My wounds .are healing line but my right arm seems to be affected by the shock, the bullet entering my right side just below the ribs, although two ribs were broken some way. A great quantity of pus was taken out each day from the wound, hut afterwards I was re­ lieved from suffering. * “There [is an American sleeping alongside of me - that had been “gassed," and he developed pneumon­ ia. He is am interesting fellow. to talk to. I hear from other boys who were wounded and sick. I believe God saved me from an awful death a t the hands of the Huns. After J was wounded I lay on “No Man's Land” two or three hours afraid to move much, so I kept digging a hole and shoving tho dirt up in front of me so that they could not see me. “After being" there a while some­ thing seemed to tell me to get up and get out of tlmre, that danger was coming. I drew up my legs to see if I could use them. I left my helmet on the pile of dirt and jumped and. ran the first opportunity. Just then a bunch of our boys went over the top, and thinking the Huns would go after them I had clear sailing for our lines. Roy, my brother, and some other boys wrapped me in blankets and sent for a stretcher, after giving first aid. After being carried some distance then I rode in an ambulance and was put on a train for the hospital, This evening two' young pretty nurses were fixing my bed and one had to hold me, for I had no use of my arms. She wanted me to pu t my arms around her to help hold me up, but I could not do it. Oh! for the time when I can use my arms better, Carl Q. Duncan, No. 9 General Hospital, ” B. E. F., Ward 4. EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM Pi H. CRESWELL. K . r r & H a s t i n g s B r o s . W . L .

Creswell in writing to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gres well, gives some account of lus exper­ ience in training a t the aviation camp in Italy. In hs letter dated Feb. 1? he states that he has made- 13 flights out of the eighteen required and that he was through the hardest.part.,. The first four were circles of 'the ,camp with no stunts, and then came quarter turns. Yo'u climb 900 feet and cut motor and glide a t right angles, admission is 28c, which includes the lauding a t 300 feet, making a quick turn and land. No bank is required, and generally \ I have time to use rud­ der alone in making turn. We next do four turns ahd glide to 300.feet and a complete tu rn-and land in opposite direction of the glide. In some cases we have to' do 65 per­ cent banks and when you go past 45 the controls reverse and' the rudder becomes the elevator and vice-versa. I t is here that we have to do quick thinking, the danger being in a slide slap and it’ takes a lot of nerve to get Her up on. her-ear," as the boys say. • < it ■ You next climb to 11500 feet and cut and glide in direction of landing .to 1200 leet then a half turn and glide again ,and so on. When we get to 3500 feet we are required to do “8's,” but this is over a special field We then have a joy ride of 45 minutes at' any height up’ to- 3,500 f t 't . ■ The March 9th letter tells of exlii bitions of. a noted Italian flyer in fast plane. We expect this kind of plane a t the front. We did everything that was possible and some thngs thought impossible. In the letter of March 29 he writes that some of the boys in his school will undoubtedly see action in the present battle on the front. I t is re­ gretted that the decisive battle of the war is to be fought before we are ready. So fa r reports for success at the fron t don’t look good. Yet you no dbubt get the news before we do. On April 10 Paul tells about a new Y, M. C. A. secretary, a young preach e r that the boys like, well. There are no English speaking churches there and so fa r as known only one in Rome More English Episcopalians over in this section. Tne only Presbyterian preacher I.have met is in a French Escadrille and has brought '.own three machines. 1 used to know him in West Virginia and met him in Na­ ples. Really it is surprising to know how many Christian boys we have here. The best kind of a flyer is a Caproni and 1 am going to try and get one of these machines. Eventually I think bombing will win the war and they are giving them training here now The’outcome of ths drive will change everything, Some of the boys are taking seven days leave now, but I have seen all of Italy I care about and may take mmc in France.

Parks Jackson for mam cars a minister in the U, P , ; denomination, and one of our most highly respected citizens. The deceased had been ill for sev­ eral weeks following an attack of the grip la s t. winter that left him in a weakened condition. For the past five or six years lie has made his home "here, his birthplace. Rev. Jackson was 82 years of age and the son of David and Nancy Jackson and received liis early edu­ cation in the public schools here. He has been in the V . P. ministry since early mafthood having had charge at Erie, Pennsylvania, Greenfield, Ohio, Strpnghurst, Illinois, where he min­ istered long and faithful to his peo­ ple. Rev. Jackson married Margaret Frazer, a sister of A, S, Frazer, of Xenia, and she suhvivtm with three children, Miss Bertha tit home, Stuart a t Columhus, and Mrs. Mable White- man, of New Jersey. As a historian this township prob­ ably never had a better one. Rev. Jackson possessed a remarkable memory and he loved to dwell in the thoughts of the years past. During our past centennial celebration and dedication of our new school building^ Rev. Jackson took a prominent part and the present g neration owes much to his remarkable memory for the history of the town and ‘schools to this date. I t was- only within the past few months that L.s memory be­ gan to fail him. Having time a t his disposal pre­ vious to his death, he made written instructions regarding his funeral and burial and the family carried these out so far as it was possible. Thefuneral services were held in the U; P. church and Rev. McMichael had charge. Dr. W. R. McChcsiiey read the scripture followed with prayer by Rev. Patton. Others who had part were Rev. Lorrimer, of Greenfield, and Dr. J, G. Carson, of Xenia, Dr. Joseph Kyle of the Xenia seminary, who had been asso­ ciated with Rev. Jackson in early life paid an excellent tribute to his life and faithful ministry. I t was his plain, simple-, earnest and honest way that won the hearts of those about him. As a student in music' he was unexcelled and his whole heart was in it. Much of the music of today among- the older people was inspired by the deceased in the public schools. See-, ing that his efforts, for the Master could no longer be continued due to advancing years, he longed to return 'o his native place where he contin­ ued to enjoy the blessings of God and fellowship of neighbors and friends until the last. The musical numbers were all ar­ ranged by tho deceased, one of special interest being “Saved by Grace," as sung by Mr, R, G. Gporge and daugh­ ter, Marian, of Jamestown. ' ' - ‘ ‘ ' ’ S' ' - - ' * Burial took place on the family lot in Massiea Creek cemetery where a large number of relatives and friends paid their last respects, a t the earthly resting place, Rev* Jackson wrote many lines for the Herald th a t touched on historical facts concerning the village. For sen­ timent and beauty of thought they were ideal. His writing always at­ tracted the public and no doubt more than one book of rcminlscenses con­ tains clippings Of his writings. At .the time the Herald came under the present management, nineteen years ago last month, Rev. Jackson was car­ rying an extended history of the U. P. church in these columns. He was writing as “SENEX” and it was many weeks l&fforo those following that interesting record were able to know the author* ma NOTICE Don’t fall to See the display of our soldier boys pictures in the photographic case a t the entrance of the Bank building.
