(delayeO (UP)-After a 30-mile advance
our infantry rolled into Gafsa at noon today
and tonight we are only little more than
100 miles away from a juncture with the
British Eighth Army.
Our patrols report the Germans are digging in
on rocky, barren mountain around the Ell Guettar
Pass IA miles to the southeast the road to Gabes.
1t looks as though they are going to put up a
fight there, and if they driven out they probably
will fall back to another mountain position closer to
Gabes and try to prevent juncture with the Eighth
Army.

agency in Stockholm said today that the British Eighth

such dimensions that it could be called real offensive

Arobion Nights !"
In TechnicoIor,
Full of Thrills

Tapped more often than any 9th
er work of literature, The Arabian
Nights has once again been made
/ the basis of motion picture.
From the earliest era in screen
annals down to the present the
movie makers have been drawing
upon this apparently inexhaustlble
storehouse of entertainment.
Until now, the pictures made from
one or more of the magical thou
sand-and-one tales have appeared
strictly for fantasies or comedies,
with obvious disregard for anthem
ITCHY, and under various and thin
ly-disguised titles.
The Wanger version, coming
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
May IS, IA, Is TO the Kootenai
theatre, is an elaborate Technicolor
production co-starring Jon Hall,
Maria Montez and Sabu. II is first
to use the original tag, Arabian
Nights" and first to 60 all out for
realism in background and char
acterization
Wanger's production is based on
an original screen play by Michael
Hogan, who describes his story as
"a fast-action and Imaginative com
posite of tales from Arabian
Nights 1t calls for authentic
backgrounds, and use of several
choice and immortal characters
from the book.
I'VE have attempted said Pro-
Queer Walter Wanger, to bring
all the real and magical pagentry Of
Arabian Nights into full life on
the screen for the entertainment

any of the traditional appeal to

Faith in America with those who

as the Auxiliary continued prepare
tons for its annual distribution Ct

1.-The wearing of the poppy is a
personal pledge that we will not
break faith with those who died
but will carry on TO the achieve
ment of the things for which they
gave their lives" said Mrs.
Schlumm.
Millions OF Americans will wear
the poppy this year as tribute to
the dead of both World Wars and a
mark of their determination to con-
clude this war with complete vic
tory. The flower is the symbol of
life given in service for America.
The wearer makes an unspoken
pledge to the nations heroic deed
that he will live as they died, serv-
ing America.
Poppies will be offered to every
one in Libby by the women of the
Auxiliary on Poppy Day. No price
will be asked for the flowers, the
pennies of children being just as
welcome as the dollars of the veal

goal
Contributions given to the Aus.-

Best For Mothers
Not to Work When
Children Are SmoII

A great problem confronting
American women today is whether
10 stay at home with her baby OIL
TO go out and do her part in the
war work. Couldn't a competent
nurse, hired girl. or a grandmoth-
er do Just as we'll in taking care
of the baby? Shouldn't she be out
doing her part in the war effort?
If the baby is under two years
old. the mother should definitely
stay at home. says Miss Marjorie
Momyer. head of the child care
division at Stephens College. Co
4lumbia, Mo, for it would be long
search to find substitute for a
mother.
A nurse might be better trained
than the mother. but she usually
loves the child not enough or too
much because she has no children
of her own. Only the mother can
give it the love and security, the
emotional and physical stability that
it needs, Miss Momyer contends.
Many people think that the ba-
by under two years old isn't learn
ing much-that it has just a few
reflexes, but he is actually learning
a lot, Miss Momyer explains. HE
is learning to walk, talk, and cat.
A baby comes into the world with
out any bad habits, but how quick
ly he learns, and the mother should
see that he starts thinking, talking
and adjusting to people properly.
One summer | often sat in a
park in Brooklyn and observed the
nursemaids who were taking care
of some of the children of the
weather. families. Pitiful things
that the mothers would never know
of were going on. Those nurse
maids were ruling the babies
through fear, not through love,
and their conversation sometimes
was anything but what a baby
should hear.
If the mother is taken away, the
baby has to get adjusted to an en-
tirely different routine She takes
with her the baby's security, Miss
Momyer warns. Grandmother may
be a very good substitute, but she
is older and often loses patience
too quickly with the child She US
ually loves the child very much,
and often she spois him
Many now think. Now with the
great need for workers.. | can get
out and go to work. Somebody
else can take care of the baby"
That woman should never have
been mother, in the first place,
Miss Momyer says for she is dam
gerous to the child.
A baby senses from the time he
is born if he is not wanted, and
he is miserable baby. Il don't
mean she pointed out, that the
mother should not take time away
from her baby She should slip
away often, for instance while the
baby is taking its nap, for she will
come back fresher and more alive
to her baby.
After the baby has reached two
years old, the next best thing to a
mother is good nursery school
The women in these schools are
we'll trained, and they try
to give the children as much of
the love and security of the home
as is naSSihln
