TRY FOR KILL
Just after a burst of flax had
put hole in one of the engines,
German fighter plane dove
from above and sprayed the
bomber with machine gun fire.
After this attack there were 16
holes in the ship between 1t.
Hearley, in the tail gun position,
and 1t. hurry, the top side gun
ncr. One of the bullets missed
cutting the control cable by just
couple of inches.
Not satisfied with his first at
tempt, the Nazi fighter pilot
made a second try, this time
from below the tail of the ship
where 1t. Hearley was sta
toned. Hearley fired until a
bullet from the enemy plane cut
his ammunition belt putting his
gun out of commission. On this
attack there was no fire from
the tail gunner of the enemy
ship so the crew to k credit for
damage to the plane.
During this time 1t. Hearley
saw one of the bombers at the
edge of the flight blow up and
60 down in flames and the plane
which had blown in low to drop
flares for lighting up the target
was hit by ground fire and
crashed. After that mission the
ship was grounded two days for
repairs and the crew went into
town for their usual latter mis-
sion" relaxation.

1t. Hearley told of trick
pulled by the Nazis designed to
break down the morale of the
Allied pilots. An exploding roc

plane blowing up when it ex-

with nuts. bolts and other small
parts.
On all his missions, 1t. Hearley

Bomber in the R.C.A.F., 1t.
Melvin Hearley is home with his

sided.
"Pretty scared" was the re-
ply from It. Hearley when ask
ed how he felt on his first
bombing mission. In fact, he
said, everyone feels the same
way, and not only on their first
one. He said he was pretty sure
that he had more than the usual
half cup Of rum which is given
to the men when they return
from a bombing trip.
On of 1t. Hearley's most
eventful flights took place the
night of Jan. 6, 1945 over the
marshalling yards at Hannah,
Germany, near the Rhine. A
flight of 700 bombers and fight
o. planes left the base at 5 pm.
AMI started across the Channel.
After reaching the French coast,
they encountered light flax and
as they came near the target the
flax and enemy fighter resist
ance became heavier. 1t. Hear

heavy flax for about Is minutes
which seemed more like is
hours.

leaving the base," Hearley said.

William c. Harper, Macomb
county drain commissioner, who
has somewhat amazing capaci-
ties for both ingenuity and per-
severance today found himself
enriched to the tune of $1,000
annually as result of his deep
faith in the adage IF at first
you don't succeed try, try
again."
FAIR WARNING
Six weeks ago Harper gave
fair warning to the Macomb
count Board of Supervisors
(whose members had rejected
his plea for raise) that he was
going to attempt to get on the
payroll, of the newly created
South Macomb Sanitary drain
age district. A year ago he had
lost an earlier effort to persuade
the voters of Roseville to boost
his stipend as president of that
munie ipality.
This week Harper's persist
ence paid-off.
NAMED MANAGER
On Monday members of the
Sanitary Districts board voted
Harper a salary of $1,000 stimuli
taneously with their designation
of him as manager of the dis
trict.
Thus the versatile drain COM
missioner who, in addition to
his new drainage district duties,
will continue to serve as presi-
dent of the village of Roseville,
finds himself with a total in
come o. $4,000.
Here's the breakdown: Drain

District manager-$1, 200; and
Village President-$60.
Members of the Board which
unanimously approved the Har-
per appointment (and salary

Montana went "over the top"
in the Victory loan drive, to be-
come the second state in the
nation to reach its quota. Big
Horn county, which reached 100
per cent last week, now ranks
9th in this state.
According to j. j. Ping, the
county War Finance chairman
buyers in Big Horn county have
purchased ia per cent of quota
in E bonds and 1873 per cent of
quota in all individual bonds.
The county is also above quota
in total sales.
The drive closes Dec. 8, and
everyone is urged to buy bonds
before that date If they are
planning to do so. It is hoped
that Big Horn county will reach
$50 per cent of quota before

This appeal for funds is

many other appeals. The work
OF the association is well known
and many cases of tuberculosis
have been discovered early

has been awarded the Bronze
Star for his part in action on
Peleiu, Palau islands on Sept.

Pfc. Aman was a member of
an amphibian tractor battalion
attached to a Marine division
on the islands at the time. The
citation reads in part:
Private First Glass Aman
volunteered as one of a detail
whose mission was to destroy
five of the enemy seen on a
nelghboring reef. Arriving at
the reef the enemy force was
discovered to number approx
mately 125 and when 80 of
these had been killed it became
necessary to return and re-
plenish the supply of ammunl-
ton. Returning Immediately to
the reef, he disembarked from
the amphibian traitor and with
utter disregard for his own
personal safety, aided in killing
approximately 100 of the en-
envy. His bravery and indomit-
able fighting spirit were in
keeping with the highest trad
itionS of the United States
