THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., APRIL 20, 1944 PREVIEW OF INVASION An indication of what skies over Europe will look like when the Allies invade Hitler's continental fortress is given in the spectacular photo above, showing massed descent by U. S. paratroopers in England, put on for Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme Allied Commander. A Sailor's Letter From British Isles The following extracts from a naval officer's letter home are well worth passing on: "Although this is the first time lince June of 1942 I have been in the British Isles, the contrast between then and now is quite apparent. The pedple are just two years more tired. .•'dreadfully tired; tired of blackouts, of rationing, of queuing up, of war generally, but there- is no sign of any less determination of seeing this thing through. When I was here last the first big raid had just gone over Cologne, and its effect was like a tonic to all England. However, jince then the mighty raids have continued with such regularity and dulling monotony that the original effect of the tonic has worn thin, and its place has been taken by that old feeling of dog-tiredness. I should think that the actual invasion will come like,.a .T.pring tonic to a too-long Winter-suffering people. I hope so." Bagpipes, Too? The Red Cross and St. John societies have announced the shipment of 14,000 musical instruments to British prisoners of war. As if uncertain of their category, it was added that bagpipes were included TOJO' IN HAWAII Inspection holds no fears foi "Tojo," tiny mascot pup of thii V. S.

He does »ot seek man's company in the firs jlace, and, when it is thrust upor lim, he is likely to abuse it. If h< s pampered he expects more pam wring. If he is given half a pi< «e will take the other half, if it i: within the reach of his powerfu paws. Then there are complaint: that he has become a nuisance, am he is shot. And it really is not hi: fault.

WHAT SCIENCE IS JMHNG Birth Of Earth Granting that the earth was torn out of the sun by a passing star in the form of a huge mass of gas, what was its early history? asks The New York Times. Dr. Perky G. Nutting presents this vivid I. :agine a huge ball of dense gas with a temperature of about 5,000 degrees C. The outer layers cool first. During the cooling process the gaseous earth is violently agitated, so that some elements combine to form liquids which alternately rise and then fall back in the form of rain. After the temperature of the earth drops a thousand degrees the first liquid core forms--a core of iron and iron alloys. At the liquid surface the atmospheric pressure is about thirty-two pounds to the square inch, or more than twice what it is now. The first solids appear at a temperature of 3,000 to 2,500 degrees C, and they probably float on the liquid sphere. Deeper down are heavy vapors of metal and of a few stable compounds of high density. All these vapors condense at higher levels, rain down and vaporize over and over again. At intermediate and higher levels water vapor (as much as 1.85 tons to the square inch) condenses and pounds down in the form of rain 'but never reaches the surface. At the outer limits of the planet there are free gases, very cold. When the earth cools down to 1,500 orOOO degrees C, silica and sili silicates form. They cover the core of the earth to a depth of miles and miles and supplant all but a few metallic vapors. In fact, there are vast Loss Of Oil Wells Won't Stop Huns The Red Army's advances imperil about 40 percent of Germany's petroleum supply--about 6,000,000 tons annually--in Ploesti, Poland and Estonia, but even if the Germans lose it, the Petroleum Press Bureau said last night, "it would be unwise to look for paralysis of the German war effort." It was explained that while the German army strategy "would obviously be severely hampered," the Germans \\oud be defending less territory in shorter lines of communication and thus w aid not need as much oil as before. The bureau added that continued bombing of German synthetic oil plants was necessary because of widespread use of such fuels by the Nazi army and air force. snow-storms of these silicates. How does life begin? Dr. Nutting does not know. But he believes that it originates in the polar regions. REWARD There is an urgent need for cars lo transport war workers to and from work.
