WASHINGTON. Dec Is ms
New Sea-sir blows against tht
japanese were promised today by
American air and surface forces
which have been hammcrinc thc
outer defeuses leading 10 thc
enenly'S inundated islands IN 'hl
Central Pacific.
Proof that America now has
sea superiority in the Pacific came
with the news that hat'lc>mpS
supported by carrier-baScd planes
on Dec. s blasted the important
Japanese-held island Of Nauru
about 400 miles southwest Of the
Gilbert Islands.
LARGE FIRES REPORTED
Results Of the Nauru attack
were announced by the navy n
tho following statement.
"Our battlrships and carriers,
which bOmbarded Nauru Island
on Dec. started large fires
throughout the target areas and
destroyed nine planes on the
ground and one in the air.
I'VE lost two aircraft. One Of
our deStroyers received one hit
from enemy shore batteries,
suffering minor damage"
Nauru has been considered AZ
important base because Of the
phosphate deposits needed by the
japanese. and because II guards
the approaches 20 the main Mp
poneSe base at Truk
FLEETS STRENGTH GAINS
Nauru is approximately us
miles from the American base on
Guadalcanal and is the only enemy
position in the Central Pacific
which bars the SealaneS 10 Truk
from the Central Pacific.
The attack against Nauru came
shortly after the important Amer
lean carrier task force raid
against the Marshall Islands
northwest of the Gilberts.
The fact that battleShips ano
carriers could move so quickly
indicated the growing strength
of Americas Pacific fleet.

Editor Of Western News:
First. | don't believe in working

Old Woman's Clubbers' letter on
the idea of letting parents make the
first move in securing a place for
recreation for the kids. Your writ

Their pleasures come first, they are
SO busy having good time they
cant realize their children have

their parents. How can the kids be
at home and be entertained when
the parents aren't there? Then
there is another thing. When | was

my Friend FIicko"
Is Fine Picture of
Best Seller Novel

Filmed in vivid technicolor amid
the craggy mountains of Utah, the
screen version of Mary O'Hara' S
popular novel, My Friend Flicka
is a classically simple story.
With Roddy Mcdowell, Preston
Foster and Rita Johnson featured,
the Goth Century-Fox picture comes
Thursday and Friday to the Koote-
mai theatre Capturing the spirit of
todays glorious West, the deep and
tender love of its rugged men, My
Friend Flicka' is filled with swift
and tumultuous action.
The millions of readers of the
novel will be happy to learn that it
has been faithfully brought TO the
screen-that Producer Ralph Diet
rich has followed the pattern so sue
cessful in the film production OF
other novels-notably This Above
ALI and How Green Was My Val
ley
Touchingly and effectively told is
the tale of the sensitive young lad
and his love for the filly, Flicka
Roddy Mcdowell adds to his reputa-
ton in well-rounded performance
of the lad whose youthful short
comings are the bane of his strong
willed father-Preston Fosttr.
Though his mother. Rita Johnson,
understands her son, it takes the
appearance of Flicka TO bring all
three ogether-with the realization
that understanding is the basis of
a happy family relationship

mot to bring a bunch in. To the
answer Of the kids Why Be
cause they dirty and scratch things
up When Mary's. Johns and other
mothers all say the same thing. the
kids get a very unWelcome feeling
Where are they going? Because
they are going 10 dance and play;
that is part of their youthful herit-
age-so if decent. supervised place
isn't provided. they will take the
next best.
Another point is these kids need
more room now. | don't know just
how it came about or why, but
kids don't clique so much as they
used to. they want to be together
with all their friends Can you
imagine, 40 or SO boys and girls of
high school age in the average liv-
ing ROOM Could they 1--WE? Not
much. Does each home have a luke
box'--a must with jive-as radio
isn't SO hot for there are too many
commercials. So therefor, if ade-
quate school activities aren't prac-
tical or provided to keep these kids
busy and entertained, | think it is
the duty of everyone TO do his part
in providing a place for the kids.
The parents are pretty busy provid-
ing clothing, food, shelter and edu-
cation for them to also work out
this additional social problem which
has arisen. Why don't you folks
whose kids have grown up and peo-
pie who just like kids take on this
part of the job for the parents and
help provide this recreational CEN
ter for them, SO that instead of
their worth as future citizens being
torn down, they be made better
citizens through their contacts and
social affairs
A suggested idea is that it could
be carried out much like the Stage
Door Canteen,' hostesses to help
with the grub and entertainment.
Of course you wouldn't be Hedy
| Lamarrs or Edward Arnolds, but
the women and men of your COM
munity who want to help the kids.
The kids will 60 for it, too. This
is just an idea, which | think should
be a town affair.". Why not get to
work on it. | think there has been
enough paper work now, don't you?

he married some woman in the

About a year ago the govern
ment started an investigation in
regards 10 my legal rights. /
proved conclusively that we were
legally married, but they can't
prove that there was ever a di-
