ABERDEEN, Md, Dec. Back
from the wars so long that its
original crew is probably too old
for combat, a proud old Bit
stuck its nose into extinction here
this week.
Except for the tatters of its
rubber de-icing boots Tapping
from the wings and it's empty gun
mounts, it appeared poised for a
mission other than its last one.
There was even the odor of gas
oline. flushed out of it's fuel cells
by water.
Then the blast hit.
From 100 yards away behind
a sturdy shelter, scientists set off
2,750 pounds of TINT only 120 feet
in front of the bomber's nose.

Hints and slight reminders came
of things I never knew, which
only increased my liking and
fondness for the living person I
had known.
What was this living quality
about him? What indeed was the
thread and substance of life in
him, and in others? Is that what
is called the soul or the spirit?
When he was in good health,
we were both content to know
each other only in passing, and
upon the surface, without digging
deep. Why then do I say that in
sickness, he revealed his vital
soul?
His conversations had been
thoughtful evaluation and medi-
tation on the meaning of life, ex-
pressed in his own idiom and Dor
rowed from none of the sacred
books. Never did he attempt to
persuade or coerce; neither was
he attempting to sell nor to JUS
tify. Nor did he speak with any
sense of having achieved final,
unified, completed and memorable
judgment which could never
undergo further revision and self
examination. His doubts were
many, but through them he show
ed a strong and actual faith. His
questions were sometimes tenta-
tive, as though deeper and more
searching questions might come
closer to center. The very ques-
tons themselves proved the basis
of strong convictions and strong
conclusions and strong principle.
These told of his unique person.

Under drugs and opiates, his

5[N(I( ON SECOND
 SECTION OF TREK
 BEGUN JUNE, 1949


 Paul Sincic, who began his pho- tographic trek on foot to the inter for two years ago, started on the second chapter of his trip Wednes- day when he was taken by dory from Skagway across Taiya Inlet to Burro Creek
 | His tentative route from Skagway will be westerly up Burro Creek and across Ferebee Glacier and Chilkoot River to Klukwan. From there, Sincic will cross the Chilkat and Klehini Rivers near Wells then southwesterly to cross the Tsirku River and continuing south to Gla- cier Bay. From Glacier Bay he hopes to reach Yakutat in three to five months.
 From Glacier Bay my route will be exceptionally tenuous as there are so many glaciers and high mountain peaks that I'll have to feel my way. To make it even more difficult, haven't been able to ob- tain a map of the area between Glacier Bay and Yakutat," Sincic said
 No Course Planned
 Sincic gives two reasons for not planning definite course so that a search party could attempt loca- ting him if he does no show up in three or four months. The first reason is that the terrain he is tc traverse is so mountainous and glaciated that a person cannot travel "as the crow Flies," he said His route, he noted, must be altered day by day according to the obstac- les confronting him.
 His second reason is that since his trek is photographic one, he must change his route from time to time depending upon what he considers photographic possibilities of the country he will be going through.
 Assuming Hazards
 Both reasons I have given rule out the idea of search party il

 MICS Roar Out
 Thirty red-nosed MIG-l5s roared out of Manchuria and across the Yalu river Friday morning to re- new the jet war after one-day lapse. Twenty-eight Sabre jets swooped down on them 30 miles from the Manchurian border.
 Two MICS were shot down and two damaged in the engagement fought at the comparatively low level of 10000 feet.
 Another MIG was damaged in second battle in the same area about noon.

l fail to show up after three or four months. If get into any trou- ble. I'll try to signal a plane. If that isn't possible, then no search party could locate me either. That's one of the hazards I'm willing to assume,' Sincic said. His equipment has been increased in that Sincic has added bear paw snowshoes, ice crampons, ice pick, light fur parka for the higher coun- try, and about l5 pounds of food including dehydrated vegetables, yellow corn meal and white biscuit flour. He expects to bring down game with his 30-30 carbine and a g rifle.
 Sincic said that his pack is &C., tually built around his photographic equipment. His film, a speed graph ic camera, tripod, 35mm camera, filters and other photographic equipment weigh about 30 pounds. He hopes to cover the approxi- mate 300 miles to Yakutat in three to five months.
 In the first week of June, 1949, Sincic left Juneau on his photo- graphic trek that he still hopes will take him to the upper Koyukuk River in the Endicott Mountains of the Brooks Range within the Ar tic Circle
 At that time he spent 55 days |on the trail to Comet on the north end of Berner's Bay. During the time he travelled on this first seg- ment of his trip, no contact was made with anyone until he met Lawrence Frank who was caretaker at Comet Mine number two on Ber- ner's Bay.
 After returning to Juneau from Berner's Bay. Sincic went to Skag- way and covered part of the area from Skagway back toward the bay area. He has been working in Skag- way since then.
