ISLAND CHANGED INTO BASE 5 FOR BOMBINQ FLEET Thorney island off England's southern coast soon will bristle with the man-made defenses of a bombing base. "There are few people to be transplanted, for on Thorney island's sev oral square miles only 300 make their j homes," says a bulletin from the. Washington, D. C., headquarters of. the National Geographic society. "Their tiny farms will be smoothed [ over for landing fields. Barns thatched with pale yellow straw will give way to hangars, Ivy-covered manor houses to barracks: Salt winds with a seaweed tang will bear the odor j of motors and oil. Lush green fields , will pasture the ^ncrete andsteel of three bombing squadrons. "Where the borderline of Sussex and Hampshire meets the sea, and little land fragments appear to have frayed loose and drifted out into the English channel toward the Isle' of Wight, lies the Indentation that secludes Thorney lBland. In Chichester harbor, the eastern-most of three - J harbor tentacles reaching from the sea Into tho flat, southern plain, Thorney 1? maroouod within tho clasp of two water arms, Thorncy channel and Kmsworth channel. It is separated from the Sussex mainland by a Yshaped crook called (he Great Deep, no doubt because ft "is neither too great to be leapod by a couple of roads nor too deep to bo drained at low tide to a narrow stream trickling lazily through seaweed and mud flats. "The 'capital' of the island is West Thornoy, n cluster of old houses about a shady village green, only half awakened by the activities of its 171 inhabitants. Its church, bogun whon Norman builders were experimenting with early Gothic architecture, has a trim llttlo tower and much carved 'dog-tooth' moulding which art students have admired. "Before It joined tho British navy, Thorite/ Island roceived moro attention from tho sea than from tho land. The channel sends vigorous tides to lurp it from tho loosening grasp of the mainland. Smartly rigged yachts, ncnt launches, and lightly skimming sailboats of shallow draft croaB the sandbar Into Chichestor harbor, holding their course by tho Inconspicuous contours of Thornoy Island. "Thornoy and neighboring Haylnnd island have long beckoned to summer vacationists. Winter Is not severe on Thornoy although tho atmosphere is somewhat soggy, turning the mlrjr roads into 'January butter.' Then it attracts an even larger group of visitors, but of an entirely different kind. While winter winds rustle the reeds of Baity marches, herons come 0 here to flsh. Migratory birds seek Chichester harbor for shelter tu rough weather before or after crossing the channel. Rooks and starlings winter here in great numbers, chattering noisily over the juioy roots and grubs they extract from the saturated green earth. White flocks of blackheaded gulls swoop down to ' search the marginal mud flats for food, or rest on sodden green pastures in flying formation, at equal spaces, beaks pointing the same way, like a miniature flotilla at anchor. ? Thorney island has been an unchanging sample of Sussex's western maritime plain, a district that barely misses being as nether as the Netherlands. Windmills, dikes and narrow drainage ditches are a needed defense against the ?aa, which has ^ already engulfed the* site Ot ancient Selsey cathedral. Where English nobles 400 years ago pursued deer, fishermen now pursue lobsters and crabs ?and persist In calling their drowned hunting grounds the Park. "The Island takes an unobtrusive place In a network of military defenses radiating from Portsmouth od _ the west, including rifle ranges, torpedo schools, forts, submarine base*, provisioning sUttons.jtooks, and shipyards, growing slnce'4he days when, Queen Elizabeth sanctioned a state v lottery to finance the upkeep of hsr father's defense program." f Irf I CHE waa always bo lovely.
