Show •By The Editor · ~------------------~ • Some dissatisfaction in the scrap drive being conducted in this county, outside of Salt Lake City, was voiced in the metropolis this week. Just give us time, brothers, and we will do our part to harvest the junk. • With this kind of weather, who can say that this isn't just about the grandest climate in the world? All the unpleasant weather of the rest of the year is forgotten as we bask in the sunshine of these balmy days. • Our esteemed townswoman, Mrs. Melba Bills, has been honored by the national headquarters of the American Legion Auxiliary, by being proferred a national chairmanship. Melba received the following telegram Wednesday: "Would like to have you in the official family. Will you accept appointment as chairman of the Community Service Committee? Please wire reply to national h e a d q u a r t e r s, Indianapolis." Signed, Mrs. Ruth Mathebat, national president, American Legion Auxiliary. • Gwynne Page certainly showed the city boys how to win an election. His slogan, "A County Man for a County Job," was good advice and was evidently taken seri• ously by many voters, for Gwynne polled nearly two to one over his adversary, veteran Jim Mullins, t'Q capture the democratic nomination for four-year county commissioner. e Jack Haas says that he knows a Scotch doctor back in Sow's Bend who quit practicing because he didn't want to treat his patients. e Wash Boberg, the boy from Sandy who made good, has just been appointed state chaplain of the American Legion of Utah for the third consecutive term. Wash has performed the duties of that office so well, that the state officers just can't seem to find ·anyone else who can do such good praying. Congratulations, Wash.

It was probably the biggest bag of fighters ever scored by a bombing formation. The fortress activities were part of a continuous day and night British - American air offensive over the continent. The British air ministry announced that a "strong force" of bombers attacked objectives in the Rhineland during the night, starting many fires." Seven planes were reported missin g. The Flying Fortresses fired all of their guns simultaneously to break the German attack without the aid of fighter plane escort. The American planes had just dropped a bomb load "right on the spot" at the St. Orner airfield when they were attacked by the German fighters and anti-aircraft fire simultaneously. The German fighters attacked from every direction but concentrated on hitting the fortresses from below. Sergeant Beryl R. Cundick of West Jordan, Utah, rear .gunner of one fortress said that four FockeWulf 190's attacked his plane at once. He hit three or four and saw them "dive earth bound like a spent rocket." He said. "Brother. those babies were so full of holes when my guns got through I'll bet you could have used them for a sieve." Captain Frederick W. Dallas, Houston, Texas, pilot of the fortress, said the Germans zoomed up from below drawing "a hell of a load of fire" from the fortress waist and ball turrets. "Pal, they didn't know what hit 'm," Dallas said. Members of Dallas' crew included Sergeant Edwrad J. Leary, Van Nuys, Cal., gunner, and Sergeant Cundick. Sergeant Beryl R. Cundick is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cundick of West Jordan. He enlisted in the air corps as an aerial gunner in November 1941 and was in training in Florida. He is a graduate of Jordan high school and was employed on the Union Pacific railroad prior to his enlistment. This is the second air raid Beryl has been in and his West Jordan friends wish him continued success in his courageous efforts.
