SIoss of Tryon, was the navi gator . of the heroic return of the American flying fortress, Phyllis, which took part in a big fortress raid over - German plants in France last Friday. The Associated Press reports that the fortress navigated by Lieutenant Thomson of St. Louis, Mo., was the tail end of the big fortress formation of other ships and naturally caught the worst of German gun fire. Forty Ger man airplanes attacked the ship, and anti-aircraft holes were shot in the ship’s wings, two motors were out of commission, three shell holes in the rudder, three in the stabilizer, half the controls shot away, the landing gear smashed, and more than 200 holes in the fuselage. All this was over France; but Navigator 'Thomson and his crew of fellow flyers brought the ship back across the Channel where it clipped the tree tops and landed on its belly. The story is told in Tuesday’s Charlotte Observer, is one of the thrilling adventures of the war. Lieutenant Thomson has visited Tryon several times and made a number of friends who will be interested in the feat of his brave crew. Postmaster G. D. Cooksey calls attention to the necessity' of mail ing Christmas packages earlier this year on account of increased transportation difficulties. Mail to those in foreign service should be sent this month if you want it delivered by Christmas.
