its ordnance plants were built in the emergency to assure ample nitrogen production for explosives, but the operating capacity was found to be far greater than needed—hence ni trogen has become available for fer tilizer. The construction of army ord nance plants has created a problem in disposal of the plants after the war. Some in the fertilizer industry believe that the nitrogen producing capacity of the country after the war will be far in excess of requirements for peacetime industrial purposes and agriculture, and advocate scrap ping some of the army nitrogen plants after the war. In fact, the newest plant—the cac tus ordnance plant near Etten, Tex as—already has been converted to production of other products, and the nitrogen equipment dismantled. Ef forts are now being made to sell this nitrogen producing equipment to Egyptian interests. It is pointed out that in 1939 indus try consumed 230,000 tons of nitro gen, while agriculture used 400,000 tnns—a total of 630,000 tons. *90 ,OOO-Tonr Capacity The present capacity of govern ment is 700,000 tons of nitrogen a year, and the capacity of private plants amounts to 500,000 tons—a to tal of 1,200,000 tons a year—almost twice as much as was used before the war. But this year some 675,000 tons of nitrogen will be used in agriculture alone, and fertilizer use is increas ing. Purdue university agronomists recently calculated that if the state of Indiana alone were to use as much nitrogen in fertilizer as it should, 178,000 tons would be con sumed, against the 6,523 tons con sumed in 1941. This may seem fan tastic, but it indicates that there is a considerable future for the fertiliz er industry; and that the 1,200,000 tons of plant capacity in the United States may not be too great, if farm ers wake up to the possibilities of the most efficient use of fertilizer. Agronomists also point out that when the proper use of fertilizer be comes more general, farmers who live near the large markets will pro duce more abundantly; and that this may tend to take part of the market from those who are further from the centers of greatest' consumption. Also, as the good land is cultivat ed more intensively, the cost of farming marginal land will become increasingly less profitable. This may mean a more rapid conversion of marginal lands into pastures and wood lots, with possible shifting of population in some areas.

Prank Kurtz, pilot of the Flying Fortress known as “The Swoose,” which escaped from Clark Field, tells ot that fatal day when the daps struck In the Philippines. Oldi 99, another Fortress, is struck down before It can get off the ground, killing tight of her crew. Kurtz and his m en are getting ready for a reconnaissance trip over Form osa when they heard the whistling of bombs. They ran for the nearest foxholes and stayed In them un til the first Jap formation flew away. Tlten they get what antiaircraft Is avail able, In action. The field Is littered with the charred skeletons of Flying For tresses, Including Old 99. They plan to salvage the wrecks. Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y W.N.U.FEATURES CHAPTER IV “A lot of damned fools were wav ing flashlights around unnecessarily, and I thought,"‘Suppose a Jap Recco ,plane catches a glint of this.’ Pretty (soon I heard a plane and raised up :to listen, but when it came in plain er I recognized the deep four-motor grind of one of our own Fortresses— it was undoubtedly one of the dozen which had been left down on Del Monte Field, now coming in from the long trip from Mindanao to spend the rest of the night on Clark and in the morning pound some of those scores of Jap transports which were said to be swarming off Luzon. “And I hoped to God that single remaining runway strip had been cleared so they could get down, and they wouldn't have to circle and go back home. Just then a nervous antiaircraft battery opened up on the Fortress, and then they all did. “And what about Margo, halfway around the world? Had she heard anything? And how long would it be before I could tell her that Eddie Oliver and I were all that were left of Old 99 she had waved goodby to at Albuquerque six weeks ago? Or would I ever tell her? “I had promised the boys this was just the opening game and that there were a lot more Saturdays coming, so what did it matter if this first one belonged to the Japs? In the end we would win. Only now I be gan wondering about that sprawling line and where it pointed to. Maybe it trailed off into nothing, and at the end would be only chaos and de feat. I didn’t know, and when I realized it would do no good to guess or hope, then I went to sleep. “Over at the field, six of the Min danao gang had come up from Del Monte, coming in two and three at a time and landing on the two-thou- sand-foot strip of runway which was all that remained of Clark Field. Then they had been pulled off into dispersed areas while they were gassed up and loaded with bombs. The pilots of this half-dozen were now assembled while the Colonel gave them their targets, and tower ing over the group was Colin Kelly— I could see his curly black head, his shoulders back as usual. I knew ■the boys would be headed out into plenty of trouble, and I couldn’t help walking over to listen while the Colo nel briefed Colin. I felt a little brotherly about him because he’d been one of my co-pilots back on March Field. Now he was headed out on his first battle mission. “Colin was photographing every word in his mind. He looked tired from flying all night, had had little if any sleep—his ordinarily neat uni form was smeared with grease as though he’d been working on his engines himself—and we had time only to exchange waves as he head ed for his plane to load his bombs and I climbed up into the tower. “The thing was practically a sieve from bullets which had ripped through the corrugated iron during yesterday’s strafing. A couple of privates had been up there for twen ty-four hours without food or relief— I guess everybody must have for gotten them, but they’d done a swell job. Looking at all those jagged holes in the sheet-iron walls, I didn’t see how they’d come out alive, but they explained it—told me if I got strafed, I could lie down along one sheet-iron wall behind a pile of lead battery cases used to run the field lights. “My job of course was to handle the tower lights—give the boys the signal when they could come in to land on the field—but the Colonel wasn't taking any chances losing any more on the ground. He said when any Fortresses came back, to keep them iir the air, circling the field, until he changed the order. “Presently there comes scooting in one of those little low P-26's that were used by the Filipino Air Force —an old stick-and-wire job with non- retractable landing gear which is practically a museum piece. I give him the green light, because I can see he is already so full of bullet holes I don’t see how he can stay in the air—and out jumps this little Filipino fighter pilot. AU he wants is more gas and more bullets for his little .30-caliber gun, and he’s back up in the air for more of it. Those kids did a magnificent job for their islands with that decrepit junk. “Everybody was jumpy—we didn’t know what minute the Japs would come back. I watched one truck that was wandering around the field with a gang filling up bomb craters. Suddenly the air-raid bell sounded, and those guys dived out of the truck in every' direction to run for fox holes, leaving the driverless truck to keep wandering right on over onto its nose in a shell crater. Those phony alerts were a constant strain, even though each one was called off fifteen minutes later. I’ve since wondered if maybe fifth-columnists weren’t turning in most of them. “That morning our fighters (yes terday’s raid had left maybe fifteen out of the two dozen which had been on Iba Field) were doing a magnificent job. And learning, too —this was their first day of real fighting, and there is just a hell of a lot about war that you can’t find in any book and that they can’t teach you in maneuvers. Buzz Wag ner, the best fighter of them all, would have told you that. “Buzz, with a single P-40, had done a job that ordinarily would be assigned to an entire squadron. (A fighter squadron is 25 planes.) Bpzz had been sent IoUt <in the eaTiy - morn ing full of ammunition for his six .50- caliber guns and with 30-pound frag mentation bombs under his wings, so he was ready to tackle almost anything he saw. “He was out over the sea north of Luzon, sitting on the overcast, when suddenly a terrific ack-ack bar rage came snorting up at him through the cloud layer. There was so much of it Buzz figured it must have been at least a Jap battleship shoveling it up at him, so he was pulling off to the south—still stay ing above the cloud layer—when he spotted four Jap fighters high above him. He was tempted to dump his bombs—which would give him more speed and maneuverability—and go up there to tangle with them, but those bombs, according to his brief- The air raid beli sounded and those guys dived out of the truck. ing, were destined for some planes the Japs had just put ashore on a field near Lingayen, so he kept on his course. “But all of a sudden about three bushels of red-hot Jap tracers came whizzing by his cockpit. He pushed the stick forward to nose her down, and then in a climbing turn to the right pulled her back up into the sun—and then he looked back to see that two of the four Jap fighters had detached to work him over. “They were coming hell-for-break- fast, so he pulled a cute maneuver- throttled back suddenly to let them go roaring on by him, and then opened up on their vanishing tails. His first burst put them both on fire. Those good old .50-calibers— the P-40 had six of them and when they speak, they do all the talking. "Remember all this time Buzz hadn’t dumped his bombs. They might easily have cost him his life, but his job was to get to Lingayen Field, where he had a rendezvous with Lieutenant Russell Church. “As he approached Lingayen, first he saw Russ, who fell in on his wing, and then he saw his target —all those Jap planes on the ground lined up just like it was for an ordinary peacetime Saturday-morn ing inspection. I want you to get this—to see it isn’t only the Ameri can Air Force which gets caught with its pants down and its suspen ders trailing. “They started the long glide down, circling the field, and then Buzz peeled off and started in on them. Russ was to follow, but at a good distance, so he wouldn’t pick up in his propellers the fragments of Jap planes tossed up by Buzz’s frag bombs. “So down they went—Buzz first, then Russ, just skimming the field. As the first target came into sight Buzz let go-, first one and thpn the other of his 30-pound fragmentation bombs, and looking back over his shoulder, he saw old Russ was just coming in behind him. Buzz went on across the field and then pulled up sharply to watch Russ’ bombs go right down the line. Russ’ tail was on fire from Jap ack-ack, and he knew it, but he stayed dead on his run, making direct hits on those neatly lined-up Jap planes, and then —Buzz still watching—Russ pulled up at the end of the field in a slow half-roll and—went in. Buzz says it’s just , possible Russ was able to bail out-Lhe couldn’t wait to be sure, for now he was getting ready for his sec ond run, all ajone. He came in on this second pass through the Jap ack-ack with 'his six .50-calibers pounding away, at those parked planes—some were already burning from the bombs he and Russ had dropped—crossed the field once, and had banked to come in for a third pass when Jap tracers began whiz zing past his cockpii from behind. He looked over his shoulder to see that the last two of those four iZeros were diving on him. Of course there was nothing he could do but push his throttle up to the fire wall— jamming on all the gas his engine would take—and try to get away. (Air force slang meaning his plane went into the ground.) “Inch by inch he pulled away from those Zeros—he looked back at the field once and saw about six good fires going—and Buzz said it was damned lucky he got back to the field, because he could tell the boys that a P-40 could outrun a Zero at sea level. Remember, though, he said outrun, not outma- neuver. “In those days everybody was learning stuff that wasn’t in the book, and passing it on. Everybody had to learn, which is why we don’t get bitter at being mishandled at first. e “But Buzz always hated to talk about himself. ‘Did you hear about the Rat?’ he asked me, very excited. The Rat of course was our old friend Lieutenant Sam Marrett, who had picked up this nickname at Ran dolph Field because of his pointed nose and small face. ‘The Rat took four winglings out on patrol, and they were laying back above a hillside on Lingayen when they spot ted a Jap landing party, so they climbed to get altitude and then peeled off out of the sun onto it—the Rat leading, of course—in one long string, each picking his barge. What happened no one knew for sure. But one of the Rat’s bullets must have touched off the magazine racks in the Jap barge he picked, anyway the barge blew right up in his face, and the Rat’s plane disintegrated. But the other four kids continued on their runs, first dropping their frag bombs, and then strafing back and forth—they had Japs diving off those barges in every direction.’ “That day,” said Frank, “my job was the tower, not going on missions myself or even listening to gossip. A little after noon I hap pened to be looking up at the over cast toward the roar made by one of our planes which I thought maybe would be trying to come in when suddenly I saw a parachute blos som just under the overcast—and another—and another. I counted eight, so it must be a Fortress—but no ninth. Instead, at the very end of these eight I saw a dark object go hurtling into the ground. One of our Forts, but whose? I didn’t find out until evening that it was Colin Kelly. He’d been out there follow ing his briefing that I’d heard that morning, which was to attack Jap transports and their naval escorts. He’d laid a direct hit square on the very biggest target any pilot could hope for and had been on his way home—had been about to let down through that overcast onto Clark Field—when two Jap fighters, who had been hanging on ever since he left the convoy, hit him. They put a lucky incendiary into his oxygen system, and of course it started to burn like cotton soaked in gasoline. But Colin wasn't rattled. He gave the regular orders over the inter phone system for the other eight boys of his crew to climb into their chutes and abandon ship. “Now a part of this procedure in a Fortress is that the pilot must be the last to leave. It’s the same in the Navy, except that it’s sometime^ just a gallant gesture, particularly when the captain can’t help much by staying, and if the ship does go down under him he can float away from the bridge in his life jacket, and pretty soon someone’s giving him a slug of rye and a brisk rub- down in the wardroom of another ship. “But in the Air Force it’s the real McCoy. Because if a Fortress is on fire, somebody has to stay on the stick to keep her level and right side up while the other eight make their jumps. That somebody is the pilot, and that’s one of the things you must be ready to do in order to wear those pretty silver wings’on your chest that the better- upholstered girls stare at in the better-upholstered bars. “Well, Colin stayed on the stick as his plane dropped with its oxygen system flaming, and all eight got out, and I suppose carefully counted one thousand—two thousand—three thousand like it says in the book, before they pulled their cords and their chutes, blossomed. “But by the time the last one was out, and Colin got his own chute on and opened his top escape-hatch win dow above that fume-filled cockpit and crawled up through it—well, he cleared the plane all right, but he was so close to the ground that he never had a chance to crack hi* chute.

