POET'S CORNER DAY'S WORK FOR THE AIR FORCE The bomb bays aro filled tohe top for this trip; She's ready for her share of the yellow Nip. We all climb In and check our gear; , All eyes are grave with impend fear. The props are pulled through, tho engines drone, As she swings .and sways on the ramp alone. She snorts as she taxis down the short runway, For she has a bundle of hell in her big bomb bay. She thunders, roars and begins to stump, As she whirls away down the takeoff ramp. The pilot pulls back, and all is well- She's up and away with her load of hell. She sticks up her nose and be gins to climb, And we all stand by as the en gines whine. ; She steadies down the last half ! of the lap, And cuddles the load that will repay the Jap. ' The target Is near and It's I'pl ! v lot to crew;" j Let's get on the ball; you know I what to do." j Tho safeties arc off, we poor and ' glance, While they're coining up to take ! that first chance. The target is sighted. Wo swing in on course. -All nerves are tight and voices are hoarse. . r ' We know far below tho frighten ed nip Will throw all he has at our threatening ship! i The rats swing to action from tar below, The acks acks spark as they start to throw. . Up come their blossoms, tho sky is lit; Now, our bombs aro away, and we hoiK' for a hit. Tin- bombardier swells at tho ball turret's shout: "Bull's-eye, wo hit her right on tho snout!" Wo slip away from that deadly tiaK, The fighters come In as wc set our course back. Tho pilot's voice comes buck to us: ' Keep Vm out hoys, we'll get out of this muss." The co-pilot warns: "Waloh that one on the wing, lie's iiiming In with that fish- tailed swing." They loop and roll, they swing and dive, Oh God, it's nice to still be alive! Our plane its tattered and torn, it's true. Hut the main thing Is. we all fame through! The fight is over, our nerves aro gone. The navigator's singing nvor In terphone. The engines are faithful, our day's work's done. We've paid our respects to Hie Rising Sun! Sgt. Gaines N. White. Riddle.

EDWARDS An old age poem tells of a father and son lost at night in an unfamiliar country, the son rushed feverishly about in search of trails or clues. The father stood still, gazing up Into the sky. When the son remonstrated, he replied. Earth ways can only be found by looking at the stars. This ap parently was the conclusion of the ancient , seers, whose pro longed study of the heavens di rected their thoughts toward the discovery of a new source of inspiration and power for human life, "They saw the star, and they -rejoiced with exceeding great joy." Their search was a long and eager one. They were undismayed by the length of the journey or the hardships involved, Their minds were open and responsive Jo the summons of new truth. Their souls were wistful and adventurous. They may have been old in years, as we sometimes picture them, but they were young in their hearts. The childlikeness of their own natures fitted them to appreciate the Divine Child, who proved to be the culmina tion of their quest, "We three kiflgs of Orient are bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and moun tain following yonder, O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright. Guide us to thy perfect light. Amen, .
