The flight of this ghost shippiloted only by "George," the automatic control, after its crew had bailed out over robot conscious Britain, constituted one of the most amazing "operational" trips of the. war. The odyssey began over the "Wash"--midway up England's east coast. Aloft with its full bombload, the Fortress got into difficulties, and its 10-member crew bailed out in the vicinity of King's Lynni Before taking to the chutes the cVew sent out an SOS. • r ^ • Immediately this dramatic order was sent out: ^Intercept and destroy Flying Fortress, last seen heading from tn^ Wash toward Liverpool." Fighters took off immediately to carry out this unusual instruction. Crewmen said they bailed out when one engine was ablaze. The automatic pilot had been set to take the ship up the North sea. But apparently by some mechanical freak the Fort leveled out and, under guidance of the automatic pilot, swung across country with fighters in pursuit over 600 miles of countryside. Below, many thousand! saw the plane, unaware that it was* loaded with a cargo of death without a living Soul aboard. Playing tag in the clouds with pursuing fighters, the Fortress touched off air raid sirens in Liverpool and a number of Midlands and Wales towns -- sirene which had not been heard "opera- . . « nL..nt tionally" for many months, in some -•»t and casew 'tar vears.

REV. RAYMOND HE7TTERMANN. Many of us do net nates the 4as work ear Junior Bed Crow is dsfaw, so this week we shall try to impart an idea, within a limited space, of their line activities. The following excerpt is interesting: "Field director at McClOskey gen* eral hospital. Temple, Texas, requisitioned 1,000 canes and crutches form this office. She asked for a rush shipment so that if the material came in timie, boys could go home for Christmas., The delight of the men who were thus enabled to get home for Christmas as a result of the splendid service provided by Junior Red Cross members was so genuine that this office received a long distance call expressing their delight." According to Mildred Howorka of Wonder Lake, who is actively engaged in Junior Red Cross, the lengthy bulletins necessary to carry on work is being accomplished through the co-operation of Mrs. Richardson and her class in the McHenry high school. The typewritten sheets, we hear, are. beautifully executed. It is interesting to know and for us . to . t9]B[iember that through the Junior Red Cross boys, rural mail boxes have been made for needy rural schools to augment delivery of Red Cross material. . In the latest Junior bulletins the following items appear: "Will you urge ell Junior Red Cross members to send-to this office through you, any and all decks of playing cards which are in fairly good condition. Will you set up a collection program for the following: dominoes, monopoly, lotto, parchesi, bing, flinch, pit, roak, lexicon, con*- tact, jig saw puzzles and quiz games." For information, contact Mrs. Rulien, chairman. The Junior Red Cross !s asked to assist in filling educational gift boxes to be sent to boys and girls in fhe liberated areas. These boxes are small but contain many necessary school supplies such as pens, pencils, blotters, etc. Our work in every branch of Red Cross has just begun, as readers realize. There "isn't time to get weary and funds are necessary. We know you are going to • be generous in donating in the present drive. Our boys and girls who are overseas write many letters telling of the grand work of the overseas units of Red Cross. These communications come to the attention of the writer constantly. It is fitting that in this lenten season we are asked agsin to take part in- the corporal works of mercy. We cannot ignore that call. MRS. HUGH MURPHY.

Makes Improved Oance A new cotton gauze bandage that tends to fit and cling better than ordinary gauze and which allows greater freedom of movement in bandaged joints has been developed by the U. S. department of agriculture. The gauze has a high degree of stretchability which makes it partly self-fitting so that it conforms to irregular surfaces and has sufficient elasticity to make it flexible and somewhat self-tightening without restricting the circulation of the blood. It has a roughened surface which causes layers of -the bandage to cling together. It is especially desirable in head. knee,., arm and elbow dressing. It is made of chemically treated ordinary open-weave gauze and has been used with sucin New Orleans navy hospitals.

Barn Murals Canadian barns have recently shown a new lease on life with the appearance on their otherwise drab surfaces of painted murals. "Pastoral and other scenes are proving more popular than the former paid advertisements," says the report. "Enterprising artistic painters, encouraged by a possible desire on the part of the farmer to escape excess profits taxes, have sold him the idea of preserving, and at the same time beautifying the otherwise uninteresting sides or ends of his barn. One painter, having completed over 100 barns, reports the average lengths of murals as from 40 to 70 feet with his price approximating $100 dm job." Order your Rubber Stamps at The Plaindepler.
