Notes Of Benton
County Men in
the Armed Forces

Like all other counties in the ma
ton. ours now has most OF its young
men in the service. Many OF them
are away from home for the first
time in their lives and the one
thing they miss most is word from
home. To help as much as we can
this paper is being sent to all the
local bows in the service each week.
This, however, is not enough. Every
one who knows amy of our boys
should write to them occasionally. =,
We are again printing the list
nf names of the local boys with their
latest addresses in the hopes tnat
it will encourage letter writing, not
only Iby the folks at home, but be-
tween the boys in the several
branches of the service.
OF interest to many of the boys
will be the following letter from Les
Kippes, who says:
cleft Kennewick Feb. 81, and aft
er three days at FIT. Lewis, started
south for Camp Callam, California.
Here I was to learn to my great JOY
and displeasure that ever lasting

sounds like hog snoring. e. :

duck or get hit on the head by your
partners gun. After about -four
weeks of this you get pretty good al
ducking. Then, when you're stand

it's bound to annoy you. So I look
out of the corner of my eye. and SEE

Japs Press Manila;
Churchill Says Axis
Powers Are Doomed
Russians Continue Successful
In Crimea. British Victor
iOuS In Africa.

This week as Winston Churchill
bristling with confidence, told the
Canadian Parliament, fresh from
his conference with Roosevelt
that the Axis powers are dootocd,
war continued throughout the
world with much havoc.
The struggle took on a more
serious note this week as the Jap
anese pressed harder on Manila
after subjecting it to bombing
attacks, destroying property and
lives. In the Far East, having cap
tured Hongkong, the Japs are
now also concentrating their eff
forts on Singapore with heavy all
attacks, but with little damage
according to the British.
The one event of the week
which probably did most tc
arouse the anger of the American
people was the bombing of de-
fenseless Manila, Saturday after
it had been asked to be regarded
as an open city.
While Manila lay burning fresh
from the ravages of bombs, Presi
dent Roosevelt sent the people o.
the Philippines a radio message
of hope pledging them their free
dom and telling them that the
United States would not forge
this dastardly action of the in
vading Japs.
The southern Russian armie:
and the Black Sea fleet, continu
ing victorious, have recapturee
the southeastern end of the Grim
can peninsula, thus recovering eff
