Seven Gordon Junior High
Students Tell of
Old Georgetown

Sound-effects men are common
enough at Station WlMAL, but yes
terday there appeared an tnnova-
ton in the form of a sound-effects
woman.
She was 14-year-old Mildred
Myers of 1900 H street NV, who
was one of seven Gordon Junior
High School students appearing at
noon on The Stars weekly program
for junior high schools, Washing
ton, Your City and Mine"
Mildred claimed she had been
given the sound-effects job because
she had the smallest speaking role
in the students dramatization OF
famous houses and personages Of old
Georgetown. Studio officials said
there was nothing hit or miss about
her performance, however. She
opened and shut doors, lifted tele-
phones, rang door bells and punched
library cards with a professional air.
Dramatizes Landmarks.
The haf-hour program was one in
a series school pupils are presenting,
dramatizing the landmarks in their
communities. Unusual for the small
number of students participating. it
told thousands of listening junior
high school students over the city
that Georgetown" is the third name
borne by the settlement on the
Potomac.
Indians first lived there and called
it "Tohogee." When the travel PAM

Henry Fleete, attracted Scotch and
Irish settlers, the town was called
New Scotland" Formally laid out
in 175l, it was named Georgetown
for the reigning king, George II.
Among the famous men living at
some time in Georgetown, the stu
dents singled out John c. Calhoun,
who lived at Dumbarton Oaks, now
a Harvard library and national park:
Lafayette, who visited there, John
Howard Payne, author of Home,
Sweet Home; Francis Scott Key,
author of the national anthem. and
William w. Corcoran, philanthropist.

Also singled out for comment was
the former name of Thirty-first

AMI John Mccall had been close
friends and hated to announce the
news. However, he was asked direct
question and must necessarily ans
Wer.
For a moment he twisted his air
force cap nervously in knotty grease
stained hands, then blurted out, cts

arated from the squadron just after
you did, Sir. Words just come by
phone. Shot down over Kent way.
Guess he couldn't bail out, Sir. We
was beginnin' to worry about you,
too, Sir, but says to the other me-
chanics, I says, Lieutenant Hutchin-
son can take care of himself"
Tweedy was proud of two things:
first, that he was David's special
mechanic; and second, that he had
learned through contact with the well
educated pilots where to place his
HIS, something that few Cockneys be-
fore him had ever known. He saw
that the news had profoundly shock
ed his boss, and added, "I'm sorry,
Lieutenant"
David was so deep within himself,
so concerned with his own thoughts
and collecting his nerves to combat
this new tragedy, that he probably
did not hear the last remark. If he
did he gave no sign of it, and climb
ed slowly and silently from the mar
row cockpit. Still without speaking
he turned the plane over to the little
Cockney, and walked slowly across
the field to make his report.
This was no new experience to
Hutch. Several times, in fact often,
close frienls had failed to return.
But this seemed different. A few
seconds more and he might have saw

mind very carefully every move that
he had made to try and find flaw.
He wanted to take the blame, yet he
couldn't honestly pick out an error

hadn't had that oil leak. Well, he

SYNOPSIS

david Hutchinson, American AVA
tor with the Royal Air Force "HOr-
nets, makes a forced landing on a
golf course in Kent, England, where
he meets lovely Wendy Bruce, on
leave from the Ambulance Corps.
Just as David finishes repairing his
plane, he hears that familiar drOne
in the sky. Seeing three Messer-
schmidts chasing one Spitfire, he flies
off to join in the fight. Wendy
stands rooted to the spot, watching
the battle till the planes disappear
in the clouds. Then she wends her
way to "The Downs, ancestral home
of her father, Lord HarrOwdale. War
had changed the luxurious mode of
life at "The Downs" for all were do
ing their bit; his LOrdship was an air
raid warden, while Lady HarrOwsdale
directed the local hospital. Wendy
can't get the American out of her
mind; even now he might be lying
on the ground somewhere, wounded
or dead. Arriving home she finds
her brother, Philip, there on leave
impatiently waiting for an Opening"

his voice sounded tired. ~ saw the
scramble, Sir. Didn't get close enough
to recognize him, though. I only
knew it was a Spitfire." Then he
went on to make his report-a simple
story of what had occurred from the
time he had been forced to land to
repair the oil leak until the present
moment-short and to the point.
Only twice did the Commanding
Officer stop David to make queries
or ask additional information, and
he appeared satisfied with what the
young American had to say. News
had already come in by telephone con-
firming victory over the Messer-
schmitts, as well as McCall's death,
and the stories checked perfectly.
"Well," the C. o. said, rising and
shaking David's hand. "That's your
fourteenth official victory. Congrat-
ulations! Now what do you say about
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1941-05-23

