so can serve my church and have
a little fun?
Ans: A part time job is the sOlu-
ton to your problem. The course of
study you are taking should not
be neglected under any circum-
stances. The schedule you are on
right now is too combining you
need some relaxation between work
and school. Master this business
course thoroughly for it will lead to
economical and financial indepen-
denee.
NJ. S.: Pm 10 and have been going
with this boy 21s years. He had to
go away for two years and while he
was gone l lived true to him in
every way. We wrote regularly
and he asked me to marry him. l
told him would but we had a fuss
the other night. l found out that
while he was away he was writing
to other girls and had their pictures
too. This made me angry because l
didn't hardly look at another boy
while he was gone. Tell me if I
should marry him or not.
Ans: No, you are too young to
get married and you don't trust him
either. It is easy to write ardent
love letters and imagine yourself
to be desperately in love, but when
you face the facts you have to
admit that you did not build these
dreams on reality. Be glad that you
realized your mistake in time.
E. NJ. j.: l am miserable and
therefore l am sending you my
problem. My husband makes good
money but he says he has to take
it all to pay debts, and he never
has any left to buy me and the
children anything. Should l take
them and go back to my mother?
Ans: Running away from trouble
doesn't help the situation any. Stay
right there in your own home and
come to some definite understand
ing about money matters. This can't
be done by pickering and quarrel
ing. Appeal to his sense of fair
play and come to some business
agreement as to the amount of
money to be spent in the home each
week. If you prove yourself good
manager he will be more lenient
with his money. Your husband is
the bread-winner. 1t is your duty to
devote more time to making him
comfortable and cOntented in the
home.

Hello Folks:
Hello Folks:
Believe it or not, a lot Of US have
been doing our Xmas shopping this
week No, We weren't selecting
gifts for our friends and relatives
in the U. s., but many of US were
getting presents for some of the
boys who are seeing active duty
with the U. S. Army across seas.
You know Friday of this week is
the deadline, or else the gift won't
get there in time for Xmas. So
folks, you won't forget the over
seas boys win you?
Letter of the Week:
Just received an interesting let
ter from SGT. HAROLD CARTER,
former Mpls. boy, who is stationed
at Camp Pinedale. l thought my
readers would enjoy reading what
Harold has to say. It's as follows:
Dear Sal.
know it isn't in the books that
I should be writing you, but l feel
in a very good mood as l have
felt since my marriage recently
to Avis Ware.
Knowing, too, you receive quite
a large number of letters from
boys in the service of Uncle Sam
I feel quite at ease writing you.
l receive the Spokesman and
Recorder regularly and read
your column which l think is
very interesting. There must be
nearly a dozen boys from the
Twin Cities in my outfit and we
all enjoy reading your column
and the paper from home.
1t certainly was wonderful to
come home and get married and
to see so many friends. l had so
little time and / was fortunate
at that as my outfit is scheduled
to move across and we're still
waiting to go.
Avis and l had a wonderful
trip or should l say honeymoon
to Los Angeles. We both ap-
preciate the many kindnesses
and gifts from our many friends.
In closing l wish you success
and maybe I'll have a chance of
dropping you a few lines from
across as many of our boys are
doing.

HALLE .SELASSIE'S HOME TO BE CHILD REFUGE

BATH, England -tAP)-The home which sheltered Emperor Halle Selassie during his exile from Ethiopia will become ref uge for babies who were bombed out by Nazi aerial attacks.
 Selassie moved into the $l2,000 residence in 1886 and lived in it most of the time until 1940, when he returned to his native land in the wake of British armies and completed the restoration of his empire.
 The place will be converted to philanthropical purposes as soon as the last members of the royal family leave England. The Elm peror's daughter, the widowed Princess Tenage Work, plans to go home shortly, as will Halle Se- lassie's third son, Sahle. who has been studying at Bristol Uni versity.

PETTY OFFICER WINS RIGHT TO EAR MONOCLE

LONDON -(AP)-- Because a Royal Navy non-connmissionad officer insisted on wearing his monocle aboard ship the Admir- alty had to write a new section to the navy's general fleet orders.
 The sailor who boldly declared that he had worn mOnocle for four years before the war and did not intend to relinquish it is Chief Petty Officer Phillip Morter.
 His commanding officer found nothing in, the books covering the situation and finally sought an official ruling. The admiralty held that a rating may choose between spectacles and a mono cle so long as it does not inter fere with his efficient discharge of duties.

Vandegrift Tells Vivid Tale of War

SAN FRANCISCO - Team work-nationally and information ally-among Allied forces is win ming the South Pacific war against the Japanese, who are still not pushover by any means" Lieutenant General Alex ander A. Vandegrift, U. s. M. C., emphasized here this week to the American home front.
 General Vandegrift, who com manded landings of marines on Bougainville Island, brought back to the United States the first factual. eyewitness message of the battle for Japan's biggest is land of the Soromons group.
 Tt is teamwork that is win ming in the South Pacific :. teamwork among the Army, Navy and Marines and teamwork among air, surface and ground forces.
 On the first of November, our marines landed on Empress Aug usta Bay, Bougainville, support ed by navy surface vessels and air units. The landing against light opposition from the shore was rapidly overcome. Our units pushed into the jungies and es- +tab1fshed themselves beach, haed.
 'As the days went by, the ground we held was widened and deepened. It. was then that the Army moved in behind our forces together with naval troops.
 The "Bougainville landing was harder than the original fight on Guadalcanal although not as hard as those of Tulagi and Ga vutu. Our casualties were very light on Bougainville and ex- tremely light on Choiseul in com parison to the large amount of damage inflicted there.
The Nome nugget., 1943-12-24

