Proprietor NTEEN HOURS TO 4 AFTER CRACK-UP Star) TAKES SEVEN CRAWL MILI (Toronto Daily Myrtle Station, Sept. 4the==Confess- ing surprise at finding himself alive after his plane had been smashed into small pieces at High Point, a 22-year- oli student" pilot took 17 hours to drag his battered body less than one mile to a farm house, which he could <ee all during yesterday. Pilot Officer J. 1 Nunn, Dresden, an instructor riding in the plane, was killed instantly, R.C.A.F. oflicials at Oshawa announced. hk More than a dozen trees were snap- ped off when the plane, bound from Camp Borden to Oshawa swooped low. It had been unreported since 1.25 am. Friday, The pilot told the people in the farm house, the home of Mus. Olive Painter, that he had been try- ing to get his bearings. Small pieces of the Harvard trainer 'craft "were scattered for 300 yards, the. largest single piece being the front end of the engine. Crawling out of his parachute har- ness amid wreckage after hitting the{-- ground, the pilot climbed a low hill and sank exhausted in loose sand. That was shortly after midnight yes- tertliiy morning. When the sun rose he said he could see two houses about a half mile away in a straight line. Weakened by deep head and leg cuts, he dragged himself inch by inch to a cow pasture. In spite of his pain he made another few hundred yards by afternoon and staggered to the front gate of both adjoining farms at 6 pon. "It must have been maddening to have both farm houses in sight all day and yet been unable to attract atten- tion," said Philip Goresky, who was coming for supper as the airman was discovered. "The wreck is three hun- dred yards from the road of the third concession of Reach township, and any motorist should have been able to see it." The crash was heard by Henry Davis, who was wakened from his sleep and got out to look around. Hearing nothing further, he concluded that nothing serious had happened and went back to bed. "lI was just getding supper when I heard a man mumbling in front of the house, said, Mrs. Qlive, looked out and saw the grimy man in helmet and shorts. He could not make himself understood and he was leaning against the side of a car. 1 thought he was a German prisoner and ran past him to Mr. Goresky's house across the road. - We all went out to the man and he had just enough streggth to say he was with the R.C. AF. and his plane had crashed and the instructor was killed and asked us to notify Oshawa." "We got him into the Jiouse and aftep some' milk and tea he told us what had happened", * Mr, Goresky said, "We could hardly believe our cars when we heard how the whole thing had happened-so close to us just along the road. The pilot told us that a sudden fog had caused him to lose his bearings, He said the instructor had told him to bring the plane down lower. The elevation at High Point is 1300 feet, far above the surround- ing country, and the plane went right through the' biggest trees in these parts." The injured airman now is resting in the hospital at Oshawa training centre, for two or three hours through a field] - Painter: AHN... IN MEMORIAM BUTSON--In loving memory of Jack, Ada, Jean and Jim. God called them home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love them still Their memory is as dear to-day, As in the hour they passed away. We often sit and think of them, When we are all alone; "For memory is the only thing That grief can call its own.

MAIL ©" NEARS DEADLINE Closing dates for sending Christ- mas parcels to servicemen overseas will be about October 1, according to post offiee officials, who say that the increased mumbers of Canadians from the district who will be overseas this year in comparison to last will slow up delivery somewhat. Officials at the post office say it ¥ not too carly already to mail parcels overseas in order to .insure delivery by Christmastime, bécause many of the addresses will have been posted to their stations by the time the par- cel arrives overseas, and the package will then have to be reforwarded. October 156th would be an absolute deadline for mailing, it was said, and then there was a big chance that ber 25th. .
