Closeup Of Invasion
At Lions Meeting

! Seaman Bobbie Allison, who

teresting recital of his experience
at the luncheon-meeting of the
Lions Club Wednesday evening.
Having participated in four
major engagements. the last one
resulting in his being injured as
ito be brought back to the United
States f or disqualification, his
talk availed his hearers an un-
usual closeup of the invasion or.
deals.
He said that he was not favor
ably impressed by the natives of
North Africa and even less i'm
pressed by the people of Sicily
and southern Italy. The latter,
he said. live much as beggars
and thieves, due, he presumed.
to the inroads of war.
Americans are blamed by these
people for the bombings and ar
tilery fire and fail to have the
fuller appreciation that military
needs. though visiting suffering
upon them, aims for their final
welfare.
When peace comes. he said, it
was his opinion that men who
have seen combat service will be
law abiding ones. since they
have seen enough of sorrow and
misery. The trouble-makers. he
believed, will be those who did
not reach the battle line.
Other interesting talks were
given by DR.. W. A. Butler. state
veterinarian, and DR.. G. W.
Cronen, inspector in charge of
the Bureau of Animal Husband
ry of Montana. Both discussed
control of animal disease, especi-
ally forms that may be communi-
Gated to the human family.
