Ans: Your husband realizes
and it is time for you to
start realizing 49,. that your
place is at home and not in
school. He kept his end of the
bargain. He didn't object to
your going to school as long as
he was in Service. Now that he
is out he expects you to make
a home for him and the baby.
This baby is your responsible
ty. and you are certainly not
assuming il by leaving it with
your mother. Although it is
nice to have an education, your
first and foremost duty is to-
ward your family. You can get
text books and study st home.

 A few days later Laroque receiV- cd c German Lug0r from Patton, plus Ave cases of cognae for the squadron.
 "I didn't have the nerve to ask General Patton to autograph Ricky's shoes although 1 had taken them along for that purpose" La. roque said.
 Laroque said that only once has he had an "ahortion'-air talk for having to cancel c mission ~ aild that was when no got hurrysup cali to blast c German motorized column and forgot Ricky's shoes.

 Observers here believed the power- ful strikes this week which not only blasted the eneiny's seq and air forces but heaped destruction on ground bases and port facilities, coa- Biderably weakened Japafis ability to defend the Philippines.
 These blows also increased the dif- flculty of Japan's supplying and reinforcing its large Philippine gar. rison, estimated at ib0,000 or more troops.
 The effect of the assaults, the deepest thrust yet toward the China coast by surface units of Admiral Chester w. NSlnitE's tremendous Pacific fleet, was seen in the frank admission by the Japanese that the offensive was aimed at the Philip. pines.
 one of Japans higest officials, Admiral Sankichi Takahashi, in Q Tokyo broadcast, fiatly stated that the attacks on Rylkyu and FUrmoga were carried out as Q prelude to the operations for the recapture Of the Philipplnes".
 His statement carried considerable weight in view of the fact he IS commander of the mig Kure naval station and naval adviser to the Imperial Rule Assistance AsSocia- ton, JapAn's totalitarian party.
 Another surprising disclosure by the Japanese was the admission that Atnerican guerrillas still were active in the Philippines. A Domei News Agency dispatch, recorded by EGG, quoted Shoze Murata, Janan's "ain- bassador" to the occupied Philip. pines, that American guerrillas werN harasSing Japanese communications in the islands and that the puppet governments attempt to suppress the Americans "have not been very satisfactory"
 Gen. Douglas MaeArthur, colla- boratlng with Ninit2 in the cam paign against the Philippines, also extended the scope of aeEal opera tions from the southwest Pacific,
 His communique today disclosed that for eastern air force bombers raided the island 0: Leyte, in the central Philippines, for the first time Wednesday. It was the deepest penetration yet of the Philipninea by MacArthur's bomberS and came almost simultaneous with MitcherN cNtyier strike on Lu2en, in the north The LuZon attack was listed aI Tuesday, Pearl Harbor time, which would Do Wednesday in the Philip pines.
 Frelghter Sunk
 The southwest bombers sank one enemy freighter and damaged aa'' other at Leyte and damaged twO more merchantmen ct zanlboangA, on the southwestern coast of Min danao.

 The Germans were battling des- perately to keep the corridor open and the attackers encountered many newly-built plllboxes and freshly-dug earthworks. Skies were overcast, limiting air support.
 Once the corridor has been closed, the Americans can turn their full attention to clearing Aachen of the enemy and meeting the impending counter offensive.

 Last night generally was quiet on the Aaehen sector, although there was considerable enemy air activity. Most of it appeared to Do reeon- naissance, with the German com. inand surveying the front in prep- aration for their coming thrust.
