Levi. U'minon Building. Sumter South Carolina. U. a. A. Gear Mr. l^evi. The final paragraph in your letter comes very acceptable in those difficult times and 1 thank you for the sympathy and express to both myself and our countrytl Your experience ' as a captain In France during the Great War makes you appreciate something of what wo are getting here, but we are prepared for still greater trials and hardships. The spirit of the "Man In the Street" is wonderful and all are determined to fight to the last hill-top even. This Is a Job that has to be done and done properly this time?not like last time when the Germans cried "Comrade before their own soli was invaded-?and we must see that it cannot happen again. In this part of London life goes on much as before In spite of restrictions and heavy taxation. Business Is extremely qulot but after all, what is the good of money when everything that matters is at stake? Photography, especially here, has slumped and all my advertising and commercial work has gone west but I'm looking forward to a boom "after." Advertising and illustrating should be in great demand when wo are reconstructing Europe and every advertising agent I've spoken to agrees. And that reconstruction is going to be nearly as costly as the war at present as we have to rescue all the countries that have been over-run by that Hellbound Hitler. , ! Just now I spoke of the "Man in the Street" but the women are as I wonderful. The war they are carrying on lwth their Jobs of work?many doing the work of strong men?how they are fitting themselves into the changed conditions of today, and even theordinary house-wife carries on with a fixed determination to see It through. God help any Invaders that get through our defenders as practically every woman Intends to wipe out any Nazi that comes their way. It is not a question of "hate" but a resolve to be finished with this swarm of vermin once and for all. One does not "hate" rats but one exterminates them all the same. Many keep a carefully sharpened carving-knife handy for eventualities. Until now we in London tfave escaped bombing but even if we get it night and day, as we expect when the "Ma dDog" starts running loose, ' we are prepared to "take it." We are looking forward to that day with the knowledge that our boys, "Kings of | the Air," the R. A. F.. havethe mastery of any that attempt it. Yesterday it was announced that we had dropped 37^000 bombs on enemy coiIntry compared with 7,000 they had presented to us. (And Hitler threatened ten to our one!) Well, we have proved we are not so effete as <3ermany thought and our youngsters are demmrrtrattng tbe fact every day?and night. Men that but a few short months ago were behind counters, at office desks, in factories, on the land, etOa, are risking their lives for the benefit of us vivilians, taking hourly hazards to make the air purer and clear It of the blood* stained murders of women and children. All I've met seem to take It as a matter of course, going up cheerfully with a sandfroid that Is wonderful, returning with the satisfaction that another "bird" Is "off the air." Several of my personal friends who are awaiting their "call-up" are like greyhounds straining at the .leash. They want to be "at em". Their work, their homes, their very lives do not count when Britain Is in danger. "Effete" be damned. May I state how we In the Empire appreciate the support your great Nation is giving us. Speaking of an ordinary citizen your moral support?j as well as tho material side?gives us. heart te face the ordeals we are enduring and those In front of us. Like us, the U. S. A. realizes that the pow-| er of Nazidom must be crushed forever, this vile slavery destroyed, and the small states of Europe freed from oppression, and mankind allowed to live without the fear of recurring war by the tigars and Jackals who are overrunning the Continent. ~"The other k?<)-?ome Belgiaus here, two of them had lost all they possessed for the second time in their Uvea and are refugees in England once again. Their courage is splendid and they are filled with determinai tion to recover their country from the enemy. I Here, in Britain, we are a little Europe in ourselves as dally we are adding to our fighting forces those soldiers of other states who are under the heel of Hitler. In London may be seen soldiers and sailors of thd subjugated nations, lining up with us to oppose the common enemy. I should like to personally conduct Hitler around Britain so he cound see for himself the "atone wall" he is up against. Not our material defenses s? much but our moral ones. He would then realize that we can never be beaten, not even when he is being wheeled around in a bath-chair or dying of old age in a Nazi madhouse. Well, I've let myself run on and you piust forgive me if I have bored you, but after your expression of goodwill I felt I must write more than a formal letter. Again thanking you for your commission and trusting we may be able! I to do more business together "after". J Yours sincerely, A ,W. HUHSTO. Sumter Item.

FREE DELIVERY - - PHONE 282 I ????????? Aged Operator Tells of First Plane Flight Manteo. N. C., Sept. 2.?Yesterday was an important anniversary in the life of Alpheus W. Drinkwater, who tappod out the first news of the birth ol aviation and who still relays telegrams and* coast guard matters along tae outer banks, but, with a hurricane on the coast, he didn't have much time-to receive plaudits and to reminisce. When a storm gathers ofT the banks Cap'n Alf is a busy man. That's the way it's been ever since he became a telegrapher forty years ago yesterday, I Cap'n Alf, who was Dorn July 31, 1875, at Oregon Inlet, picked up telegraphy at Virginia Beach, VS., railroad station In his 'teens. On September 1, 1900, he was employed at Currituck and in January 1916, was moved to Manteo, where he's been ever since save for a% brief period, when the coast guard moved to Norfolk, Va. Drinkwater naturally rates the birth of aviation as the greatest thing he ever saw. For he was on the 'spot when Wilbur and Orville Wright first flew at nearby Kitty Hawk, December 17. 1903. Cap'n Alf says the first flight was "really Just gliding down a hill," and the Wright's, because of lack of funds were forced'to go back to Dayton, 0.( to continue their bicycle business. ? When the Wright's came back in 1908, "they really did things then," DrfiikWater says. "Wilbur and Orville^ had been back here only a few week# 'when they took off on the morning of May 6, ? 1908,'! he says. "They had a successful flight that day and two days later, ' "they went up a total of 12 times," "Then on May 14, Wilbur pushed i the steering stick the wrong way and i gracked.UP. the. 36. liftTflfliMBKftr.Sflglaft . but even then they had flown almost every day for a week. "There were thousands of people who didn't believe avlatioh was possible." In this connection Drinkw&tor llkea to,look back to rthe lime when the late Uedruce Salley, Norfolk, . Va? newspaperman, had atonies kicked back on him from leading metropolitan newspapers who considered aviation a farce. A Cleveland, Ohio, paper?wlred Salley: "Cut out wild cat stuff." Drinkwater has a copy of the wire and the originals of the first stories flled on aviation's birth. The Wright's kept their experiments secret and J>rinkwater was one of the few who Viatphed the first "flying machine." I "It was one of those things you didn't believe after you saw it," he says. "Nobody thought they'd succeed. I don't care what they say now. "I know how Orville and Wilbur had to struggle to get money to finance their idea. The government was very reluctant to help and It wasn't until they'd flown two miles that it really looked good for aviation's future, and I'll tell you honestly we were excited then." Forty years is a long time Drinkwater admits. But he says he doubts that if he lived a million years he'd I ever experience a thing as great as the birth of aviation.