SAUL’S EARLT PREACHING LESSON TEXT: A cts »:18b-30: 11:25, 2». GOLDEN TEXT: I am not ashamed ot the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.— Romans 1:16. “A changed man”—that oft-used expression assumes real meaning as it is applied to one who has experi enced the redeeming grace of God in Christ. In a special way this was true of Paul, whose transformed life amazed those who knew him before he had met Christ on the Damascus road.In our lesson we find him in three different cities, serving his new found Master and Lord.I. At Damascus—Confounding the Jews (9:19-25). “Straightway.” What a good word to apply to the servant of the Lord. Paul did not hesitate to declare his faith in Christ, to proclaim that the One who had redeemed him was able also to save others. It is the normal and proper ex pression of Christian faith to give testimony to others. That should be true of every believer. With Paul there was the added element of his call to preach, for God had ordained that he should be His chosen vessel for that purpose (Acts 9:15). One is impressed by the prompt and unquestioning obedience of so many of Christ’s followers of whom we read in the New Testament. No doubt that explains their power and wide usefulness. We could learn of them. Paul’s message was Christ. He proved to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ (v. 22), the One of whom their Old Testament Scriptures spake and for whom they professed to be looking. He declared Him to be the Son of God (v. 20). They were unwilling to accept the message. They were “amazed” at Paul and "confounded” by the truth he proclaimed, but they rejected both it and him, and he had to es cape for his life. But another city must hear his witness, so we find him—n . At Jerusalem—Disputing With the Grecians (9:26-30).Knowing his violent persecution of the church, the disciples in Jerusalem were suspicious. Perhaps there was a measure of justification for such an attitude, but one is glad that there was present the generous, open-hearted Barnabas, ready to be lieve in his new brother in Christ and to sponsor him in the church. A word of admonition to the church of our day is necessary, re garding the making of a new con vert or a stranger at home in the fellowship of the saints. There is no need of putting such a one quick ly into office or a place of honor, but let him know that he is accept ed and believed in, and thus give him an opportunity to grow. Paul remained in Jerusalem this time for two weeks (Gal. 1:18), go ing in and out, that is, in friendly fel lowship. That is just what the young Christian needs, and should seek. He also had something to make right. He had joined the Grecian Jews when they disputed with Stephen (6:9) and stoned him. Paul had agreed with and joined them on that occasion. Now by the miracle of regeneration he is a new creature and is on the exactly opposite side. Now he disputes with the Grecians, declaring that Jesus is the Christ. What a blessed change! They refused to tolerate that word, and prepared to kill him. But the servant of the Lord was kept by Him, and delivered through the good offices of Christian brethren. Kow often it is true that the minister must look to the brethren for that kindness which delivers him from distress and danger. Paul returned for a time to his home city of Tarsus, but when a need of his services arose he was called out, and we find him— III. At Antioch — Teaching the Christians (11:25, 26). Persecution spread the believers abroad (Acts 11:19), and like the scattered brands of a beaten fire they carried the flame of Christian ity far and wide. Thus the gospel came to Antioch, the third greatest city in the world of that day. A re vival broke out, and Barnabas was sent from Jerusalem to be of help. Good and spiritual man that he was (Acts 19:23, 24), Barnabas did nothing to hinder this work of God, but admonished the people to “cleave unto the Lord,” that is, to follow Him closely. Would that all spiritual advisers had such a spirit and such sound judgment. He was also wise in sensing his need of help. So he went after Paul, the very man to teach these young Christians, and to lead them out into a radiant and abundant life for the Lord. Here it wa.s that the beautiful name of “Christian” was first ap plied to believers. It is believed to have originally been a term of ridicule, but even then it was a testi mony, for it declared that these be lievers were devoted to Christ and concerned only with pleasing and serving Him.

Democrats cussed Al Smith and refused to vote for him becanse he was against prohibition, but they swallowed Roosevelt hook, line and sinker. Strange things do happen Seems that Windell Wilikie and Franklin Roosevelt would realize by this time that the American peo pie want Thomas E. Dewey for President, and that they are going to elect him next November. Tbat gtouudbog must be a New Dealer—trying to freeze the poor folks this time of vear. The mer cury dropped to a low of 26 de grees last week, with several coun ties in North Carolinareportingthe ground covered with snow. All kinds of weather can be expected with the world in a mad whirl. Eleanor returned safe and sound from her journey on crowded planes to the Carribeans. Tbe husband reports the trip a success. If we are not mistaken Eleanor made at least a few speeches while away, and we heard over the radio that she bad promised a big bunch of the native sisters to get them jobs In this country. TheUnited States Supreme Court has banded down a decision that the Negroes in Texas can vote in Democratic primary- If we are not mistaken a majority of the members of this high tribunal were put in office by Franklin D. Roose velt. The white Democrats in Texas are fighting mad, and are going to ask for a new hearing on the matter. AU Republicans and Democrats in Davie county who intend to run for local offices this fall, will have to hunt up the chairman of the countv board of elections between now and Saturday afternoon at 6 o’clock and file their name, the of fic e they are running for, and pay the filing fee. which ranges from a- round a frog skin to a $20 smack er. If you don't file this week you will have to wait another two years.

If we are not badlv mistaken this same Governor mot. ored, flew or hitch-hiked to West Virginia a little while ago and made a drastic speech, lauding Woodrow Wilson, Delano Roosevelt and the Democratic party to the sky, and saying all kinds of means things a- bout Hoover, and the Republican party. Snch acts on Broughton’s part ciused us to retrain from ljst. enlng to Iiim teach a Sunday school class over the radio. So far as we know Governor Broughton hasn’t publicly thanked Franklin Roose velt for having the manufacture and sale of liquor legalized in tbe United States. Carl Must Have Been Dreaming The following article appeared in last week’s issue of The State, a weekly magazine published in R-.l- eigb and owned and edited by Cail Goerch: • AN ENTIRE BLOCK O F STORES I N MOCKSVILLE CHANGED HANDS LAST WEEK. J. FRANK McGRAW PURCHASED T H E STORES FROM DR. J F. H ARTNESS, OF DAVIDSON.” Just where our friend Goerch got this information we can’t say. Dr. Hartness has never owned a block of stores in MocksviMe, and this is the first time we ever heard of J Frank McGraw. Wonder if Carl hasn’t got us mixed up with tbe village of Mooresville? Dewey Backers Expect To Win Washington, April, 5. — The withdrawal ot Wendell L. Willkle from the Republican presidential race prompted jubilant supportets of Governor Thomas E. Dewey to predict that Dewey would be no minated on an early, if uot the first, ballot at Chic go. Even before Willkie’s acknowl edgement that he had no chance to win the nomination, they had been making such forecasts They based them on Wisconsin primary, in which Dewey captnred tbe lion’s share of tbe slate’s 24 delegates while Willkie apparently failed to gain a single one. The big question among politi cians ip Washington was whether Willkie would actively support the choice of the Republican conven tion in June. There was no im mediate answer, since Willkie con tented himself with saying: “I earnestly hope that the Re publican convention will nominate a candidate and write a platform which really represents the views which I have advocated and which I believe are shared by millions of Americans. I shall continue to work for these principles and poli cies for which I have fought dur ing tbe past five years.” Hopes were expressed in Repub licans ranks that WilIkie would work hard for Republican victory Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the Repnblican whip of tbe Senate, called Willkie’s statement ‘coura geous ” and added: ‘‘If that is his final decision, and his wish. I hope that he will stay right in there slugging it out for the Rep blican cause, and help keep the party unified, for this is the most imoortant election in all tbe 167 years of the life of this re- retmblic The only wav we can pieserve <-ur American economy i" 0 c h a n g e a d m in is> rn tio n s in th e N o v e m b e r e ie r 'im i ” District meeting Jr., 0.

