Lutekily it worked 1- but it was
a desperate moment.
They found the guard-tent in
the villa grounds empty, The
rain had cl riv en all but one
guard by the gate into the house,
and Keyes quickly disposed of
him, going forward alone. He
then, told three men to go and
watch the back door and fire
on anyone who came out,
Keyes led the assault on the
house, with Campbell, 'Sergeant
Terry, Drori, Bombardier Bro-
die, and Lance-Corporal Coulth-
read, his batman; all that could
be spared when the men for
other covering jobs had been de-
tailed off, Mounting the 'front
steps, he knocked on the door
with his revolver, demanding in
German to be let in.
It was opened by a German
in steel helmet and overcoat.
Keyes at once closed with him.
There was a tough struggle be-
tween two inner glass doors.
Campbell shot the German. They
advanced into a large hall with
doors opening off it, and in a
room behind one found about
ten Germans in steel helmets,
some sitting, Some standing.
Campbell threw in a grenade,
Terry gave them a Tommy-gun
burst.
"Well done," said Keyes, but
before he could shut the door the
Germans fired. A bullet struck
him just over the heart. He fell
unconscious, and was dead by
the time.he could be carried out-

irony was that, even had it been
carried 'out completely as
planned, Rommel was not at his

Knitwenr nig
Scots Business
You may search in vain for
the date in your history book,
but the modern "sweater" age
started on a Crimean battlefield
little more than 100"years ago.
It was Lord Cardigan who is-
sued British soldiers a woolen
garment for wear under their
uniforms in 1854. The English
peer, seeking to protect his men
from the Crimean winter, thus
determined the pattern of the
Scottish knitwear industry for a
century;
When
ixh
women began to see the
possibilities of the "cardigan" as
an alternative 'to the starched
blouse, Scottish knitting ma-
chines could scarce keep pace
with the demand.
When Canadians and Ameri-
cans fell in love with cashmere
the "cardigan" became a "sweat-
er,"
The gray stone town of Ha-
wick (pronounced Hoyk) in the
Scott border country was way
ahead in the race for cardigan
production. By 1900, knitwear
from the mills in Hawick was al-
ready finding favour in North
American markets.
Today 'there are 26 knitwear
firms in gaunt stone mills in the
foothills of the Cheviots and
along the .,banks of the dashing
Teviot river which alows through
the town.
On a recent visit to traemar's
malls I found the well-lighted,
gay modern workrooms in strong
contrast to the rugged thick stone
outer walls of the 19th century

In the Braemar mills, I saw
automatic machines knitting the
parts of eight sweaters at once.
Though the actual knitting is
done on power machines, the fin-
ishing is a hand process.
There is no formula for the
most skilled process in the mak-
ing of a cashmere sweater, This
is the milling, or washing out of
the oil before drying and final
pressing.
Two rustic cottages in Den-
holm, "the sort, of cottage one
would like to live in," a former
clergy house at Newcastleton,
the Duns Town Hall in Berwick-

have all been taken over for
smaller factories. At Arbroath
the fisher girls are trained in
Hawick skills by time and mo-
tion studies.

