w. D. MOrey of Kelly Field, Texas.
The five men-navigator, mechanic,
pilot, bombardier and gunner-train,
fly and fight as one.
Inside, around warm, pot-bellied
stove, there is Ramon Western, a
crew chief from Alvord, Texas.
And next to him there is a young
mechanic by the name of Tommy
Busselle, Houston youth who used
to play saxophone in hometown
orchestra. Then, to round out the
Texas trio, there is Bob Allen,
another Houstonian and an aircraft
electrician.
I wondered about that legend on
the door, and Tommy Busselle gave
me the details.
1--WE call it the 'Gangsters' Roost'
because that explains how some of
us ground crew chiefs get our equip
ment." (This with wide grin play

that he is three-fourths Indian (Semi-

adds, grinning: 1.-THE other Is per

Walt Cor "Chief," as he's known
at this field) is one of the crack
crew chiefs in his group. His ship,
Baby Bumps" has gone out on
SO missions without turning back,
and the Chief, who is a former oil
field roustabout from Dewey, Okla
homa, is plenty proud of that record.
Walt likes to talk about such
things as the coming invasion, and
the day when he can go back to the
Oklahoma oil industry.

army, didn't II" the "Chief" blast

When the war in Europe is all
wrapped up, the Chief wants to take
his Marauder over to the South Pa
cific with Ramon Western, his crew
chief pal from Alvord, Texas) and
send it out against the little yellow
men.
Then Walt says he'll be ready to
head back to Oklahoma. Is he going
back to the oil fields? Hell, yes"
is the Chiefs reply to that one.
AS I was leaving Walt with his
second helping of steak and potatoes
that day, he told me that I should
have met the real hero of the Scott
tribe"
Hes my kid brother, Yoeman,"
Walt said. Fright now he's finishing
up aviation training back home, but

big things from him. No, he's no
lousy grease monkey like me
he's bomber pilot, de luxe"
And that's the story, as I heard
it, of the Scots personal offensive
against the Axis.
Two Mckinney Boys.
Before I left this Marauder sta
ton that afternoon, happened
across couple of aerial gunners
who made me wonder if I were
standing on Main street in Nc
Kinney, Texas.
First, there was a fighting son of
the Lone Star state by the name of
Forest (Staff Sergeant Forest c.
Board, and before had even gotten
his name, 1 was introduced to
l9-year-old Jimmy Ashley, another
staff sergeant gunner. Both of these
air force fighting men came from
Mckinney to fight their share of
this war, and because their thoughts
on this Invasion Eve" are as genu-
inc as a Texas handshake, I thought
you'd like to know them.
Forest is veteran of IS missions
over enemy territory, and he's
daddy" of the Mckinney duo, at
the age of 33. Back home, he was a
travelling salesman for a bill-fold
company, with a territory that
stretched across Missouri, Arkan-
sas, western Tennessee, Louisiana
and Mississippi.
Then came the Fourth of July,
1912. The Mckinney flier says it was
nothing more than coincidence
that he enlisted on such patriotic
occasion but when you talk to him
you get the idea that it shouldn't
have happened any other way.
Lets get the job over WITH"
the likable Texan told me, because
Pm anxious to get back on my old
job. Heck, I've still got my sample
case and a list of my old Gus
TONER'S"
And there you have the real story
of how these fighting sons of Ameri-
cas- great Southwest are meeting
the great challenge. There's CLEAN
in their clear, strengthening eyes.
And there's determination in their
hearts. Texan and Oklahoman to-
gether, they'll be over here until it's
time to make the welcome trek back
home.

Turning a belt is easy if you
insert a tape a little longer than
the belt between the two strips of
material. Stitch the tape at one
end at the same time the end of
the belt is closed. To turn, simply
pull the end of tape that sticks
out and the belt is right-side out
in a jiffy.
To keep moths from your knit
ting yarn, take old tobacco con-
tainers and give them a coat of
paint and use these cans thus pre-
pared as a parking spot for the
knitting yarn.
A worn anklet makes a good
cover to pull on over the old wax
applicator when it needs freshen-
ing. Wrap the applicator first with
soft cloths, then the sock is pulled
on and it's ready for service.
Darn the worn carpet. Literally,
of course, and with a rug wool
carefully matched in color. This
will take away much of the
shabby appearance.
Prolong the life of rubber foot
wear by keeping it away from
light, heat, grease and cleaning
fluid. Heat weakens and cracks
rubber, and makes it sticky.
Sunlight has two rubber enc
mies-heat and light. Oil, grease
and tar make rubber swell and
get weak, and cleaning fluid
also weakens it.

