Mai. Butch Morgan-who the news
papers used to say was the only
Yankee on General Chennault's staff
"Wonder how he got there?"-
was leaning over the lead bomb
sight and directing the bombing.
This objective was to burn the docks
Of Haiphong on the coast Of Indo-
China.
The small bomber force of six
Boss went in with only three P-40's
for escort. Maj. Ed Rector led the
fighters, with Lieutenant Marks on
one wing and Pat Daniels on the
other. Just to make the bomb load
against the Japs heavier, the fight
ers carried a Acknowledgment
bomb on each ship. With these they
dive-bombed the docks after the
bombers had blasted them and set
them on fire. Here the attack was
entirely successful; the fighter boys
came back and said it was the best
bombing that they had ever seen.
The bomb train had covered the
Haiphong wharves from one end to
the other, and when the ships went
back to their forward field to refuel
and return to base, the smoke was
covering the town. Rector led his
three fighters down in strafing at
tack over the wharf fires and kept
the fire-fighters from working.
We were brought back now from
the Kweilin-Hengyang front to watch
the situation in Burma and to harass
the Jap to the South in Indo-C China.
Our situation was peculiar in China
I'VE were just about surrounded by
the Japanese on all sides except to
the North, toward Russia, and that
was so far and over such noun
tains that it seemed not to matter.
To our backs was Burma, filed with
Japs. To the South was Indo- China
and Thailand, and out to the front
and Northeast were Japanese.
Where in hell could you find worse
situation?
But we got to fight all the time;
we never had to sit on the de-
fensive and worry. We liked it and
there was never a word Of COM

Nails Were Precious in
Pre-Revolution Period

In pre-Revolution days nails
we're so precious in Scotland and in
New England that they were used
as money. Jeremiah Wilkinson Of
Cumberland, r. l., was the
first man in America to manufac-
lure nails; he began his business
In 1777.
It is only since 1910 that ma
chinery has been employed to any
extent in the manufacture of nails.
Previous to that date they were
made by hand by forging on an
anvil. Vast numbers of men were
employed in the industry; there
were at one time as many as
$4,000 nailers in the neighbor-
hood Of Birmingham alone.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBER. The girl
on our cover, Marie Bennett Merrill.
is a mountain climber. Mountain
climbing is something Marie just dis
covered a few months ago. Now, as
anyone can see, it's one of her favor
ite sports. She has been fond of sports
ever since pint-size days. When she
was six years of age she was splash
ing enthusiastically as midget SWIM
mer.
Besides swimming, Marie's hobby
roster has included hiking, ice skat-
ing, skiing, tennis and now - noun
tain climbing. It's especially convent
ent for her, since her home, Seattle,
Wash, is smack in the middle of the
beautiful and rugged peaks of the
Pacific Northwest.
America is country of mountains
as well as plains. Mount Rainier in
Marie's Washington scrapes the skies
at over 14,OOO feet. California's
Mount Whitney comes close to Is, 600.
But all the good mountaineering isn't
in the West. The first organization
of mountain climbers in this country
was the Appalachian Mountain Club
of Boston, Mass. - founded in 1876
and still going strong.
PEAKS TO FIT. There are U. S.

BACK-TALK. One obvious sign of
reconversion is the customer speaking
up again. A friend of ours saw an
eager young salesman approach a
customer who was looking at some
rugs May I help you?" he asked.
The woman glared. What makes you
think I'd like to be helped, young
man." He remained polite. The fact
that you're looking, madam"
The customer stared coldly: I'm
looking at you" she said, but don't
want to buy you"
DOUBLE-TALK. Don't be too sur
prised if your Air Forces friends come
back with talk like this: so he drives

it as needed What hope is that you can
save the privilege of free-will giving"
That was all. and yet the room suddenly
came alive. Instead of the usual per-
functory applause when the man sat
down. there were several moments of
silence. The others, like myself, had really
been listening, and needed to let their
minds dwell on what they had heard be-
fore remembering to make the polite ges-
ture of clapping hands together

Yet, somehow, it seemed new We had

Forgetting that giving is not an obligation.
but privilege. Forgetting what it does
for the man who gives because he wants to.
And 50 the organization was launched.
1t will be big help to the institutions
which it plans to support. But the greater
service it will render has now been plainly
written into its charter:
Its motivation is patriotic, and reli-
gious, moral and spiritual, rather than
primarily financial. Money is sought not
chiefly for the sake of the treasures of
needy and worthy benehciaries or to pro-
vide medicine and food for the sick and the
starving but for the sake of the giver who
needs the spiritual enrichment of giving"
