indicates that the rioting all over
the country last week was just a

Playground Units Due

All the school children will be rndulgIng in the pasttime of watching "for the next boat" as soon as they read this, for on that next boat will be two new pieces of playground equipment purchased by Ray Martin while he was Outside recently and which he is personally donating to the school.
 The two surprises are a sta fionary Merry-go-round and 8 Senior Castle Tower. The Merry go-round has a platform with a long centerpiece mounted on 8 pivot that is pushed around by hand, giving the riders a merry and dizzy whirl. The Castle Tow CT is a maze of iron bars used for performing all kinds of gymnas- tics and is in wide use in schools m the States as a recreation fea- ture and body builder.
 With the playground levelled and made larger with dirt and gravel being hauled through the cooperation of the navy for the project sponsored by the Rotary club, and with the generous don ation of the two playground mas terpieces by MT. Martin, the school children will have a fine start toward recreational facil- ities that has been one of the major lacks of the local school.
 Obtaining the equipment in these times was difficult, Mir. Martin said, and he felt forum ate in being able to get these. For the future, and as condi- tions permit, he plans to add still other play units to these two.

Pacific Front

Amphibious forces under Ad- miral Wm. Halsey, thrusting to- wards Japan's last Solomons stronghold at Rabaul, achieved surprise landings on the Treasury islands & pursued the defenders into the hills. Supported by a na- val task force bombardment, landings were accomplished in ? islands in the group, 30 miles south of the Jap base at Bougain- vile. Nearby are the Shorthand islands, whose airstrips are inop- erative due to constant American bombings. Bougainville, with bomb cratered air6elds at Kahill & Kara, is also in no condition to send supporting planes to the scene of the landings. Allied air men destroyed l01 Jap planes in new devastating attacks on the enemy base at Rabaul, raising Jap plane losses to over 500 in this area in 2 weeks of raids.

nine and half hours in the dark

the cloud but when they went

terrific f1ak fire on them.
Finally they picked up the smoke
