Fisher would be up on head Flay and Don Meade up on brokers tip the spectators waited anxiously for the Barrier to be sprung that would carry into this race the grudge that existed be Iween the two hard Riding jockeys. And they were not disappointed from the Start the race Between the two was practically neck and neck with both jockeys crowding their horses into one another throughout the race.

They made such a horrifying blast that i thought we had been hit by a bomb Wien the firs one went off. At every blast from the big guns a a Cloud of soot dust and debris would come scuttling Down from the ceiling and smear everything up nearby bombs Shook us up too. One by one the electric Light bulbs were broken. The thick steel Walls of the Cabin Shook and rattled As though they were tin. The entire a cd sri shivered under each blast. Except in practice. And because of this they had been very sober and a Little unsure and More than a Little i rued about the invasion ordeal that Lay so near ahead it them. But then All within an hour and a half they became veterans. Their Cal went up like one of those shooting graph lines in the movies when business is Good. Serious game boys who had been All Bumble fit igers wire loading shells like machinery after 15 minutes when it became real. Boys who previously had gone through their temmies life Lessly were now veiling with bitter seriousness u inn la can t you pass those shells Laster a Clews were furious when the control officer made them hold their fire.

When it was All Over and we added things up it was found that four planes had been Mot Down. One Sailor killed and a couple dozen wounded around  at  How they did it what they saw what they thought. Alter that raid a great part of their inherent reluctance to go into action vanished. Their guns had become their pals the War became real the enemy had come alive for them and they did t fear it fun Bor area and no damage so much anymore. All done to the ships except j the Crew of sailors had just Ibyle holes from near misses.

I know that Many experienced off i eels who Are on tile watch for Good soldiers can Tell them instantly by the kind of Salute Given. Don t cheapen the Salute by having to be told about it. In working around officers too Many of us Are prone to become careless when going outside on the a reels. Maybe you have no love for the officer you meet but you act the part of a Soldier you would like him to be. You Are saluting the uniform and not the officer. That uniform came from Home the u. S. A. Remember that the officer or senior returns your Salute and must put More Effort into it than do for kind of Soldier that you Are.
