i First Flight Nurse From Southwest Pacific Home With Injury, 3 Citations.. San Francisco, Aug. 4 (U.R) Kathleen R. Dial, 26-year-old army nurse, who is the only living flying nurse from the southwest Pacific war zone to wear the Purple Heart plus the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal, is "no glamor girl," she insisted today. Lt. Dial, who hails from Flor ence, Ala., is the first flight nurse from the southwest Paci fic war zone to come home. It took a plane crash off Port Moresby, New Guinea, after 17 months and 700 hours flying time to start her on her way.' Shoulder In Cast Her right shoulder in a cast from the accident, which she said "completely cured" seven of the 18 mental patients on the plane, Lt. Dial said she expect ed to be discharged from the army after six months hospitali zation at Foster General hospi tal, Jackson, Miss. "The flying nurse Is no glam or girl," she said, "despite our uniforms. When we are working we wear flying coveralls, boots and leather jackets. Our dress uniforms are attractive, but I never had one on from the time I left the states until I returned. We wore slacks 24 hours a day." A member of the first squad ron of specially-trained flight nurses to be sent to the south west Pacific, Lt. Dial said at first the flight nurses "weren't allowed in the combat zones." "But now," she added, "we go War Worker Continues Painful Burping (Acme TelephotoJ Suggested hiccup cures ranging from a lethal medieval cocktail to a walk In the moonlight au naturale continue to pour In Los Angeles hospital where war worker Lawrence Schone -(above) goes Into his third week ol painful burping.

Dial met and married an other lieutenant Henry G. Coile, also of Florence, Ala. in the southwest Pacific. He was the first pilot she flew with, she said, but she "never heard of him till we met down there." Her sister is an army nurse at the hospital where she will be a patient. Her two brothers also are in the army. One is a medi cal technician in Italy. "The Aussies," she said, "gave us even less trouble than our own boys. They surely are good fighters. They don't know what fear is." PARTS and SERVICE for all Makes of WASHERS and REFRIGERATORS YOUNGER'S APPLIANCE SERVICE CO. 31 N.

REVEAL HISTORY PITTSBURGH, PA. Court Volumes Dating From 1762 to 1801 Disclose Interesting Facts. By Robert B. Squires United Press Correspondent Pittsburgh (U.R) This city's history and much of its child hood can be found in six old court volumes recently discov ered in a dusty alcove in the clerk of county courts office. Dating from 1762 to 1801, these weatherbeaten and yel lowed volumes list accurately the doings and "carryings-on" of pioneer Pittsburghers and the origination of many present-day street names. For example, in 1764, John Washington, reputedly a cousin to our first president, was fined five pounds for assault and bat tery. Other persons of that day In cluded Jacob Ncgley, from whom Negley Ave. received its name; Edward St. Clair, original owner of all the land that is now St. Clair Township; John Ken nedy, original landowner of Kennedy Township; James Bed ford, where Bedford Ave. de rived its title, and Peter Wood, part of the Wood family that owned all the land now facing Wood St. in Wilkinsburg. Also Jeremiah Wilkins, founder of Wilkinsburg and Wilkins Town ship, the Snow-den, Mifflin, and other families. Growth of the City Not until the opening of the second book is the growth of the city plainly visible. In it is a proposal carried out later in another part to extend Fifth Ave. from the Quarry (now Soho) to Grant Hill (now the Court House), and to the Market Place, which then was at the foot of Wood Run (now Wood St.) This book also records the proposal for grading and widen ing of a "cow-path" at the foot of Fifth Ave. at Wood Run to Fort Duquesne, the present-day Block-house. Pittsburgh was taking shape. But not without its wrangles, court scenes and political squab bles. S'rangely enough, not a few women "faced" the judge. A 'HIGHLIGHTS ON T?

Department Store PAY LESS AND DRESS BETTER f Grace Haverhill, 1765 version of Gypsy Rose Lee, was fined for "lifting her skirt in public be yond the line of decency." The finely written Spencerian hand did not explain the court's opin ion of what termed the "line." Amanda Sohmers was fined for "acting unladylike in the Mar ket place. The third book lists quite clearly the pound sterling can cellation for our present mone tary unit ... a subtle way of saying we won the Revolution ary war. Curfew at Eight "Rough-houses" are found throughout the fourth book, to gether with appointments of patrols and curfew police to "quieten the dangers of street brawls, break up chicken thieves," and "clear the streets at curfew hour" which, in that day was 8 p.m. Many of our forefathers paid $2, $5, and even $10 for "traipsing" after curfew. Number four and five are filled with fines and sentences for "smuggling sheep" and "traf ficking in unpaid-for goods." Odd names, none to be found in our present-day directories, graced many pages. Some are Hunnery, Oom, Gunney, Bak bighter, Sawd, Sewn, Meddle, Lambkin, H o b e r, Kingsmen K 1 n g s 1 a w, Ladyslipper, and Jogg. The sixth book is incomplete, but it records the fact that it was against the law for a man to "unduly aggravate" his wife, and for the wife to "unduly nag" her husband. A Sarah Longhorn was ducked In the river for "prolonged" nagging, but there is no reference as to the cure. SOCIALIIE HELD IN OF CHAPLAIN REESE LEAVES TUESDAY Major C. H.
