The- Corman radio broke the news shortly after midnight. New York time, on the morning of Tuesday . June 6, 1944. Three hours later the War Department and the Office of War Information con-flrme-d il Awaited for four long years 'inee the weary British plun-ed into the sea off Dun kerqin -, Ihe big drive had begun at la .t. On its outcome, said an impassioned Ol addressing swing shift war win kc-i s in Detroit, de pended the future of the world. Seldom if ever has America known a day of tension like that one. The public knew little more than that it was the greatest military operation in all the world's history. Let it fail, and four years of intensive plannine, the training of millions and much of America's mightiest produc tion, would be lost. The war might he prolonged for a cener ation. And Corporal Adolf Hitler might emerge as ruler of the world. So the nation waited, hoped and prayed. Routine proceedings halted In war plants, stores, the aters, court rooms, hospitals, .stock exchanges. School children sang hymns at D-Day assemblies. De partment stores closed their doors at noon and sent their workers home to pray. Newspapers dropped advertising to provide more space for news. Baseball leagues, boxing promoters, racetracks cancelled performances. Reno's clubs kept their gaming tables padlocked. Many restaurants refused to serve liquor. Donors Jammed Red Cross centers throughout the country, demanding to give their blood. In some places, future bookings for pint donations jumped 300 per eent. Men and women swamped the Grand Central Pal ace Induction Station in New York, offering to enlist at once. The National Maritime Union urged its entire membership to surrender shore leave to man any ship in any of the nation's ports. A baby born to a couple in Nor folk, Va., was named Dee Day Kdwards. One of the greatest radio audi ences of all time tuned in that night, to recite with President Roosevelt perhaps the most universally-spoken prayer in history. "Let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage to our sons wherever they may be . . . "Thy will be done, Almighty God. "Amen." Frank Davis Guest Speaker At Panther Creek Meeting By D. L. MESSER ! Mountaineer Correspondent j The people of the Panther Creek j Community combined pleasure and 1 business when they met Wednes day evening at the Baptist Church After the secretary's report of the last Community Development meeting was accepted, Frank Davis of the Iron Duff Community ad dressed tluv audience as guest -peaker. He used as his subject the Sc-iiplui'e from Oalatians 6 sev enth verse "Be not deceived, for God is not mocked; whatsoever a man sowelli that shall he also reap." Hi , reference was to the sowing of ijood and bad seed, and the ap plication to country, nation or community. Mr. Davis also told this anecdote about himself, and it drew many chuckles: Before he was to speak at a community meeting, he was in troduced as "Reverend Frank Davis." Mr. Davis began his address by reading some Scripture. When he finished his talk, a farmer approached him, shook his hand, and told him he "preached a good sermon," and what church did he come from. Others who addressed Wednes day night's meeting were Glen Fincher, L. Z. Messer, and Camion Arrington. They made suggestions on going on farm tours, and how such tours could be very helpful to the Panther Creek people. Cake and soft drinks were served by members of the refresh ment committee. Before the meeting adjourned, the chairman, Glen Fincher, an nounced Hiat the next Community Development Program session would be held at 7:30 June 15.
