Both soldiers were with the I'd Di-
vision on D-day-plus-1 when the di-
vision went ashore on Omaha Beach
in Normandy. The two sergeants
agreed that the Normandy hedgerow
fighting was the toughest encoun-
tered by the ID Division in this war,
and each remembered several out
standing acts of heroism that took
place there. .
Civilian soldiers who were drafted
into service eventually became "the
best soldiers in the world" both SER
geants agreed, but each expressed
a strong conviction that America
should rely on strong volunteer
Army in the future.
Sergt. Miller pointed out that ad-
ditional incentive to enlistment, In

would lead to the establishment Of
larger and better Regular Army.

Golden Text. jeremiah 1910, II.
The Lord is the true God, he is
the living God, and an everlasting
king. He hath made the earth
by his power, he hath established
the world by his wisdom, and hath
stretched out the heavens by his
discretion. A Bible citation from
the Lesson-Sermon is: Hebrews
ga. For every house is builded by
some man; but he that built all
things is God. A correlative pass
age from the Textbook Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy is:
Up. 518). The substance, Life In
telligence, Truth, and Love, which
constitute Deity, are reflected by
His creation; and when we subor-
dinate the false testimony of the
corporeal senses to the facts of
science, we shall see this true like

Phelps, who is the State Board of
Health's regular consultant in
cerebral palsy, is well known in
this field, and serves as consultant
to state agencies and private hos
pitals in 10 states. He comes to
Delaware every June to conduct
clinics. There are 80 cerebral pal
sy patients in Delaware under the
care of the State Board of
Health's Crippled Children's pro-
gram, and about so of them have
appointments scheduled with DR..
Phelps, therefore, he will be unable
to see anyone who does not have
an appointment. The staff of the
regular Crippled Children's clinics
makes the schedule for children
who especially need DR.. Phelps
advice, and the mothers have been
notified. Owing to the number to
be seen, no unauthorized cases can
be accepted at this time, DR..
knight stated. Present also at
the cerebral palsy clinics will be
DR.. Irving M. Finn, chief ortheo-
pedic consultant for the Crippled
Children's Service, DR.. David King
of the staff of the Nemours Foun-
dation, and DR.. Knight.
Crippled Children's Clinics
That cerebral palsy is but one of
many crippling conditions, was
pointed out by DR.. Knight, who
states that the Boards Crippled
Children's register shows that
there are 1,416 children now at
tending clinics. During the past
year, 46 Crippled Children's elm
