SANDY’S CORNER

LLNOTYPER’S DELIGHT First Welshman: ”Where were you born, Mr. Jones?” Second: “In Llanrhaiadr-yn-Moch-nant. What was the place of youi nativity, Mr. Morgan?” First: ”My family came from Rhosllanerch-rugog, but I first saw the light of day in the village of Llanfairltwlll - gwyngyll - gogerych - \v yrndrobwll-llantisil-iogogogoch.” Advance. CREDIT FDR ENGLAND. We Americans are smart people. We admit it—and we can prove it, if necessary. We made colossal contributions to winning World War 11. But there are other smart people on earth. And they made colossal contributions to victory, too. The outstanding spectacular weapons of World War 11 were radar and the atomic bomb. The English also were pioneers in jet propulsion. They invented and perfected the Bailey bridge. They designed and built the prefabricated portable harbour which made the invasion of France possible -and successful. They* build aeroplanes second to none in the world. And Sir Alexander Fleming, of London, discovered penicillin, the wonder drug responsible for preserving the lives of thousands of Americans and others wounded In battle. England's accomplishments in World War II are little short of miraculous. It has frequently been said that we saved England. We are not so sure that it was not England that saved us! —From the Cadillac (Michigan) ‘Evening News.” •**
