week were interested in the two ex
tremes in tire slsee that were on ex-
hibltion.
There were two tires (tractor site)
that were folly five feet high and 12
Inches thick. Nearby were two tires
that were about 14 inches high and
but four inches thick.
Ordinarily a sore throat is a nui
sance, but la the case of Lt. William
Major, Jr.. Camden, flyer, a throat
infection which prevented him from
going on a routine flight in a B-29
plane, also saved him from probable
Injury or death.
For Lt Major was a member of the
crew of the super-fortress which
guided by an automatfc pilot after Its
crew had taken to parachutes when
the big ship became filled with gas
fumes, crashed many miles west of
Grand Rapids, Minn., in- a sparsely
settled area.
The big Fortress left Pyote, Texas,
carrying 11 crow members ahd 4,000
gallons of gas.'enough to fly it to the
West coast from the point that the
crew abandoned ship.
The crow Jumped from the plane
from an elevation of 9,000 feet when
gas fumes filled the sMp and threat
ened to explode. One. of the crew was
overcome by the fumes and his com
panions had to strop his chute on and
throw him out of the plane before
they Jumped. Lt. K. C. Hudson of
Thomasrllle. N. C.. was the flyer
overcome and he roooverdd conscl-
ousnesa as he was floating earthward.
Two other members of the crow were

is kept on s 24 hour schedule dally to
deliver ammunition to soften up the
Japs and support the advance of the
Yfuaks of the battle-hardened 33rd
Infantry division, now righting in the
Nofthern Luson area.
West is a cannoneer in the 210th
Field Artillery battalion and since all
artillery depends on the man who
pulls the lanyard, he is an important
man in hla crew.
In the rapidly moving situations
that have characterized the Luzon
campaign, a cannoneer is on the Job
every minute of the day and night.
The gun crews are stationed in the
gun pita at all times, working In
shifts and ready to unloose their
150mm howitzers at a moment's no
tice.
Digging the guns in. constructing
gun and ammunition pits and settlnx
up camoflage nets are but a f«w of
the extra tasks involved when a gun
section moves from one position to
another.
•West has completed two years of
overseas duty and Is a veteran of
three campaigns, New Guinea, Morotal
In the Netherlands Elast Indies and
Luzon.
He wears the OodQ Conduct medal,
Asiatic-Pacific ribbon with two battle
stars and the Philippine Liberation
ribbon with a star.
