Address Mrs. George Read, Red Cross Drive Chairman, Scottsbluff. In recent weeks, residents of the North Platte valley had long awaited reminders that "Your Red Cross Is at Their Side." from internees liberated by American troops in the Philippines came on stationery bearing the familiar Red Cross the pen and ink and mail service were furnished by the Red Cross, too. As soon 88 troops entered the Philippines, the Red Cross went to work-providing food, clothing, medical aid, small comforts denied the internees so long. Concerning the liberation of prisoners, particularly in Germany, the Scottsbluff chapter has received the following advice from midwestern headquarters: There probably will be no quick cerning the information movement available of prison camps from one point to another in Germany.

The Germans effect these movements with great secrecy because they tie into military strategy in that they tend to reveal future changes of fronts. "It is presumed that the Germans have already moved American war prisoners from the eastern camps toward the center of Germany, and it may be some weeks before the Germans give notice of a given prisoner in a new camp. On the other hand, it is quite possible that the Germans would leave wounded and ill prisonerg in hospitals and (allow them to fall into Russian hands.) the event that any of our are taken by the advancing Russian forces, the war department will probably be immediately advised by U. S. army representatives in Russia.

The war department then, in advises the next of kin by telegraph." C. of C.

(Delayed) -The pilots funniest Capt. man Bill in Gif- our ford, of Buford, S. C. He's a drawly talking southerner, er, lean, profane and witty. He has a long neck and blond pompadour hair and a wide mouth and he is the salt of the earth.

I arrived Gifford held the record for being the skinniest man in the B-29 base. The other boys call him "'The 97-pound Wonder." But now they can laugh at me instead of him when we go to take an outdoor shower. Bill Gifford is an old-timer in aviation, much older than his tel-1 low pilots here. He is 36, and has been flying about 17 years. As says, he's "too damned old to be in this bombing 'He says he gets so scared over Japan imagine he that's can true.

hardly But think, I and notice 1 he volunteered to go on a certain specially tough mission when it came up. It turned out that Giff and I had lots of mutual friends in the early airmail days, such as Dick Merrill and Gene Brown and Johnny Kytle, so we've become practically bosom pals. The Ghandi twins, you could call' us. Bill has been around this world of aviation. He flew the early night airmail.

He flew for Pan American in South America. He was in the royal Canadian air force and made seven trips across the Atlantic, ferrying bombers to England. It's worth a theatre ticket to hear Giff tell about a mission ter he gets back. He uses his hands and his feet and half the room and a great portion of his vocabulary. He gets tickled and then he gets mad.

It seems that everything always goes wrong when Gift is on A mission. He had an experience to prove it while I was here. I'd to visit in a neighboring hut gone for a few minutes and he couldn't find me, or I would have been with him on it. Thank goodness I always seem to step out at Anyway, it was just a half hour the right moment. before supper, when Gift got an emergency order to beat it to the airstrip right quick and take a ship up on a half hour's test hop.

He made the flight all right, but when he got ready to land the wheels wouldn't come down. That's very annoying, you know. Well, Gift radioed the field, and then began working on those wheels. of course these big B-29's are so complicatedly automatic that you do everything by little electrical switches and levers, and 'not by" hand. "Some guys must have spent ail day crossing up wires on that air- me the By Ruth Millett There was a little story in the papers not long band, who, according complaint, came fight ago about a hushis wife's home drunk, with her, grabbed a five pound, 50 point sirloin steak she had ready" to go under the broiland threw it er, her.

The item didn't say what queries the magjistrate put hearing to the wife. But it must have been hard for. him to refrain from asking a few of these: "Could Ruth Millett Ruth Millett you tell my wife how you manage your ration points in order to be able to occasionally buy a five pound sirloin, costing 50 red points? Could you give the name of the butcher who has nice, juicy sirloins for sale? Is Steak for Sale? "Is he a merchant who believes in the 'first come, first served' theory or does he hide his sirloin for pet customers, and if so, would you mind giving me a letter of recommendation to him? Whatbecame of the sirloin anyever, Did you stop fighting long enough to retrieve it and put it in the ice box? And if you aren't going to use -would you like to offer it for sale?" Maybe those questions didn't arise to plague the magistrate who heard the story of the reckless handling of the five pound sirloin, but they must have entered the mind of every point poor housewife who read the story. "'HOARSE" SENSE! for COUGHS due to COLDS really soothing because they're really medicated COUGH LOZENGES Millions use Lozenges to give their throat a 15 minute soothing, comforting treatment that reaches all the way down.

Box, only plane." Gift said in his comical exaggeration when de got back. "Instead of the wheels coming down, the bomb bay doors opened. When I tried to them, the upper turret, gun started shooting. I hit switch by mistake, and the tail skid came down. Just for the hell I tried to lower the flaps, and instead the bomb bay doors went shut.

"By that time I'd turned it over the co-pilot and was back in the bomb buy trying to make some sense out of the switchbox and get things, I working couldn't again. make head nor tail out of it. I worked on the damn for halt an hour and was gettin' madder every minute. "Finally I just got so disgusted I hauled off and gave the goddam switchbox a good smack with the and sturted to walk out. And just like that the wheels came down and everying was all right." GIft looks more like Texas cowboy than a bomber pilot.

He's a conscientious objecto to ail forms of exercise. All the pilots sleep all. night and halt the day, but Gift sleeps more than any of them. He is probably the unmilitary' man in the outfit. most, just an old-shoe southerner, and generous as can his wall are a map of the Pacific and a picture his wife.

He goes around most of the time in nothing but white under-drawers. The first two fingers of Gift's right hand are off, clear up to the hand. No, he didn't lose them from flak or Jap fighters. He shot them off with a shogun when he was hunting quail many years ago, He writes beautiful hand by holding the pen between thumb 200 and last two fingers. He holds a beer can the same way.

Gift calls his plane "Honshu Hank." He wants to form a new fraternity called "Fujiyama. Its memborship would be limited to those who had flown over Japan on bombing missions in 1944. He says if he never goes on another mission in his life it would suit him fine Theatre Structure Will Be Torn Down After surveying the ruins of the fire-ravaged Egyptian theatre building with insurance adjusters today, W. H. Ostenberg, presldent of the Midwest Amusement said that the structure would have to be torn down and Meanwhile, the roofing material which collapsed on the theatre stage continues to smolder, and the last small blaze was extinguished by a "booster line" at about 8:30 a.

Plaster between the bricks was weakened by streams of water played on the blaze. Police Chief James A. Hedge requests that parents warn their children to keep away from the theatre because of the danger of accidents.

A number of young "sight-seers" have been entering the building at night, Hedge said. The ceiling in the offices of Dr. C. G.
