view regarding relief that they have on all French civilian matters: The French themselves must be respon- sible on purely internal questions. Tn practice, the Allied civil affairs units are authorized to sell French municipalities a few vitally needed items like mems shoes (S5.75 per pair), chocolate and flour. But stocks currently available here don't begin to meet the need.
 The majority of the French have accepted the situation with an un- derstanding which is all but unbe- lievable. Their attitude was summed up in the Bastille Day speech by the mayor of devastated St. Sauveur Le Vicornte. Standing In front of the single remaining wall of what used to be the town hall. he told the as-

The civilian problem being ere. ated by this devastation is ap- palling.
 The worst need is for clothes Tn towns like Caen and La Haye Du Puits. where an estimated 10 per cent of the buildings still stand, % per cent of the people now pos- sess whatever clothes they happen ed to be wearing when they fled their homes. Even before the des- truction of his home. the average Norman considered himself well. heeled if, after four years of oc- cupation, he owned one pair of leather shoes for Sunday in addi- ton to a single pair of wooden sabots he wore daily
 FOOD AND SHELTER
 Food and shelter problems are somewhat less pressing, because many people have friends or rel- atives in the country with whom they can live. With the exception of bread-which occupies the same importance at the French table that hot dogs do at an American ball park-there is currently a surplus of dietary imperatives here.
 The Provisional French Govern ment Is lending municipalities mini- mum sums to enable the homeless and poverty-Stricken people to eat. The size of the Provisional Govern ment's resources is not clear here as it is not yet definitely known whether American recognition of the Provisional Government enables it to draw on the large French gold re- serves at Fort Knox.

 he hopes to be able to do before the armistice is to get small amounts of tar paper and beaver board for roofing the few buildings which eventually are restorable. PLAN TO REBUILD
 After the war he expects France to be rebuilt on plans made in Paris with the advice of local archi- tects and municipal officials.
 The reason for the complete devastation of the cities here lies in the Norman road system. The few highways suitable for the Al- lies road-hogging mechanized mon- sters all run through the center of the main towns, thereby making it militarily impossible to bypass and spare the cities. It is also uTl- doubtedly true that too many green lanyard-happy artillerymen have pulled a couple times more than necessary.

met a man the other day, Whose brow was creased and hair was gray, He worked so hard to get ahead, He studied days and read in bed He saved each nickel that he earned And cataloged the things he learned. He had no time to play or rest To learn of life with all It's zest. He failed to note the fleeting years That grayed the hair that framed his ears, But piodded on through the sun and rain. The fight for wealth had drenched his brain. He never saw the restless brook, Nor did he know the shaded nook, The shaded nook where nature dwelt. The joy of gold was all he felt. You may have guessed the rest. my friend; He struggled on until the end, The moral to this tale is old: Watch every bud of life unfold!

Editor, Tall Tower Topics. I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all in Water town who have in any way helped in connection with the Fifth War Loan Drive for the sale of bonds. While Watertowns figures have not reached the amount the town aimed for feel the town has been properly and thoroughly canvassed and that would have sold many bonds than quota called for were it not for the fact that so many buying bonds through their place of employment feel, however the people of Watertown have had an opportunity to buy bonds and that is of the most important features in con- nection with the drive.
