XAAS CARDS LIGHTNING'S 11151 WilUmett Ptaon.Ulfll ROOT DEER Jst at its Best: rooms of simulated enemy soldi ers. -"We took up positions near the first bunch of buildings in shell holes or behind logs: a blast of dynamite just ahead of us, that showered chunks of dirt on our steel helmets signalled the be ginning of the run, and then a tar get flopped up behind a fence. "I managed to get off a shot at it, and think I plugged it. "The lieutenant designated me as No. 2, so after Murph went up to a post by the corner of a barn, I high-tailed it up to the side, and went through a window (no glass of course) at high speed, and up into the barn loft. "My job was to hit any targets which showed up along the street ahead of me. I had a little win dow to look and shoot out, and potted at a couple of the same type of targets which arc flopped up by remote control. "The advance was continuing, so I got orders to go on again. Inci dentally all, advances to new po sitions are made "on the double" which is the army term for run ning at top speed. "Guess where my post was?' In an outhouse! "I stood upon the seat and fired out from under the gable. On we went, Murph and I alternating In advancing one covering the other while he went forward. My next spot was to get on a roof. Through a building which had been cleared, and then up the stairs and through a tiny attic hole onto the roof. There I fired at more targets. "All the while machine guns were chattering, down the center of the village street. And they were shooting real bullets. We could hear them ricochet off the buildings ahead. Occasionally the noises would be added to by the explosion of a practice grenade, tossed into a room by the assault teamt. Or by the blast of a dyna mite bomb set by one of the of ficers. "By this time ke had 'taken half of Ihe village, and my spot on the roof was Just across the street from the next block an even harder Job to knock out. Down this street, of course, there was machine gun fire, but at the proper moment it ceased, and I dashed ncroM the street up aome stairs, jumped through a window, and surveyed a room. Then up the stairs again, and to a position on a roof behind a gable. "Then I called to Murph to come along all clear below. I spent the remainder of the time on the roof, shooting at targets which flopped up in the area before me. I could see the machine-gun bul lets whipping a trough in the ground down below. "The entire maneuver la done at top speed, and one gets so en grossed in his particular duty that he almost forgets the other the rmt and the bullets whizzing around. I guess that is the way it is in battle the men Just concen trate on what they have to do and, outside of taking the precautions which are drilled Into you until they become automatic, you Just go ahead. irAIDEQS Com Uecl Rcclpel9 PARKIRHOUSE corn rolls 'J tp lifted flour ltsp.talt "CUD Alhcn Cnrtt Meal tsti. biking Powder up. ugir 3 tbspj. shortening or bacon 'drippings , t egg, beaten cup mux lfl 17 "iwdieott into bowl Cut or rub in aortening or bacon dripping! until thor oughly mixed.
