He is a member of Headquarters Bat- tery 107th Field Artillery Batta- lion. Since he has been away Pvt. Belgard has put on 20 pounds, and tells his friends Jhat Army life agrees with him. Miss Elizabeth Hand, public school nurse at Malone, has com- pleted her year's duties and re- turned to her home in Ogdensburg to pass the summer with her sister, Miss Alice Hand, R.N. * <$> PUBLIC FORUM <s>- -s> POLITICS Editor Journal: Here are further facts ahout po- litical endorsements: When the Democrats endorsed two Republi- can aldermen, they held over for four years, and Mayor Burns, when he came in as a Democrat, had a Republican council. And so it will be if the Democrats en- dorse three Republican aldermen this year, considering that the Democrats will elect a mayor in two years. There seems to be po- litical acumen in asking alderman- ic endorsements. AN OBSERVER ' HOME FRONT CASUALTY Buffalo, N. Y.—(AP) — Edward A. Vermling, 42, made two trips .overseas and participated in the North African campaign without injury. Honorably discharged from- the Army because of age, he fell Local Soldier Serves Mass For Archbishop Lt. Jack Scherer Decorated For Transport Flights Cpl. Alfred Ryan Corp. Alfred Ryan of the TJ. S. Army Engineers now stationed in Iran (Persia) in a recent letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Ryan, Main St., this city, told them about the visit of Archbishop Spellman to the U. S. Army camp in Iran where he is stationed. • He told them that he had the honor to serve mass for the Arch- bishop and after mass had a per- sonal interview with him. He said the ArchMshop was very kind and generous with his time and spoke with all the boys as though they were all his own. He told Cpl. Ryan to give his best regards to his father and mother and also to Msgr. Louis Berube who was act- ing head of the Ogdensburg Dio- ceses at the time Archbishop Spell- man was visiting the TT. S. Army in Iran. Cpl. Ryan also told his family about a bad sand storm they had recently gone through, but aside from that the weather was fairly good. Most of the boys he said, are learning to speak a little of the native language, but it is still very difficult to speak with the Persian or natives. \All the boys of our company are in good health and I have gained Weight,\ he said, \but- we are all lonesome as this coun- try and the people are entirely dif- ferent from home and the time cannot come too soon when we can all return to the good old USA and Northern New York.\ on a viaduct stair and his left leg. ^fractured Canton House Burns While Fire Truck Waits For Freight Train To Pass • Canton—•'While a double freight train held up one of the two fire trucks that wer6 on.the way to the scene of tsic accident, Mrs. Mildred Rees'* home on Pleasant St. in this village was being almost completely consumed by flames yesterday afternoon. . Two fire trucks answered the alarm that was sent in after a small explosion in the kerosene oil stove caused • the walls of the home to catch fire. Although one of the trucks was able to cross the Pleasant St. tracks, the second, Which had the ladder and most of the firemen on it had to wait until the seemingly endless train passed. When 'the true finally arrive* the flames had risen through the roof, and although the firemen. Worked diligently, Jiothing was left except the shell of the house; Clothing and &rniture were includ- ed in the estimated damage of $3,000. Mrs. Reese, who lived with her two daughters, had no fire insurance. The fire was believed to have started when one of the burners in the stove overflowed. Lieut. Jack Scherer First Lieut. John (Jack) Scherer, now with the Army Air Forces in the Far East, has been awarded the Air Medal and. the Distin- guished Flying Cross. Lieut. Scherer is well known in Ogdensburg where he has fre- quently visited. He is former co- pilot of the Gannett Newspapers planes and made many trips to St. Lawrence County. He judged a model airplane contest sponsorea by the Ogdensburg Journal here in 1938 and spent a day here then. There were more than 3,000 parti- cipants and spectators at the air- port at that time. He visited Ogdensburg in Febru- ! ary 1942 when he made a personal appearance at the Strand Theatre at the premiere of the moving pic- ture \Captains of the Clouds\ in which he did the flying for the hero James Cagney. At that time ', a Flying Officer in the Royal Can- I adian Air Force he was assigned !to do the flying for Cagney whom he closely resembled in this epic picture of the RCAF. H« was stationed at Roekcliffe Air Field, Ottawa, and was pilot for Air Mar- shal William (Billy) Bishop, the late Duke of Kent when he v'isi&d Canada, Lord Beaverbrook, Anth- ony Eden and for many other lead- ers of the Canadian-British war ef- fort. On the occasions of his fre- quent visits to Ogdehshurg he made many friends here who have watched his career with great in- terest. In 1940 Lieutenant Scherer ap- plied for commissions successively in the V. S. Army and Navy, but was turned down because he Was two years over the Army's 30-year age limit. Claiming he believed \so firmly in England's cause that I want to help right now,\ Lieutenant Scherer then left for service with, the RCAF. He was commissioned a flying officer, the RCAF equival- ent of his present rank, and as- signed to a bomber squadron later to 'pilot service for -Canadian and British war leaders^ He transfer- red to the American forces as a irirst Lieutenant in 1942. Before going to Rochester in 1939 as co-pilot of the newspaper planes Lieutenant Scherer was a member of the 102nd Observation Corps, New York National Guard, and as- sociate editor of Modern Mechanics magazine. His citation for the Distinguished Flying Cross reads: Lieut. John X,. Scherer, Air Corps, during the period Nov. 26,1942 to Feb. 20,1943, as pilot, participated in more than 50 op- erational flights in unarmed, heavily overloaded transport air- planes -through the combat zones of Upper Assam (India), Burma, and Southwest China, where ene- my air attack was probable and expected. These flights, requiring from 3 to 5 hours each, were fre- quently made on successive days, over the world's highest, rugi gedest, mountainous terrain, sub- ject to icing conditions, at alti- tudes seldom reached during average flying, over an area without, adequate navigational aids. Undaunted by the hazard's faced regularly and cpntinuouslyj Lieutenant Scherer performed his duties in such, a manner that the highest credit is reflected upon himself and the military forces of the United States.\ . . j; In a letter to Franklin R. Little, a long time friend, Lieut. Scherer writes that \I spent my last leaye at a 'show place' of India. Rested and gorged on steaks and ice cream. Met some interesting Brit- ish, folks. Since my medals were awarded f have run up my-opera- tional! flights over Burma and the Himalayas- to China to 90. Can my luck hold out? We'll have a riot to discuss if I. ever get back.. I pro- mise to visit you in Ogdensburg for a few days.\ • | Lieut. S,cherer piloted his' Flying Fortress from California across ll,- 000 miles of ocean to the south- west Pacific where he was in ac- tion before being assignee? to his present station to northeastern India.
