Wooden Relates
War Exporter

Captain Roland Wooten, Amer
lean Air Forces, recalled from
foreign service after 300 combat
hours, to take part in the Fourth
War Loan campaign, told the XII
wants club on Wednesday some Of
his experiences in England, Africa,
Italy and on Malta and Sicily.
Captain Wooten was among the
first American aviators to reach
England, where he was given ad-
ditional training before going on
lis first raid which, incidentally,
was the Commando exploit at
Dieppe. He said it is his i'm.
preston that this raid will stand
out in the history of the war be-
cause it is not probable that the
Luftwaffe will again be able to
concentrate such great airpower on
single small target.
He was shot down in Africa, but
landed with no worse injury than
a wrenched shoulder, and was guild
ed back to his fellows by two
Arabs, commissioned for the job
by their sheik. The spill happen
ed in the late afternoon, and he
did not reach headquarters until
about $3.50 the, following morning.
During his time in England,
Captain Wooten was in the escort
81 CUP when Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill flew to Casablanca.
But this was not the only time
he flew in a Churchill party. He
was thus employed several times,
and told of the Premier's versati-
lily in addressing troops. It was
always the particular branch of
the service he was addressing that
had the Premier's blessing as
winning the war;" He also was
in escort groups for General Mar
shall, General Arnold and General
Doolittle upon their travels over
war zones.
President Donad King, who pre-
sided, reported that KiWanis mem
bers had reported sale of SAL, 1925
worth of war bonds since last
weeks meeting.
Aaron Goldberg called the club S
attention to the efforts of St. Luke
"A. M. E. Zion church to raise
funds for rebuilding and urged XII
wanians who had not already done
so to contribute. Harry Solomon
suggested that it might be ad-
vlsable for the club to make a |
donation from the treasury. MIR.
King said the matter would be
taken up at the next directors
meeting.
In addition to Captain Wooten,
F. A. Walker of Charlotte and T. |
3. Cameron, president of the
Goldsboro club, were guests at the
meeting.

Case Continued

The, case of Herman L. Blake,
So, of Burgaw, charged with statu-
tary rape of his daughter, Jane,

in Fender county Tuesday morn
ing, it was disclosed Wednesday
night by Sheriff J. T. Brown and
Solicitor Clifton Moore. The case

held without bond following his ar
rest on a charge of carnal knowl-

on the night of January 81, by
Sheriff J. T. Brown and Patrol
man W. M. Whitley. When these
officers were called to Blake's
home by his wife and his father
in-law, B. Simmons, o. Burgaw,
Blake was placed in Jail on a war
rant by his father-in-law, accord
ing to Sheriff Brown.
A thorough investigation was
made by Sheriff Brown and So
licitor Clifton Moore. Some angles
of the case are still under investi-
cation, however.
Recorders court will be sitting
in the case as committing maj
istrate and can only find probable
cause, Solicitor Moore stated. This
court has not the jurisdiction to
try the case. The offense charged
