Jst at its Best:

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.

Christmastide, hallowed season of joy and
happiness, this year finds all of us in America
striving constantly to hasten the day of Victory.
Nevertheless it is fitting that we should pause
both to recall our Christmas days of yesteryear
and to look forward into the future with pro
found confidence and hope. We people of
Safeway-including those who have taken leave
of absence to join the fighting forces unite in
sincerely wishing every one of you a Merry
Christmas! May your families be happy and
well. May your dinners be hearty. And may the
Christmas prayers of all of us be answered,
"So that peace mayprevail for all mankind . .
