On Corregidor fortress and Cebu
island of the Philippines = where
American heavy bombers this week
dumped ITO tons of explosives-the
war department said that steady
air bombardment and fierce fight
ing continues" without important
change in positions.
Allied airplanes under Gen. Doug
las Macarthur also kept up steady
pounding of Japanese-held invasion
bases north of Australia, attacking
Koepang on the Dutch island of
Timor early Thursday morning de-
spite intense enemy antiaircraft
fire.
But in Burma, British forces were
reported driven back to within 10
miles of the oil fields near Mimi
la, on the east bank of the Irrawad-
dy river in heavy fighting against
japanese troops which had received
about 100000 reinforcements.
This represented a japanese ad-
vance of about Is miles, but east
of the river the British were holding
in the Taungdwingyi front in an
effort to cover the flank Of Chinese
troops fighting near Myohla, about
40 miles north of Toungoo.
Six enemy columns including one
that thrust out from Thailand in
an effort to flank tn. Chinese un-
der Gen. Joseph w. Stillwell were
in action in central Burma in an
effort to win a decision before the
rainy season immobilizes the arm
ed forces in May.
GAINS OFFSET
The japanese gains in Burma
threatening the gateway to India
and the Chinese supply line-were
partly offset by powerful Allied
blows against the Axis in Europe,
where the RAF kept up a nonstop
aerial offensive with the aid OF
American Eagle and Canadian pilots
and the Red army cut deeper into
the German lines protecting Hitlers
important offensive base at Bry-
anSk.
Dispatches from the fighting
fronts included:

down the face and adds age more
than hair down at the back. Let the

her guest, Betty was banished out
on the porch.
When Jimmy, whom she re-
garded as the source OF all her
woe came to the window, she made
an ugly face. The boy must have
tattled, for Betty's mother prompt
ly said loud enough for the child
to hear, Don't pay attention to
Betty. Jimmy. She's naughty
child" Now in greater difficulties
than ever she was corresponding
~ more miserable, especially when
she thought about the cakes and
candies inside. Would there be any
left for her? Fear that she might
be done out of her share prompted
an early return.
At her approach. mother stage
whispered. Here comes Betty.
Let's be quiet when she comes IN,
and please don't talk to her, any
one. l want to teach her lesson. y
The little girl came into this un-
friendly atmosphere feeling lost
She went TO her father, who hap
pened to be sitting near the cakes
When he wouldn't speak to her
she took the law into her own
hands. Snatching up two cakes
she put out her tongue at every
one and ran back into exile again
In the first place. Betty never
should have been punished before
the company. The mother might
have asked aunt or dad to pour
for her while she took Betty into
another room to talk her into
apologizing to Jimmy, also In pri-
vate. This accomplished, her re-
turn TO the livingroom should
have marked the end OF the un-
pleasant incident.
At no time should a group OF
adults voluntarily gang up against
a child when he is being punished
cooperation from them is unkind
to the child and a presumption
because it puts the adult on the
spot. After all, it is an unneces-
sary form Of punishment and he
may not have the heart for 1t. Al
the same time he may not be able
to say no to the parent. All in all
public punishment is embarrassing
and to be avoided.
