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. Axis raiders are easily spotted through the familiar blade
cross and swastika of Germany, the round red rising sun emblem of Japan and the Roman fasces
Insignia borne by Italian planes.

THE OLD PLACE HAS CHANGED
SO. 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
