I fi vfpa| fishing. They had a wonder-
C fill' guide, as Mr. Holden had
*■ covered all the territory before.
They arrived at the “Auger Hole”
on the ^oxaway River at 3:30 p. m.
They fished until about 6:30 p.
m., and then ate a good supper
of pork and beans, Vienna sausages
and saltines.
They decided to start home
about 7 p. m. As the guide figured
they were quite a way from the
car, Bob volunteered to get the
car, while Holden was to lead the
other two to the road. After they
walked about an hour over one
mountain, and up another, it was
beginning to get dark. They were
so tired, that the moon, casting
its lovely beams over the moun
tains and through the treetops,
failed to stir any emotion in them.
After about another hour of walk
ing and climbing over fallen tree-
tops and up rock cliffs, Clyde said
that unless Baker and Kay stayed
in the path, he wouldn’t be re
sponsible for them. Kay spoke up
and said, “What path?” They were
just about given out, but were
afraid to stop, as they had heard
tales about snakes being in “them
thar hUl.”
While aU of this “hiking” was
going on, Bob had reached the
car, and was riding up and down
the roiad, blowing the horn, and
trying to decide whether or not
to go after a searching party. They
continued on their way for about
another hour, reaching the road
at 10 p. m. Bob then picked them
uip and they went home.
This trip proved to be very suc
cessful in more ways than one
One of the Dyed-in-^e-Wool fish
ermen said when asked about the
luck they had, “We caught one
big fish about 8 inches long, and
lots of little ones.” Mr. Kay’s arms
looked like a couple of wildcats
had attacked him, where the thorns
and briars cut him up. Mr. Baker
was heard to say two days later.
“I haven’t slept any in two nights,
thinking about snakes and about
things that could have happened
to us.” Mr. Holden just swore that
somebody had moved a mountain,
for ^en he got where the moun
tain was, it wasn’t.

Ueut. William M. Heaton (“Mac”
to all of us), member of a Thun
derbolt group led by Col. Francis
S. Gabreski, fighter ace, ran into
a formation of German fighters
and the scrap began. Gabreski,
who shot down two enemy planes
in the ensuing fight which brought
his total to 26 planes brought down,
said, “When I levelled out after
almost colliding with my first vic
tim, another got on my tail and
bullets were striking all over my
plane. I called for help — not
once but what seemed a continu
ous yell. 1 was glad to see my pal
(Lt. William M. Heaton of Hender
sonville, N. C.) dive on the 109
and chase him down to deck. I’m
sure I owe Heaton my life. I came
out,' saw another 109 wMcli 1 sliot
and set on fire. It fell to the
ground.
Good luck, “Mac.” We are proud
to say you are from our depart
ment.
