Watery Grave Ends
Gallant Career Of
Flying Fortress
Brentwood (Md.) Pilot
Flew Tug Boot Annie
Over RubuuI First Time

Capt. Arthur A. Fletcher Of 3426
Evans street, Brentwood, Md, was
one of several pilots of Tug Boat
Annie, a Bit Flying Fortress that
ended a gallant fighting career of
nearly eight months in a watery
Pacific grave, the War Department
disclosed last night.
Like the fictitious character for
whom it was named by its donors,
the citizens of Portland, Oreg., Tug
Boat Annie always brought her crew
in safely after raids over Rabaul.
After the last, on January 16, it was
heading homeward, battered and
shot through and through 1t ran
out of fuel short distance from a
beach and as it settled in it's grave,
the crew climbed out and waded to
shore unscratched.
Tug Boat Annie accounted for a
number of Zeros in its repeated
raids, but its big day was when it
sank japanese destroyer.
I'VE all feel that Portland's gift
to the Army Air Forces more than
did its part in the battle of the
Pacific" the crew said.
Annie's Diary Sent in.
The diary of Tug Boat Annie from
the time 1t left the factory until it
went down into the sea. was sent to
the War Department. 1t was COM
piled by the officers and enlisted
men who flew and fought in the
plane.
Capt. Fletcher took the Fortress
over the Rabaul targets for the first
time.
The diary opens May %, 1912,
when Tug Boat Annie arrived from
California plant to an air depot in
the State, reday for combat assign
ment.
Capt. Paul I. Williams of Norman,
Okla, gave it the first flying test,
but Capt. Harry J. Hawthorne of
Iowa Park, Tex, the commanding
officer, didn't like the sound of the
engines. Four new engines were in
stalled.
The overseas hop, June 6, was
made with 1t. Bruce Gibson of
Baltimore at the controls.
Her real adventures began June
%, after secret mission, when it
landed on an island in the Pacific.
Australia was the next stop and
then followed month of fighting.
On that first mission over Rabaul,
the Fortress was struck six times by

Without faith we can have no real peace.
Attend local church, or your own, and
there, with your fellow Americans seek the
strength and confidence that only faith in
the eternal truths can give us.
America needs such faith today-in you
in all of us. 1t alone can bring US the
victory of truth and justice :. it alone can
give meaning to our future.
Make your faith an active daily part of
personal life.

There were many differences among the

common; faith in God and human freedom

NURSING SCHOOL
WARNS OF NEED.
FOR TRAINEES.
BY MARJORIE nOAGLAND
United Press Stals CORRESPONDENT

(Umtteu FtC88 Gt1h VoFreHpOWueNtl
Minneapolis, March i5,-(Up)-
University OF Minnesota school Of
Nursing, Oldest institution Of Its
kind N the world, Is Sp.sedlng up Its
courses TO meet war requirements,
Miss Katherine ]. Densford, al.
rector OF the school, warned that
the government estimated 5000
student nurses are needed In leAS
The loA2 requirement Of 5000 had
on Dec, l fallen short Of attainment
by $4,000, though misunderstanding
schools OF nursing had facilities for
training The full number.
Nothing Mere ESSENTIAL
"The WAVES. the WAACS, and
other uniformed groups have such
tremendous appeal that many
young wolnen-eSpeclally college.
trained ones-may be overlooking
the fact that nothing Is more es-
sential to victory than enough
nurses" Miss Densford said, yet
nursing Is war work with O future,
to be rs highly essential all over
the world In the reconstruction Pc
riod rs now"
Nurses trained at Minnesota ore
serving on oil Allied fronts, includ.
Ing North Africa, Tunisia and
China, Miss Densford said At the
school, they may have had either
the three.year or the speeded.up
four-year course, which gives q lib.
eral arts background, professional
training, and q speciality.
Can Work Anywhere
with either course, they IRE
qualified TO work anywhere they
choose, from emergency mobile hos
pitfalls along the Burma Road to
hospitals In London or New York
City" she said,
Miss Densford said the nursing
profession was appealing for re-
cruiting OF new traineeS from the
groups Of college graduates, She
pointed out that earnings should
Ee comparable to those In other
professions, and that the basic
character OF the work makes II es.
peeially satisfactory from the wo-
mans angle"
