PAGE FOUR 'Flaps,' Roving Canine Vet, : Conies Home Via Constable "(Flaps” is home again. He’s not a very good student, but he sure knows the ropes on sneak ing out—those Abh coeds have nothing on him. But Friday night he snuggled cozily up in the town constable’s arms and permitted himself to be taken home. A little blond cocker spaniel, with large wistful brown eyes, Flaps is the mascot of the Oxford House. He is ten months old and weighs about ten pounds. Any careful Collegian reader .undoubt edly noticed the want-ad for Maps in last week’s. issue. Re turned at last after.a.wild Penn State escapade .Flaps is settled down to his honored place at the •Oxford House Although he wasn’t mentioned in the recent priority .list, for reg istration, Flaps is .also, an ex-GI. His master, Jack Devlin, a former member of the .Army. Air Corps bought Flaps in. Pittsburgh. This was the beginning of life in the , Back In Mufti (Continued from- page two) Dropping in a • tree • with his "chute tangled in the branches, Walt was immediately captured’ by Hitler’s Home Guard and: si multaneously greeted by the neighboring Germans who had fathered to watch the spectacle. Almost immediately they started him off to Munster where he was Kept in a cell for two days, and then sent to Frankfurt-on-Maine, n large interrogation center. The arrival of five American airmen— alive—was only aggravated by the boldness with which they sang “Right in Der Fuehrer’s Face” in the train station. And, no need to gay, the interrogation went unan swered. After Frankfurt came a five day stay at Wetzler, a transient camp, Where the gunner waited to be shipped to Stalagluft No. 4, a prison camp near Keifheide. Here •two not-so-bad months were spent. ■But the worst was to come, and Walt tells the story himself from 3j ere on. “I was one of the fortunate men who ha'd a boxcar for a destination in the interior of Germany. The Russians were coming too close for Nazi comfort, and we had to move to Nurentourg..Most of the men at Luft No. 4 walked until the end .of the war. ‘After two months in Nuren lmrg, the prisoners of war had to be evacuated because of the ap proach of the American Seventh Army On April 29, 1945, liberating American forces began to appear, and after a short clash with the German SS, the American flag, was raised over Mooseburg. • Im mediately the barbed wire/'fences came down and the POW’s were just American Gl’s once again. .—Lynn Jacobson Air Corps for the pup. iHis first plane hop was on a B-24 from Pittsburgh to Ellington Field, Texas. And does Flaps like flying! When the motors be gin to purr he. jumps up, wags his tail, and barks like fury but as soon as he climbs into the plane he curls up beside Jack and goes to sleep. Flaps is a real he-man when it comes to food. His favorite dish is “pork chops” but he’ll settle for a steak once in awhile.
