the island of Timor was reached

the custom of dyeing their hair BY

their hair red and others made it

The natives had round faces and
broad bottle noses" Many were
adorned with large nose rings. The
women wore short skirts made of

The weapons used on the island
were spears, swords, sings and bows

the harbor in boats which they had
made from tree trunks. One of the
boats held 40 persons.
Leaving the harbor, Dampier and
his men sailed to Java. and spent
several days there. Then they
started the return trip. Rounding
the Cape of Good Hope, they sailed
northward in the Atlantic until they
reached Ascension Island. Hardly
had they cast an anchor before they
found that the vessel was leaking

After efforts to stop the leak
proved vain, Dampier ordered his
pilot to ground the vessel. Still being

The 'Fraidy Cats
Pr Contrihu ion.
BY MYRA RUTH MI\ONITZ, Is.

Paul Junior lgh School
The Axis are the mighty. the
strongest and most bold:
They are the Master Race of men.
I've heard the story told.
Like peacocks vain. they strut about
and look down on all mankind.
And view the world they seek to hold
and transform into their kind
The Axis leaders seemed to think
the Allies were afraid.
Afraid TO face their guns and tanks
and warriors so displayed.
To them. We seemed too soft and
scared to take our place at bat
We were so very worried and they
called us "Fraidy Cats"
Yes, Fraidy Cats they called us, and
many other things;
They never stopped to think that
fate might change the future
strings.
They hooted and they laughed at us,
and thought the coast was
clear
From such a scared, soft land as
ours. what could they have
to fear?
Then. finally. at the climax their
conceit had reached its height,
Came the black December 7th.
bringing Japs with all their
might.
That day when We were challenged
by ruthless, daring foe.
We stepped right in to meet him,
and we really did let 60.
At first, the Japs won victories
while we prepared to fight,
But when we did get on our feet
We sprang with all our might
The Axis started in surprise-what
state of fairs was this?
The Fraidv Cats were gaining
ground, and never did they
miss.
sThe Axis tried a stiff defense and
fought with all their might,
But we pushed on through startled
lines, we'd "just begun to
fight"
So now they see the Fraidy Cats
the poor, scared, timid things
Who now are winning victories, in
f1icting wounds and stings.
And SO to Axis friends and such
before this war is won,
Well show who are the Fraidy Cats,
and sink the rising sun!
