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.

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

the Rev. W. Stanley Potter will be

Church met when he goes to Con
ference next Tuesday. At the
morning service the sermon will be,
"This is the Victory" and there
will be special music by the choir.
