DRIVERS PARADISE

LONDON-G Great Britain's future as nation for automobilists is be- ing drawn up by the country's three great auto clubs. They have suggested broad highways linking all cities and ports, under-river tunnels, elevated roads, pedestrian subways beneath crossings and non-skid surfaces among postwar improvements, says the London Daily Mail.

FREsH-FRIED DOUGHNUTs

It's been some years since we personally have tasted any hot doughnuts, fresh fried, right off the stove, fragrant with their own in- lmitable fragrance. So maybe we're mistaken in our recollection that they are extra specially wonder ful and that they possess an ap- peal to the male appetite, young or old, that is very strong and very nearly universal. Then again, maybe we're not mistaken. In any event, we won't have to wait long to find out.
 This coming Sunday afternoon, all our servicemen are to be the guests of two very thoughtful friends of the USO who are giving party in the clubhouse. The hos tesses are Betty and Jean Cop stead (wives, respectively, of the Copstead brothers, Roald and Elmer. They are going to serve us doughnuts which they will have Tried right there in Dutch ovens set up in our lounge. Of course there will be coffee, too; and it VIII be served with fresh cream
 The party will begin at 5:3O. There will be good music-delicious coffee-two charming hostesses- and the kind of doughnuts you've remembered hungrily since boy hood but haven't tasted for years.
 You servicemen. it's sure to be rare treat. Please excuse the pun9 DOUGHNUT MISS IT!

DE GAULLE SAYS
 FRENCH RECEIVE FEW ALLIED ARMS

PARIS, oct. 26-Gen Charles De Gaulle today complained that the French are not receiving enough arms for a large war effort.
 In the first press conference since he met the reporters in Washington last July, he commented "the gov- ernment, like everyone else, is. satis- fled that it is now called by it's right name" This was his only reference to Allied recognition.
 He remarked that Allied supply difficulties and the destruction of ports might explain the lack of French arms ito some degree"

BLESSINGS BY THE PAIR

Somewhere in our dim past we recall reading Gin a poem or hymn, wasn't it?) that to be truly happy you must count your blessings one by one.' We happen to have been a firm believer, all our life, in the benefits of counting them. But we take exception to that business of counting 'em ONE BY ONE.

With thousands of Connecticut high-school and college students available soon for jobs in state in dustry during the summer recess, State Manpower Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission announced today pro- cedures for employment of students during the vacation period.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that all em- plyoyed students on a part-time ployers who have employed students on a part-time basis during the school year may continu the em- ployment of the students for sum- mer work upon referral by the U. s. E. S. regardless of the employment ceiling. Students so employed will not be counted against the employ ment ceiling of the employer in question He said further that stu dentes who graduate this year and who have been employed on part time basis may be retained by the employer with referral from the U. s. E. s. provided that such em- ployment does not bring the level of employment above the author ized ceiling of the company con- cerned.
 Students graduating this year who show evidence of having matricu- lated for higher education to begin in the fall will be considered for

the purposes of this program as continuing students. Students whC have not been employed on a part time basis and students who desire to change from the employer with whom they have had part-time em- ployment may be referred to sum- mer work to all essential, including locally needed, activities in the area, with preference to rated firms and such referrals will not count against the employment ceilings of these firms.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that students referred to non-essential activities for summer employment will be counted as a part of the employ ment ceiling for these firms. The purpose of this decision is to en- courage the utilization of students in war employment and at the same tune not to place bar against va cation employment for students who cannot accept war work. It Is pre- stunned that the non- essential indus tries in the area who are below their ceiling should welcome the opportunity of hiring students for summer work even though such employment will count against their ceiling. Students may be referred to all activities except the non-es- sential activities regardless of the Grnployment ceilings However. when replacements are requested, the above provisions will apply.
 A referral is considered accom- plished with respect to the trans fer of students from part-time to full-time employment when the U. s. E. s. has authorized continuance of employment after the employer has provided the employment serv- ice with satisfactory information including the name, address, social security number and date upon which the student became a part time employe of the company. The above provisions do not apply to high-school or college graduates since they are considered a part ot the labor market and subject to the referrel provisions of the priority hiring program.
 M-. Fitzgerald said that he hoped that college and high school stu- dents would take advantage. of the many opportunities afforded t4.em for summer work and help the wa effort in this state.

