Highway commission school zone warning signs Mason City officials were no- ified Monday that the State Highway Commission has ap- roved a City Council recommendation for use of portable igns to warn drivers of school ones on highways. Mayor George E.

Mendon Monday morning had not earned exactly what size of sign suggested or what the word rig of the sign would be. However, the signs are to be of the "Slow" or "Caution- School Zone" type to be placed! in the streets during times when youngsters are going to or from school. They would be set out as an additional warning -before drivers come to school stop signs or signals. The use of such signs was suggested at last week's City Council meeting by a delegation representing the Mason City PTA Council.

Into the telling went 1,000 interviews conducted in 10 countries concerning this last furious counter-attack by Germany in the West during December 1944, loss of control on both sides in shrouding fog and snow. Bastogne's defense threw off the Nazi timetable, and clearing weather on Dec. 23 brought American airpower and the turning point. This reviewer remembers the Christmas Eve which followed as the 4th Armored Division moved up to rescue the trapped 101st Airborne, and especially one simple unforgettable cele bration (over fresh eggs) in a Belgian farm home. IN RECENT MONTHS, two accounts the allied invasion of Fortress Europe have been delinquency (han S7olcll ers rom both sides.

Predominant ar understatement juvenile America: 1. Americans are more hostile toward adolescents. As result mrou we do not plan for the problems of youth. The American juvenile is more likely to be out of control and in deep trouble before he gets any attention. Problems of European youth are more often anticipated and hence solved before they become critical and need police or court action.

2. We Americans seem almost obsessed with prolonging the childhood of adolescents. The European youth has an opportunity to participate in adult society at an earlier age and develops a sense of responsibility and a feeling of his worth when hr is much younger. 3. Europeans treating juvenile delinquency do not make a fetish of scientific methods.

and the sense of confusion which resulted from the lack overview of events. That over view is supplied by John-Frayn Turner in his "Invasion '44 The First Full Story of D-Daj in Normandy." Veterans Day 14 years after the second great war finds a mature literature preoccupiec ess with "what, where, when low" and more with the reflec five "why" of combat experi ence. J.
