mitchell FIELD, N. Y, Aug. 10
Ground markers emblazoned
by rural NTH columnists with
plows and other farm imple-
ments to guide enemy bombers
to vital objectives have been dis
covered by Army air observers
and destroyed.
Danger to large Eastern airports
and plane factories to which the
markers pointed thus has been
averted, Col. Dache M. Reeves, COM
manding the first ground air sup
port unit of the 1st Air Force, said
IN making the disclosure yesterday
proper action" was taken by
Army intelligence officers and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Col. Reeves said, without announc-
ing the fate of those who fashioned
the ingenious markers visible only
from the air.
Markers Photographed.
Aerial photographs of the mark
ers. the location Of which was de-
scribed only as in the eastern part
Of the United States, showed sew
eral clear instances OF how enemy
agents or sympathizers sowed into
peaceful farmlands potential devices
to aid destruction.
One Of the cleverest markers, ac-
cording to the Air Force announce
ment, was an arrow pointing di-
rectly at an Eastern air base and
made by clearing a section of earth
IN the shape Of "V" at the head
Of natural footpath.
In another photograph, a man.
moth arrow created by a pillow was
aimed directly at nearby airplane
factory. A huge field had been fur
rowed except for an arrow shaped
portion Of untouched land remain
ing dark and clearly visible against
the lighter plowed part.
Still another air view showed
dozens of empty grain sacks osten-
sibly left carelessly in an open field
but actually arranged carefully in
q pattern forming an enormous fig
ure ''9," with the tail of the 20"
perfect guide pointing at plane
factory.
"Treacherous Mark Erased"
"You can rest assured" said Col.
Reeves. that although / can't tell
you where or when these pictures
were taken, the treacherous work
they exposed has been erased. The
same technique will help us expose
the enemy in the battles to come"
The disclosures emphasized the
work of the ground air support COM
mands, the first of which was acti-
waited as recently as September, 1941.
Those commands support ground
troops in two main objectives-to
spy out the enemy's ground forces
and to furnish combat aviation for
our own ground forces.

 It wasn't a cheerful ride. Tom was silent and surly, and Enid was married by a sense of guilt. She wasn't accustomed of feeling that she had behaved badly - and she knew she had to Tom.
 She had also uneasily aware of the secret hope beating deep in her heart. A shameful hope that she wouldn't admit even to her. self, but that was there as she said her constrained goodby to Tom, when at last they reached the un- pretentious little frame house on Elm street.
 A hope that quickened the tempo of her blood while she took a quick bath and brushed her hair until it gleamed like pale gold, and fixed it carefully in the new way Hank Holiday had ad- mired.

too tired to swim had been only an excuse. The truth of 1t was, she dreaded being alone with Tom.
 It was half city block to the lake front from the cottage oc- cupied temporarily by the Shar- ons. Then one had a choice of scrambling recklessly down a steep bank, or walking another two squares to the resort hotel and going down the steps there to the boat pier.
 Tom elected the path down the bank. He helped Enid and then, still holding her hand. raced her through the shallow breakers that were dashing lazily on the sandy beach. The water was cold, de- spite the hot August sun beating down on 1t.
 When she caught her breath, Enid turned over on her back and fioated. Tom struck out with hts vigorous crawl stroke and swam out into the lake gnal his head was a mere bobbing speck on the green water. Then he turned and came back to her, the water foam ing from the drive of his strong arms.
 He looked at Enid and grinned, There were white circles under her eyes now where a few min- utes before there had been shad- oWs, and the rest of her face was turning beautiful scarlet. He laughed, Wed better get out and dry or you'll be paFbolled,"
 She followed him up the sandy beach 10 the foot Of the bank where some gerubby trees threw a thin shade, She sat down on the yellow sand and shook her hair free from the cap, Tom Topped on his stomach beside her, watching her, Enid met his eye and then looked away,

