THURSDAY. SEPT. 2.1, 1943 PAGE SIX THE NEWS - JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. imJN HIS MAJESTY'S SERVICEfeV THERE! was seldom an hour dur Inn the months. he was a stew ard at H.M.C.S. King's College In Halifax that Petty Officer Woodfleld didn't think about pigeons. Today Woodfleld Is a petty officer In the R.C.N.'s communications branch. On the West Coast he has a newly constructed pigeon loft overlooking the sea. if A little over a year ago Woodfleld wVote a letter to his commanding officer. It was about pigeons and how they could serve the Navy. y In his letter Woodfleld had said some things which might have aroused not only surprise but doubt! For instance, he said he didn't think the navy would have to invest any money in pigeons, i "What I meant to convey was," Woodfleld says, "that if I knew my pigeon fanciers and I was sure I did I would be able to obtain the finest types of birds without spend ing a nickel." He had an Implicit faith that fanciers would donate their finest birds to the Naval Ser vice. . "And they did." he declares. "I recruited birds from fanciers In Victoria. Vancouver, Edmonton, Re- gina and Winnipeg. I told them I wanted young pigeons. I asked them to breed pigeons for me and to send them to me while they were young. That's what I wanted young pig eons, fine, young thoroughbred pigeons. I asked them to regard it as a piece of their war effort. . "Flying over water is against a pigeons nature.'' Woodfleld ex plains. "They are a land bird. I know of one bird taken to sea for training flight who took off from a signalman's hand, circled the ship and tried to land again on the sig nalman's hand. When the bird dis covered he could not land, he went up high and headed for home. There are many problems, including fog and storm and gale. We've got to get and train birds to fly over open water through the fog and storm." ' Woodfleld trains his birds one. two and live miles out "in the line of flight" until they reach the patrol area from which they will work. The petty officer explains that pigeons fly by Instinct and by sight. "Our main idea is to breed and train enough birds to stock all the ships out here." Woodfleld says. "And we'll need plenty of the right kind of birds properly trained. In . I,.-,;,,,;,-...... , ,. . ! : ON i 1 youii,f birds which fanciers across the country would like to ship to us at H.M.C. Dockyard. Esquimau. e ve got to be carefu with what we have until we've bred and trained a sufficient number of birds to do the job thoroughly. We've flown them over 60 miles of open sea and thev've mnrie it in lin fact, we -are still open to any fine I hours flying by Instinct, mind you. Petty Officer W. H. Woodfleld, R.C.N., Is shown with one of his trained pigeons. A peace-time fancier, he is now successfully trainina oiaeona to fly through fog, snow and rain, from ships at sea bringing impor tant messages to shore bases. (At top) An R.C.N. sailor releases two pigeons from ship at sea. The on at right is a little slow in getting his landing gear up, but his training has been adequate and he will soon be winging his way shoreward. We had a couple fly over 60 miles of sea through a heavy snow storm. They made it In four hours, battling a strong wind all the way." The day is not far distant, Wood fleld predicts, when pigeons will be used for emergency messages by all ships of the R C.N. They will fly Incredible distances when they have matured and have been well trained.

McDonald Resolution on the death of Moses C. McDonald, adopted by the Direc tors of Moore County Hospital, In corporated in accordance with action taken at the quarterly meeting held on September 3, 1943. By means of this resolution the Di rectors of the Moore County Hospital wish to express to the family and friends of the late Mr. Moses C. Mc Donald and to the general public, their sense of loss and bereavement at his passing away. A distinguished and influential figure in Moore Coun ty for halfja century, Mr. McDonald had served on the Board of Directors of the Moore County Hospital since March 1932. Despite his many other interests and the multitude of calls upon his time, Mr. McDonald was outstandingly regular in his atten dance at meetings. There his pati ence, his balanced judgment, his un derstanding of the County and his kindly and sympathetic interest in people in all walks of life gave par ticular1 weight to his opinions. As a Board of Director we shall miss those, valued judgments of his and as in dividuals we shall miss Mr. McDon ald's courtesy, his easy dignity, his warmth and quiet strength and shall feel that we have lost both a true friend and an inspiring example of antique virtue, and distinguished manners. We further resolve that a copy of these resolutions be presented to Mr. McDonald's family and that other co pies be furnished to each of the Coun ty Newspapers. Sandhill Citizen.
