DUNCAN SELLERS SAVES PLANE FOLLOWING RAID "Dunk" Comes Thru Attack on Bremen Lands in England Duncan Sellers, 2nd Lieut, and co-pilot of the Flying Fortress, "Tinker Toy" dis tinguished himself abroad this month. Following a raid over Bremen he brought hi3 damaged plane down, as one broadcaster said, on only "a wing and a prayer." Quoting from the Norfolk Led ger, October 22ni, "Lieutenant Sellers was said to have brought the ship back after the fcilot was killed, two motors and the" nose of the plane shot off, a third motor blasted out of commission and the tail set r fire, Arrnrdincr to information re ceived by the pilot's father, Lieu tenant Sellers' plane took part in a h'lge raid over Bremen a short time ago. High explosive shells hit the craft as well as the usual flak. The iilot, William Minerich, of Wisconsin, was killed instantly and Sellers was wcunded in the snoul der. "Lieutenant Sellers ordered the crew to bail out, but they decided to stick with him and the badly damaged plane. Thoy had no oxy gen, as anti-aircraft fire had dam aged the tank. Yet the Norfolk iiyer brought his disabled craft all ti.e way back over the continent and the English Channel, landing safely." . I Lieutenant Sellers' wife has re ceived a letter written since he was wounded. He was unable to give details of hi3 experience but intimated that he expected to bo discharged from the hospital soon. Lieutenant Sellers known affec tionately as "Dunk" is the second son of the former Miss Lollie Duncan of Beaufort. He has been serving abroad since August. Real Estate Moves Mayor Paul Speaks For The War Drive I wish to commend the United War Fund Drive to the people of Beaufort and Carteret at offering a medium through which one iso lated individual here can reach out and touch for good perhaps the largest number of people that have ever been possible through a sin gle contribution. It serves not on ly the service men at home but reaches out a hand to our boys around the world and civilians in distress in countries overrun by agressor nations. Closer home, it serves the Boys Scouts (Future America) here in our own town and County. Grayden M. Paul, Mayor. Recorder's Court Judge Paul Webb had a long docket last Tuesday following "Court Week" in which there was no Kecorder s Court. It was near ly two before the long morning session was completed. A nice little service man's wife from Wisconsin appeared with her Pfc husband in answer to a citation for driving without a li cense. They had driven down from New Bern to see the ocean "for the first time," she had taken the wheel for a moment while on the outskirts of Morehead City, it was the wrong moment, Patrolman Nelson stopped her, and she was given a summons. She arc used considerable sympathy without trying to by being merely sweet, and young, and far from home, and was let off. There has been considerable movement in real estate this fall all over the County, and under the impetus of buying many lots in Beaufort have changed hands. Brittonville lots along the water front have been cleared and level ed to make them more attractive and during the past thirty Jays the Calvin Jones,' James Biggs,' Tom Kelly's and David Jones' have all acquired property there overlook ing the Sound. Victory Sunday Sunday, Octover 31st, will be Victory Day at Ann Street Metho dist Church at which time every member is asked to bring in the full amount of his pledge so that following a year that has already been a good one in the church, the Rev.

Case of Fleming Fulcher charg ed with larceny of a car was con tinued in order to bring in more witnesses for the defendant. Sixteen year old Willis Lewis, Jr., of West Morehead plead guii ty to driving without a license. Frank Bryan was charged with trespass by his sister-in-law. High class colored people of Morehead Citv thev had gotten in trouble when Frank attempted to move a building on the Iatter's property.
