The Hearens hare darkened
The sun has set
The ‘‘Death Angel'! has claimed
, The one I can't forget.
Other hearts are happr
Other's lires are gar«
But mr heart still remembers
That Terr tragic dar.
You fought like a hero
Our lires to sare
You gare up jronr life
For an earthtr grare.
When night time comes
And I kneel to prar
To QOD up in Hearen
Theae words I sar,
“I am glad, Lord.
I was his wife.
He taught me so much
In his short life.
What counts is not
The life we llte,
But the senrice' to others'
That it glres.
I understaMi. Dear GOD,
" Whr he had to go,
And here's one thing that
I want roe to know.
That I4ieed roe. Father,
Please hold mr hand.
And walk with me through
This Verr strange land.
Don't'hnild me a HearenlY Home.
Here is whr I sar this—
Just help me be worthr >
To share half of Usi^ ’
He laid down his life
So the WAR could be won.
And rou hath said, "No> greater "

the A. C.
"The target was closing in'* said
Burlingame "and we were returnnig
coming down the coast toward Lin-
garen OidL We let down from S,0<K)
feet to 2,000 feet out to sea to Jettison
the bombs when mr engine quit. I
turned inland and saw I was oter
hlllr countrr but noticing some fields
three to four miles hi front of me
headed for them. Mr instruments
were reading okeh but when I tried
all gas tanks, there was no results.
"1 fastened all mr straps when I
was about 400 feet off the ground. I
didn't haVe time to put on mr oxrgen
mask and glores. Suddenlr I realised
that I hadn't dropped mr bombs so
at 600 feet I puired the salvo and
dropped them. I stretched mr glide
to get over some trees to a rice pad
dle. At 300 feet I cut off mr switches.
‘‘1 had Just cleared the trees at 110
miles per hour and dropped mr Qaps
to get on the field which was Terr
small and was about fire feet <)^f the
ground and readr <o set the plane
down when I noticed a F'illpino wom
an and little bor'^about 100 feet dl-
rectlr ahead of me. Ther made no
effort to moTS. I knew that I’d hH
the ground before I could reach them
but would skid into them. i
So I pulled the plane up to get oVer
them. In doing this I killed the last
bit of air speed I had. The plane
stalled and went down on hbr left
wing Just ten feet berond the Fili
pinos. The wing crumbled and the
plane skidded along, tearing off the
scoop .and bend mg the right Wing.
Just as I saw the prop fir past mr
head I lest consclousnese.
"When I came to I was standing in
the cockpit inspecting the gun eight
with Filipinos all around the plane. I
couldn't remember anrthing for
awhile. As mr senses graduallr re
turned I had four Filipino Guerillas
guard the plane and had a colored
enlisted man take the parachlte out
of the plane, tear It up and form the
letters "O. K.” on the ground. The
Filipinos took me across the field to
a bouse and cleaned uP mr scratches
and wounds, using mr first aid kit
In a few minutes four radar men
came running across the field, sur
prised to fmd me allre. Ther told me
ther Imd seen me in the air and
sent in a report saring I was going
down. After resting awhile I left with
the radar men to go to their outfit
We came across an artillerr captam
and an aid men with a stretcher. I
climbed on the stretcher and ther
carried me to their recon and droTS
me to the hospital. Mr onlr regret
/is the fact that I couldn’t make a good
landing due to the Filipinos, because
I believe the plane would have been
repairable."

Over Stock Prices
BABSON DISCUSSES PRICES
I am still optimistic as to stock
market prices and beHere thati the
Dow-Jones Industrial average will go
at least to 226 and pwhaps 269. It
is now about 207. The Combined sw
ages mar lag m their upward move
ment due to investors switching wlse-
Ir from rails to industrials. SO much
for stock prices.
Mr chief interest at the moment is
in connection with commoditr prices
—that ia what readers must par for
food, clothing and shelter. L hence,
came over to New York, which is the
central market on these basic com
modities. to get the facts. There
seems to be two schools of economic
thought on the part of able-thj^ing
men. This is whollr independent of
the row over .the OPA which is a ques
tion of politics and not of economics.
The first school group—although
they are in the minority^—believe that
we will have continuing high prices
through 1946 and 1947 but that this
rise will bring about a buyers’ strike.
This will be due partly to the fact
that the great mass of people will
then have cashed in such of their
"E” bonds as they 'intend to sell, and
partly to their determination to wait
for lower prices. This may especially
be true in the field of building.
There is a limit to what people will
pay for a new house.
The National Housing agency has
Just released a careful study on home
building. They find that a house
which would have cost 15,000 to build
six years ago would cost $8,250 to
build today. Houses under $6,000 have
gone up 65 percent and houses! over
$6,000 have gone up 57 percent* In
certain sections of the Pacific coast
it is claimed that building has gone up
100 percent. 'These Increases are cer
tainly (mt of line with the advances
in oth^ living costs which amount
to onlw^bout 80 percent.
Over a long pM’iod, prices are de
termined by supply and demand. Even
labor unions cannot do much to af
fect .the l<mg trend of prices. Improve
ments in the standard of living are
due to increased production and new
inventions rather than to labor
unions. Over a short term, however,
labor unions can griMCIy affect prices
by raising wages, shortening hours
and especially by slowing down "the
number of bricks laid per hour’’. This
is true today and will be in 1947
when labor unions may be in even a
stronger bargaining position.
Most of those whom I interview
belong to the second school of
thought; they do not expect the buy
ers’ strike but rather slowly rising
prices for some years to come. Most
businessmen are now short of labor;
over 2,000,000 more persons are em
ployed today than a year ago. In some
industries ^ere exists a real short
age of labor. On the other han\ many
lines of industry are running into' a
very competitive market Many more
concerns wllj be making every pro
duct than before the war..’rhl8 should
tend to keep down profits and make
the price rise orderly.
Food: Ex^ptlng a few products,
such as fruit, dairy products, etc.,
there should be no mcreass in food
prices after the Europeans get a good
crop. Labor is returning to the farm.
Improved farm machinery will be on
the market and—barring unseasom
able weather conditions—there may
soon be a surplus of crbps and even
lower prices.
Clothing and other consumer goods:
Clothing prices wBl" "be" higher. Tha
Industry is heavily unionised and the
OPA has been unfair to clothing mann-
facturers. There also is a shortage in
other lines. 'With the exe^km oC
clothing. I expect only a moderate
rllb in prices of consumer goods fa
general unless congress raises mini
mum wages above 50 cents.per hour.
There,' however, should be a smalL
but gradual, increase in the prices of
consumers for some time to come.
Housing: The cost of building will
continue to increase imtil there is
either a buyers’ strike or the unions
permit reasonable building codes and
the use Of modem methods such as
paint spraying, etc. At the moment,
the building trade unions havp the
American people by the throat. Some
day they will regret their present fool
ish actions.
