Fred Schere Described By Crew Members Letters from two crewmen participating in the flight over Germany in which Lt. Fred Shere Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Shere Sr., was killed over a year ago, have been received here by Deputy Marshall Paul M. Hnlin, friend of the Shere family. Mr. and Mrs. Shore for merly lived in Ashland, and then in Medford at 212 Ivy street while Mr. Shere was cm ployed at the Rogue Valley Transit bus 'terminal. They are now in Southampton, N. Y., and expect to return to the valley this fall. Both members of Lt. Shore's crew were recently released from German prison camps, and on reaching this country wrote the lieutenant's parents and his wife, in Texas, to describe de tails of the final mission. S'Sgt. Orlando H. Friescn, flight engineer, of Fairmont, Minn., states that on the morn ing of April 29 1944, the bomb er crew took off for BeTlin, and on reaching the target encouter- ed heavy flak. The plane was hit, but not seriously, umu reaching Dumer lake, 100 miles west of Berlin, on the return trin. when more flak and fight ers shot the plane out of control. Lt. Shere gave the order to pre pare to bail out, and Friesen opened the bomb bay doors to Shere and one other man while Perseid Meteors By J- Hugh Pruett (Pacific Director, American Meteor Society) "We bide afield While mcacors plow The sultry August nights." With us again is that delight ful season which brings the an nual return of the Perseid meteors. All who have watched the clear summer skies during the hours before dawn can never forget the thrill of glimpsing these fleeting bits of flame as, seemingly coming from nowhere, they suddenly flash into being and streak across the night. Unusually dependable, and varying little in numbers from year to year, this display is anti cipated with pleasure by all who study the heavens. Dr. Chas. P. Olivier .of the University of Pennsylvania, president of the American Meteor society, is ask ing for volunteers this month to, give an hour or more to count ing meteors- All honest reports are very helpful to meteoric astronomy. Some of these meteors may al ready be seen, although the greatest numbers usually appear on the nights beginning with the evenings of Aug. 11, 12 and 13. Late evening counts will then often give 20 or 30 meteors per hour. But the best displays occur during the hour or two before dawn- On the morning of maximum, observers favored with unusually good eyes, clear moonless skies, total absence of artificial illumination, and high altitudes, have glimpsed as many 85 meteors an hour in pre dawn counts. Normal conditions result In 40 to 50 an hour. Dawn will start near 4:45 a. m. war time at 35 degrees lati tude, 4:30 a. m. at 40 degrees, 4:00 a. m. at 45 degrees, and 3:30 a. m. at 50 degrees. Moon con ditions will be unusually favor able this year as only a crescent will be in the evening sky. and even this will set long before midnight. For good counts, rerlain rules must be followed- Find a dark outdoor spot where artificial lights do not interfere; seat your self comfortably in a reclining "See the First National first if you need money" ; Oregon's I tAerchant the others left the plane. Real izing that the plane was very close to the ground, Lt. Shere motioned the flight engineer to Jump just in time for his para chute to open and break his fall slightly, though he was knocked unconscious by the impact. Friescn writes that after he left the plane, it must have blown up in mid-air or Lt. Shere attempted to make a crash land ing, or if they bailed out the parachutes failed to open." He adds, "Lt. Shere kept that ship up until everyone else was out. He wasn't looking out for him self, he was looking out for nine other men, and even though he is dead, he still lives with us as a hero." Another crew member, Sgt. Joe Maloy of Montgomery, Ala., also writes that Lt. Shere gave the order to bail out when the situation became hopeless, and they all believed that his con cern over their safety caused him to remain at his post too long. "His only thought was the welfare of the men who served under him, and we were all proud of him. I know no one else would have kept the plane up as long as he did under the same circumstances." A younger brother of the lieu tenant's, Bill, is in the army air corps and expects to be in the valley on furlough in Septem- ber. Again With Us chair; and most important of all keep your eyes constantly on the sky. Although the constellations of Perseus from which these meteors seem to radiate will be in the northeast both in late evening and morning, yet one need not look in that direction. They may be seen in any part of the sky. Volunteer counters are asked to send reports to the present writer at 1832 Longview avenue, Eugene, Ore.
