SMILEY In a chat with one of the teach, ers at'the IHigh•Sehool Open House the other night, I got a severe jolt. Talking of the pupils, he remarked: "It's. hard to believe that most, of the kids in "high school don't re- member the war." '''He pointed .out that they were either toddlers or in diapers, when the war ended, 13 years ago. * * d: must admit it upset me. Made me feel old 'and sad. However, that night in bed, 1 reminisced, and cheered up considerably 'as I re- called the exciting, even happy days of,.May,-11145. * M * -I-wasn't in -diapers -when -the -waw ended. I was in jail. Me and 10,000. other knights of . the air, whose Pegasi (a pre -jet model) had been shot out from under them. * * ,* We had reason to be somewhat less, than ecstatic, when Mr. Churchill announced that the con- quered people of Europe were at last -free. About -May 5th,. our German guards had folded their glockenspiels and' crept away into the night. ,,.e.: .. _... .fort-4n..a ., . .. .....- ... ..�._..,,, We scarcely iia l time to • pour into the countryside, drink every- thing we could lay hands on, start affairs with all the,German girls, and slaughter a few dozen head of beef for a massive barbecue, when our gallant allies, the Rus-" signs, arrived, and herded us all back behind barbed wire. We'd merely exchanged one set of scowl- ing guards for anomer, complete with burp .guns. , * s: * So there we sat and sulked,,while roisterers__.,.roistered in times Square and Piccadilly Circus, cele- brating the end of the affair. The war 'was over and we were still on the cabbage soup and black bread circuit. . * Day after day we waited for the aircraft which were supposed to come and 'fiy us home. Finally; a few of us, driven to despair by the .thought of -all- those beautiful wo- men, brussels sprouts and ' other delicacies on the outside, revolted. * ,;;. And so it came about that, just 13 years ago this week, 1 was walk- ing down the highway from Ros- tock to Wiesmar, .a song in. my heart, a blister on my heel, a vac- cuum in my stomach, and a very rugged character frotn Chicago, Tony Manoli, by my side. • * * ..91S:iX.4wurs k'before, --we'rd 5 crawled •on our bellies between two sen- tries, after cutting the wire with homemade shears. Then we'd run, in the dark, with a speed and sil- ence that amazes me still, waiting for the shout or the b -u -u -r -r -r -r -p. Jolly! * * * But that was behind, Ahead -lay 90 miles and three days in a coun- try in chaos, swarming with people of every nationality, Baits, Steve; French, German and Russian, slaves and. soldiers. We •learned that nobody, travels as fast and as -free -is-the-man-who- -has--nothing.- * * * We walked riles., We feasted and we starved. We lode in every -- thing, from a two -horse landaulet, driven by a tough qqld German lady who spoke about Shake'apeare; to a big Buick sedan, driven by a drunk- en Russian officer who scared the 'living ectoplasm out of, us. , * * * We drank a pitcher of warm milk, proffered by a young German girl,, who told us, with what seemed remarkable unconcern, that she'd been raped •by Russians four times in four days. The same . evening, under a railroad bridge, we roasted stolen ducks over a fire and shared a couple of bottles of bingo with some Rusaian soldiers. * * *. Tony fell in love with as ,,blond' French refugee, and fell out again just as quickly when her husband, .i large, darks 'fierce man, material - zed and began scratching his dan- Jruff with an eight -inch knife. I had a fight' with a Yugo -Slav (a ;mall orae) when he tried to steal >ome cigarettes Tony had stolen Brom an even smaller Italian. A free-for-all started, but nobody'd liad much to eat for a year or so, j And the rest.il•tant bloodshed was what. -you miglft see if a couple of members of. the Over40 Club had a pillow fight. '" a •* * * And so it went, in a hundred other incidents. When we finally gained the British lines, we stop- ped and looked back into that sea of humanity in which we had sport- ed, swum, and sometinies nearly drowned4 ' 'We bade it goodbye wordlessly, sadly, before turning and walking into the desert of organized, sensible, disciplined liv- 14 ing again. 13-24 HOME ECONOMIST HAS - MESSAGE FOR 4-H GIRLS • On 'T'uesday'evening of last week, "Goderich Home Guardians" held their seventhmeeting at the home of Mrs. Wilson.
