The Invasion Is On

Liberty-loving people all over the world
were electrified early Tuesday morning,
when the news was flashed that Allied inva-
sion forces had landed in France The con-
quered millions Of Europe have special cause
for rejoicing for they have learned during
the past -four years what ensavement means.
The thousands Of young colored Americans
who are among the invasion forces, fighting,
bleeding and dying to liberate those enslaved
peoples, also know what is means to be OPP
pressed.
Fortwo and half centuries, our forefa-
Tiers endured in America the most cruel
form Of human enslavement. Lincolns

cal chains at the close Of the Civil War, but

tiers Of illiteracy which bound US still remain

Water Faucets
Spout Oil in
Illinois Home

AURORA, Ill, rug. Is. UP)-
Mr.. and Mrs. II. C. Bivin struck oil
IN their home by turning on water
faucet.
Oil flowed when Mrs. Bivin drew
water to wash the dishes. Every
faucet in the house yielded oil for
36 hours, then the domestic gusher
stopped.
Prof. Clarence r. Smith of the
Aurora College geology department,
said it really was oil and Dr. Curtis
Singleterry, he d of the college
chemistry department, began fur
ther tests.
The Bivin home, two miles north
of Aurora, has its own electric
pump and a 240-foot well and Bivin
believed recent blasting across the
Fox river may have opened a fiS-
sure in the earth, permitting oil to
seep into his water supply.

Maybe its like trying to bring down
a Flying Fortress with a bean bag,
but for whatever it's worth, the
Pittsburgh Pirates are moving at
even a faster clip these days than
the st. Louis Cardinals.
The experts are calling it the
seasons most futile winning streak,
but the Pirates have run up IL vic
tories in a row and even though
they are still 17la games behind the
pace-setting Cards, they are playing
as though every game was the pen
ant clincher
Thursday was a good example.
They defeated the Philadelphia
Philliec in a double header, to 6
and to 5, putting on late squeeze"
rallies to win both games.
The Cards won their second
straight shutout from the New York
Giants, z to 0, last night for their
46th victory in their last 40.
