and some fine catches were made.
Sunday afternoon the fish could be
tempted with a variety of lures. Min
nows We're producing some fine catch
es but Grover Davidson from Pandora
was having a lot of fun with a fly
rod and rubber legged bugs. David
son snagged one blue gill after an
other with his rod and although in
some instances they ran small in size
there were several nice ones taken.
On the preceding day Davidson en-
joyed excellent fishing and hooked
two ten inch. crappies, four inch
blue gills and 4 others that ran small
er in size, five 10 inch perch, and a
rock bass that measured 9 inches.
This is a real catch for this time of
the year, but it must be remembered
that the Water Works quarry has not
frozen over this winter, which means
the spring fishing has started off
earlier at this particular body of wat
er. The Buckeye quarry is still COW
cred with a inch stand of ice.
Ross Mcdonald, Ada, made a good
catch of blue gills, perch, and rock
bass on worms at the Water Works
quarry last Friday.
Jess Manages snagged nice catch
of pan fish at the quarry on minnows
and had variety of crappies, perch,
catfish and sunfsh before the after
noon was over. Ed Root and Bernard
Fish hooked A perch measuring 10
inches and 4 blue giIls measuring
around inches on worms. Sparky
Fett also had some fun fishing for
blue gills.
The wateworks has been heavily
stocked with several thousand legal
size fish last fall by the club and this
body of water is open to public fishing
but fishermen must abide by state
fishing laws and regulations.
Fishing regulations have practically
made no change over last year and

regulations is furnished with each Ii

Army Squirn1s on Quiz
 or Millions of Blankets

Washington, Nov. 29-(UP)-The question today is, where are the 53, ,442, 900 all-wool blankets? Or are they? If any.
 The undersecretary of war says they are mistake. A Senate com mittee says, oh yeah? A couple of generals are squirming (which is an interesting sight) and claim the Army should quit trying to count with its fingers. It had bet ter crack out some of its surplus adding machines and start all over again on blankets.
 The facts came out in driblets. Sen James M. Mead of New York, head of the War Investigating Committee, was trying to learn why the Army wouldn't give up some of its extra Stuff for Shivering civ ilianS.
 Could Use Some
 He mentioned 30,98O,O00 bed sheets, 116.853,0oO pairs of mems shorts (of which he could use a few himselD, 450,918 wrist watches, and 57,509,00O twill fatigue jackets. Undersecretary of War Kenneth Royal was tidgeting by the time the senator got to the 53,442. .000 blankets.
 We haven't got that many blan- kets," Royall blurted.
 But your reserve was set up at 5, ,442 ,000," insisted Committee counsel Francis D. Flanagan.
 "Yes, but tell you that is a mis- take" Royall insisted. Tt was a mathematical error.'
 Yes and your Quartermaster Corps made the same error on 29 other articles, Flanagan insisted.
 So Maj. Gen. Russell Maxwell and Brig. Gen. Theodore Osborn came to add their testimony and somehow the subject kept return ing to blankets: enough to give one to every man, woman and child in New York State, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Illinois, Ala bama, and Wisconsin.
 The thing got still more mys- terious when Sen. Mead observed that too many brass hats seemed to have been changing too many figures. There shouldns be so many mistakes and so much con- fusion" he said.
 That ended the formal proceed ings and I got Counsel Flanagan
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-29

into a corner for further count ing of blankets.
 The Army, he said, figured that maybe, with luck, there'd be 725,- GOO young men in universal mili- tary training for the next 20 years. That at least is where it started counting.
 Got To Keep Men Warm
 Got to keep these young fellers warm, the Army said to itself, as- signing two blankets to each. Since the trainee would change annually, the Army then multiplied by 20. That made 29,0O0OO0 blankets. The other 24,000,000 represented regular stocks.
 So we wondered if blankets wore out every year" Flanagan said. The Army said no, it guessed only 20 per cent of 'em had to be re- placed annually. Finally, after we argued with em, they admitted they made a mistake.
 "Only they made the same miS- take on g other things that sol diers use, including sun glasses. You know what they did? Ordered up 60,OOO,0O0 sun glasses"
 Undersecretary Royal said he

 The company has hired and trained local labor without previous textile experience The plant will continue to operate at capacity, with the present payroll of $50, MT. Smith announced. The purchase increases to seven the number of textile mills owned by the rubber company.

 In the American sector, the beach areas totaled 10000 yards inlength. Every 75 yards a land ing craft loaded with assault in fantry touched down at H-hour Assault veterans charged down the ramps, picked their way through the bands of obstacles, and immediately provided cover for the work of naval and engi- neer demolition crews which fol- lowed close behind. Each crew had specific task to perform in clearing lanes for subsequent waves of craft carrying infantry, artillery, vehicles, and supplies. Naval guntire and air lombard ment hammered at artillery and motar positions, pillboxes, and gun supplements.
 Resistance by German ground elements was stubborn, and bit ter fighting developed in many sectors. Our long campaign against the Luftwaffe had greatly weakened it's capacity for combat and, as a result, there was no eff fective air opposition to our highly vulnerable initial landings. Rein forcementS continued to pour ashore, and by nightfall on D-day, five American divisions, the 1st, 4th, 28th and 82nd and 101st Air borne, with tanks, artillery and other endorsements, were firmly established. Also ashore were ad- vance detachments of the head quarters of Maj. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow'S V Corps and Maj. Gen. J. Lawton Collins VII Corps. The British build-up in their sector was on a corresponding scale. Ad- ditional divisions still afloat were being landed in a Stady stream
 By the second morning it was clear that the beachhead was se- cure and that the greatest and longest step toward the destruc- tion of the German armies of the west had been taken. The "crust" of the German coastal defense system had been broken. The German boast that an invading 4OlSe SOuIU IlOG TeIlldIIl dSIlOTe for nine hours had been flung back on the now desperate de- lenders.
 Shortly after D-day the Con- bined Chiefs of Staff met in Lon- don in order to be immediately available should an emergency arise requiring prompt decision on some matter beyond General EisenhoWer'S jurisdiction as Su- preme Commander. The assault went so well that it was possible on June 12 for the Combined Chiefs to visit the beaches of Nor mandy and observe at first hand the magnitude of the undertaking and the gallant and skillful man. her in which the Allied forces were overcoming the resistance of the veteran German soldiers.
