' PHONE DALLAS ~ Telephone-Dallas 117-R-16 "PAGE EIGHT Dallas Mourns Passing Of Rev. A. L. Prynn (Continued from Page One) both joined the! Wyoming Confer- ence we roomed together at one Conference session. In the confid- ence of our friendship he told some of his war experiences which vet- erans do not usually tell the public. I had noticed a difference in him since the war. In his student days he had been diffident, uncertain, not strong of conviction in things of religion, hesitant like one whose religion was more a matter of in- heritance than of experience. Now -he was poised, confident, incisive in speech, sure of God and ready to speak forthrightly for and about Him. I wanted to know what had made the difference. He told me he had found God in the trenches of Europe. For hours at a stretch wearing a gas mask he had passed wounded men from the field on to their hospital beds. - Because there was no chap- lain in his outfit he was sometimes asked to hold religious services. He was attached to the Wesleyan Hos- pital unit. He abhorred war. . Once I said to him, “Austin, it must give you some comfort to know that your work in the war was not to Kill but to do works of mercy.” His reply in characteristic realism was, “Not so much, Charlie, for we were told that our business was to get the wounded out of the way for the infantry to move up, and after that to take care of them.” There is a Jew in business in Scranton who was a buddy of Austin’s in / that war. This Jew told me of his high respect and friendship for Prynn, because Prynn always treated him like a humaa being! Austin was like that. # Prynn at the front, once received a shrapnel wound in his shoulder. At one time when the other boys were somewhat jittery Prynn was asked to go into the firing line with them to help to keep up their morale. Face to face with suffer- ing, horror and death, God be- came an abiding reality with him.” Rev. Prynn was born October 19, 1895, at Jermyn. His father was Anthony B. Prynn and his mother Ellen Coon Prynn. In his early boyhood the family moved to Scranton where he was educated in the public schools. He continued his education in Wyoming Semi- nary and Wesleyan University and Funeral Services Held For Shavertown Woman The funeral of Mrs. Clementine Gough, Shavertown, who died Wed- nesday afternoon, February 21, in Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, was held Saturday at 2, from the home of her daughter in Kingston.

Szela, Dallas, who shot down an Oscar (Jap fighter) over the Phil- ippines on December first as re- ported in The Post last week, also bagged a Nick (twin-engined fight- er) over northwest Borneo on the sixteenth of the same month. Lieutenant $Szela’s second kill came as he was leading a flight from the 13th AAF Fighter Com- mand’s Dirty Dozen unit covering eight P-38 Lightnings strafing Jap- held Jesselton airdrome. Other 13th fighters shot down two Japan- ese Lilys (twin engined bombers) in the action. “I was leading a flight of three P-38's at 8,000 feet over the air- field,” related Lieutenant Szela in describing the action, ‘when I heard somebody call in a bogey over the radio. “At first I couldn’t see anything, but finally I spotted what looked like a Nick about 4,000 feet below me. “As I dived down, the Jap ap- parently saw me and headed for a cloud. He went in, but it wasn’t thick enough to hide him so he headed for another close by. “I had just enough time to give him two short bursts—one into each engine. They both flamed.” Lieutenant Szela’s element lead- er, Lieutenant Marvin H. Smith of Denison, Texas, reported that the Nick went up in a big ball of flame with just the wing tips visible be- fore the Jap went down. While Lieutenant Szela and Dirty Dozen mates were providing cover, the 13th’s White Knights were giv- ing the field below a working over. Coming in low from behind a small hill the eight P-38s took the Japs by complete surprise. They shot one Lily down just as it was taking off and sent a second crash- ing in the water at the end of the strip. Two twin-engined bombers on the field's revetments were shot up. : So complete was the surprise that the raiding fighters reported seeing several Jap pilots in flying suits standing around the buildings as they came over the field. One startled Nip slow rolled from the wing” of a bomber being serviced when he saw a Lightning striking his way. Lieutenant Szela was airborne for eight hours on the 1,700 mile mis- sion. His ship had to carry extra detachable gas tanks to make the trip. Lt. Szela is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Szela of Dallas R.F.D. 3 Kiwanis Inducts Two New Members Prof. Wesley E.

The increased demand by indus- try and the losses through Selec- tive Service will leave fewer men and boys over 16 for farm work than last year. For that reason, farmers should begin planning now to utilize boys, and make arrange- ments in ample time to have those boys on the farm when they are needed. Wilson A. Cease, Farm Labor Assistant, said that many farmers could get many jobs done much easier by carefully planning their operations, and often rearranging the job. He suggests that more farmers utilize boys by having them live right on the farm, as soon as school closes. Now is the time to get in contact with these boys and make definite plans for the late spring and sum- mer months. If these boys have no definite place lined up long be- fore the work actually begins, they will be grabbed by industry and agriculture may suffer. Anticipating farm labor needs early also will aid in recruiting sufficient help to meet the de- mands. The Emergency Farm Lab- or Program is being arranged for this year, and the sooner antici- pated needs can be determined, the quicker recruiting can begin. Sunday Services Laymen Conduct As part of the nationwide Meth- odist observance of Layman’s Day, all services on the Carverton-Mount Zion-Orange Circuit last Sunday, were conducted by laymen of the three churches. They were planned by Charge Lay Leader G. Wesley Lewis and church Lay Leaders Charles Parrish, Carverton, Nelson Lewis, Mount Zion and George La- Barr, Orange.
