ABOARD AN AMPHIBIOUS At

Aug. 8-ELT)-tVia Navy Radio
-UP) u. S. Soldiers and marines
Tuesday pressed relentlesSly on
ward to the northern shores of
Guam after japanese defenders of
the town of Yigo fled in wild pan
demonium before determined
thrust of the 77th Army Division.
An undetermined number of en-
emy troops, cut off from supplies
and reinforcements, were trapped
in an area less than one-tenth OF
the island.
A communique by Admiral Ches-
ter W. Nimitz said marines and
army troops, concentrated in the
center of the line, captured the
village of Yigo Sunday and over
ran cne-third of the remaining en-
emy-held territory in the heavily
wooded plateau section of northern
Guam.
The three-mile advance, which
eliminated several enemy strong
points, formed an arc in the Amer
ican line with anchorages at Haputo
point on the west and Lumuna
point on the east.
In seizing the new area Sunday
the American troops discovered a
large cemetery where the japanese
had buried their dead in mass
graves.
Nimitz announced that navy and
army Liberators continued their
strikes into the Carolines and near
by enemy bases Friday and Satur-
dav. without loss. Param Island In

Uncle Rays Corner

Our story yesterday about COCO
nut palms left more to tell. We
spoke of the food value of coconuts
but other things of value come
from this tree.
The husk of a coconut grows
around the nut. Usually it is from
10 to 18 inches long. Fibers from
the husks are used in making rope
also for mats. Very likely you have
wiped the mud from your feet
more than once on coconut-husk
doormat.
The wood of a coconut tree may
go into a small house or into fur
niture. After being sent to Europe
for sale this lumber came to be
called "porcupine wood" 3.
A sweet juice can be pressed from
the young f1ower-covers of coconui
palms. The juice is used as drink
in the tropics, and also can be boiled
down into sugar.
After the milk and meat" are
taken from coconuts, the shells can
be used to hold water or other
liquids. Vast numbers of shells, cut
neatly into parts, have been used
by natives as cups and bowls.
Less useful than coconut palms
but also interesting, are sago palms
These grow in warm parts of the
world, and there are several kinds
Sago palms in western Africa
yield sweet sap which the natives
like to drink. They gather the sar
in gourds after cutting through the
wood.
In the East Indies grow sage
palms which, in time of peace, art
important in world commerce. They
produce a starchy product knowr
as sago.
Growing In forests in the Eas
Indies, also in the Philippines
these trees come to flower only once
and that is at the age of about l;
years. At that time, each tree ha
a great store of starch in it's stem
or trunk.
Six or seven hundred pounds O.
starchy pith may be taken from {
single sago palm. The tree Is GU
at Towering time, and the pith i.
grated and pounded into powder.
The powder is mixed In water tt
form paste. Then the paste il
pressed through a strainer, and the
woody parts are taken out. Natives
use sago In making soup, also for q
kind of bread or cake.

The king of clubs won the first
