Young Boy Does Part
In 6th War Loan
Twelve-year-old Dick Winters
has done more than his part in
this 6th War Loan drive, because
a few days ago, Dick called on
his neighbor, Oscar Lovenborg,
and with no help or advice from
anyone, sold him a $1000 war
bond.
Lovenborg is a lumber piler
ol Big Lakes Box company,
where he has been employed for
20 years. So for this year, he
has put $2700 of cold, hard cash
into war bonds, part of which he
used to purchase three $1000
bonds. In addition, Lovenborg
has had two $25 bonds taken out
of his check on the payroll de
duction program.

Russian town of Penza, between
Moscow and Kuibyshev,, where
they were given a "dacha," or
country house.- The U. S. mili
tary attache, Col. Joseph - A.
Michcla, and Second Secretary
of Embassy Edward Page were
permitted to visit them.
When the Get-man advance to
Stalingrad, that summer threat
ened central Russia, 'the fliers
were moved east to Ohansk, on
the Kama river near Molotov,
where they were given a large
house. . .
Adm. Standlev visited them
September 12, - 1942, inspected
their quarters and took them for
a boat excursion on the Kama,
complete with caterers, musi
cians and an English-speaking
hostess.
Freedom of Town
The fliers had comfortable
rooms, plenty of food, 1 servants
and an interpreter-guard who
taught them Russian. They had
me ireeaom of tne river-port
town, went swimmine and were
promised hunting in the fall.
But they were chafing at their
inactivity. They could talk free
ly, because all. Russians left the
room while Adm. Standley lis
tened to them; and they said
they wanted to get back into action.
That winter thev weri . trans.
ferred to Ashkhabad where, as
the Russians, put it, they would
be warmer and could be "use
fully employed." . Ashkhabad is
on the SovieHranian . border,
just east of the Caspian sea.
One day they drove to the bor
der in a truck to the Iranian city
or raesnea, ana never returned.
Soviet officials never drew
the attention -of the United
States embassy- to the "escape,"
and -the- Americans- Tiever"men
tioned it to the Russians.
