ALLIEDJRIVIIES Feathered Warriors Deliver Important Messages, Give Data On Submarines. Moline, 111. (U,R) Homing pigeons, the unsung heroes, are playing a prominent part with their message-carrying in the war. Leslie C. Swanson of Moline, 111., author of two books and a number of magazine articles on the subject of homing or racing pigeons, has compiled a list of accomplishments of the Allies' feathered warriors which In clude such things as bringing help to fliers downed at sea or in isolated sectors, flying infor mation from occupied Europe to England and serving as a com munication link with advance forces. Pigeons are also used by dirigibles and planes to provide data on the location of sub marines when radio messages arieMbatillsfl 606 60S East Main TELEPHONE 2805 BEDFORD'S NEWEST MARKET EAST SIDE SHOPPING CENTER wont you try ivoifvxsa yffiwtfwrir,. 3 Pkgs.

Such Innovations as two way flying and night-flying birds are a product of World War II. Whereas birds in World War I could fly only one way from the point of liberation to their home loft pigeons now carry messages back and forth from two points, a hitherto un heard of operation. How it is done is a carefully guarded military secret. Despite recent exaggerated claims that pigeons are flying 300 miles an hour, Mr. Swan son reports that the speed of the average bird is 42.5 miles an hour, more or less, depend ing upon wind and weather conditions, ith a tail wind a Detroit pigeon recently set a record of 80 miles an hour. Thouiands Donated Much credit for the success of the U. S. army's pigeon serv ice is due to tne civilian fan ciers, who donated thousands of birds to the government and contributed a great number of men from then ranks to handle them. Although the government offered to purchase the birds when the pigeon service was organized, the civilians in most cases showed their patriotism by SUGAR 10 ib. 62c Use No. 30. 31 and 40 SUNSHINE KHISPY CRACKERS &Grah'msQC 2 lbs.

Mr. Swanson emphasizes that the pigeons are correctly called homing or racing pigeons and not "carrier" pigeons, a com mon error of the public and many magazine and newspaper writers in discussing this type of pigeon. According to Mr. Swanson the "carrier" pigeon is an entirely different type of bird and does not carry any thing, being a bird used largely for exhibition and fancy pur poses. The misnomer of "car rier" was probably attached to the homing pigeon because it "carries" messages. HIS HONOR OBLIGES Warrensburg, Mo. (U.P.)
