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

We take out everything that has
to be evacuated. We take army,
navy, marines and even wound
ed Jap prisoners if they are too
seriously wounded to wait for
slower transportation."
Lt. 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."

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

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.
