Not bad, eh, fellow Lions?"
MRS. EARL TROMBLEY re
ports an interesting and enjoy
able meeting between twe
Mount Clemens soldiers in Ger
many a short time ago, as thu
Allied push reached its climax
Sgt. Stanley Trombley was look
ing through a building for snip
ers and spotted another c.
nearby on the same deadly mis-
sion. There was something ia
miliar about the other dust anc
undiscovered soldier, so from
bley drew closer and found Z
boyhood friend, Pvt. Norman
Johns, of Mount Clemens
both born and reared on the
same street and chums through
out their life times. You car
bet they had a swell reunion.
Maybe we ought to call this
to the attention of Mayor Bert
Wagner's traffic ticket inves-
tigating group. A County
Building empl0ye overparked
her car one day recently and
found a traffic ticket on il.
She glanced at the Offense:
Overtime parking" the
street: GratiOt and MacOmb,
ETC., and all seemed in order
SO she appeared at Po-
lice Headquarters ready to
pay buck or two only
to have the lieutenant point
out that the car license num-
Der written on the ticket did
not apply to her car at all.
Some smart guy whose car
was ticketed next to hers and
car. We wonder how
slipped the ticket on to her
many people have paid for vi.
olations for which they never
were responsible.
T. SGT. JOHN KINDRA, q
35-mlssion gunner with the
AAF in England, celebrated We
Day without getting around
much at his English base. He
and all other B-24 crewmen
we're confined TO base" for "a
hours when the good news was
lest the cele-
bration get out of hand. =.
John reports his crew were
among the 700 bomber crews
which toured the entire battle
field areas 10 get a look at
what B-24's had done TO Ger
many. Flying at height of L.
600 feet, John said the sight re-
vealed the most devastating
pulverlzing any cities could
have received especially
COlogne!"
Don Parent calls our at
tentiOn, somewhat belatedly,
to be sure, to the sterling
work done by two lone fire
men Of Mount Clemens, Carl
WOltman and Earl TOuscany,
when they were called to the
fire at Alfred Parents JEFF
ferson avenue home recently.
They made the five.mile trip
there in 10 minutes. and with
very little aid, stopped the
fire in Its tracks before it had
a chance to rage through the
frame building. They,
and Clinton Township fire
men who later joined them,
did job outstanding in effic-
iency.
