Cheek of Idlewild, N. C., and Granville C. Ballard, of McGrady, N; C., re cently completed two years of ov erseas service with a veteran avia tion engrineer batallion in the Mediterranean Theatre of Opera tions. It was but a few days after “D- Day” that the first contingent of this batallion landed in the bat tered harbors of North Africa, Men and equipment were hardly safe ashore before they were put to work building their first air field. Recently, 24 months later, the 60th airfield was completed. Following the advance of the front lines, the unit leapfrogged across North Africa, through the rain and mud in Morocco, over the scenic Atlas Mountains of Alge-! ria, and into the stifling heat of Tunisia, building another field at every halt. And when a hurried call for more airfields “up front” reached them, they made their longest jump—1,000 miles in six days. Moving deep into Tunisia the unit was given the task of con structing 20 airfields for the forthcoming airborne invasion of Sicily. Thirty days from the start ing date, after working day and night, the job was completed. A few weeks later Allied paratroop- WaNTED — Good Irish Potatoes. Will buy any quantity. Highest market price.
