Dust-Streaked Soldiers Meet Red Cross At New Guinea
A truck carrying thirty dust-streaked soldiers stopped when the driver spotted a car with Leota Kelly from Austin Minnesota Margaret Dean of Frederick and Eleanor Gentry of Richmond Virginia. Red Cross workers were among the first American women the GIs had seen in over six months. CAP pilot William Penn Tidmore, 19, of Frederick, landed at an abandoned airstrip near Winchester Virginia after a rough runway prevented takeoff. The plane became airborne but struck a utility line, crash-landing and injuring Tidmore. He had just graduated Frederick High School and faced Army Air Corps induction in five days. Frederick welcomed its first Seeing Eye dog Omar to assist blind attorney C Clifton Wirts. Fifty opponents of the Sixes Bridge Dam conferred in Thurmont to organize political pressure. Frederick Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee expanded to include city, county, state and federal representation to discuss development near Frederick Airport. Ernest C Webb, who started at Cline's Furniture in 1916, retired after almost 57 years with no absences. Seven Frederick County students attended American Legion Girls State at the University of Maryland to learn about U S laws.
