Group Hears
 Mrs. WoodLock

Mrs. Marjorie Woodlock, executive secretary of recreation of the state war council, spoke last night at the final meeting of the volunteer lead ership training course at the Gen. tral Y. M. c. A.
 Mrs Woodlock, speaking on Group Work Is Fun, said that children should be challenged to do better work, but never discour- aged. Particular encouragement should be given those who do not have native ability for a special task, the speaker declared.
 Stating that group recreation is not a cure-all for juvenile deIn- quency, Mrs. Woodlock asserted it is a goodway to interest young people and thus keep them out of difficult ties.
 Following her talk, the speaker demonstrated several games to be played in social recreation groups.

No Rest for "a Hours During Invasion

American carrier planes ranged Lu-

and giving the enemy no rest.
Revised figures show enemy losses
for the 24-hour period as 81 planes
shot out of the air and 139 destroyed
on the ground or on the water and
80 damaged on the ground.
During the same period a medium
sized freighter was hit and exploded
and medium Oil tanker was sunk
off the west coast of Luzon.
A small troop convoy in the same
area was surprised and attacked
with bomb rockets and strafed, and
one large transport laden with troops
was left damaged and smoking from
rockets.
Smaller transports, also troop
filled, and two escort warships in the
convoy also were damaged.
1t was the biggest day in many
weeks for Admiral McCain's flyers,
who operated almost exclusively
with Navy Hellcat fighters equipped
with bombs and rockets. They
achieved apparently full surprise in
opening the attack, finding in one
instance at South Aparri Airport
cattle wandering over the runway.
The greatest bag of the day came
late in the afternoon when one fight
of 27 enemy planes, apparently from
Formosa, tried to land in Northern
Luzon. American fighters shot down
18 of this group and also bagged
one of flight of eight other planes.
On the water they destroyed seven
