BY HAL BOYLE

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS
IN NORMANDY, July 7 - de-
layed) - up - The crossing of
the sluggish Wire river near St.
Jean De Daye-perhaps the
best and most heroic job by
American combat engineers in
France-began three months ago
in England.
Behind the successful fording
of this l00-foot river lies an I'M
usual story, illustrating the
thoroughpess- and courage
of these Woodworking soldiers
which enable them TO accomp-
lish their laborious battlefront
construction miracles.
The repair of a stone bridge
and the construction of a tread
way bridge nearby were COM
pleted under the direction of IL
Earle w. Mays Of Benton Har-
Dor, Mich. and others.
Standing by camouflaged
dugout, two engineers who help
ed plan and execute the job
described how bridges were
flung across the Wire river at
dawn three days ago under He'll
ish "88" fire-so that infantry
and armor could storm across
and take st. Jean De Daye.
They were Capt. Armand
Hewett, Ann Arbor, Mich, and
Capt. Palmer A. Hewlett of Port
land Ore. s.
This river gave us a fine
chance to show what we could
do" said Hewett.
ut didn't take us long to span
the river when work actually
started-we had four bridges
over in slightly more than six
hours-but we started preparing
three months ago back in Eng
land. We studied 'photo-recon'
maps of the area until we knew
every obstacle, every tree and
every terrain feature in the area.
The engineers selected the
best potential bridge sites and
began assembling supplies. When
word came that an attack was to
be launched after dawn. they
had everything ready in the as
sembling area, within easy
reach of the front.
Promptly at $50, black skies
were lit with flashes as Ameri-
can artillery opened a thunder
Gus barrage. At 4:30 doughboys
emerged from cover and tramped
to the waters edge. Already
waiting to ferry them across
were combat engineers, toiling
in knee deep mud.

ttess and -strueeled-in- their
sun-tonned arms for the free
dom to romp and run.
There were Joan Hechts
pair of beautiful kittens, wear
ing red-white and blue rib
hons; but they had no names
because Joan said they were
too young yet to be named.
and Donna and Caren
Shaugbough's dog "Mikie"
who they said wasn't old
enough yet to be called "Mike"
-. And that grand old per-
former, Gilletts' "Tippie",
wearing dark glasses and with
his age. ii years, inscribed
across his forehead, who again
won a ribbon this year >. ex-
hibited by Roger Gillett, 10.
There was Donald Dopp's
real own" Shetland pony, the
envy of all the boys and girls;
Don Places "Bondie' cat which
kept so far away from those
fierce looking dogs -. Every
one loved Joe Passendorfs null
ti-colored parrot, and "Chuckie'"
Bruneel's parrakeet was a seven
minute wonder at the show -.
Nine year-old Billy Whitsitt won
a prize for puppy that just
couldn't keep his eyes open, and,
in our opinion, should be called
Lazy Bones"
All in all it was great fun
. and you never saw such
a bunch of well cared-fOr
or better behaved pets.
A child will never mistreat
animals Cor humans either) once
it has known the love of a pet,
and has learned to treat that pet
with proper affection. The
world would be free of stray and
diseased dogs, mis-shapen mon
grels and harried starving ami
mails, if everyone could take a
lesson from the little boys and
girls who Rugged their dogs and
cats in their arms and proudly
exhibited them.
The Pet Show was splen-
did success -. and accom-
plished the high purpose for
which it was established-pro-
motion of the love of animals.

had to haul off a truck and three

They asked for it at 7;03, but