Shortly before 'Lt.-Col. Geof-
frey Keyes, V,C., was killed in
the daring raid on Rommel's
North African I-1,Q, he received
a letter from the girl he hoped
to marry, saying she was getting
engaged to someone they both
knew well.
- The letter, delayed for weeks,
was a 'numbing shock, his sister,
Elizabeth Keyes, says in a vivid
biography, "Geoffrey K eye s,
V.C." There had never been an
engagement, only an under-
standing that each would tell
the other should they find some-
one they loved better.
He had always told her of his
overwhelming ambition. Nor-
mally, it would have taken
seventeen years to become a
battalion commander. He had
no intention of marrying until
then, and could never ask her
to wait. But ,now, having been
Acting Lieut. - Colonel for five
months, his hopes had risen.
She shared his love of sailing,
though not of horses and ski-
ing. From their first meeting
they had been great friends.
On reflection, he realized that
the man Of her choice was the
right one for her, and after
rallying from the shock, wrote
wishing them every possible
happiness when he was already
embarked with half his men in
the submarine Torbay, two days
out from Alexandria in Novem-
ber, 1941.
"I chose my future and told
you frankly at the time, and I
seem to be achieving it," he
wrote. "One cannot have every-
thing in life. I have ^ got my
wish, and you have your happi-
ness . . . I am writing this now
as I am on my way to do more
dirty work at the Crossroads.
... The chances of getting away
with it are moderately good, but
if you get this letter it means
I have not got back, as I am
leaving it with someone. . . ."
A postscript said: "I will in-
sist on being Best Man if I am
home in time !" The letter ,was
to be destroyed, should he re-
turn safely.
Was that initial disappoint-
ment in view of subsequent
events an omen ? Bad weather
severely hampered the seer et
landing on the North African
coast.,
It was a bitterly cold night,
with a heavy swell. A sea. came
aboard Torbay, washing several
rubber dinghies and one man
overboard. Lieut. Tommy Lang-
ton and Able Seaman James
Vine spent` six hours swimming
about collecting the dinghies,
diving in some fifty times to
bring them back and help men
up. again. Everyone was soaked
through. The Bren-gunner who
had to cover re-embarkation
from the beach was washed out
of his boat five times.
The other sub, Talisman, fared
worse, seven boats and eleven
men were swept 'overboard at
the outset, more later. She spent
until four a.m. -- when the
moon was well up — recovering
all she could, then withdrew
with a hydroplane damaged.
Ten men, it was reported, had
probably reached" shore. Of the
eighteen left on board all but
six had lost equipment, Eight
rubber boats were recovered.
Most of the men washed over-
board had swum back to the
Talisman instead of to the boats,.
Which drifted away in the dark.
To Make matters worse, the
trek Over rocky hill-tracks to
Rommel's H.Q. at Sidi Rafe had
to be done through heavy rain
and thunderstorm instead of the
usual dry Weather they had ek-
peetetl. And they had trouble
with native guides who wanted
to turn back,
The whole drama of the Mid-
night attack is graphically des-
cribed,

Gogro, a native of the Ivory
Coast or West Africa, was a
planter, trader and Communist
Probably in that Order. Ile
drove about in a smart red car
and traded with the great mer.
chants 01 Abijan.
Missionary-educated, he Was
to-founder of the Democratic
African. Assembly, Which stood
for national independence and
hated U.S. Imperialism."
When explorer arassOldt Davis
Visited his village he Was told
that a local sorcerer, Krong, had
examined Gogro's fancy car
(which he regarded as a symbol
of degenerate American capital-
Jena, bought by the near-slave„
labour of Gogro's plantations).
He had watched Gogro's mag-
nificent new house rise from a
hill (built with black-market
dollars and U.S. steel), and had
then told Gogro: "There will be
terrible things happening if ever
you, the Communist, put foot in
that capitalist edifice of yours.
'Ulcers you'll have, and boils, and,
flaking of the scalp, and never
another dream, my son."
So Gogro decided not to trifle
with his tribal gods. He would
abandon his fine house and re-
turn to his ancestral mud hut.
Magic, he knew, was mightier
than Marx.
Later, when Davis's party
called on the commandant of
Tiebissou village, the official told
him that "native Communist
goons" had had the nerve to beat
up his guards one night. So his
men raided them in retaliation.
"They were celebrating," said
the commandant. "We crept up
slowly, slowly, and saw them
dancing .. . drunk as coots. We
surrounded them and shot vol-
leys over their heads. And I
called from the dark that they
must come to us and apologize.
They did!"
Davis discloses many other
strange aspects of native life in
his exciting book, "Sorcerers' Vil-
lage". He once witnessed the
ceremonial crowning of a tribal
king, and during the subsequent
celebrations nine virgins danced
madly through the dusty streets
between the mud huts, each car-
rying on her head the blood-
stained stool of a dead king. With
the new king leading them, they
then marched sedately to holy
ground in the trees across the
river, where the priests waited
to test him for kingly virtues,
'athe him, and wash away his
sins,
Davis's main objective was an
intertribal sorcerers' school at
Yho. As an amateur magician
who could work wonders with
mechanical tricks which .really
worked themselves, he says, he
was at first viewed with suspi-
cion by the elder wizards there,
who feared competition, but
won their friendship by gifts of
simple tricks.
His tape-recorder certainly
mystified them. Once, playing
back a recording of a chief's
voice to the chief, Davis foagot
that it was a used tape from
which he had omitted to erase
several recordings made in New
York: party and 'table talk and
radio songs.
His interpreter, N'dri, couldn't
find the exact place on the tape
where the chief had begun talk-
ing, so what came out was jazz-
king Louis Armstrong "chanting
like a syncopated gorilla."
The chief leapt back in alarm,
asking, "Is that I?"
"That is your soul's true voice,"
said N'dri, quickly.