WITH the induction of Catcher William Malcolm Dickey into the navy, the New York Yankees lost the last man of an era that made the champions the most fa mous club in baseball. BiU Dickey played with Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig was his room mate, and in more recent years there were Tommy Henrich, Joe DiMaggio, George Selkirk, Johnny Sturm, Buddy Hassett, Red Ruffing, Ken Sears, Phil Rizzuto, Bill John son, Charlie Keller and others who made the Yankees the champions of the world. When Manager Joe McCarthy re ceived word of Dickey’s status he 6aid: “I guess it’s only the beginning. Uncle Sam wants him and that’s all there is to it. I wish Bill the best of luck. We’ll all miss him. He was a great catcher, great hitter, and a great man to have on a ball club. The records prove Dickey was the greatest catcher of all time.” Exactly how much the loss of Dickey will affect the Yankees re- BILL DICKET mains to be seen, but most observ ers believe that it will rank with the biggest, comparable to the loss of DiMaggio, Keller or any of the others who are in service. D ickey’s R a tin g Unquestionably Dickey deserves ranking with the best catchers of all time. He shared in nine World series cuts and appeared behind the bat in every contest of the Yankees’ last eight series. Only Ruth ap peared in more World series, and Dickey’s feat of playing on seven winning clubs tied a mark held by Buth and Gehrig. The only uniform that Dickey ever wore in the big show was a Yankee uniform—and he wore that for 16 seasons. The veteran, who will be 37 years old in June, received the plaque as player of the year at the recent Baseball Writers’ dinner in New York. He holds the major league record of catching 100 games or more for 13 consecutive seasons and batted over the .300 mark in 11 seasons. His lifetime average is .313. Apparently the Yankee front of fice had seen the handwriting on the wall. Joe Glenn, a veteran, was purchased from Kansas City just a few days before Dickey was induct ed. The club also has the services of Bob Collins and Mike Garbark, rookies with little or no big league experience, and maybe Roliie Hems- ley, a good catcher but a man who says he would sooner be farming than playing baseball. A ll-Im p o rta n t When the news was given to Mc Carthy he wanted to say he waa sorry to see Dickey go. But he checked his words for fear they might be misunderstood. As the manager of a baseball club it is inconceivable that McCarthy should be glad to see Dickey go. A catcher is all-important. A winning ball club must be strong through the middle, from the catcher's box through center field. The trend of the times was evi denced by the fact that, when news of Dickey’s induction came, the only catcher in the Yankee spring camp was Claude Lamed, a councilman from Pleasantville, N. Y., where he has a gas station. Lamed is not even trying out for the team. He was around only because he likes baseball and happens to be a friend of Paul Krichell, the Yankee’s No. I scout. The mighty have not fallen, but their troubles are as numerous as those besetting the seven other clubs of the league. And that alone is most unusual. SPORTS SHORTS C Elmer Riddle is the 15th pitcher In Cincinnati’s modem baseball history to win 20 or more games in one season. C Major league clubs will play 168 spring exhibition games before launching the championship season of 1944. C.

Then he toured the Orient as part of a troupe—says ha perfected his pan tomime then, since no one hearing him understood English. Next came night clubs, and such success that he was engaged for the stage pro duction of “Lady in the park,” which established him in the: thea ter. A big factor in his success is his wife, Sylvia Fine, who writes his songs. Now here’s “Up in Arms,” which lands him at the top in films. Charlie McCarthy would like ev erybody to know that 14-year-old Jane Powell is his one and only pro tegee. Ever since he and Edgar Ber gen worked in “Song of the Open Road,” when Jane was made the star of the picture, Charlie’s been 1 JANE POWELL swamped by letters from teen-age girls who want him to sponsor them. Jane’s done so well in her first pic ture that another story, “Cinderella Goes to Town,” has been bought for her.

KaroIe Singer and Bruce Hayes, now. appearing, with him, are two more. Ronald ColmanV been swamped by mail as a result of his NBC show, “Everything for the Boys." From Montana came a letter from a moth er, saying “Won’t you put my son and your namesake, Ronaid.Colman Dunn, on your program?” But it’s the army that chooses the overseas fighters who talk to Colman. Evidently the acting bug is catch ing. Now the real-life wife of “Dag- wood” (Arthur Lake) of “Blondie," of screen and radio fame, is taking to the screen. She is Patricia Van Cleve Lake, and will appeiar in the new Republic production, “New Faces.” Jack Benny has signed a new con tract with Warner Bros.; he recent ly completed “The Horn Blows at Midnight.” But he doesn’t expect to start a new film until next July— wants to make another trip over seas first, to entertain the armed forces. A program full of youngsters with out a single cracked voice in the collection—that’s a unique feature of the “Archie Andrews” program, heard weekdays over Mutual. The show’s producers feel that growing pains should not also inflict pain on the listeners, so base the humor of the series on believable ,situations.

Regardless of the fact that we are living in a day of greed, selfish* ness, pride, worldliness, drunken ness, lust, pleasure seeking and money-grabbing. yet there are still many good people. They love God, the Holy Bible, their fellowtneu, the church of the Lord Jesus Cbtist, the trnth of God, righteousness, holiness and all that Is uplifting and ennobling. Thank God for this, and praise IIis holy name for. ever. This class of pe. pie have willing minds and ready hands to setve God: and of course we serve Him by serving one anothei. Wbenev er and wherever an opportunity oresents itself to bless humanity, do good, win souls and helo pil grims on their jonrnev heavenward, they are on the spot They pray, they give, they encourage, thev uplift. If there is need in the commun ity of a church they do not hesi tate to give of their money, their material, their time and labor. They realize that all they have come as a blessing from God, there fore gladly give back to God a part of what He blesses them with. Such peapl* are the best citizens of our country. They are the salt of the earth and the light of the world God shines through them to bless others. The only reason that many of these people do not do more for Gop and His cause is because they are not able If they had more they would give more. Among them are numbers of conscientious titbers; and they also give liberally out of the remaining nine tenths. God blesses them witn health and strength, salvation and happiness. They enjoy life, and greatly appre ciate the good things they receive from the bountiful hand of God. They are happy to do something for the good of their ueigbbors, their country, and for the advance ment of God’s cause. It is a pleas ure to them to live for others. God's love is shed abroad in tbeir hearts and they delight to do His blessed will. Those who love God and man kind always have willing minds and ready hands to help the sick and afflicted, the poor and needy, the orphans, the church of our Lotd Jesus Christ, the ministers of the Gospel and they delight to contribute to the spread of the Gospel over all the earth. It is blessed to live for God with a wil ling mind anj ready bands. Good Advice Dr. Wm.

Yank Infantry Will Uck German Army Washington—“It’s going to be up to the infantry to lick the Ger- man army—and they’ll do it,” re ported Lt. Col. Thomas P. White, medical corps, of Charlotte, N. C., who has returned to the United States under the army’s rotation plan, after months overseas. Colonel White, chief of medi cine in an evacuation hospital whose patients consisted largely of infan. trymen, was full of praise for the doughboy on his arrival in this country. ‘‘If you asked me what group I’d take my bat off to, I’d say tbe infantry,” be said Thev're real men. Thev’ve been fighting in snow and rain and sleet all tbe time, and many of them are ex hausted, but they’re still cr-ttpina They’re a great gang.” Colonel White reported that the health of American soldiers 111 tbe front lines is excellent, considering the circumstances in which they are living.” “Up to the time I Iett the hospital, in late January, we’d bad 12,000 medical cases,” he said. and there were only three deaths a. mong them.” The hospital unit to which be was attached landed in North Afri ca behind the invasion troons in North Africa behind the invasion troops in November. 1942, and was right behind tbe infantry from then on Colonel White's most exciting experience, be said occurtd early last New Year’s morning "A terrible storm came down from northern Italy at 3 a. m he said ,;We had 500 wounded fu oar tents at the time, and the whole camp blew down In two hours, we evacuated all our patients, in rain all our patients, in rain' and sleet, without losing a single one. As one tent collapsed, we’d move the patients in it to another one, which our personnel were literally holding up with their arms. We lost 37 out i f 65 tents before tbe storm was over, but our patients all came through it all right.” Allow No Jeeringf Of War Prisoners "These men are honorable soldiers, captured while fighting for their na tive country and must not be consi dered as criminals nor treated by military personnel or the public as such.” said Capt. Ira C. Ballard, commanding officer of the prisoner of war camp now located at Camp MackalI, in commenting on rules which govern actions toward Ger man prisoners of war now held at Mackal I. ‘The Geneva conventions, wnich laid down certain rules tor treatment of prisoners of war stressed the fact that war prisoners held by our forces should be accorded the same courte sy and fair treatment we ask entmy countries to give our boys” Captain Ballard said. Since the prisoners now at Camp Mackall are to be used by the man power commissioner for work in the orchards and on the farm? of the section, Captain Ballard pointed oat several rules regarding conduct of the public toward prisoners with which he believes the public should become acquainted. No jeering, pointing or starting at any abuse of prisoners of war will be allowed. Guards accompanying then) are instructed to enforce these rules when prisoners are outside the pri son compound.

