For THANKSGIVING Morning

Leighton, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
f. L. Leighton of Sidney, Australia,
will become the bride of Robert
Eyer, son of Mr.. and Mrs j. P.
Eyer of Ell Centro.
The future bride sailed a month
and half ago from Sidney to come
to this country to be married and
very nearly lost her life in a dis
astrous fire at sea. She arrived
safely in this country. with only
her wedding trouSSeau intact, her
other clothes, all brand new, haV-
ing been lost in the fire. OF all
that she had in her cabin, only
her purse was saved. Luckily that
survived as it had not only money,
but her passports without which
she might have had difficulty en-
tering the country.
This pretty blonde young bride
who has core from such a distance,
also knows ikC meaning of war
since she lost two brothers over
seas, both fliers and has another
in the service now.
Her fiance also knows the mean
ing of war, for he saw active duty
in the South Pacific, was wounded
in action and received his medical
discharge from the United States
navy. Bob is graduate of Central
and was at Vultee some time before
he enlisted in the navy.
The romance is a true war ro-
nance last Christmas Mr. and
Mrs. Leighton with cordial Aus
tralian hospitality, invited Bob to
be their guest that day little dream
ing that the unknown sailor who
was to dine with them was TO
become their future Son-in-law.
With the eventual safe arrival
Saturday of the bride, wedding
plans have been completed. Loretta
Eyer, sister of the bridegroom, be-
ing Miss LeightonS attendant; Car
olyn, another sister, the flower girl,
and David McBeth, best man.
After their marriage the young
couple will make their home in Ell
Centro, the bride now being the
house guest of Mr.. and Mrs. j. P.

NO ISLAND-T04SL.AND- ATTACK

- Gen. Douglas Macarthur, in a clear
headed appraisal of the warfare in the Far
East renounces the "dilatory and sland-to-
island advance that some have assumed to
be necessary in the Far East.
The general speaks with the value of
Ibis experiences in New Guinea, where air
power demonstrated its strength in trans
porting men, material and in blasting en-
envy positions. He now suggests "the appli-
@cation Of offensive power in swift massive
strokes through the use of aircraft, Sin eff
fective combination with ground forces"
In short, the General would follow the
example of the Japanese. He points out that
when air and ground forces are welded to-
-,gether in sufficient strength and with
proper naval support" the indissoluble
union points the way to victory"
= Many Americans, even now, fail to ap-
preeiate the enormous use that the Japan
"ese made of shipping, including cargo yes.
Sels and warships, in expanding the con-
quests of the empire. 1t is a safe bet that
shigh officers of the American Navy under
stand what occurred and that they plan
no iSland-to-island attack upon Japan.

OUR WAR LEADERS ARE FRIENDS

The people of the United States and
Great Britain have much to appreciate in
their elected leaders but, now that they face
worldwide wars, 'there is additional reason
for qualification at the evident friendship be-
tween the two mer which enables them to
deal with great questions in complete con-
fidence.
When Prime Minister Churchill visit
ed Washington in December, 1941, just af-
ter the attack upon Pearl Harbor, there
were many evidences of mutual esteem that
ties the two statesmen. together. Mr.. Chur-
chill participated in the Christmas Day
celebration in Washington and addressed
Congress.
At Casablanca, the Prime Minister re-
ferred to himself as the Presidents ardent
lieutenant and declared that they worked
together as partners and friends. He de-
scribed their cooperation as one of the
sinews of war of the Allied powers, which
undoubtedly it is.
Mr. Churchill insisted that design, pur-
pose and an unconquerable will lie behind
all that is being done by Britain and Amer
lea to enforce the unconditional surrender
of the criminals who plunged the world in
to war. q (

BEST HUMOR OF THE WAR

- If there be humor in connection with
"a war in which millions of men die, it comes
from Bern, Switzerland, where a newSpa-
-perman reports that Marshal Ion Antonescu,
: dictator of Rumania, has most solemny
renowned any territorial claims against
Russia"
The Rumanian probably has reasons to
~believe that he backed the wrong horse
when he picked the Axis to win and is anx-
.ious to stress the defensive nature of his

"a basis with Finland,

The latest evaporation of newcomers

woman, concerns what she classes as
World War III -
Now, some people think Ghere always
will be wars because of the sleeping saw
age in every man. Granting that belief to
be sound, that is not sufficient reason for
the trend of the remarks made by that new
representative in aligning us against two of
cur Allies when peace comes.
She asserted that, after the war, the
United States must maintain the supremacy
of the air, deeply as we trust our British
Allies of today and tomorrow, and as we
may, | hope trust our Russian Allies TO-
morrow and today
There is nothing Objectionable to that
statement, other than it is untimely, but
she went too far when she declared chat
wrong United States air policy now would
lay the groundwork for Americas certain
defeat in World War No. 81
If we are going to have a World War
III, certainly the time to discuss it is not
now when we are engaged in 1ife-ard-
enemies in World War II.
Yes, let us maintain supremacy of the
air now and after the war - we have the
mechanical genius, hundreds of manufac-
turing plants and vast quantities of raw
material to keep that supremacy -, but our
business now, our sole business now, is to win
this war and win as quickly as we can to
save the lives of thousands of our young
men.
Discussion of what Supremacy we
may hold after the war and wasting time
and effort in talking about the kind of peace
we are going to establish are premature.
TO wage an about war we must maintain
an all-out effort with the sole object of
winning kept in view always. Digressions
from that main purpose weaken our eff
forts, and weakened efforts mean a longer
war.
The way to accomplish thing, what
ever it may be, is to concentrate on it's &C.
complishment Taking time off to tell what
you are going to do with the thing after it
is completed, delays its completion.
The hundred and one side issues that
will come up after the war is over can be
attended to then: our efforts now should
be kept in one groove, and in that groove
should be developed all our might to crush
our enemies.
Let us sidetrack all side issues
