Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Parry of Shasta received a letter Wednesday from their son, Harry R. Parry, written from Malang, Java, on Jan. 24, just two weeks before he was killed in action in a bomber over Java.
At that time Parry, a gunner in a B-17 bomber, was in a hospital recovering from a gunshot wound in the left arm and wrote that he hoped to be back in action shortly. The wound had earned him a promotion to sergeant.
Sgt. Parry was killed in action over Java on Feb. 8.
Sgt. Parry enlisted in the army about two years ago after graduating at Shasta union high school. He had helped ferry bombers to England, and had been stationed on the island of Trinidad before being sent to the Far East.

KILLED BY A SNOW PLOW
News reached Redding Wednesday evening that William Whiting, who had been working in the capacity of section boss for the company, was killed near Dunsmuir Wednesday morning. Whiting, who resided with his family at Smithson, went to the front to assist in clearing the track. It appears that he was standing on a pile of snow, near the track, when the engine and snow plow came around a curve. The snow being soft, he slid down on the track and, although he endeavored to get out of the way, was caught and run over, being fearfully mutilated. His body was taken seven miles to Dunsmuir on a sled, drawn by men on snow shoes. Further particulars we did not learn. William Whiting is well known in Shasta county, being at one time a deputy sheriff under Vet Hull. He was 48 years of age, a member in good standing of Shasta Lodge No. 71, A. O. U. W. His wife is a daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Eames of Redding.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT
The cause of death of Wm. C. Whiting is given by another party, as follows: The men had been digging trenches in the snow across the track, to better enable the snow plow to do its work. Whiting was in one of these trenches, unseen by the engineer, and did not hear the train until it was too late. It was also stated that roadmaster Joe Mott had his arm broken at the same time and place, being struck by the plow.
The body of Mr. Whiting lies at Dunsmuir and will be shipped here just
as soon as the road is open.