tainly Enid had had no premedi- tated intention of uttering it. But as she said it, her decision was made. She was too tired to go on pretending; to go on trying to fool Tom-and herself.
 Tom eyed her incredulously What do you mean, you don't want a ring?" The truculence faded from his voice. You haven't changed your mind, have you?"
 She didn't want to hurt Tom But - how was she going to tell him? Tears rose to her eyes, and she struggled against them. She mustn't cry. She mustn't make Tom sorry for her.
 Puzzled, he watched her for a moment. Then he reached ovei and pulled her against him with pjroprietary and gentle motion Enid caught her breath.
 'I guess you know how you feel honey" he said soothingly. "You've been through a lot and you're tired and upset. shouldn't have started taking about our engagement. only meant that If you'd rather have the loan of the money now instead of a ring"

TRUE CONFESSION CHAPTER XIV

Tum gave . dismayed whistle. Good heavens, girl, what have you been doing to yourself? You look as if you'd lost 10 pounds"
 Ends face was white and drawn, and in Letty's house dress, two sizes too big for her, she ac- tually looked as if she had shrunk.
 She smiled wanly. "Oh, I'll be all right-now."
 It had been a hard week. Nom had been strong enough to go home the day after her thrilling rescue, but she refused to leave the hospital until she had been assured that someone would be with Pop every minute.
 And upon Enid had fallen the burden of keeping that promise. For Lefty had her babies to take care of, and Aunt Faye was too mindful of her own comfort to spend many tedious hours by a sick mans bedside.
 Not that Enid complained. She was thankful that her father was alive to receive care and atten- ton.
 So she had stayed with him faithfully. sleeping propped up in a rocking chair in his room, and only twice during the week had left the hospital to come out to the cottage to bathe and change clothes.

Trend of the Times

According to the papers Democrats of this city are abandoning the old-time DO litical rally this year. Well, it's probably time that the major political parties got away from the "days when" and brought their campaigns up to date Actually this really has been done in the last few years for most of the campaigning is done over the radio with little or no effort made to attract audiences to public halls to hear candidates. It isn't worth the effort any more, because there is too much compe- tition today for the platform speaker.
 In a year like the present one when very few people outside of the organized political groups are evincing any interest 1n candidates or issues it's good sense not to attempt to force ones attentions on the public True candidates for public ot- flee must make themselves heard on var ious topics, for if they didn't there'd be no way of deciding between them. AS matter of fact the majority of voters don't decide between candidates but par ties. So on the basis of what has been taking place of recent years and what we may expect this year we'd say the Demo crats were well-advised in abandoning the old type of rally, attended customarily by the candidates relatives, close friends, and the organizations official family.

Hard Winter Ahead?

The amateur weather prophets are hard at it. Already we have been assured of long, hard winter. We'll, if this winter is anything like the one we went through in the First World War, it'll be hard one. Few of Us will forget the snow and the zero temper atures that prevailed throughout the win ter of 1917-18 and for the next few years after that. There was long period of years about then when winter began with a blast at Thanksgiving time and con tinued well into March.
 However, it isn't because the prophets expect the weather to run in cycle and this current war to produce severe win ters that the prediction is offered. No, there is school of prognosticatorS which always watches for the autumnal and ver- nal equinoxes. The prevailing winds at the moment the sun crosses the equator is supposed to determine the prevailing winds for the following six months. When the autmunal equinox occurred last week the prevailing winds were declared to be northerly, SO cold weather is predicted.
 Oddly enough the prevailing winds in this section of the country are apt to be northwesterly, particularly during the fall and autumn. When they shift we get our periods of stormy weather. But it won't be unusual to have the wind con- stantly in this quarter for a long spell of fair weather from now on. Nor will it be unusual to get long; hard winter. We don't hope or wish for one, in view of re- strictionS on fuel oil, but on the basis of the weathe4 of the past few winter sea- sons it might be logical to expect the worst and accept what comes as typical of New England weather.
