Carl Proctor, chair of the Erie County Agricultural War Board, says the move supports wartime production and notes several deferrals may be canceled after review. Six Japanese nationals are already working in the county, prompting protests from local farmers worried about harvesting and labor sources.

Warren Road Bill Passes Jamestown Warren Road Bill Passes Jamestown
A six year fight for the Stillwater to Warren Pennsylvania Line highway neared reality as bills cleared both chambers and go to Governor Dewey for signature. The plan would connect Jamestown and Warren, with Keystone action promised to improve its share of the route. Sponsored in the Assembly by Herman Magnuson and in the Senate by George H. Pleres, the measure amends highway law to allow state take over of Kiantone Road as a link, bypassing Prewshinty Meadville. In a separate report, Deputy Coroner Dr. Samuel Gottlieb ruled asphyxiation by gas fumes accidental in the death of Mabel Woodward.

Jamestown Flier Saves Fort Crew in Flight Over Germany
Jamestown airman Tech Syl Merritt F. Andrews, a holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medals, helped save the bomber crew of the “Mr. Smith” by repairing a critical reserve gasoline valve while the aircraft wheeled at twenty thousand feet above Germany. His daring act likely saved the crew and the mission after the valve failed. Andrews is noted for over 25 bombing raids on Reich targets with the Eighth Air Force.
