However. a miracle happened, the
Wanted German air force. fresh
from score of victories on COnti-

the mOors and pleasant fields of
the British Isles A small but
doughty group of youths drove
their "Spitfies" and Hurricane"
at the NaZi air armada. in the best
tradition handed down by Drake
and shattered once and for all time
the myth of NaZi superiority. Given
small respite. the brave people
of England girded on their armor

weary months built by a machine
of vengeance. that soon began to
meet the NaZis on the latter's home
grounds. With American help, the
Germans have been practically
swept from the skies and now Herr
Shicklegruber's wretched people
are learning at first hand about

however, is mild. the great attack

probably could not have stood il
much longer All three Of us

When the sun rose, buoyancy
increased and they were off
again, crashing and humping
against ice hummocks. Strind-

he became very seasick from the
incessant mrching and some time
during the afternoon Andree took
severe blow on the head. BY

MYSTERIES of the SEA

And they were caught in the
ice, helpless,
After more days Of misery and
fear they sighted White Island
but could not get TO shore. Fogs
cnshrouded them and the drift
carried them slowly past the end
OF the island. They built them
selves an igloo for shelter and
prepared 20 wait for a change Of
wind. But suddenly the ice began
TO crack and they were in i'm
minent danger OF drowning.
Detroit evening times., 1943-06-13

FORTUNATELY, before the hut
itself cracked. they were driven
ashore. Hastily they dragged
their equipment up a gravelly
beach and prepared to camp. But
there was little they could do,
for next day they were practi-
cally buried under a blizzard. But
they did not give up. They
started to make a shelter.
Strindberg remarked in his

DUr they were far from land. .
- Hastily making fast their

X/EARILY they made camp

towards the Seven Islands.
Brave men they must have
been, three tiny spccks IN an
aching white wilderness of bitter
cold and mercilcss wind. Fog

TO quote Andrcc's diary:
while we were sitting inside

Fraenkel were getting supper

pants, l heard a noise outside the
tent and when ] looked through
a crack in the opening l saw a
bear close 10 my nose I did not
leave off sewing but merely said,
Look, there's another bear for
us Whcreupon, Fraenkel took
hold OF one Of the guns and crept
out. The bear then stood a few
steps from him In order TO attack
but was met by a bullet that
brought him down dead"
So continued the hcart-break-
struggle Every night a damp
chill inside the tent All three

bag. Fraenkel was in agony
from stomach cramps and an in

smoother but thin, and one man
had TO crawl ahead to test its
thickness.

Fairchild Boxers
Take Three Titles

Three champions and one runner
up in the South Atlantic A. A. u
boxing tournament held in Balti-
more Wednesday, June 23rd, was
the total scored by Representatives
of Fairchild Employees Recreational
Association.
Harry Raffensberger won the liz
pound championship by a KO in the
first round of the finals, defeating
Kanzanski, of Martins. Raffens-
berger, winning his way to the
championship match by judges de-
cisions, started the finals with some
thing of handicap, due to the heat
and tough bout preceding the final
1t did not take him long, however
to get started, for in the first few
seconds of round one he tented the
Glenn Martin representative, max
ing him raise his guard, and shot a
straight hard left to the mid-section
of his opponent. That was enough
for the Martin representative who
took the ten count gazing in the
stars. Raffensberger was presented
with the A. A. U. championship
trophy.
JacOby Runnerup.
Ed Jacoby, in the LAT pound di-
vision, lost in the finals to Irving
Klemkowski of Baltimore. Jacoby
had won his way to what was
thought the championship and had
dressed to leave the stadium when
he was informed that an error had
been made and he would have to
fight one more opponent for the
championship. The decision to
Klemkowski was a close one and
the bout one of the best of the
evening Jacoby was presented with
the runnerup trophy. Preston Dunn,
FERA representative in the same
weight class as Jacoby, and his
sparring partner, had defaulted his
match in order to second Jacoby in
the final
Bruce Johnson, 100 pounds, and
Tommy Bell, lat, both colored and
representing FERA from Plant 7,
won through default. No suitable
opponents were available 70
matches and both the boys were
presented a certificate emblematic
of championship in their weight
classes.
Stewart Paxton, Recreational Di-
rector; Cleve Henson, and Ed
Heartsfeld acted as seconds for the

He said the city already has per-

to rebuild Vast Washington street
from Summit avenue to Summer

made available to resurface Sum
NIT avenue and Jonathan street
from Lee street to Pennsylvania
avenue.
The summer program also in
