'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

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

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.

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.

“I’m only taking 12 hours of
classes,” says Ginny, “and those
12 hours are about the only time
I spend on campus. TTf.e rest of
the time I spend" out at the air
port.” ■/
Ginny believes that her license
will come in handy in her new
work, for she expects to fly‘ to
various air meets in conjunction
with her magazine work.’ Also
the Piper Company has an adja
cent air port where it allows its
employees to put in their flying
time- at cost. '
“Few people are given a chance
to combine their careers and hob
bies quite so easily,” says Ginny.
