The purpose was fourfold: to test

combat, to furnish air support for

a delaying action against the Japa-
nese until the Chinese armies could
be equipped with modern sinews Of

1941, the Army, Navy, and Marine

with Central Aircraft Manufactur-

Facts and Fancies
About New Years

The little British colony on Han
son island, in the Chathams, Ala
miles southeast of Wellington, New
Zealand, will be the first to greet
1945. It is just east of the interna-
tional date line, from which all time
is reckoned.
The famous Scotch bun is made
entirely of egg and chopped fruit
enclosed in a crust for New Years
holidays.
When julius Caesar created JAN
uary instead of March the first
month, he set the present New
Years day.
The English New Year celebration
was changed from December Is by
William the Conqueror because he
was crowned on January /.
The person who first visits fam

dition holds, will be lucky during the
year.
The Hindu year begins with the
new moon Immediately preceding
the vernal equinox in March.
People in Siam celebrate New
Years on April l.
The earth will revolve about the
sun in 365.242 days to complete the
year of 1945.
A glimpse into the future was be-
lieved possible by the early Scots
who turned to their Bibles on New
Years day. The sacred book was
opened at random, and the entire
chapter read. The message was be-
lieved to describe the happiness or
misery in store for the coming year.

General ChennauIt's AVG was
composed Of three squadrOns, func-
tioning under the supreme command
of China's Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, shown above. About sew
enty pilots and three hundred
ground crew personnel made up this
organization, which for nearly four
months had been in combat against
the Japanese Air Force from Ran
COON up to Lashi0, Burma. ss
five airplanes they shot down two
hundred and eighty-six Japanese
planes, losing only eight in combat
the complaining Japanese would
have been disposed to add the re-
mainder Of the nursery rhyme,
Erich man, poor man, beggar-man,
thief"
Many times had heard Radio
Tokyo complain of the cruelty" Of
these American guerrilla pilots. Un-
der General Chennault's clever lead
ership and tactical genius they had
virtually driven the Imperial Japa-
nese Air Force from the skies of
Burma, and held the Burma Road
for months after it should have fall
len. Against odds of more than
twenty to one, they had saved
face" for America and the white
race, in this battle against much
belittled enemy.
When one considers that the AVG
fought in what the British called OBJ
solete tactical combat aircraft-the
P-40B's and P-40Cs-their deeds
and scores become truly legendary.
Throughout China today, General
Chennault's AVG are regarded as
''Saviors Of Free China Skies" The
Chinese sentry on the gate to the
"Fijichan" or airfield may shake
his head when you show him your
pass; he may not understand your
hard-won Chinese; but when you
smile and call, avg" his face
lights up in turn, and he calls,
"Ding-hao-you are number one.' /"
He holds his thumb up in the old
familiar signal, and you enter. Then,
to show his high regard for Ameri-
cans and his vivid memory of Cen
eral Chennault's Flying Tigers, he
calls after you, "A-V-G mean Ameri-
can Very Good-ding-hao, ding
hao."
We caught up with three more of
our thirteen bombers at Kano, and
all our crew had begun to feel con-
fident that we could not be called
back from the mission against To-
kyo. To insure this to a greater de-
gree, we were trying hard, without
appearing to be too anxious, to be
the first to reach our initial point
Karachi, India. So long as we
were the first Of the B-17's, we
could claim a moral victory. For
after all, Colonel Haynes was boss.
and in q ship with longer range
than the Fortress, and we wanted
him ahead.
With full service aboard, and, the
temperature hot and sitting, even
after nightfal, we threaded our way
through the dust for the take-off. I
remember that the heavy ship used
the entire runway and some Of the
sagebrush prairie land too, for there
seemed to be no lift whatever to the
hot, dead air. Finally reaching
comfortable cruising altitude at
twelve thousand, Doug and !
breathed the old familiar sigh of re-
lief at having once again gotten a
loaded bomber in the air, and the
sigh echoed around the ship.

does not usually consider himself a
Judge maker, but he is quietly and
unofficially assuming that role in
order to get rid of the Governor of
the Virgin Islands.
The Governor is Charles Har-
wood, who has been in the hair of
many Virgin Islanders, to say moth
ing of Secretary Ickes' own sparse
locks, for several years. He is
chiefly famous in the Virgin Islands,
a community 95 percent Negro, for
introducing legislation imposing one
years Imprisonment for a minor
violation of the moral code The
bill did not pass the Virgin Islands
legislature.
Governor Harwood has complain
ed to Secretary Ickes that, when
he was appointed, he thought it
was understood he would not have
to spend too much time in the
islands. He spends considerable
time in Washington.
For some time, IcKes has hoped
to get rid of the Governor, but there
is one major difficulty. Harwood
is one of President Roosevelt's old