 With the U. s. Navy Bay of Seine, June 26-The story now can be told of hte part the Navy's "gad- get ships" have played and are playing in getting troops and sup plies onto the beaches of Normandy.
 Of the 4000 ships which make up the Allied armada, a sizeable pro- portion consists of tricky one-pur- pose craft. Each of these gadget ships was built to cope with 8 spe- cial specific situation. The situa- tions ranged literally from soup to nuts and bolts.
 Since most of the small assault craft do not have galleys, the in- vasion armada includes LSTs- landing barge kitchen. These small barges are simply floating soup kitchens. Ech can chug as many as 1900 hot meals daily to landing craft crews-who are still too busy roundtripping troops and supplies to shore to take time out for food.
 And as for nuts and bolts: There are half a dozen different classes of repair ships here. They range from the huge liner-sized btatle damage and auxiliary re- pair ships to small emergency repair landing barges, which carry a truck rigged as a mobile repair ship.
 Warships aside, there are well over 100 different kinds of spec cialized craft skittering deter minedly across the beachhead bays here as the buildup continues. They break down into five main groups: assault ships, landing ships, land ing craft, landing barges and land ing vehicles-the last the much publicized duck and amphibious
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-26

designed not to carry troops but to support them. Here are the special landing craft for providing then guns which act as a close sup- port of the artillery; for providing smoke screens.
 The most spectacular of all is the landing craft rocket-which poured rockets with whitening ef- feet on the beaches just before the zero hour.
 Landing barges are also playing a viatl part here as the fight goes on. SpeciaI types of barges supply wa- ter, oil, stores and ammunition to warships and large merchant ships which are guarding and supplying the beachhead.
 RHINO FERRIES
 Last but far from the least are the rhino ferries. These are nothing more nor less than rafts construc- ted to any desired size or shape by hitching together seven-by -five-foot steel pontoons. Powered by two huge outborad motors, they are fer riyng supplies from ship to shore. At the shoreline they unload for the return trip.
 One of the most Martian sights of the whole invasion armada has been these rhinos. Crossing the Channel under their own power, they lie so low in the water that they're invisible until you're right on top of tehm. Gadget- minded sailors have solved the problem of protection against weather on these flat, uncovered ferries: they simply pitch tents right on them. Seen from the distance, the tents seem to be pitched right on the caps of the Channels waves.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-26

jeeps. In general, assault and land- ing ships crossed the ocean under their own steam, while landing craft and barges didn't-though many of them made 1t across the channel on their own. Craft range in size from troopshipS to tiny rub- Der boats, which can be manipu- lated by couple of men, for scout ing.
 INVASION BAY JAMMED
 The assault ship group does not go right up to the beach. They are anchored out here in the bay and their troops and supplies are being ferried ashore. But even in this ship class there are trans ports especially built for assault troops for evacuation of the wounded, for rescue and for re- pair, as moSner ships for small boats, for cargo and for head quarters of such a tremendously complex operation as this one.
 The landing ship class contains the largest ships designed act ually to go onto the beach. SThe invasion bay here is damned not only with the widely-publicized LISTS and LOTS, but also with such newfangled, highly special ized landing ships as a landing ship dock and landing ship gantry (rigged with huge gantry craneS. Even the ferries, which once took trains across the channel, now are being used as converted land ing ships.
 It is in the landing craft group that naval inventors have had field day. These waters are of course churned with whole series of personnel and supply carriers. But they're also full of whole series of landing craft
