PINEBLUFF NEWS & PERSONALS the Nijmegen bridge from en trenched German SS troops and paratroopers. “We were attending Mass when American planes were sighted approaching the coast, “Tromp said, “and the priest sent us all home.” There had already been one other raid alarm that morn ing, when American bombers smashed the local electric power plant. Everyone went home, and Tromp recalls friends and rela tives coming by the houses telling of rumors that American para troopers were landing. Hearing aircraft, the Tromps climbed to the roof of thehir house, which set on a hill on the outskirts of Nijmfegen, and from there they saw American paratroopers jumping. The Tromp residence was in the line of fire as American and German forces battled for con trol of the town, and the Amer icans evacuted them to a small village outside of Nijmegen. A seminary in the village had been converted to a hospital and Tromp helped transport wounded and dead American soldiers for the duration of the battle. Tromp had a grand time Mon day, at the 82nd’s museum, where numerous mementoes of the Ni jmagen operation are kept. He also liked the demonstration by the 82nd’s tactical free fall team. The team jumped from an altitude of 12,500 feet and passed a baton between the team members five times before opening their para chutes. After the demonstration, the team gave Tromp the baton. Later in the day Maj. Gen. Robert H. York, commander of the 82nd, presented Tromp with an official visitor’s book. Tromp came to the United States in 1957, when he set up an importing business in Chicago.

Col. A. M. Koster, county CD director, pass es on the following from the State CD Bulletin: According to the Weather Bu reau, the probability that we niay have to cope with hurricane dis aster this year is considerable— since it has been several seasons since any of these devastating storms have crossed our coastline to wreck inland havoc. Bureau officials warn that any person who lives less than 300 miles from the Atlantic Ocean may some time find himself in the path of a hurricane —which applies to more than half the people of our State. So, residents and vacationers alike all need to be familiar with the simple pre cautions outlined below: Before the storm:—^have the gas tank of your car filled, and the battery and tires checked. Draw a supply of drinking water from the tap, fand stock up on food that needs no cooking or refriger ation. Have on hand a flashlight, battery-operated radio, and first- aid kit. Store all loose objects, and board up or tape upwindows. If you’re in a low area that might be flooded, get out. During thq storm J—stay in doors. Don’t be fooled when the calm “eye” of the storm parses over, as winds of the storm soon will resume from the opposite di rection. Listen to radio or tele vision for instructions. After the storm:— do not drive unless necessary; if you do, watch for undermined pavement. Be on guard against fire, fallen power lines, or injury from fall ing objects. Report broken pow er wires, sewer pipes, water lines. Use your telephone only for emergency calls.