Allen and Hoke Rend* erson, representing tbe plaintiff, on March 8 . The suit, in which Miss Groce was seek seeking $50,000 damages against the Iredell damages against the Ire- doctor, was thrown out of court when Judge J. Will Pless allowed a motion of non-suit made by attor neys for Dr. Myers. NJtice of ap- j| bv attorneys for Miss Groce were made at the time The plaintiff alleged that she was roughtly treated white a patient at the clinic operated bv Dr. Myers; that she received a broken arm at his hands; that she was slapped by the doctor and otherwise mistreated. > She is now said to be ill at the home of her parents as a result of this ill treatment. n b ot^ IikM-I= <• C v -. * 400 « $25,000 Income Fanner Given $364 AAA Checks Tbe following letter written Sena tor Arthur Capper, of Kansas, raises an interesting question of govern mental policy: Colby.

CoL Frank Kurtz, pilot of the Flying Fortress known as "The Swoose.'* which escaped from Clark Field, tells of that fatal day when the Japs struck In the Philippines* OW 99, another Fortress, is struck down before It can get off the ground. The field Is littered with the skeletons of U. S. planes. Buzz Wagner, air ace, Is chased by Japs hr his P-40. He m eets LieuL Russ Church and together they bomb a Jao field, church fails to return. Other pilots are given their targets, including Colin Kelly. Kelly's plane settles for a Jap battleship, but the plane is ablaze. Eight bale ouL Kelly bales out but Is so close to the ground he never bad a chance. Q UEENS D IE PROUDLY WN.U.TEATUREJ CHAPTER V "Of course when I heard all this I also heard about the whopping big target he’d hit and sunk. But I didn’t think much of this at the time, and I don’t think Colin did either. "If I know the boy, and I think I do, after he saw his oxygen system was on fire, and had given orders for the other guys to jump, and was sitting then hanging back on his stick and fighting his rudder in order to give them a chance to do it, he wasn’t thinking about how many gross tons that Japanese ship dis placed, but about his parents and Marian and little Corkie. And later when he was trying to crawl out of the upper escape hatch before his clothes caught on fire, it was the same, and still later, when he cleared the hatch but saw the ground coming up at him, too close and too fast for his chute ever to have a chance to crack open, I don’t think he was worrying about how big his post humous medal was going to be, but only worrying about Marian and Corkie. "A little later in the afternoon one of our fighters came in and began .to circle the field, fluttering like a wounded bird. I could see it was something serious — guessed even then an aileron might be shot away, «o I gave him the green light to come in and land. He began to make passes at the field, cutting his throttle to pick out the strip of straight sand through the bomb cra ters, marked by a maze of red flags we’d put up. But each time he’d throttle back his left wing would drop and he’d have to gun her again, making a slow climbing circle up off the field. “It began to get me. ‘Come on, son, come on, put it down, before we get into trouble.’ On the last trial he gunned it, came around, and then tried to pull up straight, but-too late. Teetering down the field, he caught one wing on one of our slightly damaged Fortresses, tearing it off, and then himself cartwheeled off into the trees—killing a sergeant who had been working on a plane back there. The pilot wasn’t hurt much himself, but one more of our precious few iMO’s was gone. "But, following orders, I was still giving the Fortresses the red light to stay in the air, and I began to worry about this. Maybe orders had been issued to bring them in, but someone had failed to notify me. Some of them would circle for a while, and then would head on back for Del Monte, more than six hundred miles away, while they still had enough gas to get there. “Finally old Jim Connally said the hell with it, and came on in without my giving him any light at all. He needed more gas to get back to Mindanao and couldn't perch up there all day, and a little after this the Colonel said I could give the others the green light to come in and gas up, although any hour, any minute, we were expecting the Japs back. He wanted to save those remaining Forts at any cost. “We got out of bed just as dawn was breaking and, folding our sheets inside our brown blankets so no white would show, stuffed them un der the khaki cots—we didn’t want anything that would indicate on a Jap recco picture that we were now sleeping in that field. The Japs’were reccoing the hell out of the place with high-altitude cameras, two or three times daily. “I spent the next day in the tower and it was much like the first, ex cept it was plainer and plainer that we would have to abandon Clark."So the next morning the evacu ation began. They gave me one of the planes they had patched up, and Al Mueller and I made two trips back and forth to Del Monte loaded down with members of the ground crews who were to service our planes at Del Monte. “I’ll never forget my last trip out. It was at night of course—if wasn't safe to leave a plane on the ground by day at Clark any more. We were taking off at three in the morning in order to be through the danger zone by dawn, and I’d had almost no sleep at all. But while they were warming the mo tors they came running to me with the news that there was a pretty bad leak in my fuel line. So what in hell to do? I could wait while they ripped a fuel line from one of the semiwrecked Forts standing around on the field, and installed it in mine. But by then it would be well after dawn, and if we encoun tered Jap fighters, there I’d be, with sergeants stuffed into every corner of the plane, so that we wouldn’t have room to swivel a ma chine gun ih our own defense. "Or we could- tape up our leaky get- the hell out of there in the darkness, and pray the leak didn’t get worse or a hot exhaust stack didn’t set it off in mid-air. We chanced it, and made it all right, but it turned out to be my last trip, because the next day the Japs came back and put out of com mission what was left of Clark Field. “I got the story from Eddie Oliver, who had been my navigator on Old 99—he and I were the only survivors of the entire crew—when he got down to Del Monte a few days later. “The Japs, having reccoed Clark Field thoroughly, came over all ready for business. Some guy had carelessly left a pillow exposed in the cornfield, so they knew we’d been sleeping there. They-blew hell out of it with their high-altitude stuff, and didn’t touch the regular flying field, which they’d put out in the first day’s raid. Then their fight ers came over and with incendiaries set fire to the nipa shacks which had been our quarters. In them was everything I owned, including the watches, diaries, and wallets which had belonged to the crew of Old 99. “It was now hopeless to operate from Clark, everyone saw. Any way, the Japs had landed light tanks on the coast at Apari, so five hundred rifles were issued to what ground personnel we had left there and they went off with infantry units to chase them out if they could. The poor devils ended up on Bataan. Each time we moved, we had to leave some of the ground crews be hind. “So here we were now at Del Monte, about fifteen Fortresses in all, but patched up and in such bad \ 4 * > ‘v \ " f a He wasn’t thinking about how many gross tons that Jap ship dis placed. repair we were lucky if we could get half a dozen off the ground at any one time. “But otherwise it was a lovely setup. A pretty turf field right up against the big pineapple cannery— the executives had used it for their little private planes before the war. A country club these executives had built, swell food (until we ate it all up), a swimming pool, turf tennis courts—even a few white women, which set all the boys staring—but not an antiaircraft gun or a fighter plane to protect us for hundreds of miles around. “Pretty soon we improvised our own ack-ack. A couple of ships cracked up, and we jerked their .50-caliber guns out of them and installed them in sandbag pits; this would be of some help against low- altitude strafing if the Japs were accommodating enough to: come in low. “And one of the first things that happened was that we lost our squadron commander, Major Gibbs. He had taken off under cover of dark ness on a secret mission—and did not come back. We never knew what happened. Weeks later the native constabulary of Negros Island was to bring in the cushion of his plane—it had cracked up against a mountain in the dark.” “But, sweetheart,” said' Margo, “you’re forgetting your-first cable.” “No, I’m not,” said Frank. “I got it off as soon as I could. “All it said,” Margo explained, “was: . “ ‘Beloved Doing all right under circumstances Wire Eddy’s brother. Frank.’ “Of-course I sent the wire, but I couldn’t understand at all. Eddie, of course, was Frank’s navigator on Old 99. But what about the other boys? Why hadn’t Frank told me to wire their families of all toe sergeants. It wasn’t like Frank to forget. “Anyway, all cables are unsatis factory. This one was dated at Ma nila on the seventeenth, so of course Frank had been alive then. But I hadn’t got it until toe nineteenth. Anything could have happened in those two days, and for the first time in my life I was powerless to help him. I’d been furiously writ ing letters—still addressing them to Clark Field. Each was a problem, because I wanted each to fill a need. I couldn’t tell him I was worried, because that would be letting him down. He would think I didn’t have complete confidence in him. I would start to write toe little news about family affairs, and it seemed so trite—because maybe he’d be read ing it in a foxhole, not having eaten for a week. Maybe he’d be wound ed. And maybe each one would be the last letter he would get—for a long while toe only thing he’d hear from me. “Then I had to do something about myself—I could see that. Sitting in my room thinking, I would go to pieces. And I wanted to get started doing something useful before Christ mas. Back in October Frank prom ised me he’d call on Christmas Day, and now I realized I’d been building on hearing his voice then more than I knew. I also realized that maybe he wouldn’t be able to. If that call didn’t come through, it would be hard for me to take. “My little brother (he’s a fighter pilot now) was getting married out on toe Coast during the holidays. They were asking me to go out. But suppose Frank did call me Christ mas, and missed me? I decided to wait in Omaha for that call. “But just waiting would drive any one crazy. I warned to help—to get close to the Air Corps. So I went down to Colonel Houghland’s office —he was air officer of our 7th Corps area in Omaha—and put it up to him. “He didn’t laugh because I wanted to work without pay—he couldn’t have been nicer. He showed me huge piles of applications for avia- tion-cadet assignments in the Air •Corps that were coming in. I could help, he explained, by classifying and filing these, getting them in their proper groups, help speed up the stream of reinforcements which toe boys out East would need so badly—we didn’t dream how badly.” “We needed everything,” said Frank. “Ground crews, pilots, co pilots. And to make it worse, our own group commander, Colonel Eu bank, had been hurt and was in a Manila hospital. “We were getting more and more uneasy. Here we were, comforta ble on this beautiful field. It was as peaceful as Clark Field had been before December eighth. We’.d fled from Clark down here to Mindanao, and even as we were arriving toe Japs were putting troops ashore at the southern tip of this same island, where thirty thousand Japanese “farmers” had taken over the city of Davao on the first day. “But here at Del Monte we saw people who didn’t seem to know a war was on. The. only military "around was some kind of a trans portation outfit. The first day we were there I got hold of a couple of privates and gave them orders to dim out the headlights of every car—no matter whose—that ap proached the field. But the trans portation officer decided he’d stop all that. It seemed the boys, carry ing out my orders, had even stopped a staff car, and the transportation officer explained that they needed more light. “Well, our planes were on that field, and I knew the Japs were •headed down the coast and would be here soon enough anyway, and I didn’t want to attract them any sooner than necessary. “But before they did come, toe old 19th Bombardment Group—or what was left of it—got in some mighty hard licks at them. For in stance, there was the Le Gaspi Bay mission. Our Intelligence reported a big concentration of Jap ships moving south toward us down the coast of Luzonr Of course that meant the handwriting on the wall for us, particularly if one was a carrier with Zeros which would presently be in range of us and could strafe us on the ground—remember we hadn’t a single American fighter within five hundred miles. “Sure enough, Intelligence pres ently reported that they thought one of this concentration was a carrier, and now they were just off Le Gae- pi. It was up to us to take off and do what we could. We’d been work ing like hell to get toe planes ih shape, and finally had six which we thought could complete the mission and get home. But remember Old 99 was back on Clark, and I was a planeless pilot. So it ought to - be Harry’s story—he was navigator on Jack Adams’ plane.” “Well,” said Harry Schrieber, the navigator, "it was Itoe this. The six of us were to start at ten o’clock, and Jim Connally rolled out first, and got a flat tire right on the run way-throwing one wing into toe ground and crumpling it. That left five, and it wasn’t so good, because there is safety in numbers in For tresses—the more of them that go over a target together, toe more firts power you can bring to bear against toe Zeros, and the more Forts will get back home. “But anyway we started. The pi lots were Shorty Wheless, Pease, Lee Coats, Vandevanter, and of course Jack Adams—I was his navigator. “We are flying in formation to our agreed rendezvous, in case we got lost in heavy weather—a point thirty-five miles due west of our tar get—and we are due to be there in two hours and fifteen minutes after our start.

