Good Evening.
NO. NO. Nol

It's not Indian Summer, folks, Don't crack those annual jokes, When September turns somewhat warm, And the bees start to swarm. It isn't Indian Summer, Nothing could be dumber. The frosts have hardly come, It's just late Summer sun Shining hotter more and more, Just a bit of an encore. It isn't even Autumn, folks, Though they're showing felt pokes And plumed hats for the ladies, Betty's has a higher top than Sadies' Good old Summer is lasting late, But hold your horse, just wait, It won't be long now Before it's cold, and how! It isn't Indian Summer, folks, Lay of those annual jokes, Don't pull anything like that Before the Dodgers go to bat.

After remaining quiet-as far a!
the public knows-for long time
the Australian front suddenly has be.
come alive with war, once more; no
the continent itself, but that large
island close to it, New Guinea. Here
it seems, the japanese have landed
troops at Buna in an effort to reach
Port Moresby by a march overland
march through mountainous will
derness and jungles for a hundred
miles or more.
1t is doubtful, however, that
they will ever have a chance to
begin that march, for American
and Australian bombers were on
the job and made it pretty bad
for the boys at Buna; they may
have abandoned their ambitious
plan by the time these lines are
being read.
Port Moresby would, of course
hold special attractions for them, fol
that particular place would serve as
a nice and convenient springboar6
for a direct attack on the Australian
mainland. Macarthur is still there
SO Tokyo cannot be very certain that
the Nipponese forces will ever be able
to cross that Coral Sea which holds
such bitter memories for them ever
since the United States navy de-
feated japanese fleet so effectively
that Australia itself has been left in
peace ever since.
Asiatic Front.
Far to the north of Australia, fierce
fighting still goes on in China where
the Japenese have been defeated al
various points in Chekiang and
ShanSi.
While the Chinese happily reg
lister these victories, they realize
that they are, in relation to the
general situation, Of compare
lively small importance, for the
outlook, as whole, is not any
too bright.
