SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING

Mayor E. E. Engstrom, called a
 special City Council meeting last evening to consider the applica- tion for a new five year lease on the Municipal Cannery site, by the Douglas Fisheries Go. City Clerk L. w. Kilburn also read his own
 resignation as City Clerk, stating
 that he wished to be relieved from his duties at the earliest possible
 date due to the ill health he has encountered during the past six weeks. MT. Kilburn has for the past 25 years, been Douglass most active City official holding every City office including, Mayor, Street Commissioner, Marshal, Councilman, City Clerk and always active in the Douglas Chamber of Commerce of which he is still an official. MT
 Kilburn can look back upon the past years of service to the city with pride and know he has done more than his share to the munl- cipality of Douglas. Prior to the installation of the new City water system, MT. Kilburn owned and operated Douglas water supply for many years and has been the larg- est property holder here. Upon his resignation, he will manage his apartment property here. The City Council accepted his resignation with a vote of thanks for his past service, but asking him to remain

HORSE AND BUGGY
. . DAYS :.
BY the Old Lamp Lighter

The modern buses hauling chill
dren to and from the consolidated
schools, recalls, no doubt, to mind
of more than one reader of this
column, the little old country
school house in his or her own
community. Time moves on. Now
the children do not have to trudge
through the snow and half drown"
in rainy weather in order to be
present in school. And if you re-
member, We were generally there,
too. And we stayed from the time
we got there early in the morning
until or 4:30 in the afternoon.
Also we could not go off the school
grounds at noon or, recess time,
without permission. Cold lunches
were the order unless a pupil hap
pened to live near the school
house. RecollectiOns? Here are
some of them:
The water bucket was placed on
a shelf in one corner of the room
and when the bucket needed re-
plenishing, two boys would usually
(upon asking permission) go to
spring or some nearby water
source. The school teacher, usual
ly a man sometimes woman;
our first teacher was Miss Hite-
schew, another Miss Rebecca
Brown, John Kelly, John P Fock-
Ter and Grafton Downs. And were
we boys afraid of our teacher, and
respect him or her? Well, | guess.
Those days some big, grown-up
young men would attend school for
at least several months through
the dead of the winter, working
on the farm as long as there was
need of them in the Fall and then

they get their first chance at it.
Meanwhile, the punching power
of the Foss family is about to in
crease voltage. Joe's younger
brother, Clifford, %, who's been
tending the farm since Joe's de-
parture, is going to join the air
fighters. That'll leave their mother
Mrs. Mary Foss, and Joe's bride
they were married last August

FARMER JOE FOSS & COMPANY
TROUNCE THE JAP AIRMEN $50
Sergeant Stavsky Combat Correspondent


AS a varsity football player, he
was a bench-warmer. AS an anna
teur boxer he was strictly $3.50,
But as a Marine Corps flier, Cap
tain Joseph Jacob Foss is an ace
of aces. He and his Grumman Wild
cat have downed 26 Jap Zeros and
bombers
Captain Foss landed in the Solo
mons hotbed with seven other
members of his flight team, since
dubbed "Joe's Flying Circus" To-
gether they have So enemy planes
to their credit-and they're still
flying.
Leaves Farm To Fly
Joe Foss is 27 His wind-burned
sun-tanned face and manner of
speaking identify him as farmer.
That's what he was back at Sioux
Falls. S. D., before he traded his
plowshare for a Wildcat
Joe's nose is broken, was broken
eight different times-by a boxing
opponents fist, a kicking horse,
and kicking jitterbug, quarter
backs knee and by a slamming
barn door. Perhaps that's why he
has the uncanny faculty of smell
ing out-and snuffing out-Japa-
nese airmen. At least that's one
theory broached by his aerial COM
rades.
Other pilots explain that Joe
Foss is a natural" Not a flying
fool, but an instructive sky fighter
who knows precisely what he's do

10000 feet, where the boys get but
one guess.

1t took Captain Joe Foss six
years to acquire his B. S. degree
at the University of South Dakota,
for he had to take time out to
earn the necessary tuition. He Ia
bored at packing plant, attended
filling station, worked on a farm
as hired hand, assisted a butcher,
waited on tables and washed dish.

Joe knew what he wanted. Farm
born, he'd always had a hankering
for the air Upon graduation in
June of 40, he joined the Marines.
At Pensacola, Fla, he won his
wings and stayed there as an in
structor He then went to North
Island and Camp Kearney for
fighter training There he banded
together with the seven who were

down in another Zero
October 15-Business picked up.
The Japs swarmed in at 29,500
feet. Joe promptly knocked off a
fighter and headed for bigger game

lads took care of that one. Joe tried
another and had the pleasure of
seeing it streak off smoking. But

float planes came in looking for
trouble. They got it. Joe pasted

Lands In Pacific
His motor crippled, Joe attempt
ed to beat it back to the field. The
motor gave out and he made a
water-landing off Malaita. The
Wildcat sank quickly and Joe
floated around. Canoes came out
looking for him, but fearing the
paddlers were Japanese, Joe kept
quiet. This game of hide and seek
continued for two hours. 1t ended
when someone shouted: "'E's over
ere" There was no mistaking the
Cockney accent of Tommy Mason,
sawmill operator.
November 12-Back in action,
and back in the groove. Days

Wingo Faces $500
Fine for VIOLATING
Agent Act
Former Public Relations
Counsel Offers No
Defense to Charges

Otis T. Wingo, jr., 81. former
Washington public relations counsel
accused of willful failure to register
as foreign agent in connection
with work for the Finnish and
Swedish governments, today entered
a plea of nolo contendere (no con-
tesD to the charges before Justice
James w. Morris in District Court.
After the court had accepted the
plea, Roy c. Frank, special assistant
to the Attorney General, recon-
mended a fine of $780, covering all
four counts of an indictment re-
turned April 5.
jeff Busby, counsel for Mr.. Wingo,
said he would accept the recon-
mendation. Justice Morris post
poned the imposition of sentence
until later this afternoon pending
further conference with attorneys.
There is no contention by the
Government" Mr.. Busby said, that
the defendant has been disloyal to
the United States"
In concurring with Mr.. Busby,
Mr.. Frank said:
Mr.. Wingo is not a dangerous
man by any means and has done
nothing to undermine the United
States. but he has failed to obey a
law. Since no harm has been done
