" Following is the letter we received about the Fly ing Fortress: Yancey Record: 1 am the gunner in a flying for tress, which has seen a great deal of the fireworks over Berlin. I have been overseas for a number of months, upt i 1 recently, when I was sent home. The rest of the crew’ are still with this ship. Maybe, you are wondering why I am writing this to you. Well, it is this way: Wo, the members of the crew of a Flying Fortress, named “Mountain Beauty”, agreed that it only fair we should tell the people of your county, and especially one young lady, why our ship was named “Mountain Beauty”. One night we had just returned from an excursion over parts unnamed. We had hit the target. We were proud, but we gave our ship the credit for bringing i>s back home safely, after taking us to our target. Up to then, we always re ferred to it as ‘her”. One of the men, said, “Boys COMING NEXT WEEK “PITTSBURGH” “SO PROUDLY WE HAIL” ! that ship reminds me of a I girl I knew in College back in North Carolina, She was quiet, but she did her work well; she was grace ful and always well balan ced, or we couldn’t have hit the target, in short she was wonderful”. We began to wonder whether he was talking about the ship or the girl, we soon found out that it was both. He showed us a picture iif „a girl; she was attractive, she seemed very much alive, and a boy from Nebraska, said, “What a Mountain Beauty.” Since then the ship has been call ed “Mountain Beauty.” The girl is Margaret Whit tington I promised to tell her for the boys, while I was home, but I’ve been unable to lo cate her, so will you please publish something about it in the local paper, so that her family can tell her wherever she is. I am passing through your town on a Bus this afternoon, and I shall mail this to you. Edward J. Oppeltts, Dal las, 'Texas.

LETTERS FROM MEN IN SERVICE' Yancey Record: I receive the paper regularly brid it ig just like getting a letter from home—always plenty of home news in it- My APO number has been changed but the rest is the same. I have been away from home and in the army so long that I have lost track of many friends but the paper is a boon to me for it keeps me well posted on the, latest happenings. I have been over here well over a year and dur ing all that time I have not seen anyone I know. I know plenty of my old friends are near. The near est I know about is Jess Styles but I have been un able to see him I keep ture. Lt. Sam J. Huskins, Jr. is over here somewhere and if he tries as hard to find me as I have to find him we should get together soon lam checking every Red Cross club but so far haven’t seen a familiar name but I keep trying!

I sin cerely hope you people are doing your very best for God. I am anxious to know how the people around home are living. Not only there but throughout the country. Are we asking God from the very depths of our hearts to protect our people; are we living the lives our friends in service would like for us t/b live; do those in service ask the prayers of back home? I Friends, if you are not living for God may l ask, what are you living for? If ever we need to prs.y the time is now at hand. 'I have received many nice letters from dear friends back Home but very few say they are trusting in God. 5 If we expect to win this war we must first win peace with God, for we must look to Him for vic tory. Grant that we may all live closer to Him each day. Cpl. Joseph Beaver, Camp Barkley, Texas. Yancey Record: —Well, 1 how is, everything coming along 'jn Yancey?
