Raymond Cavanaugh, son of Mrs. Mary Cavanaugh of 188 South Elm street, recently promoted to ser- geant in Oberturn, Austria, is now with the 20th Armored Division of the Seventh Army after many long months service in the same divi- sion with the First Army.
 He had been with the Third Ar mored Division of the First Army since St. To last August and the move came as a surprise to him and his buddies. When the Third Ar mored Division stopped at the Elbe River, 43 miles from Berlin, Ray and his buddies thought the war was over for them. but then had to take a six-days trip across Ger many to join the 10th Armored Division.
 To date Sgt Cavanaugh has been through Halle, Leipzig, Wasserburg, Nurnberg and Munich. He claims that all German cities look the same today, one big heap of rubble. He says the Air Corps did great job on the large German cities.
 After Cavanaugh and his buddies drove up to Salzburg, Austria, the war officially ended for them there on May g. There was not any fighting there and the only Ger mans they encountered were horse and buggy army. They all had a white flag waving on their carts and not one shot was fired as the Tanks did not even bother to take any prisoners.
 Right now Sgt. Cavanaugh is liv- ing in a hotel only 2fI yards from a large lake. The weather is around 85 degrees daily and he calls it story book country, with snow-cap- ped mountains and hills and val leys. He has paid two visits to Hit ler's home In Berchtesgraden from where you can look on a cloudy day from a front window and see miles and miles away.
 Recently Cavanaugh visited the shrine at Lourdes, France in com pany with Chaplain Dougherty, q native of Philadelphia.
