Life Traded For Fame By Yankee
Major Who Said, "See You In St. Lo!"
By HAL BOYLE
NEWYORK. OP) Five years ago this week many thousands of
Americans went for a cross-country walk. And every field they
passed made them a year older. .
It happened on another continent at a place called St. Lo in a
thing called a war. In that long ago time the world still tried to
solve its troubles through warfare.
The men who took part in
breaching the nazi line there a
sieve to all France don't re
member the whole area so well.
They recall better the rough bark
feel of a tree they hugged. They
remember a ditch they crawled
into and hated to leave more than
they ever feared to leave their
mother's arms.
In those days ther was no such
thing as a landscape. There was
the world you knew on this side
of a hedgerow. On the other side
was another world an unknown
terror. And every hedgerow safe
ly passed was another birthday.
The Germans had lines of fire
through the hedgerows. They de
fended them mathematically and
fanatically, with skill, with guns,
with blood.
It was a noisy time. The little
guns chattered all day, and the
big guns har-r-rumphed all night,
like giants clearing their throats.
Skies Filled With Planes
In the hazy skies great fleets of
planes flew over and hit the Ger
man positions. And sometimes
one would swim into an ack-ack
burst, erupt in flame ..nd go down
smoking, leaving a muddy scar
against the blue.
The earth was so torn by bomb
and shell you would think it could
never close up its wounds again.
The doughboys were grateful for
the craters. They made inenaiy
foxholes for a man to lie and
sweat in until he could gather his
b ?ath and courage to go on.
It was terrible introduction to
battle for many green soldiers.
"They bring up a new kid in
the night," said a sergeant. "I
check him in and he hits the dirt.
Then a shell comes and finds him
in the dark and the medics carry
him away. And I haven't ever
seen the boy's face."
Life Traded For Fame
Every battlefield has a hundred j
anonoymous neroes. livery man
who took a step forward was a
hero then, but one traded his life
for a lasting fame.
He was the "major of St. Lo"
Thomas D. Howie of the Staun
ton (Va.) Military academy, com
mander of a battalion of the 29th
Infantry division.
ine major was young and
friendly. He had the gift of leader
ship. "He was so kind and consider
ate you always felt comfortable
around him," said one of his sol
diers. But Howie also was a deter
mined man. He wanted to be the
first man into St. Lo at the head
of his battalion.
"See you in St. Lo," he laughed
at the end of a conference of staff
officers planning the attack. It
became the division's rallying cry
"See you in St. Lo."
The major didn't make it
alive. During an enemy bombard
ment he paused before taking
cover himself to see that his men
were dowm-A mortar burst caught
him standing.
But in death young Howie
gained his wish. His flag-draped
body, by order of his command
ing general, was in a lead vehicle
of the first task force to fight its
way into St. Lo. And they laid
him reverently in the rubble of
a ruined church.
"It's foolish to take a dead man
into battle," said a hardened :
doughboy. "It . doesn't make
sense." j
3ut It did. It made one brave
unan a legend and a symbol.
looay there is a bronze bust of
"the major of St. Lo" before that
church, and the French deck it
with flowers. It stands not alone
for Major Howie. It stands also
for 1,818 other men of his own
division who lost their lives there
and for how many thousands
more?

Thur., July 21, 1949 The News-Review, Roseburg, Or. 7
June Weather
Ties Record Dry
Spell Of 1904
June, 1949, tied for seecond
place as the driest June on re
cord, according to a report by
Thomas A. Hill Jr., official In
charge of the Roseburg weather
bureau.
Only .03 of an inch fell In Rose
burg last month to share low pre
cipitation records with June,
1904. The all time low was re
gistered in 1883 when .01 of an
inch was recorded-for the month.
Hill indicated the lack of rain
fall, combined with above-normal
sunshine and temperature
factors, led to hazardous fire
conditions in the forest. He said
a lack of rain has also resulted
In a poor grain stand and the
number of sunny hours, 19 per
cent above normal, has burned
the pasture lands so they will
not support the normal number1
of livestock.
Although the June 5 temper
ature reading of 92 degrees fail
ed to approach any record highs,
the average temperature for the
month was above normal. Av
erage maximum readings for
the month was 79 degrees com
pared to a normal average of.
75.1 degrees. . .
The sun shone 366 hours out of
a possible 460, with 14 days
showing a possible sunshine read
ing of 100 per cent. Only six days
out of the month failed to see
the sun shine at least half the
time. Three days were listed by
the weather official as being very,
cloudy on the "average cloudi
ness scale."
