Sergeant Proves Hero Of
Aviation Tragedy Probe
Launched.
Peru, Mass., Aug. 17 (AP)
Three soldiers, one ot them a
heroic sergeant who dragged
two companions to safety from
a flaming army transport plane.
today were given a better than
even chance to recover the
only survivors of a crash that
took the lives of 17 others.
All three Sergeant Robert
Lee, 23, of Columbus, O., Corp.
Alonzo Pearson of Somerset
county. Pa., and Private James
Fern of Abingdon, Va. suffered
serious burns when the big ship
plunged into Peru mountain in
this Berkshire Hills town Satur
day night while on a routine
mission out of Pope Field, Fort
Bragg, N. C.
In laconic language, the army
told this story of Sergeant Lee's
heroism:
"With his clothes completely
burned from his body, he climb
ed from the wrecked plane and

Is the dehydration and compressed packaging of beef for export to
reauc snipping space, awitt K Company. Chicago, is at work on
the goTernment's first order for the new product, according to
T. R. Reece. manager of the local branch. One ship, carrying
dehydrated beef, compressed, will do the transoort job of 10
World War I ships carrying fresh beef sides and quarters, of 3.7
ships carrying fresh beef in boneless form, or of l.S shies loaded
with the dehydrated product as ordinarily packed, without com-
ptvaaion.
succeeded In dragging two of his
fellow passengers to safety. He
carried two others from the
burning ship only to find they
were dead.
"He then walked three quar
ters of a mile to the nearest
highway and directed state po
lice back to the scene of the
wreck. He had previously signal
ed for help by firing three shots
irom nis revolver.
An investigation of the acci
dent, one of the worst in the
history of United States military
aviation, was launched, but the
army released no details on the
possible cause.
The huge plane sheared tree
tops for 100 yards as it plunged
toward a flat spot atop 2,200
foot Garnet peak on the moun
tain, then burst into flames.
kinds held at 15.00 and above; good
hnndyweight yearlings 13.00 with
nothing strictly choice offered; few
choice rat ewes up to 6.50.
WHETHER it's bringing in
a well at some sun-sizzled
field or handling a run of gas
oline in a refinery, the oil game
is rough and tough and he-man
stuff. So, when the War Pro
duction Board says women must
roll up their sleeves and release
millions of men for war, it
means a particular problem for
Standard.
Although ours is a husky
war industry, our men are con
stantly exchanging work clothes
for uniform. Often women can
not directly replace them. But
Standard is managing to intro
duce women on many jobs out
side their traditional sphere . . .
as chemists, as draughtsmen, as
wc-don't-yet-know-what-all.
In some instances, women
may be trained on the job. Per
haps more often, courses of
specialized training will be
needed -just as is true when
bank clerks and farm boys go
into the shipyards. Already
Standard is hand-in-glove with
the University of California on
' a training-for-women program.
f
Wherever they work for
Standard, women will find their
surroundings pleasant. Their
tasks will be far easier than the
ordinary home-work of their
pioneer grandmothers. And,
just as those grandmothers
made many an Indian sorry that
he ever went on the warpath,
so will today's Standardettes
help roll up the Axis by rolling
up their sleeves.

BY 5000 PEOPLE
Over 5.000 persons witnessed
the Jackron County Sheriff's
Posse's rodeo and horse show at
the fairgrounds park over the
week-end, an estimated 3,200
attending the Saturday night
program and some 2.000 being
on hand for the Sunday night
performance, the committee in
charge said today.
So great was the crowd Sat
urday night that lack of seating
accommodations forced those in
charge to turn away between
400 and 500 customers. The
thousands who saw the perform
ances were high in their praise
of the rodeo events, as well as
the horse show. Mack Barbour
of Klamath Falls furnished all
stock for the rodeo, including
bucking horses and wild Brah
ma bulls, and some of the
coast's top riders competed for
the large number of cash prizes
offered.
First prize in the calf-roping
contest Sunday night went to
Basil Brown in :20.2, with Pat
Fiske, Joe McAuliffe and Dutch
Martin following in that order.
Dutch Martin won the bull rid
ing contest, with Tom Bride and
Bill Holmes tied for second and
Mutt Dillon fourth. In the bronc
riding event, Jerry Ambler cap
tured first, followed by Jack
Sherman, Marshall Flowers, Ce
cil Bedford and Pat Fiske.
Saturday night, Cleve Kclley
won first in the calf roping in
:17.3, followed by Pat Fiske,
Basil Brown and Leonard Block.
Vic Matney and Dutch Martin
tied for first in the bull, riding
and Bill Holmes and Tom Bride
split third money.
The rodeo and horse show,
one of the most successful ever
staged here, was held in con
junction with the activation of
the 91st Infantry Division at
Camp White.
