Brindle of Taren-tuPa., and Tech. Sgt. James W. Neal of Clearwater, Fla., mechanics on the bomber, declare the little girls name has brought their plane unusual good luck. Formerly named GI IV., the bomber was continually battered by flak during 45 missions. Both engines and bomb bay doors had been shot up so badly they had to be replaced and the wings and fuselage had been peppered repeatedly. But during 39 attacks under the name Geraldine, the plane had received only four minor flak hits. The mechanics met Geraldine and her parents one day during a lull between the Marauder's preinvasion attacks. Now they have a standing invitation to come over for a pot of tea and visit with Geraldine whenever they arent busy. In appreciation of the hospitality, the boys bought their mascot a complete Easter outfit this year. When Geraldines baby brother was born recently he was christened Martin in honor of the Martin Marauder. Pet Woodchuck Enjoys Life Down on the Farm Peter the PITTSVILLE, WIS. Great, a pet woodchuck of the George Yetters near Pittsville, has become domesticated, and from all indications he likes living on the Yet-te- r farm as well as any woodland home. Mrs. Yetter found the baby woodchuck last June at Castle Rock near Sparta. He was huddled near a path, trembling with fright She brought him to their farm, named him Peter and fed him milk with a medicine dropper until he became a playful little animat One day last September, Peter wandered into the garden, dug his first hole and hibernated for the winter. In April he' left his den, and was found wandering in the garden by Joe Arnold, a road patrolman. Mrs. Yetter was summoned, and Peter seemed tickled to see her again. Again he was fed with an eye dropper, for he had lost four pounds, but now he eats all he can get. He is very fond of lettuce, and has developed a taste for sweets, especially ice cream and cookies. Peter makes himself at home in the Yetter house. When the Yetters are too busy to play with him, he amuses himself with an old rubber ball, and when he is tired he climbs up on the davenport for a nap. The farm cats are afraid of the woodchuck, but Peter has made friends with the familys big yellow-haireseven-poun- The Democratic vice presidential nominee, Sen. Harry S.
