June 5:
* * *
Tomorrow the Day
‘Tomorrow is the day. The tar
get; The invasion beachhead be
hind Cherbourg peninsula . . -
know I shan’t have time later so
let me jot down just a few ran
dom thoughts that come to mind.
‘Before the calm, which the
morning sun will tear from the
lace of heaven, we charge at
dawn!’ . . . D-day finds the Am
erican soldier abroad enjoying
popular music of this type: “Vic
tory Polka.’ ‘Cowboy Boogie,’
•No Love, No Nothin’,’ ’Marsey
Doats,’ ‘Never Slept a Wink Last
Night,’ and the pub song, ‘Lay
Me Down’. (No war song has
ever caught on permanently.) We
sing ‘Lily Marlene,’ the German
song, to English w'ords. . . Irving
Berlin’s songs are very popular.
... Popular books: ’The Robe,’
‘Valley of Decision,’ ‘So Little
Time,- ‘A Tree Growls in Brook
lyn’. . . Popular comics: ‘Jane,’
*Lil’ Abner,’ ‘Male Call,’ Terry
and the Pirates’ . . . Favorite mov
ies: ‘Song of Bernadette’ with
Jennifer Jones, and ‘Madame
Curie’. . . Most war pictures are
too brash for the soldiers. . .
Scotch is the favorite drink;
women the favorite subjects; let
ters from home, now and always,
the favorite reading.”
June 6 (D-day):
“Briefing at 2300 last night for
36 crews; at 0230 this morning
briefing for 12 more. (This is
OSOO hours.) These facts sound
comparatively unimportant, but
i they usher in one of the most
; .momentous days of history. This
I is D-day. For several days now
I eteryone on the airdrome has
I sensed it coming. Yesterday all
I public telephones in the vicinity
were disconnected, all personnel
ordered to stay on the post, all
antiaircraft guns on the field
fully staffed. There has been a
! sense of expectancy and there
| has been tension. Tne boys talk
• ori r% 11 iot 1 oKnnf it lact PvPn i n cf
Many wrote brief letters home.
May the censor be generous. (I
have any number of them to mail
if —.) All who could went to
bed early. ‘If tomorrow is the
day, then I want to go!’ That’s
the expression of nearly every
one. It isn’t that they are eager
to get into combat, but now, at
last, they can project themselves
into the titanic battle on the
continent. They want to do their
bit for their comrades on the
ground. One said to me some
thing to'this effect: ‘It’s better to
die than to miss the greatest emo
tional event of one’s generation.’
The old fella thought of Henry’s
address to his troops at Agin
ccurt on St. Crispans day. Henry
had no finer group than we who
are briefing these boys today.
* * *
Excitement Subdued
“The briefings. Quiet. Profes
sional. Concise. No excitement,
unless subdued. Evidently the
ground forces will attempt to
cutoff the German peninsula.
Eleven thousand aircraft will
participate. Magnitude is beyond
conception.
“Messages from Generals Doo
little and Hodges. The meaning
of their words was lost in the at
mosphere. Every man seemed
strained to get at it, yet every
man sat through the longest,
most thorough briefing ever giv
en, attentively, anxiously. Big
pictures, targets, flak, fighters,
v%eather communications, all the
usual information—with empha
sis. ‘Do not drop short under
any circumstances ... do not
drop after 0628 . . . our troops
land at 0630.’
“We were at 16,000 feet when
the first light came, accomplish
ing the last leg of our compli
cated assembly and exit from
the friendly island. It was a
lovely dawn, layers of high stra
tus clouds in the west, all pur
ple and pink as the sun rose. The
familiar English coast was visi
ble through occasional breaks. A
calm, dark sea crawling witi
boats, punctuating their move
ments with white exclamation
points. Hundreds of boats, large
and small . . .
"The second mission had taker
off before the first landed. The
briefing room was quiet and
empty awaiting the third. Inter
rogation, coffee, breakfast with
old-fashioned eggs.
"II seemed impossible to give
way to mortal sleep when we'd
just seen the invasion, taken
part in the invasion.
"The British (and German) I
radios had just awakened to the i
invasion by now . Every man !
who didn’t fly asked about the j
invasion.
"Invasion, invasion, invasion! j
"Dinner at combat crew mess:
D-day special—pork chops a la
Normandy, potato salad Cher- j
bourg, French peas, English tea, I
American pudding.
"We thought they weren’t
n.essing as well on the beaches
between LaHavre and Cher
bourg.’’

Marks Our
15th Anniversary
$52,899,188 Benefits
to Nebraskans in
15 Years of Consumers Service
Serving
355
Nebraska
Communities
Electrically
/
Significant of the 15th Anniversary of Consumers Public Power District
is the fact that direct benefits to customers served total $52,899,188—
considerably more than the total original cost of the entire system.
These benefits include:
$16,541,584 savings to customers through rate reductions
814,595,000 Bonds retired from earnings
$21.162,604 improvement and additions paid for from earnings
It is also interesting to note that, during these 15 years, homes served by
Consumers Public Power District have increased their use of electricity
from an average of 746 KWH per year in 1939 to an average of 2.226 KW’H
in 1954.
Yet, while other living costs have skyrocketed, the cost of electricity has
dropped from an average of $.0471 per KWH for residential use in 1939, to
an average of $.0278 per KWH in 1954.
Low cost, dependable electric power, available to every community through
the inter-connected state-wide system of Consumers Public Power District,
while making possible better living for Nebraskans, has also played a lead
ing role in industrial, farm and community development. This is real
Nebraska progress of which every Nebraskan can be proud.
