BRITAIN'S HOMAGE
Book Honoring American War Dead
Is Sent Free to 5000 U. S. Homes

The first part of the book tells the
story of Americans in Britain from the
first few volunteers in British and
Canadian units until there were more
than a million "Yanks'' before D-Day.
1t points out the inevitable strains when
this friendly invasion took place.
For his part. the British soldier in
Libya or Burma could not be expected
to weigh altogether dispassionately the
Importance of the American war effort
when he heard that his fiancee was
walking out with a GI. His mother
was inclined to show Just as little for
bearance. Inevitably. they were given
cause for jealousy. The American SOL
dier or sailor was never short of food
though he was always hungry, and
certainly never short of money ~
And on the other side: Even when he
settled to the peculiarities of life in
Britain. to watered-down beer not
blessed by ice. to driving on the wrong
side of the road. to cold rooms and
antique plumbing the American
serviceman could seldom persuade him

expressions of a firm Anglo American
friendship which the sponsors say is
the only reward they hoped for.
The 64-page volume. which includes
38 photos (some reproduced here) starts
with message from Winston Churchill
Its four chapters are entitled: The
Americans in Britain's Midst" General
Eisenhower The American Memorial
Chapel in st. Paul's Cathedral and
Independence Day at St. Paul's"
The Churchill message. sets the tone
1t reads: Our two countries. parted
long ago by war. were brought together
again by war in a unity and under
standing such as we had never known
Through long years of endeavor and
endurance, we shared all things, and
though we lost SO much we found
lasting friendship. We shall not forget
those gallant American soldiers, sailors
and airmen who fought with us, some
in our own ranks. countless others from
our shores. To those who did not return
the best memorial is the fellowship of
our two countries, which by their valour
they created and by their sacrifice they
have preserved"

The book describes all facets of Amer
ican life among the British. It quotes
Gen. Eisenhowers speech when he was
made Freeman of the City of London,
and then tells of the American Memorial
Chapel.
This chapel in England's most famous
cathedral was financed by contributions
from several million Britons Some
could give only pennies. but the contri-
buttons totaled nearly E100,000-about
$280,000.
In the cathedral is the Roll of Honour,
prepared by the United States, which
lists the names of the Americans based
in Britain who were killed during the
war. An impressive ceremony of dedi-
cation, participated in by Queen Eliza
beth and Gen. Eisenhower, was held on
July 4, 1851, when the Roll was placed
in st. Pauls.
So tomorrow-MemorialD Day-will be
celebrated not only here but in Britain
as well. In st. Paul's. yeS-and also
perhaps. in Devonshire. where there is
memorial organ in parish church
dedicated to the dead who served in
American naval contingents operating
from a neighboring base. Or in Cam
bridge, where the largest American
cemetery in Britain is located. Or in
Suffolk. where there are plaque dedi-
Gated to the dead of United States
Bombardment Group and a memorial
tablet to American airmen
These and many more monuments,
some great. some small, and the book,
"Britain's Homage to $4,000 American
Dead are evidences of sorrow and
friendship shared by the two countries.

MEMORIAL DAY may be observed
lV1 tomorrow in $4,000 American
homes by the rereading of simple
but poignant British book
"Britain's Homage to % 900 American
Dead Is its title
The book is dedicated to the memory
of the United States fighting men who
died while based in Britain during World
War II. 1t was published by the London
Times on the initiative of Col j. J.
Astor, chairman
The idea when the book was completed
in 1852 was that the next Of kin of
each American military man who died
while serving in Britain during the war
should have volume free of cost.
Through the help of the American
War Veterans Association, all depend
ent relatives were notified of the book
through their pension payment docu-
ments. Although records showed about
% 900 Americans based in Britain had
been killed. there were nearly $4,000
requests for copies.
The extra thousands of applications
came from those who had lost relatives
in the European theater. but did not
know where. The Times decided against
asking the bereaved for more informa-
ton. Even though the original under
taking was made nearly three times as
large. all who applied were given books.
Each is inscribed on the front in gold
with the name of the son. husband or
brother who did not return.
Distribution of the books finally has
been completed and letters of apprecia-
ton from thousands of Americans have
been received in London. Many are

New Oats Variety
Resists Disease

Ohio State University extern
sion agronomists today predict
ed that Clintland, new oats
variety resistant to all common
races of crown rust, will replace
Clinton SO as soon as seed is
available. When no rust is pre-
sent the two varieties give al
most identical results.
Rust seriously reduces Ohio
Oats yields some seasons, and
new races of rust have forced
some varieties off the recon-
mended list for Ohio.
Other varieties recommended
for 1855 planting on Ohio farms
are: Missouri 0-205, Ajax, and
Andrew. Clintland and Clinton
SO rank first and second among
the varieties recommended for
northern Ohio, except in the
Lake Plain area of northwestern
Ohio. In the Lake Plain area and
in southern Ohio, Missouri 0-205
and Clintland top the list.
New varieties that have not
made as good a showing in Ohio
tests include Abegweit, Clarion,
LaSalle, Lanark, Lorain, Mis-
souri, 0-200, Park, Rodney and
Simcoe. Some of these have been
tested only one year and may
perform better under additional
testing.
Ohio tests show older varieties
such as Cherokee, Columbia,
Kanota, Miami, Nemaha, Tama
and Wayne are definitely not as
good for Ohio planting as the S
recommended above.
More information on oats var
ieties is available in the new
extension bulletin 347.
