Lt. Gen, William H, H. H. Mor

Rhine break-through, bosses the
Caribbean command. It includes
the West Indies, Cuba, Canal

14,000 ground troops scattered
around the islands. In addition he
has roughly 6,000 men about
equally divided between air and
naval units,
Lt. Gen. Thomas T. Handy,
USA, 58, an artillery veteran of
the first World War who served
as assistant Chief of Staff during
most of the last war, is boss of the

000 troops, among which are 10,000

of 36 heavy planes and the other
of 48 mredium-sized cargo planes.
The exact size of the bomb groups
stationed in England is a secret.

Uncle Sam Plans
To "“Flood Qut”
The White River
FORSYTH, Mo.—(NEA)—There
won’'t be any more “float irips”
along the alluring White River
down in the Missouri Ozarks after
this summer. Uncle Sam’s going to
flood out the river.
That's why the old-timers of
Forsyth are so busy right now,
riding, their long, narrow boats
down river with people who want
to catch a nice string of bass, pike,
bluegill or a mess of catfish the
easy way.
The Forsyth fishing guide works
hard only one way—coming back.
Going down river, he lets the boat
float along while he shows his
customers where to catch 'em. He
brings along the poles and bait,
plus food and a tent for overnight.
And then he mans the oars for the
trip home.
By next January 1, however, the
fishing experts of Forsyth, and the
rest of the town’s 190 residents
will have taken to the hills. Their
land has been bought by the gev
ernment for the huge Bull Shoals
dam to be constructed next spring
80 miles downstream.
White River will be flooded
back to Forsyth and beyond.
These easy-going folks have al
ready picked out a new location
for their town. It’s Shepherd of
the Hills Mountain, a peak about
two and a half miles to the west
and up through the hills from For
syth.
A few Forsyth old-timers have
erected cottages for themselves on
Shepherd of the Hills. But the
rest, clinging to home as long as
they can, hope to spend the rest
of the summer in the condemned

There are two groceries, a bar

nesses in Forsyth. They’ll sim
ply transfer sites when the rest
of the town goes.
Members of the Union Church,
only congregation in the town,
have been ahead of the rest.
They're already erecting-a mod
ernistic new structure “over on
the mountain.”
The float trips? Well, they’re
still going on, at least for the rest
of this summer. :
“After all, when the dam is
built, we’ll have a lake, won't
we?” a few optimists will tell you.
“Might even be more business
after that, even if you ean’t float
down river on a lake.”
