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- side. ,For the rest of the tense drama of that fateful night, the survi- vors' trek back to the coast through drenching rain and mist, this engrossing book /mast be read. It was a heroic raid, ham- pered from the start; and the irony was that, even had it been carried 'out completely as planned, Rommel was not at his H,Q. that night. 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.

At Arbroath the fisher girls are trained in Hawick skills by time and mo- tion studies. And when finally inspected, pressed and packed in cello- • pikalle, most cashmere sweaters start off on journeys to the New World.

NAME ADDRESS ...... ........ ........... 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.

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. MIDDLE AGED couple seek work in private home or motel..If interested, write S.
