kingfishers Go Dive Bombing

MASSACRE BAY, ATTU IsLAND-But to
smell out trouble for the battle feet but to
stay away from it if possible, the Navy's
little Vought Kingfsher observation scout
plane, too has gone on the warpath up here.
Following the example of the giant Catalina,
it tried its hand at dive bombing and liked
it. Swooping out of the fog, in a recent en-
gagement. it slammed Japanese positions with
32o-pound bombs, instead of acting in its
normal role as the ''eves" of the fleet.
Powered with 450-horsepower Pratt &
Whitney Wasp Junior engine and using a
two-bladed Hamilton Standard propeller, the
little plane has range of about 1000 miles.

In one of these-against 25 Zeros-Cor-
salrs accounted for IS out of l6 enemy planes
shot down by I. S. fighters. In the other, a
Marine squadron leader raced his squadron
of CorSairs to the aid of six Lockheed P-3S
Iightnings which, in spite of the odds. were
taking on Is Zeros in fight at 10000 feet.
The squadron leader himself got three Zeros.
Back from the fights, pilots told of their
ability to follow any evasive movement of
the Zero One Jap, for example, tried to
escape with tight loop. With its greater
speed, a Corsar looped outside the enemy all
the way, finished on top, shot the Zero down.
The Corsair's 2,000-horsepower Pratt &
Whitney Double Wasp engine driving the
Hamilton Standard Hydromatc propeller has
given the Corsair such superior speed as to
achieve faster rate OF climb than the Zero
Greater speed in level flight was reported all
along the line with no qualifications All pilots
reported the new fighter plane successful as
an lnterceptor.
An analysis of the F4U's performance in
one of these engagements revealed that this
plane responded to every demand made upon
it. A Marine squadron leader reported, Cor
salrs are better than anything that we or the
Japs have from any angle"
Another pilot reported: IT dove from
10000 to $4,000 feet and came out on the
tail of Zero ahead of another Corsair. After
one burst, the Zero blew up. l leveled off
against another Zero. He started climbing

self He certainly was good to me
when I was his prisoner, and it was
ne himself who let me go. It'd
like ever and ever so much to go up
to his house and have all the fat
nuts I want without the trouble Of
hunting for them. I believe I'll run
up TO the edge Of the Old Orchard
and see if he is anywhere about"
Chatterer scampered down from
the old apple tree and scurried along
the Old Stone Wall in the direction
of Farmer Browns dooryard. When
he reached the edge of it he
very carefully peeped out. Farmer
Browns Boy was standing on the
doorstep whistling, and his whistle
was very soft and sweet and good to
hear, and what it said was: Phoebe,
Phoebe"
Chatterer knew right away that he
was calling Tommy Tit the Chicka-
dee, and he was not surprised to hear
soft reply-"Phoe-be, dee, dee, dee
Phoe- -be''-from the Old Orchid. A
minute later Tommy Tit the Chicka
dee was helping himself to fat nut
meats from the hand of Farmer
Browns Boy.
Now, this was more than Chat
terer could stand Why Tommy Tit
was just the teeniest. WeenieSt bird,
just a little round ball of black and
white feathers. He has no sharp
teeth or stout claws with which to
take care of himself. And yet he
dared to do what all of the other
little forest and meadow people were
afraid to do Chatterer couldn't
stand that. He ran out from the
Old Stone Wall toward Farmer
Browns Boy and then stopped, with
his heart going pitapat, pitapat.
Farmer Browns Boy saw him right
away, and what do YOU think he did?
Why he tossed a fat hickory nut so
that it fell halfway between him and
Chatterer.
Dee, dee. dee! See me See mel
What are you afraid Of, Mr.. Fraidy?"
called Tommy Tit.
Chatterer felt his mouth water as
he looked with longing eyes at the
fat hickory nut. And it hurt his
pride to hear little Tommy Tit
laughing at him. He suddenly shut
his teeth with a snap and darted
forward to the nut, and then with it
held tight in his teeth raced back to
the safety of the Old Stone Wall
Not until he was there did he dare
to so much as look to see what
Farmer Browns Boy was doing.
When he did look he found that
Farmer Browns Boy hadn't moved.
He was smiling, and somehow that
smile made Chatterer suddenly feel

crabs and fishes of fiat form. Often,
he will lie on the mud to watch for
his prey.
Young halibut swim upright and
have their eyes in the opposite sides
of their head. As they grow, the
head twists sidewise and the left
eye actually moves to the right side.
Youthful halibuts remain for some
time in the nursery area but adult
members of the family are wide
rangers. Scientific studies have
been made to establish the roaming
instincts of the older halibuts; those
tagged on the Alaska Peninsula have
been caught 200 miles from the place
of tagging.
Today, the Pacific halibut fishery
is carried on in the most efficient
administration possible. In this
way, the fishing, the use OF the
proper fishing gear and the careful
research done to protect the stock
will benefit the fishermen as we'll as
the consumer. Since we have been
made aware of the Importance of
fish in our diet and the substitution
of more fish for the meats needed for
our Army, it is good news to know
that our halibut and other favorite
fish are not only protected, but
abundant for our needs.

And yet, Tommy Tit insisted they

At one time, cod fishermen on the
New England banks considered the
halibut pest because of its de-
termination to steal cod from their
nets. However, it was not long be-

only too willing to 60 as far as the

all over and try again the next day.

Halibut, the largest member of the

MISS OLIVIA KEHHOLTZ

Miss Olivia Keilholtz died at her
home, the Bloomigndale Farm, near
Woodlawn, in the Sixth District,
March %. She was the oldest daught-
err of the late Charles Keilholtz and
would have been 81 years of age in
june. While on visit to her sister
in Baltimore in October, 1886, she
fell and broke her hip. She remained
in the hospital for a year, then was
removed to her home, where she has
been faithfully cared for by her
youngest sister, Marian (Mrs. G. W..
Poist). She had not spent all her life
on the farm, as she resided in Balti-
more for a number of years and at
Folcroft, Pa. She had long been a
member of Hopewell Metho ST
Church. Surviving are her brother,
George, who resided in Seattle, Wash
milton, and four half sisters, Mrs.
Erwood Sparks (Clara), Mrs. George
Peters (MabeD, Miss Ola Keilholtz
of Baltimore, and Mrs. G. w. Poist
(Marion), who lives at the farm. A
sister, Miss Florrie Keilholtz, died
last June.
Interment was made in Hopewell
Cemetery.
