ran for the house, one of the
men threw a hand grenade at a
hole in the roof, it didn’t quite hit
the hole and it looked like for a
minute we were going to play
ante-over with the grenade, but
we did some more fast running.

another Tmrst of the M. G. was
very loud, so we started for the

On the Front, Jan 10.—Rceived
a paper today, dated Nov. 19 or
something, and I notice in the
“heard” column that a member of
a Tank Bn., over here claims that
he is really going to pfay havoc
with the Beilin library. Those
Tankers really get around, but we
engineers don’t do so bad our-
selves: however I don’t recall see-
ing many of the Tankers on D-
Day. It was the combat engineers
that cleaned the beaches of mines,
booby traps and other objects so
the tanks could land safely—
man in the States or England was
rather romantic: you didn’t worry
about a German for miles around:
but over here we have a respect
for the tank men — they’ve got
plenty of gots. We appreciate
their fire-power. It’s wonderful
to hear them firing at a target.
I think they sorta like the combat
engineers too, because we build
bridges for them, remove mines
from the roads so they can get
through—safely! * *

We do more than tell you, thru
our advertising messages—of the
completeness and excellence of
our service. We back up those
statements with fact. Only you
who have required funeral ser-
vices for a loved one in the past
can fully understand the moun-
tain of detail that we can lift
from inexperienced shoulders,

The Sign of GOOD SERVICE!
CPL’s blue and white pentagon sign stands for depend-
able electric service to you. When you press a button
or flick a switch day or night, electricity is ready and
waiting to answer your needs.
The fact that your electric service is good has been
made possible by the hard w'ork of experienced em-
ployees, plus sound business management.
CPL men and women make it their business to serve
you and Uncle Sam with ample, dependable, low-cost
electricity. f
\ if. < i,
Wherever there’s a CPL sign, it means good service!
