Mrs. s. B. Milton entertained
guests Sunday. July IS. at a pre-
natal shower given in honor OF Mrs.
Corbin Nash, tnee Alice Kennedy
who has been secretary to her hus-
band DR.. S. B. Milton, for the past
six years.
The shower was a complete sur
prise to Mrs. Nash, who was lured
TO the scene by her sister, Mrs. C.
Piazzo.
The shower took place In the
beautiful recreation room OF the
hostess in River Rouge and the
tables were decorated with dainty
blue pind crepe paper with tiny
baby shoes and bonnets as place
cards. The gift table bore a huge
pink and blue crepe paper covered
umbrella. The menu consisted OF
chicken salad, deviled eggs, pickles,
orange punch, cake and ice cream.

We played two very interesting
games OF croquet Damon be-
ing the winner both times :.
Eloise took second place and the
rest OF us were just there because
we didn't win one game.
Later under the shade OF q huge
tree Sara's charming mother and
aunt served US very delicious
luncheon. We forgot there was ra-
tioning while eating the very tasty
sandwiches, cucumbers, carrots,
pickles, etc. But taking extra
honors was the devils food cake
with rich chocolate frosting and the
lemonade 1--WE had tasted lemonade
before but not az refreshing as It's
was). The prize for eating the most
goes TO Eloise, at least that's what
Damon and Eloise agree upon and
who are We 10 argue.
Our pleasant evening was brought
to close with a long walk. Many
thanks to Ssras parents and Aunt
Mary for inviting us. Words aren't
within our reach to express our
true appreciation but at any rate
thanks again. Oh. yes, thanks. for
giving Eloise and I the lovely bou-
quets OF flowers.

understand it either, and were start
ing to speculate and gossip.
"But the General explained every
thing when he returned from the
ride, by officially presenting Bulke-
ley with the order decorating him
with the DISC. We'd known about
it for weeks, but this, it seemed, was
the official presentation. He also con-
graduated the men on the fine work
they had done, and handed each
package of cigarettes. 1t wasn't un-
til that night that Buckley told me
all this had been camoufage. For
that morning the General had called
him in and told him of the new plan.
China was out for us, all right. Be-
cause Washington had made Mac
Arthur Commander in Chief for all
the Pacific and ordered him to
leave. submarine had been sug-
gested, but Macarthur had said
Buckley was the only commanding
officer he knew in whom he had COM
plete conference.-the was sailing
with Buck. But he'd wanted to make
a trial run first, and so added the
little ceremony to allay the suspi-
cions of the men. Because we were
leaving Bataan in absolute secrecy
and very soon.
"Of course to us this means that
the China trip-our last hope of see
ing America and escaping death or
a Japanese prison-was gone for
ever. Now the MTB's were like the
rest here in the islands-the expend-
ables who fight on without hope to
the end. So far as we knew, we
would now finish up the war in the
southern islands, when the Japs got
around to hopping up the last Amer
lean resistance there.
"The minute we knew we were to
leave Bataan soon," continued Lieu
tenant Kelly after a pause, 1--WE got

We're Girls Ever?

Some men still try to say that
women can't do a job as well as
men. The girls have proved them
selves.
Even small boys recognize the
fact. The other day one of them
told his father that he'd lost his
place at the top of the class. The
new top was a girl.
Surely" said his father, "you
aren't going to be beaten by a
mere girl?"
"That's all very well, dad" was
the reply, ''but girls aren't near
ly so mere as they used to be-"

to work on the four boats. We knew
the trip would be tough, and the
boats we're old now. The engines
had had double the number of hours
service without their customary
thorough overhaul and returning, so
they were making half their original
speed.
1--WE planned to scrape the bot
toms and overhaul their struts, but
this was done for only three. My
boats turn was last, and meanwhile
it was used for patrol.
"Overhauling these motors with
out any replacement parts was
terrible job. For instance. Any tank
town garage which overhauls fliv-
yer back in the States always re-
places the gaskets with new ones.
Only we didn't have any. Or any
sealing compound. So those old gas
kets had to be carefully removed,
handled as gently as though they
were precious lace, and laid back
in place when the motors were re-
assembled.
"How much gas could we carry?
We eXperimented-put down planks
on those 2s-inch plywood decks to
strengthen them, and finally decided
we could take chance on piling
twenty of those fifty-gallon drums on
each boat
Naturally the crews got curious
about all these preparations. Since
we knew so much about what the
Japanese were doing across the
bay, we assumed their means for
finding out about us were equally
good. Anyway, Buckley and l had
decided that there is only one way of
keeping a valuable secret during a
war: don't tell it yourself.
But we had to tell the men some
thing. So we said maybe, after we
had exhausted all our gas here on
Bataan, we would head down for
Cebu in the southern islands. Cebu,
where there was plenty of food and
more torpedoes, and where they had
the most beautiful and languorous
girls on the islands, and plenty of
gasoline.
eve painted it as a golden spot.
Only Bulkeley and knew that when
we got to Cebu we would be doomed

When buying oranges select
those that are firm, heavy and not
spongy or soft. Usually slight
scars or russell spots on the skins
will not affect the flavor or the

If liquid in which olives are bot

Knitted washcloths are not al
