Group’s B-17 Flying Fortress "Billie Louise”, recently assumed a different role when he flew with formations of the Eighth Air Force’s Third Air Division on a shuttle-flight to Linz, Austria, to return liberated Allied prisoners of war to their native countries. The flight to Austria was made at the low level of two thousand feet, and the combat airmen had an excellent opportunity to view the tremendous destruction upon the Nazi horde wrought by the incessant heavy bombing attacks on vital German war industries and transportation lines prior to V-E Day. Many famous cities, such as Cologne, Frankfurt and Nurnburg, once the pride of Germany, now lay exposed and I desolate, a skeleton of their former selves. S/Sgt. Strang’s Fortress landed at an airfield on the. outskirts of Linz, Austria, afid he immediately began to aid in the loading and handling of the long imprisoned Allied troops, many of them sick and injured.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, I SCIENTIST AT BOSTON Lasting world peace has its j roots in the permanency of di- ] vine laws and cannot be expect- i ed to rise from the foundations j of selfish desires and aims, The ] Christian Science Board of Di- i rectors told the annual meeting j of The Mother Church, The First j Church of Christ, Scientist, in i Boston, Monday. Commending the efforts of the i California peace conference to J evolve a practical basis upon ( which nations might outlaw war i for all time, the directors pointed j out that these efforts would be , successful— lnsofar ~as~they~refleet the operation of God’s govern- i J ment in human affairs. The directors’ message featur- j< ed the fourth annual gathering, of Christian Scientists to be held i under the restrictions of wartime I travel. The audience reflected; the desjre of the directors that i Mother Church members living j beyond the 50-mile area of Boston should abide by the reguests ' of the Office of Defense Trans-f portation and remain at home this year. Highlighting the meeting was the election of Mrs. Myrtle Holm ' Smith of Waban, Mass., as presi- j dent of The Mother Church for the ensuing year, succeeding Paul Stark Seeley, and the reelection of Roy Garrett Watson, Treasurer, and Mary G. Ewing. Clerk. It was announced that membership in The Mother Church was now four times greater than it was 35 years ago. Radio activities of The Mother Church have been extended, as the result of a weekly program launched over 18 stations, consisting of electrical transcriptions ! recorded from the auditorium of the church. These are broadcast throughout the United States and in Canada, Hawaii, and the Canal Zone. Demands for Christian Science literature continue to increase, according to the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy. Mrs. Eddy’s writings, for instance, were figured to have risen in sale 23 per cent from 1941 to 1942, 57 per cent in 1943, and 78 per cent in 1944. The total sales for the last year were said to be more than twice those of the last full pre-war year, 1940. MRS.