lish. There were no parachutes float
ing through the air to tell that either
or both of the pilots had saved them
selves. The story was easy reading
to his experienced eye. The Spitfire
had gotten the leading Messerchmitt,
but had been a victim of the two fol-
lowing planes. The latter were now
circling low to watch the crash, and
Hutch was we'll above them. Though
it wasn't his fault, he swore at him
self for being too late, then dived, his
motor and eight machine-guns wide
open. He was turning for second
attack when he saw a squirt of flame
come from the motor of one of his
enemies. The pilot turned it grace
fully on its back and bailed out, glid-
ing slowly to earth behind his burn
ing plane.
The other Nazi pilot, finding him
self face to face with a fight on
equal terms, disappeared into the
nearest clouds, and David, his supply
of gasoline fast dwindling, did not
follow but turned into the direction
of his home field.
When Hutch flew over the familiar
home ground, he did a Victory Roll
to show that he had brought down
one plane, but he did not feel the
keen exhilaration that usually came
over him after winning a fight. Two
planes for one was a good score, but
he couldn't help wondering who the
English lad he had seen courageous
ly go to his death might be. The
plane had been easily recognizable as
a Spitfire, but not all the Spitfires in
England belonged to the Hornets. In
fact there were dozens and dozens of
other squadrons using them, and it
would be coincidence if he had even
heard of the fellow.
Nevertheless, the idea that this par
ticular case struck pretty close to
home obsessed him, and when Tom
Tweedy came running out on the field
to meet him, his first thought was
to ask if all the pilots were in.
Tom was happy little Cockney,
full of that indomitable spirit which
laughs at adversely to ones personal
self. But he was shy when it came
to handling the misfortunes of others,
and particularly uncomfortable if
these misfortunes had any connection
with David Hutchinson when he lido
lized and considered the worlds great
est pilot. He knew that his chief

there was the chance for counter
attack. This would make the fight
ing even at two all. He didn't under
estimate the strength of the Ger
mans. They were good and had plen
ty of courage, and an even fight was
not to be disdained. The Me. 109s
were faster, but the Spitfires were
easier to handle, more maneuverable'
And the British planes also had the
advantage of the eight synchronized
machine-guns. Hutch glanced at the
simple bit of mechanism that would
start them barking out a message of
death at his lightest touch.
What was it that captured Ger
man pilot had said? Something about
"Stuffyt Dowding's eight machine
guns. Oh, yes. He had said that no
bomber in the world could stay in
formation when the British let go
with "Stuffy" Dowding's eight ma
chine-guns. "Good old Stuffy," Da-
vid muttered, at the same time try
ing to get more speed.
"Stuffy" was the affectionate nick
name by which the junior officers of
the R. A. F. called him, but his real
title and name were Air Chief Mar
shall Sir Hugh Caswall Tremenheere
Dowding, and he was in command of
Britain's fighting planes. The men
under him idolizel "Stuffy", believ-
ing justly that he was responsible to
great extent for the successful de-
tense of Britain in the air. David
had met him once at the field where
he had come to congratulate the Hor-
nets, and remembered the tall, ca
daverous Scotsman with more than
pleasure. Something he had said
passed now through the young Ameri-
cans mind and he quoted it to. him
self as he sped along through the
air at terrific speed. It was to the
effect that "the life of a military
aviator consists of hours of idleness,
punctuated by moments of fear"
Hutch felt that during the last days
this did not altogether apply. He
personally had known little Of idle
ness, and this went for other mem
bers of the squadron, and he had not
had time to experience fear. On his
first few trips into the air as fight
er he had known fear, real and terri
flying, an emptiness in the pit of his
stomach, followed by things moving
around and pulling inside.
But that strain was over. Like
stage-fright, he had conquered it, or

%%R.A.E: ; n Il

perhaps it had just gone away as
! fighting became more and more a
routine matter of everyday life. He
could honestly say now that he rarely
knew fear. When he went up, he be-
came part of the plane itself, of the
cold mechanism which directed it,
and he thought only of the job at
hand, how it could best be done. Self
was forgotten, and only after he had
returned to the field and given the
plane over to the hands of Tom
Tweedy, his devoted and capable me-
chanic, did he ever know that flying
had a personal angle to it.
Sometimes, after particularly Sc
we're combat of a very dangerous mis-
sion, Hutch knew a reaction and
realized that his life had been in
grave danger, but not always. AS Of
ten as not he made his report, dismiss
ed the whole matter from his mind,
and quickly forgot the Germans, en-
gaging himself intellectually in a
friendly card game or a heated con-
versation Tin which "shop" talk was
forbidden with his fellow pilots.
Now as he came nearer and near
er to the fighters, everything except
the chase was swept from his
thoughts. His eyes roved constantly
from the instrument board, where
everything showed that the plane
was working smoothly, to the dodg-

"Cheerio!"

"Cheerio!"
The instrument slid to the floor,
Wendy dropped her head in her up
turned palms, and wept frankly, I'M
ashamed.
Hutchinson took off from the golf
links, banked sharply and roared, his
motor wide open, in pursuit of the
three Messerschmitt 1O9s that were
marrying the lone British fighter. His
reparation of the motor had been sue
cessful and it was now running as
