LIT. CLARENCE DOAN
SAVES PLANE AND CREW

18TH ARMY AIR FORCE.-Lieut.
Clarence Doan of 429 Bingham Ave,
Hamilton, Ohio, bombardier with an
AAF BIT Flying Fortress group op-
Grating from an Italian base, on a
mission over Toulon, France, on April
20, 1914, is credited with saving his
plane and crew.
Through malfunction, the second
bomb failed to release, and the third
bomb, which was fully armed and
ready to explode, fell on top of it.
Lieutenant Doan crawled into the
bomb bay, and 10000 feet above the
target, released the bomb by hand. On
the bomb he released the pin had been
pulled and the fin was starting to spin.
Crewmen estimated that it would have
been a matter of minutes before the
bomb would have exploded in the
Fortress. Lieutenant Doan's hands
were frost-bitten. His only comment
was, 81 hope it hit the target"
A graduate of Camden High School,
Camden, Ohio, he took his bombardier
training at Ellington Field, Houston,
Texas, and at Midland Field, Texas.
He has completed Is combot missions
over targets in Italy, France, Ger
many, and the Balkans.
His mother, Mrs. Lauretta Helen
Doan, resides at the Hamilton address.

Part of the exterior is of stucco, while other sections are of wood with the bark left on. The roof of the main house rises steeply to a high peak. surmounted by enor- nous storks standing beside their nests.

 caused some loss of feeling in her extremitise. For this reason it was necessary for her to have the bag very hot in order for her to feel it at all. This resulted in 8 bad burn which almost cost her a foot and which kept her in a wheel chair for months.
 AGED BURN EASILY
 A hot water bag should be filled and applied with great caution. First be sure that the bag has no leaks and that the washer fits the neck closely. Never fill the bag directly from the tea-kettle or hot water faucet. It is easy to misjudge the temperature of the water in doing this. Put the water frs in picher an dtest it by dropping a little on the inner surface of the arm. It should feel good and hot, but not hot enough to burn.
 Fill the bag about one-half or two-thirds full of water. Expel the air by resting the bag on the table until the water appears at the mouth of the bottle. Screw in the stopper firmly. Turn the bag upside down to see if it leaks. Wipe the bottle dry and put it in flannel bag or wrap it in towel and pin it securely with safety pins.
 Never place an unwrapped hot water bag in a patients bed, even though you think he is responsible enough to know if the bag is too hot. Remember that aged or para lyzed patients burn very easily without being aware of it.

little while the almonds were stripped of their bloom and Michal lay sodden, stripped of her gallantry' and the joy that had hung about her as 8 curtaining bloom.
 Joel lifted her tenderly and held her limp body in his arms until she stirred. He would have removed her garments then. but she stayed him, and indeed he had naught with which to clothe her, since his own raiment was also rain soaked She sought to slip from his arms and stand upon her feet but unless his arm had been about her she had surely fallen.
 Her pallor alarmed him and when she would not nave him place a lamb at her bosom so that she might draw comfort from its warm fleece and breath he became impa- tient.
 Michal's hand had clung to him, "Joel," she said unsteadily, "Joel, thou must take me to Bethlehem. !"
 Leave the sheep! Michal can wo not take them h0meward now? Thou are wearjed end ready for thy couch"
 Home is so far," she said wearily. "Joel, take me to Bethle- hem and Flavia."
 To the inn at Bethlehem! Surely the storm had unsettled her mind Home so far? But it was nearer than Bethlehem.
 "MichaI, my darling" he said tenderly. 'Michal, thou art ill.,"
 She shivered then, clinging to him piteously. "Joel, take me to Flavia," she pleaded.
 It was foolish, he felt, to stand in the courtyard of the inn with his wife in his arms, and demand that it's Roman mistress be brought to him, yet he stood and demanded thus, for could he search for hel with Michal so helpless?
 FlaVia came to him while he pressed his face to Michal's throat, breathing his own warmth upon her,so that he was embarrassed and spoke brusquely, 'Naught would sat- isfy her but that should bring her to thee, here"
 Flavia turned from him and Joel stood uncertainty. his arms aching from their burden, his ap- prehension for Michal mounting as he looked down upon her still face Flayia looked back and beckoned to him. to follow, annoyed at his fail- ure to understand that was what she had expected, and in uneasy silence they entered the inn. Flavia led the way to her own quarters.
 AS he put Michal down upon the couch, pain swept her face and left it blank of all expression even az the storm had swept the crop from the plain. "Micha,, thou art not harmed?"
 The pain had passed and Michal looked at him with wide eyes. Stay with me, Joel" she murmured, Thy rod and thy staff :"
 The old words were torn from her lips by another scourge of pain. She let it pass and finished deter minedly, with little smile for her husband. "They comfort me-" she said.
 The shepherds arms were gentle about his wife. Thou must have a physician" he said anxiously.
 May, Joel" she answered him wearily. "Flavia-I need only my friend and my shepherd"
 Yet Flavia sent him away.

And then she goes to tell about the time she spends at a USO club or how she makes surgical dressings a week. or how many sweaters she has knitted since Pearl Harbor.
 She produces her volunteer work to convince oth- and herself that she is doing all she to help win the war.
 But she is only rationalizng. She must know that though volunteer work is important it can and should be, done by the women who are too old or too young for full-time ojbs and by women who must stay at home and take care of small children but get away afternoon or two each week, and by working girls who spend an afternoon off or 8 night or two each week at volunteer job.
 Women who aren't tied down by small children are needed as time workers who will rearrange their lives that nothing nterferes with their jobs
 They must realize that. Volunteer war work E not for them to hide behind, to as assurance
