story The facts are those Of
the Bible, plus what differences
can be drawn from geography
and archaeology.
Since Joshua was accepted as
prophet and since the Bible re-
cited his doings, il was long the

invasion target, historic Crete is
strikingly similar to Sicily, geo.

which is was invaded. The open

airborne troops.

But most of them are already
aware Of the peril 10 the ma

Especially the truck operators,

there is imminent danger TO the

The writer recently pointed
out that the industry was not

been made IN service mechanics
and skilled parts men that
hundreds of trucks are lying
