Unchangeable Normandy Outgrows War's Ravages, Lives Unto Itself By HAL BOYLE SOMEWHERE IN NORMANDY, June 7. UP) War hurts the land less than the people who live on the land. And this story could just as well be datellned "with the American forces in Normandy in memory." Because, soldier, If you come back you'll find that's all the war now has come down to here. Just your own memory bitter or sweet. The American Army came In its pompless power and passed on just as a small army with more pomp in previous centuries came and passed. But the imprint of William the Conqueror is heavier on the land today than Eisenhower the first. And Willie was a big shot here almost nine centuries ago, where as Ike was here only five years back. The difference probably boils down to the fact that vigorous William the man who dared to cross the English channel that Adolph Hitler didn't was a home town boy. And all of us who came here under Ike were only mili tary transients to the steadfast natives of Normandy. ' We probably didn't really have too much to offer the Normans. They are rugged and crochety and freedom-loving Individuals just as we like to think we are. They drink cider as we do. And they have a thing called "calva does" a form of brandy more delicious than anything any American hill billy ever slewed from corn, raisin or potatoes. It is a kind of French vodka In a hairy bottle. Normans First Always The Normans are florid peas ants who differ from Iowa soil merchants only in that they pre fer the horse to the tractor and they still would rather die and go to heaven than live and retire to California. So it will always be as It has been for centuries. Hundreds of thousands of Germans and Ameri cans and Britain fought across this soil five years ago. Norman dy was choked with their noise and their weapons. What is left? The graves of those who stayed. The Norman peasant gave the world a historic battlefield. But he never let himself be drawn too much into the struggle. He speaks a few words of German, a few words of English but he still understands the language of his milk cows better than any thing execpt his own close mouthed family. His. land is as loyal to him as he is to it. The scars of war have been covered with lush grass and surging trees. Come back today, soldier, and you'll find it's hard to find the place you fought in. It is now only in your mind. The land has outgrown war here and forgotten it. It has healed itself, just as people, who grow more slowly and cure them selves less easily would like to. It holds no memories of what people would like to forget and can't. High School Students Hurt In Auto Crash DALLAS, Ore., June 8.
