NICHOLS-SERVICE The day is here, when the quiet inland towns, farming communities and all small cities are linked more closely to each other and to big city markets. The lines that draw them to gether are the airlines the short run lines that feed th.e large lines. This means Business and Compe tition will grow. Personnel planes immediatel fol lowing the war, will be the light, easy to fly, safe, and dependable plane as well as economical. Bill says, that every small town and village should have a landing field and should be marked so that more air traffic to small places on week-end trips could be made. The youth as well as older people are learning to fly. These places should be construct ed close in to the towns, they are extremely sample and inexpensive to construct. In many cases an L or T shaped landing strip of a few acres of ground would be suf ficient, it would be well to start now to be in line for the Air Age to Came. A hundred mile trip to the large city is only an hour or so from us now. It ever takes less gas than did the Model T did to go that dis tance, about 4 gallons of gas. Bill has been teaching many around here to fly. Among some of the students to Solo, recently are: Karl Bests, Gordon Whitford, Cass Wojtusiak, J. C. Cornelius, and Jimmy Buckner. “FLY SAYS BILL” B.

On Wednesday, Aug. 15, as the once mighty War lords of Nip pon bowed to the will of the west ern world, the Red Stars 6th, In fantry Division found’ itself one of the most heavily engaged divisions in the United States Army. Land ing as assault division in the counter- invasion of Luzon on Jan uary 9 at Lingayen Gulf and being actively engaged to include August 14 the cessation of hostilities term inates the Red Star Division record for being, in combat 218 consecu. five days a record for any division in the Pacific Theater. In these 218 days. Red Star doughboys arid artillery chalked up a total of = 20,405 captured in defeat of the 20,4075 captured in defict in the Japanese forces at the average rates of over 100 per day. To th,e Red Star doughboys, few of his countless campaigns have been fought under as adverse cond itions as were encountered in the rugged mountains and the tort uos jungles which flank the Ca gayan Valley. With roads non ex istent, it became the battle of the individual doughboy, sometimes crawling on his hands and knees over bare, precipitious trails made slippery by typhoon rains and which transferred mountain streams into rageing, unfordable torrents. Through such difficulties, went the infantryman to attack and take only after hitter fighting, the heavily wooded and vertically-slop ed razor back ridges, which here tofore had remained unexplored. Mrs. Walter Davis of this city is his only sister. O ELIZABETH N. COOK Elizabeth Nell Cook is expected to spend the week-end with her par ents, Mr. and airs. J. D. Cook.
