Our Men and Nation's PLANE HITS ILL Staff Sergeant Alfred B. Cul ver, Jr., of Ashland, Ore., pa tient at Dibble General Hospital, Menlo Park, Calif., feels he's lucky he escaped with nothing more serious than a man-sized "hotfoot" .when the B-17 in which he was right waist gun ner crashed into a stone wall while landing in England and was split, in half, a mass of flames. This mission, sixth for the 22-year-old Oregonian, had other wise been an ill-fated one for Culver right from the start While the ship was over Ger many, he was hit. In the left shoulder by flak. Fortunately, Culver was ly ing on the floor of the ship, with his feet toward the nase, when the plane made a belly landing and rammed into the wall. "I couldn't even feel the jar, Culver describes, adding how, when the ship bioke in two, he slid out under the wing, but not before his feet had be come "nice and warm" from the flaming wreckage. Bombardier Killed It was an unlucky maiden voyage for the Flying Fortress, a brand new ship which had been given to the crew when their regular ship had to be overhauled. The bombardier was the only member killed in the crash, although all the crew were hospitalized follow ing the accident. Culver's six missions were divided evenly three over enemy-occupied France and three over Germany. Most of the NO DELAY FOR 7ire$tone FArTOBY methah .

Wearer of the Purple Heart and the Air Medal, he admits that he isn't credited with downing any fighters principally because "there were never enough to hit!"

For Ninth Time Washington, Feb. 27 (U.R) Chairman Robert E. Hannegari of the Democratic National Committee, believes today that it will cost quite a lot of money to lick the republicans for the ninth consecutive time next year. The 1946 congressional elec tions will determine control of house and senate. All 435 house seats will be at stake and 32 one third in the senate. Democrats now have a ma jority of eight in the senate-arid 25 in the house. Next year all hands will be running without the support of presidential campaign. That will add to democratic problems. Hannegan has announced plans for a 1946 fund raising campaign which begins here and in other cities on April 13, next. PAUL BRAY EMPLOYED BY ACME HARDWARE CO. Paul D.

I . to Clauit 9 30 Saturday aftarnoon- Salvation Army Revivalists Author of that grand, globe circling hymn, "The Old Rug ged Cross," the Rev. Bennard will be here Saturday and Sun day to conduct revival services under auspices of The Salvation Army Western Territorial Com mand and under immediate sponsorship of the Medford Corps, Adjutant C. Rosnick, commanding. Assisted by his wife at all meetings, Rev. Bennard will hold services at Salvation Army hall, corner of 4th and Bartlett streets Saturday and Sunday. Commenting on the signifi cance of the visit of this great City springtime scenery: I've heard slacks condemned as an article of dress for women. These advocates of dresses for women are also apt to hold that "wom an's place is in the home." Well, the woman I can see from my window has a dress on and Is setting out bulbs. And I agree that her place definitely is "in the home" unless she changes her dress for slacks. For a woman in a dress and doing work where she has to "assume the angle" is not a modest sight. Young mothers pushing baby carts promenade .the walks. Some have their hair in pig tails. These and their white bobby socks emphasize their youth. Is it my own increasing age which makes me feel there are more girl mothers than for merly or has the war hurried our girl children into a motherhood of which they seem poorly pre pared? Always detesting the English sparrow, yet since they are the only birds frequenting the yard, I've taken to' feeding the little rascals on the porch roof just outside my window. They are a saucy, impudent breed and I might conclude they simply sit and wait for me to feed them for no sooner are the scraps of bread put out than they pounce on them with characteristic greediness. Yet these birds are something alive and willing to depend on me. Though this dependence is a poor substitute for the many species which came to leed on the porch at home, yet they are members of the bird family and GREAT NORTHERN RY. rurou dv i,rr"-" T COMMISSARY USr )8 ITEMS Chicken!

Rosnick pointed out that his most fa mous hymn had brought faith and comfort to millions of Chris tians all over the world. "The Rev. Bennard comes to us," he continued, "with a ringing chal lenge in the midst of the world's most devastating conflict. "The Rev. Bennard'a meet ings here offer a unique oppor tunity for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the Christian way of life. "The meetings are inter-denominational and a sincere wel come awaits those of every faith and creed." I'd be the poorer without them. Since this is a city of nearly a million people, one might judge there would be little space left uncared for. Yet bits of wasteland are splashed all over the city. Everywhere one finds brush-covered slopes and vine-choked gulches. To most of us I'm sure there is something pleasing and restful in this untidiness amid so much that is artificial. A Maine motorist has report ed that a bear running ahead of his automobile during the hunt ing season exhibited a speed of 19 miles sti hour.

A full-stocked Empire Builder dining' car require more than 700 different items. This mean that Great Northern must watch its ration points like a careful housewife.