HARD WATER SCALE Question: I have some water pans that are used with radiator covers for humidifying the air of the roofn. After a season’s use these pans have a heavy coating of white sediment, due to our hard water. I have pre viously scraped and painted the pans, although scraping does not remove all the accumulation. What kind of paint should I use to pre serve them? Answer: Fill each pan with water mixed with cider vinegar in the pro portion of a cupful to the quart. Bring to a boil and allow to stand overnight. The scale should then be loose enough to be scraped out eas ily. A good paint would be an alu minum paint with a spar varnish base, or a heat resisting black as- phaltum paint. You may have a substitute that will serve until after the war.* * • Finish for Wire Screens Question: What will remove rust from almost new wire screens? They are natural wire color, unpainted. What can I use to preserve the wire, which will not change the color and appearance? Answer: Clean off the rust with steel wool, and then wipe the screens with turpentine. Paint them with a very thin varnish, toe kind that can be applied with a lintless cloth. If you cannot get this, use a mixture of two parts spar varnish and one part each of linseed oil and turpentine. If this blobs in the mesh, brush it out with a dry brush.• * • EFFLORESCENCE ON BRICK Question: How can I stop the salt peter from coming out on the bricks of my home? Answer: The "efflorescence” can be removed by scrubbing with a mixture of one pint muriatic acid in 4% quarts of water. Pour the acid slowly into the water to pre vent spattering. Mix in an enamel pail in good condition or a wooden pail. Use a fiber brush and do not allow this acid to remain on the brick for more than two or three minutes; longer action might dam age the cement in the mortar joints. Rinse well with plenty of clear wa ter to remove every trace of the acid. As this acid is highly corro sive, use rubber gloves and wear old clothes and goggles. Do not get any of it on your skin, for it would make a burn. A colorless waterproofing on the wall may retard the re appearance of this efflorescence.• • • Noisy Heating System Question: I have a newly-built house heated by oil. When the unit goes on the radiators knock, al though I open the gadget at the side to release air. What will stop this knocking? Answer: Try raising the radia tors a quarter or even a half-inch by placing a block of wood under each leg. See that each radiator stands perfectly level.» • * Stains on Gas Range Question: What will remove the brown coating which forms around the door of my gas range? Answer: Try cleaning it off with a scratchless scouring powder mois tened with a little water and a few drops of household ammonia. There also are commercial preparations for cleaning enamel on gas ranges, etc.. . . Joint Cement Question: The cement filler at the joint where toe gutter pipe enters the drain tile in the ground level al ways cracks away. What to do? ' Answer: You can use a roofing ce ment, or, if you object to the black color of the roofing cement, you can fill the joint with a caulking com pound of a light color. ‘Dustless’ Dnst Cloth Question: Some time ago you had a paragraph in your column about making a dustless dustcloth. I have misplaced toe paper. Will you re peat?Answer: Soak flannel or thick flan- elette in a mixture of two parts par affin oil and one part turpentine; wring out and hang out to dry.

War is a long way from North Carolina —but in so many ways it’s mighty close to us. Our men are fighting all over the world — our factories and farms are producing an endless stream of supplies our troops depend upon. But even that isn’t all — it wouldn’t be enough! We have so much more to do right here in North Carolina—jobs that are up to all of us, jobs that must be well done. In the 4th War Bond Drive, for instance, North Carolinians bought $172,000,000 worth — 37% above our quota—but we’re keeping right on buy ing more and more! We’ve gladly given our money to the Red Cross — and hun dreds of thousands of hours of our time to making surgical dressings and kits for our men overseas. We’ve supported and worked for the U.S.O. and various war relief groups. We’ve built and maintained an efficient Civilian Defense organization. We’ve collected scrap and rubber, tin and fats. Whatever has been asked, North Caro lina has done — and then some! The men and women of the Greyhound Lines, like their fellow-citizens of North Carolina, have shared in all of these activities. They’ve also shared in the vital job of moving wartime manpower —in uniform or in work clothes. On special occasions they’ve transported U.S.O. Camp Shows and brought part ners to camp dances. Greyhound buses —by making near neighbors and good neighbors of all tile communities they serve in tUf Stpite — Iqr linking cities, war plants,-farm centers, and military camps and base* — are helping to keep North Carolina’s war efforts rolling to ward Victory!

PAUL BECOMES A MISSIONARY LESSON TEXT: Acta 13:1-4; 14:8-20. GOLDEN TEXT: The Holy Spirit said. Separate me Barnabas and'Baul for the work whereunto I have called them.—Acts 13:2. • . . . Men are God’s instruments for ac complishing His purpose in spread ing the gospel message. - They must, far such a high and holy calling, .be men called and prepared by Him, faithful to Him, and wiUihg to sac rifice all .for His vgloiy.... Paul is a great example of such, ,a. life. He was— I. -Separated by the Church (13: 1-3); God was about to begin the great missionary enterprise, which opened with the journeys of Paul and con tinues to this day. The church at Antioch had capable men in its membership, and the Holy Spirit called for the separation of two of these, Paul and Barnabas, tor a special work. A number of interesting things emerge here. It is good to note that the church had men trained and ready for service. Do we? Observe that the Holy Spirit wurked through the church. There are those who do not speak too high ly of the place of the church in this matter. Certainly it is true that if the church has lost its vision and message, God,may call men even outside of its membership. But the orderly way—and God’s way, if the church is ready—is to have the church separate men-for service. The church at Antioch gave its best, without question and without hesitation. It is an example worthy of our emulation. n . Sent by the Holy Spirit (13:4). There is a sense in which the Holy Spirit functions as the executive member of the Trinity. His purpose is to magnify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to bring men to faith in Him, To carry out ,that plan, He sends men opt to, speak of Jesus. The sent one is always successful, for he goes the way, at the time, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. To be sent by Him is the mark of distinction upon the Christian work er. m . Serving by Deed and Word (14:8-18). The story of the healing of the man who had been a cripple from birth centers around that beautiful word “faith.” God is always looking for faith in men and women, and so we who serve Him should learn to be alert for even the slightest indication of a belief in Christ. All too often we blunder along, a bit too eager for action, or too insistent upon a thing being done in just our way, and thus fail to see the gleam of faith to which we may address the gospel appeal. “Seeing that he had faith” (v. 9), Paul turned all the power of the eternal God loose in the impotent feet of the man, “and he leaped up and walked.” God help us to be ready to be channels for the outflow ing of His power! ’ Impressed by the miracle, the people wanted to accord the disci ples the worship of gods. One is im pressed both by the promptness with which Paul and' Barnabas stopped the demonstration and the skill with which they improved the occasion for a testimony, for Christ!The servants of Christ are.in. far greater danger when men speak well of them and would worship them, than they are in the hour of opposition and persecution. Not that-,anyone would suggest that a .true, word of appreciation .or honor be withheld from a faithful teacher or preacher, but let it be given for God’s glory and not for the praise of man. IV. Suffering for Christ’s Sake (14:19, 20). The highest praise quickly turns .to the most hitter hatred. Finding that they had foolishly attempted to deify two Jewish preachers, and being visited by the Jews who made it their business to pursue Paul to this city, they stoned him. Incidentally, it is of interest to observe how zealous people can be for an evil cause. Having set out to hinder the gospel they were will ing, yes eager, to spend time and money to- carry out their ’purpose. The children of Sataq arp often more diligent thai) the children -ot light (Cf. Ltike 16:8). Paul was left for dead; in fact, there'are those Who believe that he was dead, and that it.was at this time he was caught up into the heav ens and had the vision spoken of in II Corinthians 12:1-4. If that was the case, the raising of Paul was an actual resurrection from tl}e dead. For a man so stoned as to be left far dead, to arise and journey on the following day to another city, was a miracle 61 God’s power/' In this case,, God delivered His servant, not-from; ihis troubles, but through them. We must not always expect to be saved, from trial, but we can be sure that God will deliver us either “out of” or “in” our troubles. Let us trust Him!

