The Lobo Tank Busters
By: Stan Jordan
On today’s mission we had a ball in the area of Renanange, France! We came upon a convoy of old German tanks. I think they were used Rommel in North Africa, maybe called the M10. They were in a column retreating towards Belgium. These tanks only had about 2” of armor in the front and less than that on sides.
It was fun. My first rocket hit the tank and knocked the turret clean off. I went past the column and made a full circle while some of the boys hit some more of the tanks.
Then we came at them again and I hit another with a rocket. The pieces of the tank flew all over the place. I had used up all of the rockets and so far had gotten two tanks.
I made a big circle and gained altitude and came down on the rear of the next German tank and put round after round in his engine area. It finally caught fire and the black smoke started pouring out with the flames.
We made a big circle and came at them from the front.
All the tanks were destroyed or burning. There were trucks and some other vehicles and a command car in the line. We shot up all the targets that we saw. We rendezvoused at about 500 ft. and discussed the situation.
Eight tanks were destroyed along with a truck and a fuel tanker and a command car along with a couple of motorcycles with sidecars.
We were running low on ammunition and decided to head back to our base in Anthony, France. We sat in the barracks and talked about our good luck today.
Man, what a wonderful mission. We will all sleep good tonight!
See ya!
Talk about Confusion

I am so mixed up, I don’t know how to start. For the last 75 years, I have been told that using marijuana is not only bad for you, but also illegal. I read in the newspaper where the secretary of the State of Ohio has used 6600 words to describe Issue 3 for the fall state election. That is an issue to make using marijuana legal for recreational and medical uses.
Now, that is down right thigh slapping funny, to think that folks are going to use “Wacky Weed” for medicine!
Now it’s funny to think that our government has spent millions, yes, millions of dollars to eradicate and destroy this plant.
Now, we are to vote on whether to allow some potheads to legally use dope. To think that everyone will use it only legally will be downright hilarious. Some people say they are making its use legal because the courts don’t punish the users anyhow.
I have yet to be told or explained how someone has been made well or recovered from using marijuana. I understand that there will be 10 places in Ohio where it will be legal to grow and buy the plant. This is ridiculous to think it will be handled straight and above board. There will also be a governing board to look after it all—a CEO and helper, secretary and a guard for each farm and an assistant to each guard for vacations, sick leave, etc. New trucks must be purchased to transport the marijuana and new buildings for the office work. Heat, lights, taxes, and insurance will also need to be paid. Lawyers and legal people and our own medical staff. There is no end of the government operation all at taxpayers’ expense.
A phrase that Ben Franklin stated, “Look well to your ballot.”
This is the opinion of the writer and not the West Bend News.

There was a little old lady, who every morning, stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted: “PRAISE THE LORD!”
One day an atheist moved into the house next door. He became irritated at the little old lady. Every morning he’d step onto his front porch after her and yell: “THERE IS NO LORD!”
Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.
One morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch and shouted: “PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Lord!”
The next morning she stepped out onto her porch and there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.
“PRAISE THE LORD!” she cried out. “HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!”
The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted: “THERE IS NO LORD; I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!”
The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted: “PRAISE THE LORD! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!”
