If you didn't have religion
when you went up, you got it up
there close to God.
Oftimes the biggest thrills in
life come Unexpectedly. 1t was
like that one October day in
Guadalcanal where Navy and
Marine pilots are daily writing
the most glorious chapters in
the history of air fighting.
WATCHING TOTO
You had been down at the
beach to watch TOTO come over
on one of his almost daily bomb
ing raids on the island. AS usual
his bombs fell wide of their
mark, but you had tried to emu
late a sand crab when a strafing
Zero came down the beach, a
Grammar fighter hard on his
heels filling his tail with ar
rows"
You'd swing back to Hender-
son Field to see what was 60
ing on there, just in time to see
"TBF" torpedo bomber Grum-
man-taxi to take off. You sig
nal wildly to the pilot, point to
the camera and self, make a
sign common on the highways
and he signals you to come on.
So you'd grabbed few extra
rolls of film for a Leica, a cou-
pie of film packs for Graphic,
stuffed filters in your green Ma
rine uniform work suit, lodged
under the prop" and climbed
aboard.
In the navigator's compart-
ment between pilot and gunner,
you'd wrestled with a recalci-
trant chute while taking off,
finally to give it up after you
were convinced it had been
made of a small man instead of
q six-fOoter. Having placed en-
tire faith in the pilot, you start
to look around to see where
you're going-and with whom.
You spot a squadron of scout
bombers loaded with business
like 500-pound bombs and join
the formation with the uncom-
Portable realization that you're
in the only torpedo bomber in
the squadron.
For an hour or more you fly
north at 10000 eyes on the sky
above, eagerly scanning the
water below. By this time you've
realized you're looking for
trouble, but aren't sure that you
want to find it Despite lack of
fighter protection, machine gun
ners manning the rear guns in
the scouts" give you a we'll
protected feeling.
CLOUD PICTURES
You make pictures lodging in
and out of cumulus clouds and
hope they turn out as we'll as
they should, wishing you had
some color film along.
After losing your comrades in
a heavy cloud, you come out in
to the open. glance below, see
this target:
Spread out on a cobalt sea,
sterns kicking out white stream
ers of wake, two cruisers and
four destroyers dodge and
swerve. You take your eyes
from the scene for a moment to
eighteen your safety belt and
your plane starts to buck and
kick like a steer. Rough up
here" you mutter audibly, then
look over the side to see you're
i'm the middle of putting balls
of black smoke.
Up until now you've been
just an observer of something
remote. Then it suddenly be-
comes very personal. He'll"
you remark with some surprise,
that's "A, and they're shoot
ing at us"
Your still unknown pilot
looks over the air above, swings
into q wide arc as the scout
bombers start peeling off. You
try to watch the bombers and
their target and a cruiser dead
ahead of your nose, but the
angle of your plane interferes.
Then you start down.
This is it," you mutter I'M
happily and hold on with every

Defense Party
For Providence
Hospital Benefit

The Auxiliary Board Of Provi-
dence Hospital has arranged a "de-
tense party" instead of its annual
card party and dance to obtain
financial assistance for the hos
pital. Mrs. j. Rozier Biggs Is presi-
dent of the Auxiliary Board and
Mrs. John P. Burke is general chair
man of the benefit.
Instead Of the patrons and pa
troneSses paying their customary fee,
they are being urged to invest a
Like amount in Defense bonds and
stamps, and all other friends and
supporters Of the hospital are asked
instead Of buying tickets for the
annual party to likewise buy bonds
and stamps.
Mrs. Burke has established head
quarters at the hospital to which
these bonds and stamps and other
contributions may be sent, so that
the Auxiliary Board, while Cooper
at1ng in the Presidents appeal for
an an-out war drive, may also be
able to make their annual gift to
the hospital larger than ever to
meet increasing demands upon
Providence Hospital, especially in
civilian defense.
Due to the vast increase in peo-
pie coming to Washington to assist
In national defense, the calls upon
the hospital for service already are
far in excess Of the facilities.

War Production Director Donald
M. Nelson sought to make II clear
today that there is no friction be-

He took this stand at a press
conference yesterday at which he
refuted published reports that he

tion in the recent streamlining OF

war industries would end follow
ing a forthcoming visit to England.
