"B0MBER'S MOON"
 K THRILL FEATURE
 AT 20TH CENTURY

If you're looking for an adven- ture film-chock full of thrills and suspense-you'l do we'll to take in "Bombers Moon" the new 20th Century-Fox hit at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre.
 The theme is well-chosen, timely land admirably worked out: An American bomber, after completing its mission over Germany, is shot down in German held territory. The pilot, George Montgomery, still in the plane, sees his younger bro ther, the bombardier, helplessly drifting to earth, machine-gunned by Nazi flyer. The plane cracks up and Montgomery, only slightly injured is capturtd and placed in a prison camp. Here with the aid of l a Russian doctor-none other than trim Annabella--he effects an es- cape.
 Their tortuous progress, replete with unsuspected pitfalls, is brought before your eyes. From the camp they go to the city of Frankfort then down the Rhine to Holland and finally well, to say more would tend to spoil your enjoy ment of the picture. But it is, with out a doubt, one of the most excit- ing pictures of the year-the. ten sion mounts with every passing scene as the inhuman efficiency of Fthe Gestapo drag-net closes in on the hunted couple.

COMPARATIVE DATA

Total precipitation, extreme or normal, 1017 inch; city office 1944. 500 inch; airport, 3.69 inch.
 Last month brief description of the wooden shelters which are used to expose the thermometers which record the measurement of the temperature of the air was given. The measurement of temperature is made by the use of tested ther- mometers. The maximum tempera-. ture is recorded on the maximum thermometer. The thermometer is filled with mercury and resembles a fever thermometer in construc- tion. The minimum temperature is recorded on a thermometer filled with alcohol and is called a mini mum thermometer. A third type of thermometer known as an exposed thermometer is filled with either alcohol or mercury. By placing a piece of linen tubing over the bulb of one exposed thermometer and wetting the cloth with pure water and comparing the readings of this thermometer with a second exposed thermometer, the amount of mois- ture in the air can be obtained. This comparison is made after whirling to cause evaporation of the water on the tubing placed on the first thermometer.
 A continuous record of tempera- ture is made on calibrated sheet which is placed on a revolving drum. This instrument is known as thermograph.

CABIN RESIDENTS WELCOME ALLIED TROOPS WITH JOY
 AT LIBERATION OF CITY
By WILLIAM WHITE
CAP. War COrrespondent)

CABIN. France - The people of Caen Cthose who were left) shouted and sometimes even cried with joy in the filtered streets of this city last Sunday night as Allied troops nailed the greatest victory since Cherbourg.
 l entered the city Sunday after noon to find a moving welcome to me because l was an American.
 Fighting was still going on just southeast of the center of the city. Already French civilians were clear ing the wreckage from the heavily damaged city.
 I came on two others, Capt. Ray ment of Montreal and Alan Woods of the London Daily Express. We were astonished to find ourselves treated as a sort of Allied delega- tiOn.
 Looking into the French faces here no one could doubt the spon- taneous exultation of these people.
 We sat low in jeep as firing broke out intermittently. The first civilian We saw was an old woman with stiff, bristling gray hair, red face and pugnacious chin. There were tears in her eyes, but her face was an enormos smile. She thrust her hand upward in the most em- phatic thumbs-up salute I've ever seen.
 It was like that all the way to the middle of the city. We had not gone a block before an old man in a blue smock rushed forward and handed us a brown paper package of cherries hurriedly snatched from his trees.
 American, American"
 Thirty French men and women were gathered before the cathedral. At first they thought I was with the Red Cross, but I told them, "Journaliste' my idea of French. I showed them the U. s. patch on my shoulder. They pressed forward and patted me, crying American, American.
 felt embarrassed by all this and hurriedly pointed to Wood, say ing, English, English, then to Capt. Payment, saying, Canadian. Canadian" A great hullabaloo broke out. There was more noise than I ever heard 30 people make before The central idea they were

DOUGHBOYs GO ON BICYCLE SPREE TO CELEBRATE FALL
 OF FRENCH TOWN

LA HAVE DU PUTS, France Infantrymen skylarking on captured bicycles as Geranm shells whistled overhead gave military police a traffic problem in this blitzed yil- lage, which tankmen and dough boys took Sunday after six days of relentless, bloody battling.
 As the doughboys took over there were still sounds like a Fourth of July celebration Rifles cracked from parts of the town as cleanup squads mopped up the last of the snipers. Spiteful German 6os whistled and cracked occasionally among the blasted dwellings. send ing showers of debris into the streets.
 This village. main anchor of the Nazf western defense line, was devastated by a rocking artillery and aerial bombardment before the doughboys took over.
 There was nothing moving in the deserted ruins except erouching doughboys and five young screw balls whizzing around the town on German bicycles, needless of the oc- casional sniper bullets. This was their day to celebrate They found a bottle of cognac in an enemy dugout and made the most of it.
 Moving cautiously, mopping up squads ran into Sergeant John Strouss, returning from a sniper hunt. He told of a tactic used in a desperate attempt of the Hitlerites to hold open a supply channel.
 Most of the snipers held fire until We got to the center of the town, then they cut loose all at once. We never could tell where to find those babies" he said. Some even had been hiding in big chim- neys of old houses to take a pot shot and then drop back into the chimneys."
 Lieut.. Col. Lerette said, "The Germans were able to stand under the shelling and bombing because of the depth and strength of heir shelters. They would go inside dur ing the bombardment, then come out ready to catch our infantry moving in after the shelling had lifted Hopping up was something of a job. The Germans were ex- tremely tricky. We would clean one house, then Nazis would slip into it from another side. They knew the town backwards and forwards. It was slow going to root them out" "