(Nail dropped dead before the case ever reached the highest court,) THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES The man who heads our govern ment Should be a man of might, A man whom God has called and sent To lead and r.ile us right; A man who loves our Nation’s flag Our country and her laws, Who’s not content to see us lag And lose sweet Freedom’s cause He ought to love our people much And be a man of truth; Intoxicants he should not touch, But warn our noble youth Against degrading beer and wine, And liquor’s cnrse and blight, And show that only what’s Divine Can lead and guide us right. His life should be an index great That points to things sublime. And proves to us our only fate Is sin and waste of time; Then leading upward he should find A mighty, mighty throng Were in his footsteps just behind, Singing the victor’s song. He ought to be a living gem Of princely love and right, And prove his crowning diadem Is not to gain the height Of President, with power to rule, And fame that soon shall fade, But that it's teach us in life's school How character is made. He ought to faavecommunion sweet With God from day to day; The word of God shonld be his meat Along his toilsome way; And he shonld snow thr.t right a. lone Can win the 6ual race. And bring us to the crowniog throne Where we shall see God’s face. New Deal Philosophy Mr. Eiditor: In a Virginia village not far from where I live are two brothers, and as strange as it mav seem, they are twins. Both are car penters. One of them saved bis money, and invested his first $300 in a Sirall lot, then by hard work he saved enough money to bdy the ma terial to erect a small house for him self and family, doing the work him self. Within the next five years he bought another lot and erected a small house, this one to rent Now after 30 years of hard labor this thrifty carpenter owns six small houses, (only one of them erected within the past years) and receives en ugh rent from them to support his wife, himself and a crippled daughter. His brohter, though a better carpenter, has been a heavy drinker and a spendthrift. Today our government is taxing the first brother to the point of los ing his property, and is supporting the “no good’’ brother in grand style. Isn’t this a typical example of New Deal philosophy?—C. P. Robertson, in Union Republican. Land posters at this office.

The Republicans have hit the jack pot again—in several states In Virginia, rock-ribbed Gibral tar of Democracy, a Republican was elected to the State Senate from the Roanoke district, and to “rub it in" the Republican won on a “ write in’’ campaign The last Republican to be elected there, even for dog catcher, has never been re corded. Rentucky did something when it elected a Republican gov ernor last November and a Repub lican Congressman in December, but when Virginia elects a Repub lican it is eatitled to space in the “ believe it or not” colnmn. In Pennsylvania the manpower shortage has hit the Democratic Party, resulting in an acute short age of candidates on the Democrat ic ticket. There are 23 State Leg islative seats that will go to the Republicans uncontested this year —two in the Senate and 21 in the House of Representatives, In ad dition one Congressional seat has gone begging. No Congressional candidate was selected by the Dem ocrats in the 17th District, now re presented by a Republican who is a candidate for re-election. In Philadelphia a Democratic member of the Legislature, a Ne gro dentist who has served four J terms as a state representative, has swung over to the GOP fold and filad for re-election as a Republi can. The Republican trend in Phil adelphia was further evidenced in voter registrations for the April 25 primaty election, In new voter re gistrations the Republicans led the Democrats by a margin of better than 2-to-i while the Republican edge in party changes was slightly in excess of 10 to-r. New voters included 24,441 Republicans, 10,- 135 Democrats, 566 Non-Partisans and fonr Socialists. Democrats shifting their party affiliation to Republtcan totalled 3,434, cotnpar. ed with only 329 Republicans who switched to the Democratic ranks. Iu Illinois a vacancy in the 19th Congressional District caused by the death of William H, Wheat, Republican, will be filled at a by- election, Three Republicans have filed as candidates, bnt not one De ' mocrat. ApparentlyNew Deal De mocrats figure that in central Illi nois their case is hopeless. In Minnesota, Congressman H. C. Hagan, lone Farmer-Labor Par tv member of the state delegation in the House of Bepreeentatives, has filed for re-election as a Repub lican, declaring “the time has come for those who believe in America and its ideals and traditions to join forces, regardless of party afifilia- tion. I feel, aiong with many oth ers—Farmer Laborites, Democrats and In dependents—that, the time has come to exert our fulles tefforts to save democratic principles in A- merica. Therefore, many of them will decide to join me in exercising what I conscientiously believe is my patriotic duty to support the lead ership of the Republican Party . . in the struggle to preserve our free doms . . .

Her husband is not a quiet man, nor is he apt to become a peaceful, anyhow for the dnration old warhorse was sniffing the battle from afar? For our own part we very much hope that Wendell Willkie will not retire from the battlefield merely because he has decided not to strive to lead every charge, but will de mand and receive a seat in his party’s national convention, b e placed on the platform committee and there fight for his views as to a sound domestic and international policy.

Iovasion Dangers The American people have been re galed of late with a sorry lot of dire prediction concerning the approach ing invasion of western Europe There is no intention here to mini mize the risk, the danger, and the fact there will be casualties, but we can see no sense in ' the overdrawn horror prophecies that have come from certain newspaper correspond ents, magazines writers and military men. AU American military operations to date have been invasions, Onr troops invaded Northern Africa, Sicily and Italy, and in the Pacific— island after island has been stormed, yet our total casualties in more than two years of warfare have been few er than America’s ordinary, peace time automobile accidents. There is no doubt that the entire western coaBt has been heavily forti fied, mined and sown with booby traps. There can also be no ques tion that appropriate steps have been taken to protect our invading forces as far as is humanly possible, and that our men are prepared to deal the enemy blow for blow and will probably take a toll far greater than the German with all their devilish ingenuity will be able to inflict on them. Once a beachhead is established progress should be swift, for the terrain is not difficult and there are a few natural obstacles such as were encountered in the conquest of Sicily and in the fighting on the Italian mainland.—Ex.

A Forgotten Warning In 1932 Franklin D, Roosevelt was the candidate of the Democra tic Party for a first term as Presid ent on a platform pledging “an im mediate and drastic redaction of governmental expenditures by a bolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and buteas and eliminating extra vagance to accomplish a saving of not less than 25 per cent in the cost of Federal Government." In a campaign speech delivered in Pittsburgh Pa., on October 19, 1932, Candidate Roosevelt gave this warning: “The credit of the family de pends chiefly, on whether that family is living witLin its income for a year or two it can usually borrow temporariy at reasonable rates. But if. like a spendthrift, it throws discretion to the winds and is willing to make no sacrifices at all in spending, if it extends its taxing to the limit of the people’s power to pay and continues to pile up deficits, then it is on the road to bankruptcy.” Despiie this warning—and the pledge “ I am going to be honest at all times with the people of this country” given by PresidentRoose velt in a radio address May 7, 1933 —the New Deal launched its “spend and spend and elect and- elect” program The spending spree con tinued for ten years before Pearl Harbor, piling up ten successive anoual deficits in the Federal trea sury. Voters and taxpayers Ot the na tion, who still place reliance on tbe old fashioned virtues of thrift, hon esty and integrtty, will draw their own conclusions. Schools Active In Poli tics, Says Beal Fate J. Beal of Charlotte, the pre sident of the North Carolina Young Republicans, charges that the state school system had become enmeshed in prolitics that its efficiency was ser iously impaired. Beal made his charge in an inter view with the Charlotte News after returning from Raleigh where he visited the resent state teachers’ con vention. “The force that is being used to turn the educational system of the state into an out-and-ont political machine is appalling.” he declared “because these efforts strike at the basic education of our children, and by ruthless policies direct trained educators in the type of education that may be provided for the grow ing minds of the youth of North Ca rolina.” Beal said he had been told that teachers and educators had been "forced” to contribute to party cam paign fundB, “and that those who didn’t soon found that it would be better to seek other places to teach.” At the convention, he declared “it was common talk in the lobbies of hotels and almost everywhere that McDonald (Dr. Ralph McDonald, one of the candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor) has the school folks on his side and Cherry (Gregg Cherry, another seeker of tbe Democratic nomination), has the state highway forces aud patrol.’’ Folly Voided His relatives telephoned to th e nearest florist.

Georgia Farmer Quits In Disgust Overcome by what he termed tbe red tape of government bureau- cracv, James H. Wylie, Rome, Ga., merchant and farmer, is abandon ing his fertile i.soo-acre farm near Vincent, Ala. “I think it's a hell of a note,” he said, “ when I have to pay taxes to be put out of business and stop pn - ducing at a time when food is needed oerhaps as never before and when tbe Agricultural Department is pleading with the farmers to pro. duce on the largest possible scale. “Bureaucracy has goi the agri cultural population so hopelessly entangled in red tape that unless drastic reforms are put through promptly the food problem will be come more serious than it is, and it’s tad enough now.” Wylie said be is getting rid of his herd of 250 beef cattle, for which he will be unable to grow feed. Instead of tbe 10 to 20 men he once hired to work on bis farm, he said he bad only two employees left and told them they “can go fishing. Hisdecisiontoabandontbe farm resulted from trouble he encount ered in trying to get a truck to re place tbe worn out vehicle in which he had been transporting German war prisoner workers from Fort McClellan. These trucks are in the custody of the Treasury De partment, but efforts to get one have proved unavailing. CAN THE LORD DffENO ON YOU AND MB 'IF MY PEOPlL WHICH ARE QUID BY MY NAME, SHAU.

Not long ago Alex Robb of the Thoroughbred Racing association pointed out that a wide-open Derby occasionally produces a sensational horse.

