his parents, Mr. and Mrs.. D. H.
Orr, that his camp was one of
the ones visited on Dec. 11th by
President Roosevelt and a party of

the group had lunch with the
32nd squadron of which D. S. is

plane got lost from others that
were flying a mission and they
were returning to their base fly
ing low over the water. Evidently
thinking the plane was an unarm
ed transport, three German sea
planes pounced upon it. Seeing
they were outnumbered, the pilot
of Tate’s plane pulled up in an en
deavor to reach a cloud. But they
were too late to escape, they had
to fight it out and in the ensu
ing encounter, Tate bagged one of
the enemy aircraft and won the
battle.
Young Tate, as a member of
the 301st Bomb Group, took part
in the African, Sicilian and Ital
ian campaigns. The first was the
most difficult, he said. He escaped
without injuries, but said one day
he thought he had surely been hit
' when flak crashed into his com
partment, struck his guns and a
piece lodged in his shoe.
Asked about the skill and dar
ing of German airmen, Sergt. Tate
said that some of them were ex
cellent while others showed lack
of training. He surmised that the
Nazis were keeping their best fly
ers to guard critical points in
the Reich proper or to repel an
invasion from the west.
In discussing his exploits as an
airman, there was no suggestion
of gloating in the language of
Sergt. Tate. He was as calm as if
he had been describing a duck
hunt instead of hazardous combat,
Boys Doing Swell Job
“Say for me,” Sergt. Tate re
quested, “that the boys over there
are doing a swell job,” and he ex
pressed the view that the war will
be over soon.
Sergt. Tate, 23, is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. F. Tate, of Brevard.
He volunteered for service on
Sept. 26. 1941, and went to Eng
land on August 6, 1942, and thence
to Africa. Traveling in a Flying
Fortress that was being sent back
to this country for repairs, Sergt.
Tate arrived at West Palm Beach,
Fla., Dec. 8, 28 days after the
craft left a point in North Africa.
The trip was prolonged by the ne

gards money than it was a year
ago.
Mr. Kelley, retiring president,

various projects in which the
chapter had been engaged during
his tenure of office. Among these
were the scrap metal drive, the
street dances during the summer,
the Third War loan drive, and the

operation accorded him and urged
cordial and united support of the
new officials in all undertakings.
