Famed 5th Marines Turn
 Fighting Traditions On Japs
nv TAMR9 CTJTITNANE

0y &RAtA&0 OGAA1A4N&AAN0 (NEA Service Stan >Correspondentl
 washington, Nov. l9-The battle flag of the Fifth Marines-an em- blem of courage known to fighting men everywhere-is flying in the breeze of enemy bullets again-at Guadalcanal.
 And the gallant band of former men of the Fifth, now growing bald and gray, who. followed that flag through Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood, Soissons, St. Mihiel and Argonne Forest in 1918 have new lease on life.
 PHOTO GAVE TIP-OFF
 An "ofhcial mistake" disclosed the whereabouts of the Fighting Fifth when a news photograph from Guadalcanal was released, showing Marines kneeling in pray CT. The chaplain, the caption said, was attached to the Fifth Marines.
 That was all the old timers needed, Of course, theyO knew it all the time-who but the Fifth Marines could fight battles like those boys in the Solomons are fighting?, they asked.
 Tie "old boys" have reason to be proud. In France they wrote unforgettable chapters of hero ism. The Fifth and Sixth Regi- ments of Marines moved up to Chateau Thierry in May, 1913, when sledge-hammer blows of the Germans had broken French lines and Sir Douglas Haig, British commander, declared "Our back is to the wall"

Miss Josephine SSantyr, local high school student, has written several songs for a musical, Youth of America, which will be pre- sented by members of the Junior Victory Corps of the local Civilian Defense Volunteer office on Dec. 20 at Temple hall. The performance: will be for the benefit of the Army Relief fund and 8 cast of 75 corps members will participate. 50 of whom make up the chorus.
 The production is in charge of Roy Schwartz, with Morton Kramer directing. Others aiding in the pro duction include Robert Haddad. dialogue and state director. Charles Lusher, assistant; and Carol Wall who has charge of tickets and cos- tunes, wit hMuriel Lynch as IT. Sistant.
 The corps was arranged in four sectors at a recent organization meeting. each ssctor being headed by a leader and assistant. The sec tors will work independently of each other and will be responsible to the Civilian Defense office. The first major service of the sectors under the new plan will be the support of the Victory home program to be conducted by air raid wardens and block leaders. Corps members have been asked to promote the qualifications for w. homes in the high and grammar schools of the city.
 The qualifications are as follows:
 Following the instructions of air raid wardens; conservation of food, clothing. transportation and health; salvaging of essential war ma terials; refusal to spread rumors designed to divide our nation; the regular purchase of war savings stamps and bonds.
 Roy Schwartz is head of the newly formed publicity committee which is planning series of radio programs to be submitted to Wash ington headquarters.

 pr. Miller holds a position of leadership in the Baptist Com munion not only in his local church and state, but in its national, out reach. He is treasurer and general manager of two corporations in the wholesale candy business, and is director of two banks and the president or trustee of nine im- portant religious or educational ii1- stitutions. He graduated from Har- ward in 1911 and studied in the University of Turin, Italy.

 More than adequate text carries the continuity, includes biographl- cal data on important persons. Il the horror pictures upset you, just remember what Sherman said. NAZI FAILURE

 Heym's father was hostage; he provided the inspiration for this dramatic adventure in conquered Czechoslovakia. The story is od seven men and woman, pawn; of the conquerors, lives to pay fol the death of a German officer. | Here is a novel you will not for get, because its reading arouses deepest emotions of hate, fear. hor- TOT and suspense. Yet its message is one of faith-faith in the people of the world who still have courage to resist the Nazi horde.