Later, they evacuate to Mindanao, and as they ar* rive Japs are already putting troops ashore on the island. Squadron Com mander Major Gibbs goes out on a secret mission and fails to return. Harry Schrel* bet, the navigator, takes up the story. Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y t * 1 T . X M l t e w.n .u.tea tu res Keep the Battle Rolling With War Bonds and Scrap CHAPTER VI “About an hour out of Del Monte, Shorty Wheless drops out of forma tion—we guess it’s engine trouble and he can’t keep up this rate of climb—and half an hour later Pease. As we come to the rendezvous point where we’re due to make our turn and go straight in on our target, only thirty-five miles away, Lee Coats drops out—his motors we can see are weak, he can’t make the al titude. “That leaves just my pilot, Jack Adams, and Vandevanter to go on in alone. When we thought there would be six planes, we had planned to divide into two flights of three planes each. The flights were to come in on the target at three-minute inter vals and at different angles. “There are just two planes now, so Jack decides he’ll pretend he is one flight and Vandevanter will play like he was the other. The two of us against this big gang of Jap ships we are closing in on. “So, as agreed on, we come in first—flying north to south. But the overcast is so thick we have to get down to about 18,000 before we can see the target, and there it is—we’re glimpsing it and then losing it and glimpsing it again through breaks in the clouds—a row of transports and naval craft escorting them. “When we come in on the target. I’m down there in the lower jaw. But now my job as navigator is temporarily over, so I can leave it and go back to the bomb bay, where the bombs are hanging in racks on either side of a little aisle. “Now the bomb-bay doors are opened, and light comes up around the bombs. And now the bombs are away. I lean over to look down through the open bomb-bay doors, feeling a little woozy because my oxygen mask is back by my seat in the navigator’s compartment, and just before Jack Adams from his pilot’s seat slammed those bomb- bay doors closed, looking down be low the belly of the ship I think I see something, but then the doors slam shut and there is only black ness. So I run back to the navigator’s compartment, and, boy! there they are—a whole gang of Zeros coming up after us. How did I feel? Just the way anybody feels the first time, no matter what they pretend later—it scared the hell out of me. “There were five of them after us —climbing up and in on our tail. Our bottom gunner shot down the nearest one, but the other four kept coming in a tight formation. Jack Adams began wish-washing our tail up and down to give our top gun ners a chance at them—no reason why the bottom gunner should have all the fun—and sure enough, the top gunner picked one out of that formation. That left three. "So then Jack pulled a cute one. He throttled back suddenly and one Zero overshot us to the left, which made him a clay pigeon for our side gunner, who picked him off. Then still another came up under our stabilizer in the tail, and our bottom gunner got his second for the day. That made four Zeros down and one to go—and it was still going for us in spite of all we could do. “We’d dribbled on down through the bottom of that cloud, and Jack was looking for a nice beach to set her down on. But there wasn’t any beach—only jagged rocks with white surf wrapped around them—and we kept losing altitude. “The hell with those, so Jack nosed her in toward land, still losing aititudeWast, and then right ahead of us we spotted a big clump of trees—about sixty feet high. Well, there wasn’t time for anything but a prayer, and not any long rambling one either. But Jack handled the situation beautifully. He pulled her nose up as high as he dared and just cleared those trees, and then, cutting the remaining two motors so we wouldn’t have to climb out of her in flames, he made as nice a belly landing in a rice patch as you could hope for. “You’ve forgotten that one remaining Zero? Well, I hadn’t, be cause it had followed us all the way down. I crawled out as fast as I could and started running away from the plane parallel to the wing. The funny thing was Bill Railling, the co-pilot, was either stunned or felt comfortable right where he was. Anyway, he stayed right in his seat while this Zero circled and then came in, right along the line of our wing. I just had time to fall down on my chin and then it all happened in a split second. The Zero’s guns opened up, so that the first slugs began kicking up the dust about thirty yards away in a straight line just a yard from my chin as she went by with a big wh-h-h-i-i-ish- sh-sh—the slugs beating a tattoo along the length of the Fort’s wing, with old Railling dreaming away there, all relaxed in his seat, right in the middle of them, and, believe it or not, the boy wasn’t even scratched! “Within three minutes of the time we crash-landed in the rice paddy behind those tall trees we were sur rounded by a gang of Filipinos, all waving the longest, sharpest knives you’d, want to see. But pretty soon we convinced them we weren’t Jap anese, so they all got helpful and told us we were on Masbate Island. “Because these natives wanted to honor the American officers who were fighting for their country, they brought me a donkey to ride. Of course to have refused would insult them, and yet I didn’t dream the kind of a deal I was getting into. The first half-mile wasn’t so bad, and I even thought I was lucky I wasn’t walking and getting sore feet, like you do in the infantry. But pretty soon I began to realize, first just a little bit, and then more and more, that there are worse things than having sore feet. “We crashed on the fourteenth of December and on the twentieth we bought an outrigger canoe for fifty pesos, and hired natives to sail and paddle us to the island of Panay, with me getting a chance to brush up on my navigating. When we were about forty miles from land I noticed the skipper of this craft of ours had m m ? h Because these natives wanted to honor me they brought me a donkey to ride. crawled up into its nose and was peering down into the water. Why? Well, he explained, there were sup posed to be a lot of floating Japa nese mines here, and he thought it would be all right if we didn’t bump any of them. “The next day we landed on Pa nay, and were told the American forces were all ganged up down at its southern end, and when we got to them we reported to General Chynoweth. Then we really were in for it. Because it seemed the old 19th Bombardment Group had left Mindanao for Australia; so they grabbed us and attached us to a Filipino Field Artillery regiment, giving Jack Adams, Bill Railling, and myself a battalion to command, which we thought was going to be a considerable honor, since we were only lieutenants. “Then we looked them over. They were all about high-school age. Half of them didn’t speak English, and the job was to get them to under stand you. Of course they didn’t know what to do with a rifle, but this didn’t matter, because we had only fifteen rounds of ammunition per man—not enough for an hour’s target practice. “The Field Artillery part of it all consisted of the name, plus six sights for old World War French 75-millimeter field guns. The guns themselves had been sunk on a sup ply ship in Manila Bay. The sights had been shined up and were in prime condition. “We didn’t encourage these kids to keep their rifles loaded, being afraid that if one of the guns went off in the dark they would start banging away and shoot each other and maybe us, so we gave them bayo net practice instead. Early in Jan uary they moved us over to Caygay- en on Mindanao Island—we heard all the troops from all the islands were to make a stand there. But no Japs. They gave us a section of the beach a mile and a half long to defend if they came.“Right behind our lines there was a small Jap colony. We knew they were there, of course—we’d gone through their houses looking for ra dio equipment, anything they might use to send information to the Davao Japs—and we posted a small guard around them. But they’d slip put and go on down to Davao to join the Davao Japs, and there wasn’t much we could do to stop it. We were only a handful ourselves. “So I was tickled to death when word came to go. back to old Del Monte Field, where the planeless aviators were being assembled for: evacuation to Australia, where we would get safely back into the air again. “I got to Del Monte on March thir teenth and we were all ganged up on the field, where we were expecting B-17’s to carry officers and men to Australia. At 9 p. m. we heard the motors of a plane and turned on our landing lights. But it didn’t see them and kept on going. We didn’t know it then, but we didn’t have Al priority, for those planes that night were intended to take out General MacArthur and his party and their baggage and records—only the Gen eral hadn’t yet arrived. But we supposed the planes were for us. “About 11 p. m. we heard another plane and snapped the landing lights on, and this time it saw them and landed. Out of the Fortress stepped Lieutenant Pease of our own 19th Bombardment Group. He told us the other plane we had heard was Godman’s—it had got mixed up and bumped into the sea. “But Pease was immediately called over by General Sharp, who told Pease that General MacArthur had been delayed, and that the plane should wait over a few days until he came.“Now Pease didn’t want to wait over for a single hour of daylight on Del Monte Field, for by that time the Jap planes were swarming over the place. Pease knew the Air Force was trying desperately to hang onto what few Forts they had left, and he realized that if he stayed over the next day the infantry would make him quite comfortable in a foxhole at the edge of the field, where he could watch his plane become the prize for a Japanese turkey shoot, for Del Monte by this time was as unsafe as Clark had been, a fact the infantry didn’t seem to have quite grasped. “So Pease explained to Sharp it would be all right with him, provid ed General MacArthur understood what he was getting into, that he had a fine plane here except that it had just come from the Java war and was slightly out of repair. It was too bad, for instance, that the superchargers were out, but he hoped he’d be able to clear the run way on the take-off and not slip off into a cartwheel at the end of it, spilling the General’s party and all that baggage all over central Minda nao. And then, if he did take off, there was the little matter of his hy draulic system, which had gone bad on him, so when he came to land the brakes wouldn’t work, and he might not be able to stop when he came to the end of the runway. “Well, General Sharp decided that it certainly wasn’t suitable, and told Pease he’d better get started back to Australia before dawn. “ ‘Pease,’ I said, Tm goin’ with you. You don’t know it, but you got a new navigator for this trip. Be cause I’m not goin’ to stay in this damn place no more.’“Well, Pease agreed to let me work out my passage that way, and also said he could take off fifteen other planeless aviators if they didn’t mind the risk. “We all got in, and discovered Pease hadn’t been bragging a bit about his plane when he talked to the General. It was in just as terri ble shape as he had said it was; in fact, he had been overly modest about it. “Now take a look at us in Austra lia. Exactly forty-eight hours after we arrived the Australians told us Radio Tokyo had broadcast, ‘It is now understood the American Fly ing Fortresses are operating from Batchelor Field near Darwin,’ and they were one hundred per cent right. “How they knew it we never learned for sure—probably from Jap pearl fishermen, who had been thinly scattered along this Austra lian coast and who when war broke out went back and hid in the bush. The RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) boys would spot their camp fires at night and try to track there down, without much luck. Probably they had rqdio senders, and even a layman could count our four en gines and recognize us as Flying Fortresses. “The country itself is as desolate and sparsely populated as the worst parts of West Texas and New Mex ico, and the most important town for a thousand or so miles is little Port Darwin, with seven or eight thousand people, sitting there on the rim of Nothing-at-All. It has wide streets—like one of those Midwestern towns built in the boom of the eight ies a good hotel which is subsidized by the Qantas Airways and reminds you of the one on Wake Island, a band which plays in a bandstand in the park, and a zoo with a few emus, kangaroos, and koala bears. No fresh vegetables, everything im ported in cans. There you have Darwin. “Batchelor Field was about forty miles back in the brush, and it con sisted of a couple of runways hacked out of the mesquite (it was hard to get tools for grading or dynamits for stumps) and a hangar run by the RAAF.

