MONTREAL, Sept. 29.-Hardy M.
Ray of Washington, member of the
United States War Production
Board, told the Canadian Manufac-
turers' Association yesterday that
the Allies can win the war only If
they out think, outright, out-sweat
and out-produce the enemy"
Addressing priorities meeting of
the c. M. A, Mr.. Ray said the peo-
pie of the United States need more
will to fight and more will to win"
in addition to more raw materials.
I'VE feel that we have contributed
a lot because we have undergone
rationing and made minor contribu-
tons to the war effort" he said.
I'VE shall not have to suffer the
hunger and privation and agony
that other nations have suffered.
But I do not believe we have yet
been completely aroused to the situ-
alton which faces US
He said more emphasis should be
placed on winning the war than
winning the peace.
"Our objectives must be to kill
Germans, Italians and Japs as fast
as we can with as little possible
loss to our men," he. added. I'VE
must win this war, whatever the
cost, or we and our children and our
children's children, are doomed"

journalism" she said, "and feel that
the opportunities are greater here
than in Brazil, although the eman-
cipation of women there is pro-
crossing steadily.
Il know your country quite we'll,
having travelled in nearly every sec
ton, but even so I am going to go
to- the AmericaniZation School,
where we citizenship recruits will
be joined in the great adventure Of
becoming citizens of Nation which
has become a haven of culture and
freedom in the world
Her mother, Nine. Martins. is a
sculptress of note. Miss Fonseca,
who also is connected with Editors

Miss Luciu Fonsecu Finds
Opportunities for Career
Greater Thun in Bruzil

Miss Lucia Fonseca, 25-year-old
stepdaughter of Carlos Martins, the
Brazilian Ambassador, is on her way
to becoming citizen of the United
States, whose people she has
learned to love and where the op-
portunities for career for a woman
are greater.
Miss Fonseca. a brunette with a
ready Latin smile, went to District
Court yesterday to file her declara-
ton to become a citizen and told
reporters it was "one of the great
est days of my life" She is a writer
in the Office of the Co-ordinator of
Inter- American Affairs. where she
prepares propaganda material that
is sent by short-wave radio to South
America.
Although she has visited in the
United States a number of times
previously, and on one occasion
made a Nation wide tour as lee
turet, Miss Fonseca came here only
in February to make her permanent
residence. Already in "love with
your people" she decided to become
a citizen after making up her mind
to make this country her permanent
residence.

FORT ST. JOHN, B. c., Dec.
28-One Monday morning last
summer an American soldier
pioneer in one of the advance
companies which punched the
new Alcan highway through the
uncharted north was sent 100
yards from his camp for water.
The next his comrades saw
him was Friday afternoon - 20
miles away in a trapper's set
Element to which he had been
led by Indians who found him
lost, wandering YEARLY through
the endless forests. :.
That's how deep is the will
derness through which u. S,
Army engineers rushed sup
Div ribbon from the Canadian
Railroads to Americas Alaskan
outposts.
Not until you've flown over
the thousands of uninhabited
miles of forests, streams and
mountains through which the
road winds and climbs can the
scope of the pioneering job be
appreciated.
END OF CIVILIZATION
Only a few miles from Daw-
son Creek, B. c., the southern
terminus of the road, the plane
leaves behind the evenly ruled
farming sections of the fertile
Peace River vail ey - last
stronghold of civilization before
Alaska.
For hours you fly over the
rugged bush country, dotted
with now snow-white lakes and
sliced with white rivers that
snake through the wilderness
north to the Arctic Sea. Mixed
with the green of the spruce and
jack-pines, the snow paints the
endless timber with a fitting
war gray. Indian trails and an
occasional trapper's hut are the
only signs of habitation.
Heading northwest to White
horse, headquarters of the Army
command which built the Alcan,
the country becomes mountain
Gus. The rivers now cut deep,
ugly scars down the mountain
sides and through the valleys
Scenic highspot is the Canadian
Rockies. Their white peaks glis-
ten as though some Paul Bunyan
had taken giant ladle and
poured on them frosting which
trickled unevenly down their
great slopes. Lighted with spec
trum colors-sunset reds in the
west blending into mountain vi
olet in the east-the peaks loom
on the distant horizon like pas
tel-painted clouds.
The more breath-taking the
scenic wonder as seen from the
air, the more sweat-taking the
terrain for the highway engi-
neers. They were handicapped

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRAL-
IA, Dec. % - R -. Allied air
force headquarters disclosed to-
day that the Japanese have
been using aerial bombs in COM

said that two such incidents had
been reported recently. Both
were unsuccessful, he declared.
The Japanese made use of
their aerial bombs for the first
time against alone flying fort
ress engaged on reconnais-
sance mission in the BUM aisi
area of the Solomons, Kenney
said.
Seven Japanese fighters at
tackled the bomber in two V-for-
nations. While three of the
fighters flew parallel with the
fortress the others climbed
about 1000 feet above and then
loosed bombs which the Amer
lean filters said burst and fell "in
a streamer effect, with small red
fires at the ends"
With the last explosion the
three fighters at the side closed
in on the fortress and opened
fire. Then they climbed while
the other four dropped down
parallel with the bomber and
the performance was repeated.
The fight lasted 40 minutes.
One Japanese fighter was re-
ported destroyed, one possibly
destroyed and one damaged.
The fortress fired a thousand
rounds of ammunition and es-
capped damage.
The Japanese used the aerial
bombs on another occasion
against Liberator BIAS along
the New Guinea coast with
equally poor results. One Zero
was shot down into the sea in
this engagement.