The 3ougaiuviIIe show was sta gad by the ist Marine Arlphi- hious Corps From the latest re- ports I have had since I left the scene army and navy troops have landed on BougainvilIe and are now busily engaged in getting themselves firmly established there" he said.
 Lieutenant General Vandegrift paid high tribute to New Zeal anders U. s. Army troops and Marine Corps paratroopers, who landed on Treasury and Choiseul Islands, southeast of Bougain- vile, before the invasion of that island began.
 The New Zealanders, support ed by our air and surface forces made a splendid landing on Treasury Isle.
 "A day later a battalion of our marine parachute troops, com nIanded by Lieutenant Colonel Victor Krulak. landed on Chois- eul Island. This operation was a feint; a diversion to attract the enemy's attention toward Choi- seul while the main thrust struck at Bougainville. The paratroopers put on a very daring raid and accomplished much good before being withdrawn shortly.
 AS a matter of fact the Jap controlled radio reported a force of 10000 Americans there.
 Colonel Krulak known as Brute out there because of his being only little over five-feet in height, did an outstanding job and was awarded the Navy Cross by Admiral Halsey the day after the raid was over"
 Asked by newSmen if the fighting spirit of the marines was higher" when the invasion of Bougainville began than it was at the time of the Battle of Guadalcanal, he replied:
 q thought We had very good spirit on Guadalcanal. know it's at least that good now"

Communications

December l3, l943. MT. Wilfred Boucher,
 The Nome Nugget,
 Nome. Alaska.
 Dear MT. Boucher: In recent months there has been much written and said about Nome. Being comparative new conner I should like to relate my impressions.
 Nome is city with a past, a present, and with the further ex- pansion of the airways and post war industry, a definite future. As in the past when sNome was born with the advent of the Gold Rush and grew to buStling city of some 30,O00 inhabitants, so again it may grow to be an inn portant world terminal for the rapidly expanding airways of the world.
 Arriving two months ago, I was told that there were certain conveniences that necessarily can not be enjoyed here, but that it would be the people themselves who would sell the country to a newcomer. I have found this to be true. The people of Nome are probably the most sincere hon. est and unpretentious persons to be found anywhere in the world. True, there are certain conven- 1 fences which a new conner misses. In compensation, though, there is the feeling of congeniality and goodwill which only Nome has as its own.
 Yes, Nome is singular in its at tributes. Those who originally settled here must surely have taken some of the first gold and imbedded it in their hearts and have since passed it on. When it comes time for me to leave, I hope that 1 will have been able to acquire some for myself and be able to take and have it al ways.
 Very truly yours,
 HARRY A. ABEL, Jr.

General said:
 'sYou still have a good war to fight out there and it is not a pushover by any means. How ever, experienced gained by our men on Guadalcanal is proving of great value presently.
 On Guadalcanal we were in- experienced at meeting the Japs. Today we are not"
 General Vandegrift was expect ed to leave for Washington, D. C.. immediately with his aides and Mrs Vandegrift, who came west to meet her husband.
 The veteran marine officer a native of Charlottesville, Va, 56 years of age, has been in the corps since January P, 1909, when he was commissioned a second lieutenant.
 His service record is varied. He has served aboard ships, in Haiti. Mexico, China and at stations in the United States.
 He was awarded the Congress sional Medal of Honor last Feb ruary for his conquest of Quad alcanal, and his other medals in clude the Navy Cross; the Unit Citation Ribbon bar with star; the Nicaraguan Campaign medal; the Mexican Service medal; two Haitian Campaign medals; the Haitian Distinguished Service medal; the Yangtze Service medal, and the American De fense medal.
 General Vandegrift turned over command of the First Amphi- bious Corps, U. s. Marines, and e
 Supporting Army and Navy units on Bougainville. to Major Gen. eral Roy s Geiger U. s. M C., on November g. General Gei- ger commanded all American air units in the Guadalcanal campaign on General Vande- grift's staff.

large part of this bumper crop. Al
though the War Food adninistra-
ton, during the past summer, set
aside Is million dollars for the erec-
ton of additional storage for Irish
potatoes and sweet potatoes, the
1943 crop will exceed by more than
SO million bushels, available ap-
proved farm and commercial Stor-
age.
Every consumer who has space
in his cellar or other suitable place
is urged to buy and store as many
potatoes as he conveniently can, SO
that none of this supply Of food
will 60 to waste. Other vegetables,
like onions and turnips that keep
well, should also be put away in
storage places. Apples and any
other fruits that can be kept over
the winter should also be stored.
Share Fairly.
ALI Americans share the food with
the men in uniform in, camps at
home and on foreign battlefields,
with the peoples of the other United
Nations helping to win the war, and
with the countries liberated from
Axis oppression. Farmers help each
other to grow as much as they can
by sharing seed, machinery, ferti-
lizer and manpower in order to
make short supplies go farther.
Cheerful, willing acceptance Of ra-
tioning rules results in fair shares
for all, and plenty of food for fit
ness and health.
Food is critical war material. The
government asks each citizen to
pledge himself to accept no rationed
foods without giving UP ration
stamps, and to pay no more than
top legal prices. When rationing
rules and price ceilings are not OBJ
served, un-American "black mar
kets" appear. Do without, If what
you want can't be purchased fairly.
Record food production has been
achieved for the past seven years,
yet America still doesn't have
enough to answer all the demands
Of war and also to fulfill the un-
usual wants Of civilians with ire
mendously increased purchasing
power. For the duration Of the
war and for several years after it
ends, the farmers problem is not
going to be whether he can find a
market for what he produces, but
whether he can produce as much as
he can sell. Ever-increasing de-
mands will continue to exceed the
supply.
