LT. HAROLD CHRISMON,
FLYING FORTRESS PILOT.
SPENDS TWO DAY IN SEA
fclll*
American soldiers “outblitzed”
the Axis, Lt. General George S.
(“Blood and Guts”) Patton Jr.,
commander of the U. S. 7th Army
said, in a recent interview, analyz-
ing the success of his troops in
Sicily.
Declaring that speed and mobil-
ity were the outsanding factors
responsible for their rapid ad-
vance, General Patton said that
this advance, on a swiftly chang-
ing front, was accomplished with-
out his troops “ever running out
of ammunition. ’ ’
The 7th Army had all the weap-
ons it needed—enough and on
schedule. The quantity a.nci quality
of its firepower overwhelmed the
enemy.
Lt. Colonel R.. M. Baeher, com-
manding Pantex, Carson County’s
giant bomb loading plant, said to-
day that the fact that enough
Weapons were delivered on time
to the Sicilian front was a tribute
to the Industry-Ordnance team,
“backbone of the Ordnance De-
partment, Army Service Forces.”
“Most every town and commu-
nity7 in the Panhandle has had a
part in the home-front achieve-
ment,” Lt. Baeher said, “because
it is through the combined effort
of the people of this plains coun-
try that Pantex has contributed
so much to the war production
program. ’ ’

W. T. Gaston received the fol-
lowing letter from Lieut. John E.
Williams, written July 26.
Dear Mr. Gaston:
I guess it will be quite a surprise
to receive this from over here in
the dark continent. Yes, it was
quite a surprise that we landed
here a few* months back. So oui
activities hear out Sherman’s
description of war, however it is
a give and take proposition, and
what we are to do is defintely give
more than we take. From the lat-
est it looks like just that too, as we
understand that there is somewhat
of resentful attitude in the boot
continent.
The African continent has been
somewhat of a disappointment td
me, especially in climate and to
some extent the atmosphere. How-
ever, we can discount that as the
Axis were here first and what they
won’t leave isn’t worth taking.
The Arabs are a very primitive
race and live wiorse. They did learn
verv quickly that the big hcciitcu
Americans would give them * ‘ smo-
kie,” “bon bon,” etc. However,
the only thing they need is a bath.
I am like all the fellows over
here, as all we talk aibiout is what
we are going to do when we get
back to the skates. Of course, they
itook me at a. very inopportune
time as Charlotte and I were mar-
ried the first of February, and de-
parture was two weeks later. It
was hard to take, but only one of
the sacrifices one has to take in
these times.
Webb, there is one thing that I
want from your smoke-house and
that is a steak from one of your
fattened beefs. We have eaten
canned meat so long that I believe
it has been years since they have
killed a fresh beef. We are cer-
tainly lucky to have a place to
stay and three meals a day, as that
is a lot more than others W,e have
seen hake. ......

RITES AT GROOM
FOR MORRIS KNORPF
ARE HELD SUNDAY
Lieut. Harold Chrismon of Den-
j ton, son of Mi*, and Mrs. H. Carl
j Chrismon, 414 Pearl Street, was
I back on dut with the U. S. Army
j Air Forces in North Africa, after
I lie and six companion had spent
] two days on the Tyrrhenian Sea,
just off the northern coast of Syc-
lly, when their Flying Fortress,
of which Chrismon was pilot, reel-
ed from its target at Naples and
crashed. All the crew hailed out.
Chrismon is a nephew of Jack
Chrismon and grand-nephew of
Mrs. E. F. Tubb and Mrs. W- W.
Simmons of this city.
Four of the men, Lieut. William
S. Mahood of New Dayton, Alber-
ta, Canada, bomadier; Sgt. Ber-
nard E. Doone of New Castle, Pa,
engineer; Lieut. Ronald, Beck of
Colorado Springs, Colo., navigator,
and Sgt. John Haffner, scattered
by the wind, managed to get to-
gether several hours after they
had jumped, and tied themselves
together by their jackets to keep
together. They stated that they
tried to paddle around to keep in
approximately the same position
so that they could be more easily
located, hut by the following eve-
ning, they just lay hack and let the
'current take them westward. Fin-
ally one of the Allied Marauders
spotted them, dropped four rubber
clinghys in which they drifted un-
til the following day.
In the meantime, Chrismon, Lt.
Robert L. Kurz of Clawson, Mich.,
the .co-pilot, and Sgt. Wells M. Mc-
Coy of Hyannis, Mass., radio oper-
ator, managed to swim to a rubber
dinghy which had been loosed
when the fortress crashed. Sharks
struck at them, and the dinghy
was leaking; so they had to take
turns going overboard and putting
their fingers in the holes until
they chanced to find the pump, a
little via ter and some chocolate in
the dinghy on the following day.
The two groups caught sight of
each other on the second day; and
shortly thereafter, they were spot-
ted by Lieut. R-obert F. Smith of
Oxnard, Calif., who was natrolling.
They were rescued, and Kurz was
treated for shark bites .on his arm
and fingers. Others suffered noth-
ing worse than exposure.
Sgt. McCoy tells their story of
their battle against the sharks:
“After our ship crashed,” he
said, “a dinghy was left floating,
and I swam to it. Chrismon soon
joined . me and later Kurz came
along.
‘ ‘ Kurz had taiken off most of his
clothes so he could swim easier
and had been bitten by a shark.
It was only by striking at the
sharks with his fists and feet that
he was able to keep them off.
“They were sharks, all right.
We could see their fins sticking
out of the water.
“The first night we saw* plenty
of them. Their white bellies, as
they turned over on the surface,
showed distinctly against the
black water. We whacked with our
hands to frighten them away.
