wife, Mrs Katherine Pierce.
Flying blind in terrific storm,
1t. Pierce had to take to his para
chute when fuel ran low. Landing
safely in rough New Guinea coun-
try, he discovered that he vas in
japanese territory when shots began
to land dangerously close. From the

but after lying there for 80 minutes
I got away without any more Jap
shots being fired" 1t. Pierce said
They couldn't have heard me
leave"
Finds Officers Grave.
Il walked all night and the next
day I ran across the grave of an
Aussie officer. I was dead beat, but
I kept following the trail. Then
there was a shot and I hit the
ground. I nearly strained my eyes
searching the jungle until I saw a
green Aussie suit.
Il yelled, Hey, LIN a Yank' An
Aussie voice replied, 'Yeh, I heard
that before The Aussie took some
persuading, but at last he let me
stand up with my hands over my
head. He told me, You're dead
lucky, Yank, I meant to let you
have burst, but my gun was on
single shot"
1t. Pierce, who returned to active
service last week, wears the Air
Medal, Oak Leak Cluster and Dis
tinguished Flying Cross. He has
been credited with three planes shot
down and two "probables" in the

going-until tomorrow.
Here is what she learned from
Tim about teaching a baby to eat
solid food:
A baby needs many chances TO
feel cereal in his mouth before
his mother tries to get him to
take all the doctor ordered.
She should seat him comfort
ably on her lap and hold the
cereal out in fun view, bring il
to his mouth slowly and wait pa
tiently for him to open it. then
leave it quickly on the roof of
the mouth. Never sneak up on
him when he's not looking.
Talk quietly as he makes faces
and gags. At the first good swal-
low, sound happy and pleased.
Wait between tries while the
baby catches his breath and looks
around. II he turns his face away
at the next approach of cereal,
wait even longer. In other words,
take plenty of time the first few
days, allowing even one-half hour
extra IN the schedule for this feed
ing
Serve cereal Of the same thick
ness every day. and keep it luke
warm for the whole feeding.
Babies who struggle and cry
over their first few mouthfuls
should not be allowed TO get into
this habit II baby's face turns
red at the very sight Of food, stop
serving il for a day or so. then
start carefully from the beginning
again.
Never play a game TO see how
much cereal you can get down
him. nor how fast. Quantity and
speed are not important. The
great point now is teaching him
to like 10 eat solid food.
