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. '
