SINGLEIt Released by Western Newspaper Union. With fateful Sunday afternoon when, over a radio suddenly gone wild, the shocking and bewildering reports came in. Pearl Harbor had been attacked! People could hardly believe it. But it was true. The next day the United States declared war on Japan, and on December 16 war was declared on Japan's partners in crime, Germany and Italy. Since then many thousands of brave American boys have been wrapped in the flag they loved, or have found a last resting place be neath the ocean's swell. These men have illuminated the pages of American history with deeds as bright as the orange flash of a cruiser's guns. Fall of Wake Island. All will remember with reverence the epic of Wake island, when a handful of U. S. marines, marooned on a tiny atoll in the Southwest Pacific, made history in Courage. On this occasion a heroic garrison of less than 400 marines defended Wake Island against a powerful Japanese attacking force, from De cember 2 to 22, until they were overwhelmed by sheer numbers. With a few planes and a gun or two our boys sank seven Jap warships, one cruiser, four de stroyers, one submarine and one gunboat. Fall of Bataan. The next staggering shock of the war was the fall of Manila and the U. S. naval base of Cavite, in the Philippines. America took heart, though, when it learned of the magnificent defense which was put up by U. S. and Filipino troops in the rugged terrain of Bataan peninsula, under the leadership of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. As it was impossible to get reinforcements through the Japanese naval blockade of the Philippines, Bataan appeared doomed. We recall that in Bataan's darkest hour MacArthur was spirited out of the islands in a remarkadash to Australia ble under-covby the "mosquito boat" hero of Subic Bay, Lieut. John D. Bulkeley. Lieut. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright took over on Bataan Wainwright, d the general whom the boys loved as. much as MacArthur. Lacking food, heavy guns, planes and tanks, and facing an overwhelming superiority in enemy forces, Wainwright's men were finally overwhelmed by Jap forces estimated at 200,000 on April 9. Long after the guns on Bataan ceased firing, the guns of Corregidor (Wainwright's Rock) kept fir- - "PHE cost of a handsome pair cushions will be of litt'e you shop around for remnants r - satin or brocade; and for ham crepe or taffeta to make a fold edge as shown here in the 'etch.

The point is that if the election had been held on November 10 instead of November 3 the voters would have gone to the polls all in a rash of enthusiasm about whal their government was doing in the war, as a result of the landing in Northwest Africa.

If they are sore with the actions of their own party leaders, and particularly of the candidates for whom they are being asked to vote, they are apt to stay home. Not all of them, of course.
