Inc two tanks were destroyed
bv the guns of 1t. Bonwitz's
tank, fired by his gunner, Cpl.
Everett B. Perrien of Watson,
Ark.
The tanks next attacked two
groups of German soldiers,
some of which we're massing
TO- a counter ATTACK against the
infantry.
When German tanks came in
from all directions, Bonawitz re-
ceived orders to withdraw. The
light tanks retreated, turning
their currents rearward and fir
ing at the pursuing German ar
NOR. Artillery fire was also
aimed at the fleeing tanks. 1T
was worse than anything I had

 A great deal of credit should go Miss Brenn believes, to those who have given extra effort to the work Ing out of these plans, and to the teachers, many of whom have only returned to their profession for the war emergency and are already carrying double loads"
 The act makes funds available to any Connecticut locality initiating the plan of education for physically handicapped children, to cover the additional cost of teaching over and above the regular allotment made by each school district for non-handi. capped children.
 Parents of physically handicapped children, seeking further inforIna- ton about the educational needs of such children, may get in touch with local school ofiicials or directly with Miss Rrenn at the State Of1ce Building, Hartford.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-19

New programs of education foi physically handicapped children have been started, with the coopera. ton of the Connecticut State Board of Education and local school dis triets, in many areas of the state this fall.
 Funds for the program are pro. Vided in an net passed last year by the state legislature, sponsored by the Connecticut Society for Crip- pied Children. This act makes the towns legally responsible for pro- viding education for these children
 Bridgeport is expanding its pros gram, and the school system is fur- nishing c full-time teacher at the Bridgeport Crippled Children's WorkShop. New Haven reports it will expand It's home teaching serv. ire this year,
 The Stamford Cardiac association Is expanding It's services by making iGs camp c year-round project, with arrangements for teaching heine worked out with the public school system of Stamford. This will care for between i2 and 20 children otherwise unable to attend school, Oceupational and physical therapy, and speech work will be provided as needed, as well aS the supervision of q card!ologist,
 Among other areas beginning home teaching programs this fall are Naugatuek. Manchester, Dan- bury and Wethersfield. In Willi- mantle, the schools have provided transportation for crippled child who will have the opportunity to attend regular classes for the first time. If this arrangement does not prove satisfactory, the system will provide for home teaching in. stead,
 Tn every case where feasible, the board of education believes helping the child to adjust to the socialiSed situation of e school room is much more desirable, says Miss Mabel A, Hrenn, appointed this year as su- pervisor of the education of phy- sieally handicap cd children, by the state board,
 Several other cities are now Inak- ing surveys of their handicapped children to see whether or not they are receiving the right kind and as much educational help as possi- blc in their present physical condi. ton.
 In her survey of the state, since taking her position July 1, Miss Brenn has found school off1cials ready to help and to inquire into individual cases. We are getting daily requests from school super- visors for help in surveying their local situations" she reports. "In those places where the program is not in operation, we have usually found that 1t was because the op- portunities provided for in the act were not adequately understood.
