'Xa' PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON NAVY QUOTAS ENLARGED BY NEWPROGRAM Welcome news for navy-mind ed 17-year-olds was contained in announcement this week by Re n(.inf Tan Sphrnihpr nf the Klamath Falls navy recruiting station that an eniargea quoia for enlistments from this age group has been opened by the navv for the immediate future. The recruiter urged that young men who previously have applied for naval enlistment but who have not yet Been accepted Massing of Men, Materiel, On French Front Reported - (Editor's Note: Lloyd Strat ton, president of The Associat ed Press, ljia., overseas biiu iate of The Associated Press, has been making a tour of the Normandy battlefront visiting Associated Press news . and Dhoto correspondents.

"7 ikMjTimLiom Music Among The Primitives' Bv EARL WHITLOCK If you have always thought that your own love lor gooa music rather set you a bit high- er in me scuie r of civilization f than your low brow fellows, this may amaze you somewhat. An . explorer, recently re turned from a long stay among the most primitive peo ples of the Up . per Amazon country, re ports that, night after night, when he would tune . in his radio receiving short-wave set to Schenectady if there hap pened to be a symphony con cert on the air, the natives would sit, silent and entranced, enjoying every note. Eager for more. When, on the other hand, there was a swing orches tra giving out, they would mut ter and fidget about for a while nd then thev would eo awav. They didn't like that at all. Now this did not happen In merely one instance, but time after time and in village after village. And it would seem to prove pretty conclusively that a love for the better things mu sically, far from proving you to be more highly civilized, ac tually shows that you are rather more primitive in your instinct than the jitter bugs. But don't let that get you down. There is a certain honest- dig nity in the primitive which isn't honored as much, as it should be. MEMORY GARDEN IS . RESTFUL . Next Monday Mr, Whitlock of the Earl Whitlock Funeral Home will comment on "Serv ice Everywhere." Bv LLOYD STRATTON WITH THE ALLIED FORC ES IN NORMANDY, July 24 () The pattern of war in France, 1944 model, follows much the outline of World War I, but the comparison ends there. I saw nothing massed on the western front in 1918 that in magnitude and power equalled the concentration of military might that in this short time al ready is bulging the relatively small Normandy front. Wheth er in troops, equipment or roll ing stock, the stupendous pro portions were evident. Despite the striking strength of armor, heavy guns and air craft, however, the infantry has shown it still is the force that puts it over. In no other branch of fighting is the comparison between the two wars so dis tinctly the same. Troops carry out the same tasks. But now there are more of them. The soldiers are like walking arsenals, and they are better skilled. The fury of the air force, whether in combat or employed as artillery,, prostrates the en emy as completely as the pro longed barrages flattened him before. The ' size, number and firing power of artillery batteries in many sectors resembles more the lay-out of machine gun em placements in the other war. The mechanized aspect or tne allied armies at no single front has been so impressively cxhlb ited as here. Throughout the en tire area not one animal was in allied military service. Every man and woman was riding motor vehicles right up to for ward Dositions. And more of all material is on the way. It seemed one could walk from shin to snip across the channel. Traffic is as dense as a Sunday motor car caravan on a popular country highway. The hill and trench tactics of the enemy made me feel more at home than many of the operations employing a grand er scale of armament. The German is the same methodical fellow by whom we used to set our watches. Once his time schedule was figured out, whether in artillery, mor tar or air firing, it generally became pretty safe to move ac cordingly. The Questions most generally asked me were whether the de struction of land villages was worse in this war, and if the fighting was bloodier. The an swer to both is only a matter of degree and of what territory is to be bathed with the full weight of the blows. In the Caen area and around at. IjO are villages as totally destroyed, in one brief all-out offensive as occurred in the previous war after three years of back-and-forth fighting. Others h a v e as wholly es caped. Each army, American, Brit ish and Canadian, has taken in certain spots loss - of life un matched by any similar circum stance in the last war. Yet in others are thousands who have been in all the toughest of en gagements and have suffered nothing more than near suffo cation from dust or being en cased in mud. because of quotas in effect re cently, visit the navy recruiting station at once for completion of enlistment procedure. It is not known, the recruiter pointed out, how long the cur rently expanded quota for 17-year-olds will remain in effect. These youths must apply far enough in advance of their 18th birthday to allow for completion of enlistment before they become subject tc selective service at the age of 18, alter which time they are not eligble for voluntary en listment in the navy or any other military service branch. In announcing the newlv en larged enlistment quota, the re cruiter also pointed out that the opportunity for 17-year-olds to qualify for the navy's radio tech nician program a type of train ing wnicn involves intensive and valuable education in the field of modern high frequency still is open. He invited young men in terested in this ODDortunitv to visit the loci station where they may be given a test to determine whether they can qualify for "DT" injnM T-U u uaiiiuis. AllUBC W11U Ldll qualify may be enlisted with the advanced rating of seaman first class. Men of other ages, up to a maximum of 501 years, also may take this test. i If it's a "frozen" article vou need, advertise for a used one in the classified.