C APRIL 26 1944. THE DAYIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD • - Editor. TELEPHONE I Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks* vllle, N. C., aa Second-class Hadl matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: NE YEAR. IN ADVANCE • $ I «0IX MONTHS IN ADVANCE - * 60 As the days go by it looks more and more like Tom Dewey and family will be moving into the White Houae next January. A Davie farmer figured out one rainev day that he had walked three hundred miles cultivating one acre of corn. He then sold bis farm and moved to town, where be walk* ed six hundred miles to find a job, and he's still walking. Seems that Dr. Ralph McDonald has all the big Democrats in the State on his band wagon with the exception of a few state employees Gregg Cherrv could save a lot of time and money by withdrawing from the Gubernatorial race. There are a few Republicans in Davie who do not favor Dewey for President, but the number is too small to notice. So tar as we can learn most of the Democrats in this section will continue to vote for Delano as long as he can be nomi nated. President Roosevelt said four years ago that be would send no mother’s son to foreign shores un less this country was invaded, or words to that effect. The boys are on foreign shores, but if this coun try has been invaded we haven’t found it out. Soldier boys throughout th e world write us how they enjoy get ting their home town paper. If your son, who is in the aimed forces is not getting The Record, you should send it to him. We are supplying our soldier boys with The Record at or below actual cost They want the paper, and we want them to have it. The price is only $1.00 per year. A man stopped us on the streets the other day and said we did not publish all the news. We have wife and sotnecbildren depending on us for a living. Yes. its a fact, we don’t print all the news. If we did, wouldn’t it be spicy; reading? But it would be for one w;ek only. The next week you would read our obitnary and there would be a new face in heaven. AU the news is allright when it’s about the other fellow. Senator Tosigh Bailey wants the Democrats t o nominate Senator Byrd, of Virginia, for president, and James Farley for vice-presi dent. Democrats throughout the country are tired of this New Deal crowd, consisting o f Roosevelt, Hopkins, Wallace, Ickes, et al, who have plunged this country in debt to the tune of a hundred bil lion or more dollars. It is a long lane that has no turning Defeat is staring this gang in the face. Rev. Walter Isenhour, who writes a weekly sermon for The Record says the President should be a man of truth, and that lie should not touch intoxicants, and should warn our vouth against degrading wine and beer. We believe Mr. Isen hour is right despite the fact that our President is the man who pro mised to legalize the sale of intoxi. cants if the people would elect him to the highest office in the land. He was elected, aud today saloons are more numerous in this country than filling stations were before the war. Prominent Visitors Mocksville had two prominent visitors Saturday afternoon in the persons of Dr. Ralph McDanald, of Winston-Salem, a n d R. Gregg Cherry, of Gastonia, Democratic aspirants for Governor. Dr Mc Donald spoke to a representative gathering of voters in the court house, while Mr. Cherry visited a- round the square and shook hands with the folks. Grady Ward is Two Commissioners According to the North Carolina election laws, Davie Democrats will have only two county commission ers to vote for next November, in stead of three. The filing time for all county officers expired on April 15th, at 6 o’clock, p. m , and only two Democrats, E. C. Tatam and I. G. Roberts filed for these offices. The name of Ben Y Boyles given us for publication as having filed for county commissioner, but he visited our office last week and advised us that be did not file for office and would not have his name printed as being a candidate. It seems that some one paid the filing fee and had him entered without bis knowledge or consent. This means that one place will be vacant on the Democratic ticket this fall Crash Claims 4th Victim Lynell Richardson, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore R. Rich ardson, Mocksville, Route 1, fourth victim of an automobiie-truck ac cident South of Mocksvilla Sunday morning, April 16, died at Salis- bury hospital at 2:20 o’clock last Tuesday afternoon.

But their meaning is already clear on the world’s battle fronts. They mean carloads of crops are on the move... Hihting food from fertile Southern fields. They mean vital weapons of war are rolling... tanks and guns, jeeps and planes...fashioned in the South from Southern raw materials. They mean that the Southern Railway is delivering the goods...the thousand and one Southern products that are contributing to America’s Victory. In “delivering the goods” in wartime, we are learn ing how to do our transportation job more efficiently than ever before; how better to serve a postwar South of new products, new industries, new slrills.. .a land of prosperity and plenty, bursting with new oppor tunities for all. This is the Southland that men of faith and vision see in the brighter days that lie ahead. This is the high promise of tomorrow...a promise that “chalk talk... with a Southern accent” is helping to fulfill. President SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM THEDA Oldest Pai No Liquor I n e w s a E. L.

Warner Bros, is certainly trying to do right by Mark Twain. “The Adventures of Mark Twain,” co- starring Frederic March and Alexis Smith, will have its nation-wide debut in more than 200 theaters, will be shown at advanced prices for one week. Those who have been confused by Bie conflicting stories coming out of South America can’t afford to miss the March of Time’s new release, “South American Front—1944." It tells, and shows, the truth about Argentine’s so-called “palace revolu tion.” It shows what an impressive amount of rubber, quartz, mica and tantalite were supplied us by Brazil, and how important was Brazil’s grant of air bases. Too bad everybody who listens to Joan Davis and Jack Haley on the air can’t see them working—bat it’s a great break for the servicemen at the military posts where they’ve been broadcasting on their eastern trip. When Rudy VaIIee went into the service radio wiseacres won dered if Joan could hold up the pro gram that succeeded his; with the able assistance of Haley, the show has moved right into the top ranks, Deafening noise was created on Vox Pop in a war plant the night Parks Johnson demonstrated the new army lip microphone, which permits distinguishable speech over disturbances.

She evidently had. “Well,” said he, “that was me.” For mystery fans; Republic’s making “Secrets of Scotland Yard,” with Edgar Barrier.

The children will enjoy doing new things and mother can feel she is contribut ing to their all round develop ment. Naturally it isn’t a good idea just to open wide the doors in the kitchen and leave the children up to their own designs. What I’m suggesting is that they be allowed to make up something they’ve watched mother do so often they know how.

PAUL WINS RECOGNITION FOB GENTILE CHRISTIANS LESSON TEXT: AcU 15:23b-29; Gala. Uans 2:1, 2, 9. 10, 20, 21. GOLDEN TEXT: Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.—Romans 5:1. Problems and differences of opin ion need not be harmful if they are properly met and honestly set tled. In the church at Antioch a question had arisen which had to be answered, authoritatively, and once for all. The early converts of the church were naturally from among the Jews, and they carried with them into their new-found faith the traditions of their religion. Some of them did not recognize that the sal vation they had in Christ was en tirely by grace apart from any works of the law. They not only felt that they must observe the law, but insisted that the Gentile believers must also fulfill the Jewish rite of circumcision. This promptly raised the question whether Christ alone could save, or if men were saved by grace plus works. To settle this matter, Paul and Barnabas went up to the church at Jerusalem, and there a great coun cil discussed it freely, and came to a decision which was then trans mitted by letter and a committee. We find— I. Fundamental Principle Established—Salvation by Grace (Acts 15: 23b-29).The believers at Antioch were to abstain from those things which would hinder their spiritual prog ress and harm their testimony. That was important and right, but it must not be allowed to confuse them re garding the basis of their salvation. They were not saved by works, no, not even by the most commendable. Salvation is by grace, through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast (Eph. 2:8, 9). That principle, which is absolutely foun dational in all Christian thinking, was established then, and is valid and blessedly true for all time.Is it not strange, then, that all through the church’s history there has been a determined effort on the part of some in the church to add something to God’s redeeming grace as a ground for salvation? One would think that all the peoples of the world would rejoice in such a gloriously simple and altogether divine redemption. It is well worth our attention to observe how the matter was han dled. Observe the plain rebuke giv en to the teachers of error in verse 24. It is no light matter to trouble and mislead the souls of men, by injecting our worldly wisdom or our opinions, when we should be teach ing the truth of God’s Word. Note that there was fine courtesy in sending the message to the church at Antioch by messengers who were men of distinction and great spiritual courage. It was not a case of abruptly telling this new church what to do, and end it there, but of using this trying situation as a means of drawing the churches together in fellowship and mutual faith. n. Sound Practice Observed— Walking by Faith (Gal. 2:1, 2, 9, 10, 20, 21).The life of grace is not just some thing to be written or talked about, or to glory in, although it is all of these. It is to show forth in the daily walk of the Christian. Paul in Galatians 2 tells of his experience in Jerusalem, of his meeting and discussion with the brethren. It was all of vital impor tance to him and to the cause of Christ, but it is not the record of an academic argument, or the vaunt ing of a personal victory which he presents. He rises to the high point of Chris tian experience, the realization of the fact that a believer has died to self. He is crucified with Christ— and yet he lives. Yes, he lives in a newness of life which is not his own, but Christ liv ing in him. There is the secret of real Christian living—a complete ac ceptance of all that Christ is, in and for the believer.This truth is at once deeply spir itual and com pletely practical. Again, we say, it is not something about which one theorizes. It is an actuality—something which Chris tians can and do live out in daily experience.. It is “the life which I now live” of which Paid speaks, and that is by "the faith of the Son of God,” who Ioved n s and gave Himselfforus ........ To fail to receive and appropriate this grace by seeking to be made righteous through the deeds of the law is to deny the need of the death of Christ, in fact, to make it a vain thing.Some may feel that all this is too deeply theological for them, but it really is not, for God does not expect us to explain it, but only to accept it. This is His work, and it is in deed wonderful in our sight (Ps. 139:6), but not too wonderful to re ceive by faith, to rest and rejoico in, and to declare to others,-----------------------. ..is# Hf © 5 2 4 4 fT lHE first days of spring are no more colorful than the colors of this gay little canary, done life- size and in bright yellow with flowers of fed, green and blue.
