ABOUT FLYING
Dear Bro:
Guess you thought I had for
gotten you but I haven’t. Have
just been so busy that I never
seetm to get any free time. I
would really have liked to have
seen those football games. I al
ways did like to see Poplar and
Glasgow get beat. The only good
game I’ve seen lately was the
one between Georgia and North
Carolina. Ended in a 14-14 tie
and was well played all the way
through. Each team had about a
dozen All-American players on
it and they really did some neat
ball handling.
Since you'ne playing basket
ball and are getting around quite
a bit guess you'll have to take
care of my old girl friends in
the different towns. I never was
in the team so you should be a
ble to beat my time easy. One
thing to remember is to play the
field; you get around a lot more
and have a lot more fun. I hear
you have been doing all right
though. Remember to brush up
on that dancing, they really go
for that .You can meet more
people and have more fun danc
ing than any other way there is.
I'll try to tell you some thing
about the flying end of this base
—they have two different size
ships. They call the trainer ships
the L ships and the squadron pa
trol ships the K ships. The L
ships are about 150 feet long and
have a car on them about 25 ft.
long and usually carry about 5
or six people. The K ships are
about 250 feet and the car is a
bout 45 feet long. They don’t
just float up in the air but take
off on the wheel much the same
as an airplane. The K ships usu-

to moke a solemn pledge that nothing shall be left
undone to win the war—and to win it quickly.
The Penney Company regards its more than 1600 stores, its more
than 40,000 men and women associates, as a group of tremendous
vitality and force in the war effort. In addition, helping shoulder
to shoulder, VB include the thousands of people who supply us
with what we sell; who in mills and factories all over the land
produce with only one thought in mind: the speeding up of the
war effort. But most important of all, are the millions who are
our customers. They know that no sacrifice is too great for our
common cause—and they make it —willingly and gladly.

The Penney Company's job has always been to supply typical
American families (people who live simply but well) with dothing
and home furnishings at substantial savings.
Those American Families are now the Home Front I
It it their job to send an ever-increasing avalanche of supplies
to those who ore fighting our battles oa the far-flung war fronts
of the world.
.Those American fandSes, that Homo Front, con count on us to
.continue our efforts to supply Ao good American merchandise
must have to keep fit for their groat task. We will continue,
unremittingly, our efforts to secure their needs at savings: Today
it is more than good sense and good management to save—Thrift
and Savings are now an imperative duty.
This is the Penney Company's Statement of Faith, th*
Penney Company’s Promise of Cooperation for the
Year 1943, and for Every War Year Thereafter.

ally carry 10 men but can carry
more. I have about 85 hours in
now. Most of it in L ships but
some time in K's. We went up
on a patrol hop with the squad
ron in a K yesterday. We left ba
fore dawn and returned after
dark. We were up fourteen
hours. Sometime^ they stay up
longer than this. The K ship has
a little electric stove and a cof
fee pot and they just start eook
day. Just 1 meal but it lasts all
day. Just one meal but it lat all
day. We had steak for supper up
there last night. We were up a
round Long Island for a while
yesterday. We did some convoy
work for most of the day.
We get most of our training in
L ships Usually a crew consists
of about four cadets- The instruc
tor t:kes off and then the cad
ets get so much time each on the
controls. They have a big eleva
tor wheel which controls the
ship as far as going up and down
is concerned and rubber pedals
to turn it from side to side. They
have a bunch of valves and dam
pers to keep the pressure con
stant inside the envelope- The
controls are called toggles and
arc located up on the dashboard
and you pull them to vplve air
or pump air in. They also have
toggles for valving helium and
ballast and such- Each ship has
radio contrpls in it and we were
flying the other night on the
beam and it was a lot of fun.
One of the mechanics lost his
hand the other day- He was in
the back of the ship and slipped
and reached out his hand to stea
dy himself and put it against a
window and the window ^ave
wy and his hand went out and
the propellor cut it off. - The

when you begin to fly. We came
in hot in a K ship one day .and
the ship bounced up in the air
and one of the ground party was
haging on the hand rail and
got scared and let go. dropped
to the ground and broke his leg
above the knee. He only dropped
about four feet so it shouldn’t
have hurt him. Those are the
only accidents that they’ve had
since I've been here.
As soon as we get checked out
w e start landings and takeoffs.
They’re the hardest part of fly
ing. Several of the fellows have
washed out in flying sdMf you
see me coming home some day
you’ll know I did’nt make it ei

ty five different courses and ev
ery one is a tough one. Have
passed everything so far though.
I'm due to fly soon so must
close. Tell Mother and Dad that
their Christmas presents are go
ing to be a few days late. Also
yours. I’ll send them all togeth
er. If they haven’t gotten any
thing for me yet, tell them to
wait until my next letter. I’ll
take inventory and see if there
is anything I need- I don’t think
there is. They keep us pretty
well supplied here. Will write
again soon as I get a chance.

VERYONE win be at the
r~< New Year's party but
■*—' me,” wailed Ruth, "and
you promised to take me.”
“I know, daughter,” her father re
sponded, "but not in such a storm.”
"There probably won't be any
party,” Ruth's mother consoled her.
"They’ll have it some other time.”
"Imagine a New Year’s party at
any other time!" Ruth laughed bit
terly. “I never get any fun. Cooped
up here on the farm all winter, and
now when there’s something doing,
father backs down on his promise.
Scared of the storm! Why, I
wouldn’t be afraid to drive over
alone.”
“Well, you aren’t going to! All
right, I guess we can make it. Go
get your things."
Ruth jumped up and kissed him.
Her mother’s protests were scarce
ly heard.
Before they had gone far Ruth
admitted the storm was really
worse than she had realized. The
snow was not very deep, but the
howling winds had piled it in
strange drifts that made even their
own gate and the familiar road
seem queer and unreal. The wind
shield, except where the wiper
swung back and forth, was blurred.
They Stumbled On Together, Feel
ing Their Way.
and she strained to make out the
edge of the road. Her father also
was having trouble.
"We'll have to turn back, Ruth,”
he said. "There Isn’t a chance. It's
getting worse, too. Better to miss
the New Year’s party than the New
Year.”
“Of course, father." Ruth felt
relieved.
The car swung around, the brakes
jammed. The soft snow settled
down under the two front wheels
which hung over the edge of the
road. “We're stuck. Ruth,” her
father said. “I doubt if I can get
enough traction to back her." They
got out, scraped away the snow and
tried to lift the car, but one wheel
was caught. Ruth shivered. "Hadn't
we better hike home before this
storm gets worse—and we get too
cold?” asked Ruth.
Following the road proved quite
, a task. They stumbled on together,
। feeling their way, and at last the
' welcome lights of home showed
j them the right direction. "This isn’t
i much of a New Year's eve cele-
I bration.” Ruth admitted, "but it's
a lesson. I'm making my New
Year's resolution right now not to
insist on my own way."
"That’s right, honey," her dad re
plied. "and if you remember that,
I’m sure we'll always have much
happier New Years."
