ONTARIO AIRMAN HID 2 MONTHS IN SEWERS
Ottawa, Nov. 23-(CP)- P.O. J. Morris of Galt, under the protection of the Underground movement in Paris for two months before the Americans entered the city, more than once had to abandon his hideout and flee through the maze of sewers to find a new abode. Morris, on his 15th operational trip as an air-gunner, was shot down over France last July. He since has returned to Canada. He travelled more than five miles of the sewers of Paris … hearing through the Underground that the Gestapo was on his trail and that he would have to [move.]
Morris lost 15 pounds during the two months, but it wasn’t because of “… food” he said. “It was because … had to sit there and sweat it … And I’ll tell you, at times I [really] did sweat.”
