Springfield Adair Medicine Map CAMP ADAIR Deacon LaVelle (Tec4 Edward LaVelle to be ex act) likes to tell about the good old days when he was the Impres ts rlo of medicine shown down In Texas. Whether the colorful deacon actually did conduct such an enterprise or whether it's Just another of his tall yarns is a mat ter of barrack conjecture. But one thing Is certain, no prospective nostrum purchasers ever hung on the deacon's spiel like the audience of GIs who heard him lecture at recent decontami nation course put on by the 70th chemical warfare section. Entertaining as the course was, It was also instructive. . , instruc tive in one of the deadliest arms of offense and defense that mod ern armies have devised.

English Fighter'Hits Actions of French People SPRINGFIELD Contrary to popular American impression of the French people was the descrip tion given the people of Norman dy in letter written by SCpl. J. Slater, now with the British forces in Normandy, to Sgt. Arlo B GoJd, with American forces in England. Sergeant Good forwarded the let ter to his wife who resides In Springfield. Cpl. Slater states, "I have no time for the French people here for they will do you harm as soon as your back is turned. They look pretty well off with plenty of clothes, silk stockings, and food, they also are trying to get rich quick from us. They wanted a shilling for two slices of bread, and as you know we only get bis cuits in those compound rations of ours, and the meat they are try ing to sell us is horse meat that has been blown up by mines in the road." The letter went on to say that the fighting in France was quite different than that don in the desert because of all of the houses, fields and hedges of the French countryside, which the men used to hide in. "In one town we were in and out five times, but we now have a good hold on the town and are pushing on slowly. Old Jerry is up to his old tricks again with his booby traps. You have to be careful where you tread and what you pick up.

J. WOOLF NEA Artist-Correspondent ABOARD A U. S. LST There are 28 German prisoners on the top deck of this LST on its way back from France. They teem little interested in their surround ings and showed no curiosity when the ship approached a southern base in England. There are Westphalians, Ba varians, Prussians, East Prussians and Saxons among them. Their ages vary from about 17 to 45. The oldest is gaunt Bavarian, a dark-haired chap who at times displays a keen sense of humor. There are two or three with whom I try to talk, who are surly and pay no attention to my questions. . Their clothing all shows signs of wear, yet they are by no means in tatters. I can not examine their boots closely but they appear to be in good condition. . According to most of them 1933 marked the crest of Hitler's popu larity. This dwindled gradually, when many of his promises were not fulfiUed. When the war be gan many of the older people lost thir faith, hut the Hitler youth greeted it with enthusiasm. Doubt as to the outcome of ine war oc ean to am-ead when Russia was attacked. Today, say the majority with whom I speak, about 66 per cent of the population still follows the Fuehrer. When this Is said I notice the youngster of the prisoners shake his head defiantly, but he will not tell me why he disagrees with this and only smiles supercilious ly. The square-head from Westpha lia says that the Luftwaffe is practically done for; that while there are still numbers of planes, the bombings of factories has made replacements impossible. None of them has seen the rocket bomb and most of them are sur Drised that it is In use. One of them laughingly remarks that he never believed in its existence and thought Dr. Goebbels was its in- trained in street fighting, still I think it will be a race for Paris." SPRINGFIELD CHILD CARE GETS GRANT SPRINGFIELD A recent re port from Washington stated that public works allocations made by the federal works agency on July 10, included a $17,700 grant for child care in Springfield. DRILL TEAM HOLDS PRACTICE SPRINGFIELD The Juanita Rebekah lodge Progressive 22 drill team will meet Friday evening at 8 o'clock at the IOOF hall for the regular monthly practice.' The committee in charge for the evening incudes: Miss Vinnie McPherson, Miss Lula McPher son, Mrs. Gladys Myers and Mrs. Floy Richardson. ventor. A sad looking peasant type from Frankfort tells me his name, but asks me not to mention it, as he has a wife and little girl of seven "at home" and he fears re taliation. For he is particularly virulent In his talk about the Nazis. He says that he had been leading a happy life as a farmer. Although he had little money, he was contented; then he was snatched way and made to fight for what he did not know. I asked them when the German people think the war will end. The Saxon pipes up, "Don't you know the Germans have not been allowed to think since Hitler came to power?" "Even if they did," adds the Bavarian, "they were afraid to say what they thought." Then, just as we are entering the harbor, he nudges the ribs of the man next to him and says in an undertone. "See, the Fuehrer is keeping his promise. We an landing In England!"
