Our Men and

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

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!" It seems the big bombers
always had such excellent es
corts that the "Jerries were
scared away."
Exciting Introduction
Culver's first mission, over
St. Nazaire, France, ended in a
forced landing in an English
field when the ship ran out of
gasoline, this incident provid

. 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.

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

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

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.
