halls from Bayport, N. Y,
should have been dead long
ago.
- The fact that he isn't has
brought him the reputation
Of being the wars luckiest
guy. Ever since he took
over as a rear turret gun
ner on a bomber he has led
a super-charmed life.
Take, for example, that
time not so long ago when
Sergeant Dicquardo fell out
of his ball turret. Airmen
are still talking about how
the terrific propeller wash
blew him back in again.
And then there are his
crashes. Four times he has
been in planes that have
smashed up. And in every
instance, he has wal ked
away unScratched.
On four different occa.
sions he has had his oxygen
supply cut off while in
flight - and each time he
has successfully been re.
vived after passing out.
Once he had to bail out
over England - and para
chuted to safety, unframed.

~INCE 1889 more than
10000 Argentinians
- have sent letters-with-
out so much as writing a
single line. A novel postal
service, operating in Buenos
Aires. and other large cities
in the Argentine, enables
people to send messages via
recordings. The system has
been so simplified that II is
almost as easy to mail ones
voice as a letter.
Most of the users of the
service-known as Fono-
postal for domestic use and
FonopoSt for international
use-employ il for Senti-
mental reasons, but many
business men and statesmen
have found it an excellent
way of putting over a deal
with that personal touch.
To send a voice-letter all
one has to do is stop in at
the post office. There special
Fonopostal booths are avail
able. These are equipped
with sound recording appa-
ratuS. An attendant is on
hand to explain how to
make a disc.
If you don't want to
bother to go to the post
office, all you have to do is
phone, and a truck fitted
with portable recording ma
chimes will come to your
home, or place of business.