the brain child of a sergeant from
New Jersey who doesn't know how
to spell Texans These foreigners
hand us lot of laughs" he told me.
Ramon Western is a Texan with
a clear-cut idea of what he's going
to do to help win this war.
A crew chief, he sent one bomber,
"Damita," on 40 missions to Hitler's
tottering European fortress. Then,
when the trim Marauder went down
one day, Ramon took up the fight
with successor, "Damita H." He
has been in England since June,
1913, and he'd be as happy as a
bomber mechanic knee-deep in
grease if the invasion started tomor-
row morning.
Before the war, Ramon worked
his way through three years of
school - at John Tarleton Junior
college, at Stephensville, and Texas
A. 6, M. college. He lacks only a
few hours credit for a degree in
agriculture, and when he gets back
to Texas he wants to go back for
that sheep-skin. Only this time he
won't have to work his way, because
he's bought pile of War Savings
bonds for that education.
Wants to Go 'Jap-Hunting.'
And when the war in Europe is
won, Ramon says he'd like to take
his Marauder always crew chief
calls the ship he works on 'his
ship") to the South Pacific and send
it out "Jap-hunting."
The two Houston youths in that
Nissen hut told me that those senti-
ments were theirs, in spades
Bob Allen, for example.
Bob is an electrician for several
ground crews at this field, and he
doesn't kid himself about his sum-
mer sleeping schedule. "These sum-
mer nights in England don't start
till midnight which means
we'll darned near work the clock
around, l guess. But I'll just put
off the shut-eye until I get back
home.'
And when he gets back, he says
he'll probably finish this education
at the University of Texas. Then he
wants to take up where he left off as
field salesman for a heating sys.
tenn firm in Houston.

tiers at this station is Walter Scott,

Eager to Finish Job

The tender beauty of an Eng
lish spring surrounds this Amer
lean medium bomber station,

U. S. A. are too busy with their
big job to notice it. Most of these
fellows come from the South

from the cattle ranches and oil

at Marauder bomber station in
rural England. heard them re-live
past experiences in the skies over
Europe . . spin their dreams of
victory and plan for a peaceful
future back in their home towns in

And I saw a look of determination
on the faces of these men that made
me glad I wouldn't be one of the
enemy when these Yanks from
Texas and Oklahoma take their
bombers to the Nazis' invasion front
yard.

back in 1941, after making friends
with countless citizens of Tyler from

land and Belgium to his credit. And
he wears the coveted Distinguished

ALASKA HIGHWAY
FLIGHT STRIPS
PROVE VALUABLE
Use Under Emergency Con-
ditions Already Paid
for Construction

HEADQ UART Frs, NORTH
WEST SERVICE COMMAND. ED
MONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA
The eight flight strips which were
completed early last winter along
the route of the Alaska Highway
from Ed m onton to Fairbanks,
Alaska, already have more than
paid for themselves in the number
of planes which have utilized the
strips under emergency conditions,
it is annuonced by Brigadier Cen
eral hudson d. Worsham, Com
manding General of the Northwest
Service Command.
The saving in human lives from
the availability of the flight strips
is incalculable and could not be
counted as a part of the cost or
saving of the flight strips in any
event, he said.
Some types of aircraft do CON
tact flying" Din direct contact with
the ground) using the Alaska High
way as a guide.
In other cases planes also use this
method of guidance in flying when
their instruments have failed to
function properly or when bad
storms have forced them off the
normal radio beams.
The Northwest Staging Route,
which these strips complement, is
under the jurisdiction and opera
ton of the Canadian Royal Air
Force.
These eight strips, located at
strategic points in the wilderness
of Northwest Canada and Alaska
along the 2,000-mile airway. were
completed by contractors working
for the Northwest Service Command
in less than six months at a cost of
So, 1863, 900. Fewer than 500 civilian
workers were employed
Many Problems
Construction of these strips pre-
sented problems similar to those
faced by the pioneer constructors
of the Alaska Highway and the
Canol project.
Preliminary aerial reconnaissance
for the location of the strips was
accomplished by 1t. Col H. P. Little
of the U. S. Army Air Forces, and
H. j. Corey, of Metcalfe- Hamilton
Kansas City Bridge Companies
which had been awarded the con-
tract of construction.
