Do We Appreciate?

Electricity has long been so common in the
United States that we are not conscious of
its presence. We consider as commonplace,
services and products in our country, which
would be looked on as luxuries in large por-
tons Of the world.
AS evidence of this, take the lowly electric
clock. Many electric clocks are seldom set aft
er they are once plugged in. Well, what of it?
you may ask. Nothing, except you don't think Of
failure in your electric service.
1t is seldom that anything but an Act of
God or war would interrupt the current which
you depend On using as uninterruptedly as
the water you drink or the air you breathe
Such service isn't an accident 1t is the re-
suit of over a half century of tireless ef-
fort by electric companies which have been
pioneered and financed by individuals who,
under the urge Of unrestrained opportunity,
have given this nation services and products
as yet unknown to countless millions over the
world
1t is sometimes well to pause and count our
blessings. Outstanding in the United States is
the progress that flows from private enter.

never end. What the Germans must
have thought is beyond comprehen-
sion.
Their march across the sky was
slow and studied. I've never known
a storm, or a machine, or any re-
solve of man that had about it the
aura of such a CHASTITY relentless
ness. You had the feeling that even
had God appeared beseechingly be-
fore them in the sky with palms
outward to persuade them back
they would not have had within
them the power to turn from their
irresistible course.

ranging from colonies to privates,
back of the stone farmhouse. Slit
trenches were all around the edges
of the farmyard and a dugout with
a tin roof was nearby. But we were
so fascinated by the spectacle over
head that it never occurred to us
that we might need the foxholes.
The first huge flight passed di-
rectly over our farmyard and 9TH
ers followed. We spread our feet
and leaned far back trying to look
straight up, until our steel helmets
fell off. We'd cup our fingers
around our eyes like field glasses
for clearer view.
And then the bombs came. They
began ahead of us as the crackle
of popcorn and almost instantly
swelled into monstrous fury of
noise that seemed surely to de-
stroy all the world ahead of us.
From then on for an hour and. a
half that had in it the agonies of
centuries, the bombs came down.
A wall of smoke and dust erected
by them grew high in the sky. It
filtered along the ground back
through our own orchards. It sifted
around us and into our noses. The
bright day grew slowly dark from
it.
By now everything was an in
describable cauldron of sounds. In
dividual noises did not exist. The
laundering of the motors in the
sky and the roar of bombs ahead
filled all the space for noise on
earth. Our own heavy artillery was

IN NORMANDY-By Wireless)
Our frontlines were marked by
long strips of colored cloth laid on
the ground, and with colored smoke
to guide our airmen during the
mass bombing that preceded our
break-out from the German ring
that held us to the Normandy beach.
head.
Dive bombers hit it just right.
We stood in the barnyard of a
French farm and watched them
barrel nearly straight down out Of
the sky. They were bombing about
half a mile ahead Of where we
stood.
They came in groups, diving from
every direction, perfectly timed,
one right after another. Every
where you looked separate groups
of planes were on the way down,
or on the way back up, or slanting
over for dive, or circling, circling,
circling over our heads, waiting for
their turn.
The air was full of sharp and
distinct sounds of cracking bombs
and the heavy rips of the planes
machine guns and the splitting
screams of diving wings. 1t was all
fast and furious, but yet distinct
as in a musical show in which you
could distinguish throaty tunes and
words.
And then a new sound gradually
droned into our ears, sound deep
and all encompassing with not noes
in it-just a gigantic faraway surge
of doom-like sound. 1t was the
heavies. They came from directly
behind us. AT first they were the
merest dots in the sky. You could
see clots of them against the far
heavens, too tiny to count indivi-
dually. They came on with ter
rible sloWneSs.
They came in flights of IL, three
flights to a group and in groups
stretched out across the sky. They
came in families of about 70
planes each.
Maybe these gigantic waves
were two miles apart, maybe they
were 10 miles, I don't know. But
I do know they came in constant
procession and I thought it would

could hardly hear it.

The Germans began to shoot
heavy, high ack-ack. Great black
puffs of it by the score speckled
the sky until it was hard to distin-
quish smoke puffs from planes.
And then someone shouted that
one of the planes was smoking.
Yes, we could all see it. A long
faint line of black smoke stretched
straight for a mil ebehind one of
them.
And as we watched there was a
gigantic sweep of flame over the
plane. From nose to tail it disap-
peared in flame, and it slanted
slowly down and banked around
the sky in great wide curves this
way and that way, as rhythmically
and gracefully as in slow motion
waltz.
Then suddenly it seemed to
change it's mind and it swept up
ward. sleeper and sleeper and
ever slower until finally it seemed
poised motionless on its owl
black pillar of smoke. And then just
as slowly it turned over and dived
for the earth-a golden spearhead
on the straight black shaft of its
own creation-and it disappeared
behind the treetops.
But before it was done there
were more cries of, There's an
other one smoking and there's a
third one now
Chutes came out of some of the
planes. Out of some came no
chutes at all. One of white silk
caught on the tail of a plane. Men
with binoculars could see him fight
ing to get loose until flames swept
over him, and then tiny black dot
fell through space, all alone.
And all that time the great flat
ceiling of the sky was rooted by all
the others that didn't 60 down,
blowing their way forward as if
there were no turmoil in the world.
Nothing deviated them by tn e
slightest. They stalked on, slowly
and with dreadful pail of sound,
as though they were seeing only
some thing at great distance
and nothing existed in between.
God, how you admired those men
up there and sickened for the ones
who fell.

Keep Supply Ready

To meet these demands and
20 be able to mix your beverages
quickly, it is a good idea TO
keep a supply OF the makings on
your shelves. Canned fruit
juices, syrups and flavoring ex-
tracts all can be used in making
summer drinks.
Beverages made with club
soda or sparkling water are pop
ular because of their tanginess.
Keep one or two bottles in your
refrigerator, for sparkling water
is better when it is thoroughly
chilled.
An opened bottle should be
tightly corked before returning
il 10 the refrigerator-and when
you want to use IL the next day
you'll find that the sparkle is
still there. Make IL a habit
10 return empty bottles TO your
dealer promptly so you win be
assured of a plentiful supply for
your beverages all through the
summer.
Try the following recipes:
Apricot spsrkIer
! cup apricot juice or nectar
Juice of 2 lines
Sparkling water.
Combine the syrup and lime
Juice and pour over ice cubes
in tall glasses. FIJI the glasses
with sparkling water and stir
gently. Serves four.
