Warden Declares Spring Cleanup
Intricate Rehearsals
For African Invasion
Aviation Cadet Now in Training at Yale University
DisCIOses Personal Experiences Before Big Thrust

New Haven, Conn.,, April ala
part Of the story Of the amazing
mass Of intricate preparations that
preceded the invasion OF Africa last
November was revealed here today
by an Aviation Cadet at the Tech.
nical School Of the Army Air Forces
Technical Training Command at
Yale University, commanded by Col.
Charles T. Arnett.
Told by Cadet Joseph Condor, Of
Philadelphia, studying for his COM
mission as q photography officer,
the unfolding Of the details Of the
pre-invasion missions affords an &C
curate guage for the general range
Of preparations that were "musts''
before any Of the actual machinery
OF the mass movement OF men and
material could even be considered.
Condor was q technical sergeant
In charge Of the photo laboratory Of
q photo mapping mission that went
to Africa last March TO photograph
the African continent from high
flying Consolidated Liberators and
Flying Fortresses. The panoramic
photos that Condor took were later
used to scale the maps now being
used by American field troops In
Africa.
I'VE were the first American SOL
diers to land in Nigeria" said Con-
don. Our mission was to photo
graph the West African coast, the
Central belt across the continent
and to photo-map the African por-
ton OF an air route to India. We
used B-l7S and B-24s, stripped Of
all their guns and bomb racks, to
carry all our photo equipment and
aliow for 700 extra gallons Of gaso-
line"
Dubbing their fortress the blue
Goose" because OF Its camouflaglng
blue color to make 1t blend into the
sky at Its $4,000 foot attitudes, Con-
don's plane was part Of the photo
outfit that had Lieut.. Col. Elliott
Roosevelt, then o captain, on It's
roster.
captain Roosevelt was our oper.
ationS officer and part Of his duties
required him to post his orders or
the bulletin board at the base. But
the notices never stayed up long
The boys would take them down x
save them as souvenirs" smiled
Condor.
Starting out from Liberia, Con
don's photo fortress mapped dow
the west coast through French Yves
Africa, the Ivory and Gold Coas
regions, across Nigeria, French Equa'
torial Africa, the Lake Chad region
Anglo Egyptian Sudan, and I'D thu
Nile to Cairo, where their part o.
the mission was terminated. An.

Dash me penny, MASTER Everyone
was Master to them"
At Gambia, 90 miles below Dakar,
Condor and several others In his
outfit went into the bush. They
traded two cartons Of American Gig
arettes to the natives for 80 chick
ems, and the Raj men at Gambia
cooked them. I'VE certainly never
expected 10 get chicken dinners In
Africa"
While at Accra on the Geld
Coast the heart Of the African ma
laria belt, he came down with the
fever, despite the five grains Of quiz
nine the boys took with their eve
ming mean, and was hospitallzed for
O month.
wherever we encountered the
British, they treated US swell. As
soon as we ,ould land, the Raj
men would come out and welcome
us. They let US use all their facili-
ties and even invited me to use their
sergeants' club. We couldn't spend
our money; they would insist on
treating US TO everything we want
ed"
Leaving Africa in July TO return
to the U. 8. their outfit flew back
in 4 days as against the "a days It
took them to cross originally by
boat. Once back In the U. s. he was
assigned TO Boiling Field, Washing
ton, D. c., and was later ordered 10
rejoin his old outfit in Colorado
Springs, Colo. He arrived IN Color
ado the day after his outfit left for
another overseas assignment and
was put In a reconnaissance squad
ron until he was appointed an Avia-
ton Cadet and sent to the Yale
Technical Training Command school
TO become q Photographic officer.

To Excellent Start
County Chairman Points Out
However That Thus Far Only
Few Small BUYERS Have
Come Through

Garrett county got good start in
the third war loan campaign to raise
$4,000 by reporting sales totaIing
$96, 200 for the first week The report
included all banks and the Oakland
postofficc, according to II. C. Riggs,
county chairman.
Mr. Riggs pointed out that while
the first weeks results were crafty
ing the total represented mostly the
larger purchases and did not include
many purchases for $25, $50 or 500
bonds. He declared that it would be
necessary for many individuals to
purchase bonds this time if the quota
was to be reached.
A number of committees through
out the county are at work, urging
persons to buy bonds Mr. Riggs has
presented this need at the Maryland
Theatre for the past two nights.
The drive will continue throughout
September.
The first three days of the drive in
Maryland brought subscriptions of
