THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLJORNE, ONT., JUNE 22, 1944 DEFENSE THAT FLOPPED NotJ only did the Allies take beachheads tained the Nazi defense plans as well, the sandbox layout at Nazi headquarters. THE WAR • WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Combined Operation or Task Force Wins Battle of The Beachheads ' The ground soldier may say, wHth some justice, that all the bombs dropped on Germany in the last four years have not shaken the Nazi tyranny as deeply as have the last eight days of hand-to-hand fighting on the soil of Fiance, comments the New York Times. The airman can reply that without the long preliminary "softening up," without the massive air cover of D-Day, without the quick tactical support from the air and the intense strategic bombing which has hampered every German effort to bring up reserves, the beaches could never have been taken, much less held. And even the seaman can add that without the blasting fire of naval artillery ( the infantry divisions might never have fought their way beyond the coastal wall. But each -- if he had himself participated in the giant operation -- would probably make his point with a sober humility and an understanding of the other's contribution not always encountered among the theorists. Pre-Invasion Pounding The Normandy landing repre- the "task force" idea in its most While the reports have tended to throw the desperate heroism of the infantry and air-borne divisions into the highest relief, it is impossible to read the story without seeing the role of air power in its true proportions. The task was hard enough as it was; without air power, both on the scene and through the long preparatory months and years, it would clearly have been impossible. German aviation was remarkable by its ab-. sence; here at last was the concrete reward won by the men who had died long before in the Lancaster over Berlin or the Fort- swick or in a hundred other air battles. There has been no one crushing counter-attack; the German reserves have been so slow in arriving that it has been necessary to throw them more or less piecemeal into the action. Here is the result of the prolonged strategic pounding of all communications in western France both before D-Day and since. Unity Of Services It would be easy to continue the demonstration. Air power has brilliantly justified itself; but so has naval gun power and so has the ground army -- each, however, only in conjunction with the others. Some air officers still believe that the war might have been won by the total concentration of all energies upon the air alone. The argument can never be disproved, since the evperiment has not been made; but the whole weight of experience in the present war heavily against it. The great cesses have all be won, not by dependent arms, not on the ground or on the sea or in the air alone, but by the judicious combination of every available element upon whatever specific task presented it^lf. The*greatest, most intricate combination of all has been adopted for the greatest single task the Western Allies have attempted. Peppermint Grown For Commercial Use Most people will learn with surprise that peppermint has become an important commercial crop in ♦his area, says the Windsor Star. T>he plant is usually looked on as a weed that grows wild, and has only a few minor uses as a flavoring material.

'Zittermokka* Good For J^azi 'Jitters' The Germans, with an assist from Allied bombs, have coined another word to join blitzkrieg and ersatz in the international vocabulary. It's "zittermokka" (jitter coffee). Zittermokka is the German word for the extra rati«n of coffee given to inhabitants of heavily-bombed cities. Literally "zitter" means "tremble" and "mokka" is a common term for strong black coffee. »iH"1 TflliliaiMPHm SALE 130 acres, dairy farm, brick house, eight rooms, bank barn.
