Because his plane apparently
appart
fell
inenemy territory, the report of
his death had to go through in­
ternational channels bv way of
Switzerland and the telegram to
his father was consequently de­
layed.
Lieu tenant Alphonse, had been
awarded the A ir Medal recently
by his commanding officers at
his base in England.
He
was graduat ed f r o m
Yreka High school in 1939 and
was student body president dur­
ing his serior year. He later at­
tended College of the Pacific at
Stockton before enlisting in the
A ir Force in February, 1942.
Lieutenant Alpsonse’s wife,
the former Gwendolyn Darby,
gave birth to a daughter, their
only child, on August 22 at O x­
nard.— Yreka Journal.

DOUBLE FEATURE
Fire in Persist Area
Controlled by Loggers Talent Man Dies at
A crew of more than 100 men, Ashland Hospital
'loggers and forest service fire-
ighters, Tuesday morning had
brought under control a fire in
the Persist area on the Umpqua
Divide, which started from a log­
ging operation Monday after­
noon and awhile threatened to
get away completely.
The Rogue office here report­
ed that a line had been thrown
around the fire, and that it w ill
remain under control unless
winds come up.
More than 125 acres were burn
ed over, the worst fire in the lo­
cal district this year.
The Persist area is between
Prospect and the head of Elk
Creek, and the smoke billowed
so high that it could be seen
from the valley floor. Travelers
coming down the Crater Lake
highway thought the whole coun
try was on fire.
