There was no loss re ported. The Belk store was entered through a rear window, but so far as the store management has been able to de termine, nothing had been taken. 'The Austin Shebeen filling station on DeKalb. street was broken Into through a rear window in the .same manner the other two places were entered. In this instance cash to the amount of |20 is reported mlssnlg. According to the chief of police all of the break-ins occured late in the afternoon. In each instance a pane of glass was broken and the window unlatched and th^ raised. At the Kelk store the intruder had squeezed through a six inch space between iron bars. This fact leads the police to believe that the break-ins were made by a boy or boys of small statue. Tniesdale Part Of Carrier Group In War Theater Kerahaw County Sorfonnt, A Glider Mechanic, Hka Important Job. Sgt. Alfred C. Tmeadale, who group the 434th 'Troop Carrier group, Is part of the vast U. 8. Troop Carrier frees headed by Major General Paul L. Williams, which la the flying eche lon of the First Allied Airbom^Army, is from route 1, Kershaw. He Is a Squadron glider mechanic. Behind the headlines of every he roic exploit of Air Force combat crews is often found the untold story of bow the ground mechanics and technicians worked many long hours to make the airplanes.as near perfect as possible for a flight against the enemy. When a combat mission Is completed and the airplanes and crews return, the “behind the scMies’’ personnel have only the satisfaction of knowing^ that their Job was well done. The famous 434th Troop Carrier group commanded by Lt. OoL Ben A. Garland of Waco, Texas, has many of these mechanics and technicians who are in this non-glomorous poeitkm. One of these men is Sgt. Alfred €. Tniesdale of route 1. Kershaw. When this hard striking, low flying 'Troop Carrier unit towed the flrst gliders to land on the Cherbourg peninsula and participated in the air borne envelopment of Holland, Sgt Truesdale helped ready the gliders for these missions and bis only re ward was in knowing that the glider pilots who flew the missions returned to the home base without serious in cident EJvery glider had to' be checked and double checked, every strut, cable and spar had to be tested, and the right amount of ballakt in the form of sand bags had to be stored in ihe tail section of the motorless craft. The Kershaw sergeant who has been overseas for the past 18 months, doesn’t confine bis working setivity to those periods preceding a combat mission. High winds and excessive rainfall play havooi with gliders and (during these bad weather periods, Sgt Truesdale must be on hand and ready to protect his glider fleet from the elements. The wartime proverb, “Ho wlso serves, who stays behind and waits for their return.’’ can well be applied to Sgt. 'Truesdale, who watches his glidera depart for enemy territory and only learns of their fate when the glider piolts return. Memorial Rites For W. T.
