ma, landed his big transport plane
on a 5,000-foot sandbar, three miles

his co-pilot. Sgt. Dallas Burford,
walked to a nearby villege where
he found an English-speaking na-
tive. "The Burmese told us we were
only three miles from the Jap gar-
rison, but the natives were friendly
and never told the Japs of our
presence," Paschang said.
From an Indian base, Major
Richard Kight, who piloted Wendell
Willkie around the world, left early
the next morning to search for
the stranded plane When he found
it he dropped food to the crew and
radioed for fuel Maj. Roy O. Ral-
ston, former pilot for the Montreal-
New York airlines, took off in a
Liberator to deliver fuel to Pas-
chang. So as not to attract the
nearby Japs to the plane, Ralston
flew up and down the river, straf-
ing Jap villages and barges, it

He Fights On the Farm Front
Like thousands of other Texas farmers, J. Y. Martin, Tarrant
county farmer living near Arlington, keeps his farm in the fight by
working out a plan to produce more food this year than he grew last
year. Here he's shown reporting how he expects to market nearly
twice as much pork from his farm in '43 as he sold in 1942, and at least
25 percent more beef. He is feeding out 30 steers that soon will be
ready for market, and he has 25 cows each with a calf by her side.
Using soil and water conservation practices and operating under a
planned production program, Martin produces all the corn, oats and
grain sorghums his livestock need.
This week, more than 418,000 farmers and ranchers of Texas were
busy mapping out Food for Freedom plans with their local USD A
War Boards. On each individual plan sheet, they were itemizing
specific amounts of food, feed and fiber they could be depended on to
produce this year.
Heaviest increases in Texas have been called for in pork, beef, milk,
eggs, poultry, soybeans and peanuts.

BY SO DOING YOU HELPED
MY CAUSE IN TRYING TO
BEAT A DECADENT DEMO-

done the job well. No workers in
anybody's county could have cut
down any of these in this county.
They got the job done efficiently
and with the speed of one of our
Panhandle wind storms. A boquet
to them and to the generous res-
ponse of those contributors. An
Honor Roll is to be run in next
week's paper as it is not complete
at present.

you gave. More lives will be saved

Please report any complaints any-

his complaint is investigated. So
many times people misunderstand
