Richards, 4th Son of Supt. J. XL Richarda, Jr., Deacribea Night Flying In India^ Captain J. G. Richards, 4th, son of Supt. and Mrs. J. G. Richards. Jr., who is wjth^^fae flying "forces, writes from Assam, India, describing w-hat it means to fly the “hump” at night. Taking his last trip as an example Captain Richards describes the flight In the‘‘following words: “We -took, off from the home base about 1630 (4:30 p. m.) and turned south after coaxing the heavily loaded Dumbo over the line of palms at the end of the runway and the heavy jungle beyond. The engines hum smoothly at climbing power as we light up cigarettes and enjoy the rush of air through the ventilators, cooling after the 120 degree heat be- low. We cross the Bramaputra at four thousand, swollen with the mon soon rains it has widened to more than ten miles, covering many vil lages and hiding the green pattern- work of rice paddies and woods. We can see the natives poling among the bungala roofs, aimlessly, nothing to do until the waters subside, uncover ing the richened paddies. "Crossing the river we enter the low hanging, clouds covering the val ley range and hiding the squall line, a thunderstorm line which always moves up and down the east side of the river. We are lucky and en counter only slight turbulence and light rain and break out again at six thousand beyond. Below us stretches a 40 mile valley with a low deck of stratus clouds hanging still below us. We are now too high to make out ob jects on the ground, the dark green jungle is like a thick, soft carpet pat. terned by muddy streams. The carpet slopes upward and onto the first of the Nags Hills, a range that gradu ally rises in 50 miles to around 13,000 feet. The Naga tribesmen have built their villages on the mountain peaks probably for defensive reasons as well as the advantage of living high above the thick jungle in the valleys. We pass Into a stratus layer at tight thousand feet and fasten on our oxy. gen masks, as the air is becoming thin and my right eyelid twitches— my own Individual reminder that oxy. gen is needed. We break out again at 14,000 feet and see that we’ll be able to cross the ‘first ridge' In the clear at 14 000. Thirty minutes later we clear the last line of peaks pass- ing just to the right of a wild peak almost hidden by its own thunder- storm, which forms almost every af ternoon. As we pass over the Chlnd- ^n river and the stretches of Burma jungle to the No*rth, South and E^ast we remember that Just a short while ago the Japs were in control of all this country behind us to the edf^ of the valley and In front of us to the Chine sea and beyond, with only our China bases open. “Ak darkness falls we climb to our assigned altitude, turn on our wing, nose and tail lights and aet up ‘George,’ the automatic pilot, for he can .do a much better- job than we can In this straight and level flying. W’e can just make out the Irrawaddy river below, but to the South we see clearly the lights of an airbase that was the scene of one of the deciding battles of Northern Burma last fall. A solid string of tiny lights sixteen thousand feet below marks the Lodo' Road and ahead the Junction with the Old Burma road, as it starts It’s tortuous way over the ’Main Hump.’ We enter the ‘soup’ once more and this time it will be until we break out in China. Several times we pass close to thunder storms, and the St. Elmo’s Fire dances crazily on the wing tips, props and on the nose of the ship. It Is a beautiful sight, the weird blue lights formed by static electricity. You can lead it around the wind shield with your finger ’till it pops off into the clouds again. The rain begins to pour like a solid sheet and each drop sparkles with a blue light aa It strikes the nose of the plane. It is a strange siRht but a common one at this season of the Rtt^eani Sajrs Decuion To Be Baaed On PubKc Wiahes- (Ckintinued from flrat page) The Daughters of the American Revolution, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Legion and Leg. ion Auxiliary, the Lions.

I want It to be an Im pressive and perpetual expression of appreciation and pride In the achieve ments of those who gave their all for oar country. “I have not decided when the mass meeting will be held. It will not be in the immediate future, perhaps in A month or two. I want the people of our county to take advantage of the Interval between this announcement Ud the date of the meeting to (Con sider the memorial matter carefully, so that when we do have the meeting, iwe can get some concrete expressions from the citixens. * **At the mass meeting I have In mind the naming of a committee to give consideration and thought to the various suggestions offered and sub- mU to the delegation a report recom- mSDdlng what form # our memorial shall take.” cdurse we fly In the vicinity of peaks almost as high as we’ll be flying. To ths South of Tall with It’s treacherous down drafts and high toll of Hump crews, to the north of another, with out a name, then to the south of the highest peak and so on-.UiOt4i our needle indicates that we are over our valley. We have been on instruments sliice right after the take-off In China and there could always be a mistake in4calculation, but our confidence re vived by careful cross checking, we begin our second and final descent for tonight. Ws are cleared to our home radio bea(M>n and hold while other ships with less gasoline go in first. Finally our time comes and we begin to let down, back and forth over the station lower and lower until we cross the 'low cone’ and a certain number of seconds later we break-out below the clouds 700 feet above the field. Before us lies the runway se we drop flaps^ cut power and land. We park and sink wearily In the seats for a few minutes before unloading our gear, thankful for another safe trip, too tired to wonder what the next may bring. "As we head for our ‘Bashas’ and the ‘Sack’,we pass other crews going out. for the operation is (M)ntlnuou8 and endless. The inevitable question, ‘How’s the weather?’ comes out, ‘Not too bed, comes back the inevitable answer, ‘We made it didn’t weT’ ” Union Service The Thanksgiving day union serv- ice will be held at the Presbyterian church Thursday morning, Nov. 22, at 8 o’clock.
