Washington
United States' warships blasted two
Japan ese bases, M u nda and Vil a, in
the Solomons and sank two large destroy ers when the enemy tried to
drive them off. The bases were attacked by air as well as by sea.
Secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox,
reported that the United States' seven-ocean fleet will be commissioned
and in active combat service against
the enemy in the latter part of 1945,
two years ahead of schedule.
Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of
Agriculture and Paul V. McNutt, War
Manpower Commissioner, agreed on a
program to halt the drafting of skilled
farm workers effective immediately
because the continuation of drafting
farm workers would seriously hamper the nation's food production program.
The Senators proposed broad deduction in OPA controls. The proposals included reduced personnel,
limited scope of price control to basic
commodities only, abandoned attempts to regulate profits, and raised
ceij ings on farm products.
On March 3, OPA Administrator ,
Prentiss Brown, ordered an end to
police enforcement of the East's ban
on pleasure driving. Future compliance will depend upon an "honor system." The ban will probably be- entirely eliminated by March 22, when
new gasoline coupons go into effect.
Australia
One of the greatest triumphs of the
war occurred when an aerial armada
of Allied planes destroyed a powerful
Japanese convoy, sinking or disabling
all ten of its warships, all twelve
of its transports, wiping out fifteen
thousand troops and downing fifty five protecting Nippon fighting planes.
Only one Allied bomber and three
fighters were lost.
Enemy sources quote Tojo as saying
that official Japan believes it must
win the war this year or face defeat.
Before the destruction of the Japanese convoy, Tojo assured the world
that Japan could fight for one hundred years if necessary.
London
The Russians scored their third
maj or victory in a week by taking the
big Nazi base of Gzhatsk, one hundred miles west of Moscow and the
nearest point to the Soviet capital in
the German 's crumbling hedgehog
defense system. Its capture released
a three-directional Russian drive on

At their weekly meeting, the

DAYROOM DOIN »S
' For a few days, a week or so ago,
spring entered the dayroom and the
wintex*-\vear usually found on the

thin coats. But last week "Old Man

the room with heavy coats, "kerchiefs," gloves and boots, and the
radia tors "hsst" all day long.
If nothing else came from the last
rationing, it at least gave some of the

what's going on when she gets up for

Brown—Suez to Singapore
The first hand story of war by Cecil
Brow n , the reporter who has the
genius for being on the scene. His
adventures are set forth in diary form
from April, 1940, when he was ej ected from Rome to March, 1942, when
he sailed from Australia for America
af ter spending many months in Singapore watching the approaching end
of that fortress in the Far East. In it
and of paramount importance and interest are the stories of the sinking of
the Prince of Wales and the Renown.
Van Loon—Van Loon's Lives
Whole fabric of history comes vividly through intimate, even gossipy,
association with forty historical personages, from Confucius to Jefferson ,
and from Queen Elizabeth to Emily
Dickenson. Two or three important
guests from Heaven (or Hell) are entertained at dinner each Saturday.
Preparations for the meal and the
music plus political and religious gossip that the author explains to unlettered Frits, create the background.
Werf el—Song of Bernadette
On February 11, 1808, a poor, miserable, rather dull-witted but imaginative fourteen-year-old girl, Bernadette Soribirous had a vision of a
beautiful lady, a vision later declared
by the Church to be a true evocation
of the holy virgin. In the last days
of June, 1940, the author Franz Werfel , in desperate flight from the Nazis
found himself at Lourdes. In the extremity of his distress he vowed that
he would some day write the story of
Bernadette so that he might magnify
even in our inhuman era "the divine
mystery and the holiness of man."
The Song of Bernadette is. the fulfillment of that vow.

V. Washvilla Tops
Husky Point-Makers
Valente, Slegeski and Chesney
Follow! Closely, McCloske y
Best FoGl Shooter
Vince Washvilla, who left for active duty in the Air Corps before the
season was over, is the leading scorer
oi the Husky basketball team this
year with a total.of 95 points to his
credit. Washvilla, a Junior, was near
the top all winter, and his nineteen
points against West Chester practically clinched individual scoring honors. He also had the most field goals,
42.
Three Close Behind
The next three positions go to boys
who are only three points apart. Tony
Valente, the Hazleton speedboy^ has
dropped in 89 markers from his forward spot over the eleven game span
to rate second. In third place is John
Slegeski, who even though he missed
two games, racked up 87 points.
Slegeski had the most foul chances,
32 , and also led in caging the one
pointers with 19. Still another department Slegeski topped was the
point average per game. The Freeland sharpshooter recorded an average of 9.67, slightly above Washvilla's
9.5.
Joe Chesney, last year 's leading
scorer , slid down the ladder three
notches this season to rank fourth
with 86.
Foul Shooting: High
Captain Walter McCloskey, veteran
guard of four years, has the best foul
shooting percentage with a mark of
.692, accomplished by successfully
making nine out of thirteen tries
good. Valente was a close second
with .684. Charlie Bomboy, though
not on the first five, posted an average of .800, compiled by converting
four of five attempts.
The team average in the free throw
department was unusually high, and
the Huskies boast one of the best records in the state this year in this respect. With a total of 82 of 139 shots
converted, the team mark is a lusty
.674.

Pigeon Power
Carrier pigeons are still important
elements in Signal Corps operations ;
they supplement and often supersede
other forms of communications. Recently the Signal Corps pigeon-men
ha ve developed an aerial "bomb" for
releasing the birds from planes,
which will also adapt the use of carrier pigeons to high altitude flying.
Atmosphere above 10,000 feet is too
rarified for the pigeons to fly in. The
new "bomb" is a wire cage, covered
with canvas, and equipped with a
timing device . Dropped from a highflying plane, the cage collapses and
releases the pigeons when it reaches
a level at which the birds can take
wing. For altitudes of less than 10,000 feet, no cage is needed , say the
experts ; but the pigeons must be protected from the backwash of , the
plane 's propeller. An ordinary No. 12
grocery bag, silt half way down the
middle , does the trick. The pigeon is
placed in the bag and dropped from
the plane; after f allin g a few hundred
feet, the bag is blown away and the
pigeon soars towards its destination,

WAR STAMPS•
*

Many boys and girls are as familiar today with the insignia of our
Soldiers, Flyers and Marines as
they are with the various models of
airplanes. These insignia, stitched
on to the sleeve, shoulder or collar
of the uniform, designate the soldiers' outfit and rank'. They are

Insignia—millions of dimes invested in War Saving Stamps by American boys and girls. The public,
private and parochial schools are
helping to do this job in tho war effort through participation in, the
Schools at War Program, which
gives each student a part in America 's war effort. Investment in War
Stamps is one of the most important ways in which tho school children can share in the honor to their
