WHY OKINAWA GOING IS TOUGH Initial landings were unopposed, but the enemy was so well-pre- pared in the south that Yank's early speedy advance was slowed to about a mile a week because of . , . . . . long-prepared fortified caves and concealed pill-boxes in the steep hills. In yard-by-yard advance, Americans literally had to rout out Japs by hand, with rifle, grenades and flame-throwers. But capture . . . ... of one of the series of ridges exposed U. S. troops to intense mortar fire (Japs' most dreaded weapon) from the reverse slope and artillery fire from other ridges beyond. "We must never let Okinawa island fall to the enemy ... If we lost it, we would be cut off from the south and it would serve the enemy as a springboard for the invasion of Japan itself . . ." So wrote Tokutomi, Jap journalist. And Jap troops on Okinawa fight accordingly, with hitherto unknown skill and tenacity and a desperation that cost them, in the first nine weeks, some 50,000 dead out of the original force estimated at 85,000 men. Photos above illustrate why the Okinawa campaign proved one of the grimmust of the war. WAR GUESTS EN ROUTE TO HOMEâ€" AND ENGLAND! (Jl K y y 4. r Mrs. F. D. Coggan, wife of the principal of London College of Divinity, London University, and their two children Ruth and Anne have company for their trip home to England on a Canadian Pacific Railway train which took 225 evacuee children and Royal Air Force dependents from Montreal to ship's side on the east coast. Judy and Lester Scantlcbury, whose father is Rev. R. M. Scantlebury, were in th« Coggan party. Judy, (third left) lived at the home of Rev. J. S. Harrington, 122 Glen View Avenue, Toronto, and her brother stayed with Dr. R. Armitage, 20 Queen s Park, Toronto, while the Coggans were at University of Toronto.

PREVIEW OF POSTWAR CAR This streamlined postwar model â€" the handmade 194G Ford car, not the pretty blonde â€" will go into production within 60 to 90 days. Although exterior appearance is similar to pre-war models, cornpany officials say it has many mechanical improvements. How- ever, average motorists have to wait a year or more to buy one. FOG-DISPERSING 'FIDO' IN ACTION This first photo to be released on "Operation Fido" (Fog Investi- gation Dispersal Operations) shows how fog was articially dis- persed from RAF airfields by lines of burners on each side of main runways. In the picture, an RAF Lancaster is taking off, from clear-vision field, though fog hangs heavy up above. The British public often was puzzled during the war to read tliat raids had been carried out on Bcrhii or other places in Ger- many when they knew that over large areas of England there was widespread fog. No one knew how it could be done, but it was sup- posed that sromehow the pilots had found an airdrome free from fog. Actually, many landing acci- dents took place because of poor visibility and many potential bombing hours were lost. And for a long time it seemed that no answer to the fog problem could be found. Yet, in the end, the Petroleum Warfare Department found the answer. It was cnule and very extravagant in gasoline, and less expensive mctliods will have to be developed for "FIDO's" use in peacetime. Yi;t in wartime, when costs do not count, "FIDO" was greeted by British and .\meri- can fliers with a shout of joy. By means of tliat ingenious de- vice it was possible to de-fog an airdrome for the taking off of planes and to allow the fog to return after the planes had landed safely. "*« The device is a long rectangle of piping laid around the run- ways and pierced with small holes through which gasoline vapor can be pumped under pressure. When ignited this produces a wall of in- tensely liot flames. Within 10 minutes, the blazing heat con- denses the moist fog to liquid up to a height of about 100 feet above the ground. On July 17, 194-1, Air Vice-Mar- s'hal Bennett made four landings on a completely cleared rnnway of 1.30 yards, with the surrounding country lilanketcd in fog and with uiulcr 200 yards of visibility. Had it not been for the in- tensive bombing of Field Mar- shal Gen. Gerd von Rundstedt's supply lines in December, 19**, when fog was almost constantly over the British Pathfinders' airdromes, it is possible that the German push toward Antwerp might have succeeded and th« war might have been much pro- longed. "FIDO" came to the res- cue and it is expected to b« equally valuable in British peace- time civil aviation. SAVt 6y staying at FORD HOTELS £ MONfy.
