When it hit first, we were sitting in our comfortable home when the sirens shrieked. We ran to the basement and had no more than got there when a bomb smashed the whole house. The pipes went, and water be gan to pour in. I can remember being more scared of drowning as we stood on the tables and -watched the water rise, than of another bomb. "It was new, then, and when day came and we looked at the wreckage of everything we had and knew we had to take up life again and go to work it was pretty terrible. The other times weren't so bad, for we were frdened by then." 1 Iniat's just one little story. happily uncolored by death or Injury. There are millions of them. Almost everyone . you talk to has one to tell you. The best figures indicate that MORE THAN A MILLION dwellings were destroyed or damaged in London. That means that in the nearly five-year period from the blitz to the buzz-bombs anproxl- mately 3 J million people were leit homeless in this city. , ALL this leaves out the dead " and the mangled. If one started into that, it would be end' less. There has been plenty of aeain and injury on the battle fields, and will be more by the time the Jan is finished off. As one listens to the stories of the blitz, one is impressed oddly by the fact that fear of death and injury was only a MINOR part of the terror. If you were dead, you were DEAD. If you were Injured, you would be taken care of. It was the over-all experience of carrying on in the face of conditions that made carrying on a seeming impossibility that burned itself into people's minds.

FOR COAST BLAZE (Continued From' Page One) had been abandoned during the night. Although the fire burned anerilv inside the lines, the area was in "fairly good condition," officials said. 1 Because rugged terrain pre vented use . of bulldozers for trail buildine in the watershed region, fighters used more water to keep back the flames. A dense pall of smoke hung over the Salmonberry-nenaiem area, where spot fires have crackled for days roughly paral lel to the Wolf creek highway. A few loggers from nearby camps struggled to' combat flames in steep coast range mouhtainland with no radio or telephone com munication. In the extreme northern part of the fire, loggers set a series of backfires. Further south the blaze roared only a mile from the tiny community; of Wake field near the railroad down the Nehalem.
