ana Impoverished families. The
forest service. is supposed to be a
forest service not a park service.
What do you think of this?
We are told that optimism is char
acteristically American, and that il
has been an important factor in
making the United States the great
est world power of today.
One frequent expression of opti-
mism is that the new growth in our
forests is gradually overtaking the
drain on them, from cutting and
fire, and that given time will ex-
coed the drain and all will be we'll
1t is pointed out that the trend is
already SO far advanced that only
a small gap remains to be filled
Since decay offsets new growth in
virgin forests, the obvious place to
look for increased growth is in the
hundreds of millions of acres OF
Eastern young or second growth
forests. And If growth 10 still on the
up, as it undoubtedly was for sew
eral decades, this should be reflect
ed in large volumes of saWtimber
and cordWood.
This gives especial significance
to the recent report of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association on the for
ests of Michigan. now almost en-
tirely second growth.
The drain on saWtimber during
the last decade has exceeded new
growth by more than 312 to one,
and the volume has been reduced
by nearly 4 billion board feet. The
volume of cordwood has fallen off
by more than II million cords. De-
spite optimism and the greatest pub
lie and private effort yet made, the
trend Of growth to drain seems to
have gone into reverse, and that
just as the young forest was reach
ing disable size. Michigan's second
growth forests seem to be going
down hill rather than up.
Even at the risk of being charged
with pessimism, one might ask
whether the same thing has not
been happening to the rest of the
critically important Eastern second
growth forests.
The American people face a
choice between two different brands
of forest optimism. One would bank
on the free play Of economic forces
that have wrecked our forests in
the past, plus continuation of
present efforts that have proven
unable to save them. The other
would demand all additional mea-
sures needed, such as public regula-
ton; the optimism of Oliver Crom-
we'll who told his soldiers to pray
to God to keep their powder dry
divers brand won his battles.

But I had seen enough. Even
though this bridge was being built OF
bamboo, they were making 1t very
strong, for the abutments were OF
heavier lumber and of stone. The
Japanese were evidently planning to
transport trucks, tanks, or some 9TH
er heavier equipment North. went
right back to Dinjan and had Ser
geant Bonner strap on a nice 5UO-
pound bomb with a delayed action
fuse. At any rate the armament
men told him it was ten-second
delay fuse. This type of target
had to be hit exactly, and If | were
to glide in for a dead shot I'd
surely get shot down by all the anti
aircraft. So made up my mind
long before / got there to turn it
loose just as low as I could fly. Even
if I missed the bridge by only fifty
yards, which is close for dive-bomb-
ing in ships not made for that type
of work, I'd knock a lot of leaves
off the trees, make big noise, and
maybe kill some gunners. But the
abutments of the bridge had to be
hit just about dead center if ! was to
make the Japs stop work.
I came in to the target from the
West, with the sun right at my
back. I flew so low that | was
afraid the little windmill on the
nose of the bomb would get knocked
off by the bushes. And then, as
saw the bridge, let the bomb go.
All hell broke loose.
When / got back home | looked at
"Old Exterminator" and | couldn't
see why it hadn't spun in right there
over the Numzup. There were holes
as big as footballs in the fabric
fiippers and in the metal stabilizers
of the tail section. There was hole
in the fuselage and fve holes in
the wing. But I guess the hill just
East of the target had saved me.
You see, the bomb hadn't waited
ten seconds to go off-which would
have given me just that long to get
out of the way of the explosion. II
had gone off almost Immediately
and as result I'd been just about
blown out Of the sky. The one-tenth
second of grace, with me travelling
at some three hundred miles ar
hour, had let me go only about fifty
feet across the target, but even that
had been enough to permit small
knoll to shield me from the main
explosion.
When | could get my breath again
asked Sergeant Bonner to find out
from the armament men what ir
hell was the matter with the bomb
He brought them back with him
and the ordnance expert told me thai
he hadn't said ten-seconds delay but
one-tenth second delay. Just one
hundred times less delay than I hac
expected! But 'Old Exterminator
lived through it, and as soon as
they'd patched the holes went back
over the bridge. We'd blown the
abutnents, all the timber, and al
the Japs from off the N'umzup. A
five-hundred-pound bomb with either
a ten-second delay fuse or tenth
second delay fuse will discourage
even the most persistent people.

exchanged with those of my old
fighter. For morale purposes alone,
we had to have that ship in the
23rd Group. All this change involved
was stencilling operation to put
4l-1456 on the ship that / had flown
from China, and another to put on
"Old Exterminator" the serial num-
Der of the fighter that I was leaving
in India
So, early the next morning, July
3, 1912, "me and the old Kittyhawk"
wended our happy way across the
hills and jungles of Burma to Kun
ming and more adventures together.
From that moment, we left the Air
Corps number 41-1456 on that in
significant ship in India, and for all
practical purposes the old PACE
that l had used for sixty-three days
over Burma became another num-
Der, but it would always be "Old
Exterminator" to me. In those two
months we'd flown together 371 hours
over enemy territory and we were
more than friends. That is some
what over eighty thousand miles,
and in combat that's a long, long
way.
Everything has happened fast in
this war, and the organization of the
23rd Fighter Group was no excep-
ton. There was no holiday, even if
it was activated on the Fourth of
July. There was no time for cele-
bration. Radio Tokyo started right
off with a bang, and we definitely
knew hard work was ahead. On
the night of July 3, Radio Tokyo
the one program we could ever
hear in China-warned the new
American fighter group that they
would quickly annihilate them, for it
was common knowledge that the ex-
perienced AVG personnel were leav-
ing for America. But Tokyo had
reckoned without the strategic brain
of the General, or the loyalty of
those great pilots Of the First Amer
lean Volunteer Group.
The General was expecting an at
tack on independence Day anyway.
for the Japs had always shown an
affinity for raids on our HOLIDAYS.
When the Japs arrived over Kwei-
lin, expecting to find green and in
experienced fighter pilots, they found
many American boys who for weeks
had been flying with the AVG.

A woman visiting in Bluffton last
week could hardly believe her eyes
when she saw real steaks displayed
in the refrigerator counter of local
meat market. In her home city, she
explained, steaks had been unheard
of for months, and it was hard for
her to believe that there was no
shortage of steaks here, provided one
had sufficient ration points. On re-
turning to her home she took a guam
tity of Bluffton steaks which, she
said, would be long remembered
