For the men of the Group, the cannibalized ship had been a help, but to me it had been a tradition to keep.

Until we were close to Hanoi, we kept well West of the railroad that led to our objective. Even with these precautions to keep from alerting the enemy, we in the air found the Japanese and over the field as we came in from the West. The twin-engifighters absolutely ignored our fighters and made runs on the bombers, but they didnt get very far with their orders. Rector took the first in on the leading Japs four and hit them five hundred yards behind our bombers, who were already dropping their eggs. I saw on the two of Eds flight gang-ubut befirst steeply climbing fore they could shoot it down Daniels went in fast to within a few yards of the Jap and shot him down in flames. As the ship exploded I thought Pat Daniels' plane was on fire too, they were so close. We all confirmed the first ship for the eager Daniels, who was from Van Nuys, California. The bombers were on the way home now, and we sighed with relief and tried to catch the Japs. Ed Rector took the next ship he got. his sights on and blew it apart. Then he fought all the way to the ground with two others.

Swine raisers should recognize the fact that there are two types of pox virus, says a report of the American Veterinary Medical association. One type, swine pox virus, does not cause many death losses but does undermine the hogs health. The other type, cow pox virus, causes a severe disturbance and a number of deaths. The important step in all cases is to eliminate lice from the animals and the premises, because lice are the actual carriers of this disease. Where there are no lice, there is no swine pox. If lice is present the hogs should be treated with an oil and sulphur solution and quarters thoroughly cleaned and disinfected regularly.
