JAPAN I ( wi?r?? * tffak Civilian air raid spotters will have no difficulty distinguishing Axis planes from those of the United Nations if they memorize the markings illustrated above. American and British planes have designs of red,'white and blue, and Russia has a red star. Watchers on the southern border occasionally may see the red triangle of Mexico.

VOU WOUDN'T KNOW IT I made another visit to my o!d home.place (and the house w here I ! I was born) a few days ago. Kverything: had shrunk up so. . . .since I was a kid. i The company" room that waa ao big jthen now measures only 12 by 13 feet. I I don t know why they called that room ' the company room": we lived ind slept and ate and sat In the other ,2 rooms of the house. There were 12 of us then, but I do not recall ever having heard that we were "scrowged" or packed and Jammed. ?The old pine-pole rafters and Joists were as sound as a dollar, but the bark had at last fallen off of them. While we lived there, betsy-hugs and wood borers kept our heads and the beds littered with sawdust. The cracks In the floors were as wide as ever. We had a hard time keeping our slate pen cJ1 b from falling through them: when they did fall however, two of us would have to crawl under the house and find them. One youngun looked while the other toted a pine knot torch. ?The old corn-crib was still there. That's were pa would make us shuck corn when we wanted to go fishing. It was about one-fourth as large last week as It was 40 years ago. The "big field" at the back of the house contained about 50 acres when we had to hoe cotton in it, but now it is just about the sire of a football Held. The old well that we drew water from is only about 30 feet deep today It used to be over 200 feet deep, and it grew deeper and deeper every time we had to draw a bucket of water. ?The big gully behind the born that was a grand canyon when I was about 10 years old and slid down its banks, but the other day it was only about 15 feet deep. The man who lives there told me it had been getting deeper and deeper for a long time. (I didn't believe a word se said: I remember well that gully was between 75 and 90 feet deep when I was gettlnv old enough to shift from shirts t*u? britches. He can't fool me). The ol<f | place held sweet momories; I wish I 1 had not gone back there this last time. But fs is not unlike the world today; the world is only about one-tenth the size it was 40 years agix Officers Finally ReceiveCommissions Sumter. Jan.
