It can not depict the dally lives of the people while even community happenings only obtain their true proportions in retrospect. The history of any place has definite values; real commercial as well as more material worth.

The Allies, smashing into Normandy on a broad front, were reinforced all day Tuesday by streams of landing craft which were unmolested by enemy naval forces and also during the night in fresh air operations. Berlin radio indicated that airborne assaults were spreading confusion lchind the German lines and asserted that the Nazis had leen duped by parachuting sacks of straw loaded with explosives that blew up when they touched them. "Satisfactory progress" is lcing made in the invasion continuing under blows by great sea and air fleets, a communique said. Cautious officers described the tricky airborne operations as a "complete success."

The Germans denied that the Allies had penetrated Caen. There were still no reports of individual engagements. The Canadians won a beachhead and pushed inland after less than three hours of fighting. CHURCHILL IS WELL SATISFIED Prime Minister Winston Churchill said that troops were fighting in Caen, nine miles inland and the hub of roads and railways leading all over northern Normandy. Mr. Churchill said that the invasion was proceeding in "thoroughly satisfactory fashion." Casualties were unexpectedly light. Penetrations as deep as 13 miles were reported. German TransOcean radio reported further landings at the mouth of the River Ornc. It said that the invaders were completely sealed off at the river mouth area and losses were growing. Ross Munro scored his fourth consecutive beat for the Canadian Press with the first eye-witness story from France. The Germans reported Nazi counter-attacks launched cast of Cherbourg. They said that two British airborne battalions were alniosLwiped out at Deauville while others were pressed back at Lc Havre. NAZIS FEARFUL OF FURTHER LANDINGS The Nazi-controlled Vichy radio reported today that fresh naval forces were sighted off the Dunkerque-Calais area opposite Dover and some 200 miles northwest of Cherbourg. The Nazis express fear of further landings. Weather over the Channel is adverse today with a strong northwesterly wind whipping up the sea. Latest reports of the fighting today were that airborne divisions had captured several bridges north of Caen in fierce fighting which seems to be centred in that area. The major battle has not been joined. One Allied spokesman said that the expected progress had not been made, commenting that there was cause neither for pessimism or optimism but for "sober satisfaction."
