Bend Airports
Leased By City
Bend's airports, now and old
came In for attention last night
when the city commission held Its
regular meeting in the city hall.
Both the present municipal air.
port, and the old one nine miles
north of Bend on the old Bend
Itedmond r6ad were officially
jcaseu to private individuals.
A. J. Tilse, operator at the pres
ent municipal airport, was given
a one-year lease on the field and
equipment, with an option for two
more years. Consideration was
that he continue to operate the
field and carry on maintenance.
Revenues beyond the cost of main
tenance and operation are to re
vert to the city treasury.
Airport Leaned
C. F .Samples of Redmond, ob
tained a lease on the old airport
for the purpose of farming ad
jacent to the emergency runways.
This is the first time that the old
landing field, once the hope of all
aviation-minded of Central Ore
gon will actually be put to use. The
Held, once covered wltn Junipers,
was cleared years ago by govern
ment work agencies, and was sub
sequently found unsuitable for
flying purposes. The commission
granted the lease with the proviso
that ample runways be left intact
for emergency landing purposes.
The commission also officially
accepted $14,00(1.8.1 of state gas
tax funds, for inclusion in the
city's state street lax fund. The
money, Bend's share of the state
recpipts from gasoline taxps, Is
to be used in street building and
maintenance or the purchase of
equipment to do this work.
Attending last night's meeting
were Mayor A. T. Niebergall, Com
missioners Melvin Munkres and
Loyde S. Blakley, City Manager
C. G. Relter and City Recorder
George Slmervllle.
Bend Soldier Is
Prisoner of War
Ellsworth C. Freillnger, 22, pre.
vlously reported as "missing In ac
tion," is a prisoner of war in Ger
many, it was learned here yester
day when his wife received a post
card from him dated Jan. 15.
Mrs. Freillnger, who resides at
1353 Ithaca street with their three
small children, was notified last
month by the war department
that her husband had been report
ed missing on Nov. 14. She has
not, as yet, been officially in
formed that he is a prisoner.
The postcard, received yester
day, was written in pencil In Frei-
llnger's hand - writing. It read,
This is a few more lines to let
you know that I am well. I hope
the children are all well. Tell
everyone hello for me and be sure
and write very often."
'SMALL-TOWN' GOVERNOR
Indianapolis Hl'i Ralph F.
Gates, newly-inaugurated gover

against the traffic light. Stopped
by a policewoman, the flustered
Hoosier chief executive explained
he was "from a small town where
the pedestrians were not required

Trophies of a
Happy Marriage
The Cuppers are about the hap
piest married couple In our
town. Comfortable off, too, after
Dee's fifty years of honest work.
But their two most prized pos.
sessions are an old beer mug and
an 1890 Floradora hat.
When they were first married,
I)eo allows he couldn't stand the
hat; while Jane turned her noso
up (privately) at Dec's fondnees
for a friendly glass of beer from
time to time. Bat each figured It
was the other's right ... so they
lived and let live. -- s
And as time went by, they
realized tb,at the hat and mug
had become Important symbols
In their marriage -symbols of
respect for each other's rights
and differences of opinion.
From where I sit, a lot of mar
riages would be happier if there
were more fanny-looking; bats
and old beer mags in the back
ground. Tolerance is a mighty
good foundation for living hap
pily together.

"After you have been In battle, a

of college.'
The sergeant who Intends to
go to college when peace comes,
left Bend 53 months ago with
Company I of the 41st divi
sion. He had just finished high
school and was 18 years old. Since
then he was almost "polished off"
by shrapnel from a 99 MM mortar.
That was on Biak. The shrapnel
went through his personal articles
kit, but the heavy, cast iron mess
kit he had been issued In Australia
back of his neck, stopped it., -
The first time he ever fired a
mortar was in combat. Worst of
ail he hated the enduring hell of
Jap infiltration tactics. That went
on and on. On Salamaua, most of
the fighting took place on a long,
narrow, jungle-clad ridge. At night
Japs a long way off would start
yelling, iney were not the ones to
be afraid of. They were just yell
ing to draw fire and locate the
American positions. The thing to
do was keep quiet and listen for
the Japs a few feet away trying
to encircle you and cut you off.
Sgt. Cochrane, who has the com
bat infantryman's badge and ma-
and which was strapped oft the Jor engagement stars for Sala
maua, Hollaftdia and Biak, also
has a bronze star and citation for
galantry in action. It seems that,
In 1943, a whole year before he
was awarded the star, something
happened to the supply sergeant
and the mess sergeant got sick.
Del was a corporal then and he
was asked, quite casually, to see
that the boys on the front lines
two or three miles away, were
kept in food and ammunition. This
job lasted a couple of months.
He was much too modest to say
so, but a copy of the citation re
ceived by The Bulletin last sum
mer, said, "For repeatedly, and
at the risk of his own life, carry
ing supplies under heavy enemy
fire ."
Del was sorry he couldn't brltip
home much news of Bend mn
but he left the company for a ho
pital In August and never got
back. Pic. Glenn Millard, Bend,
came over on the same transnort
