WEEKLY CREMATION CHAT
PA. Check Results In G.I.s Making Wills, Powers of Attorney

Judging from the success of the Personal Affairs interviews now be- ing conducted by the Personal Af- fairs Section of the Base Special Service Office, dependents and rel atives of Bradley G.I.'s will be we'll protected should any mishap occur to their soldier.
 According to the Personal Af- fairs Sections interviewers, large percentage of those interviewed have executed powers of attorney and made wills that will greatly aid their dependents in securing vari- ous benefits due them should the soldier go overseas and become a casualty of war or prisoner.
 With a power of attorney, a sol- dier may designate anyone he chooses to take any legal action in his name such as sign checks, col- lect rents, sell property, etc. In will, a soldier may leave his prop erty 10 any person or persons nd desires and this not only includes his present property but any that may belong to him subsequent to the making of his will, the only way to be sure that his property goes to those he wants to have it. The Personal Affairs Section also checks such matters as proper des- ignation of benefciaries for insur, ance, bonds, etc., and classification specialists from Unit Personnel check the CHS form POS.
 All in all, those interviewed have expressed satisfaction at the chance to straighten out their per- sonal affairs, leaving the office with the knowledge that their loved ones are protected. Before the present program is completed, every officer and E.M. at this Base will have been interviewed.

o. Is it true that because I am not a native American, but only a naturalized citizen, I am barred from OCS?
 A. No, that is false. It is only necessary that you become a citi- zen before your appointment as an officer candidate. You can become citizen after 90 days in the Army.
 0. I have two children. One lives with my wife, the other lives with my former wife, now divorced but still dependent on me. Is it true that the child living with my for mer wife gets S3O a month, because it was the first born, while my other child gets only S20 a month under the Class A allotment?
 A. No. Each of your children will receive S25 month. The to- tai sum of family allowance pay- ments for all children of soldier is divided equally among them.
 O. was drafted in 1942 when I was 39. In March, 1943, tried to transfer from active to inactive service, but my papers were lost in Personnel. Now, I am we'll into my 4O's and not much good around here and I want to know if 1 can get a discharge.
 A. Because you were over 3S on or before Feb. 2S, 1943, you were eligible to apply for transfer to the inactive list as average before July 1, 1943. This you did, but be- cause your papers were lost, you're still in. Now, all you can do is write to the Adjutant General In Washington and find out if your papers are on file there. If they are, you may get out. Otherwise, you'll stay in. It is contrary to the Army's present policies to dis charge anyone who is useful in any way.

And there you have the story in a nutshell-The Nazi idea of edu- cation. Teach WAR. Educate your people toward conquest, teach them the art of mass murder, nothing toward art, science, literature un- less it benefits the imperialistic, en- slaving theories of the alleged mas ter race.
 How different from the Nazi dark age ideas of education are our American theories. Even as our sci- entists devote their energies toward creating weapons of war, they, in turn, plan beneficial, hu- mane jobs for their creations in peace time Even with wars dark shadow lowering above our coun- try, we still teach our children the benefits of peace and the advan- tages of education toward making these years of peace an era of great scientific and artistic achieve ments. -...:.

CHERBOURG LIBERATED

The port of Cherbourg, formally occupied by the United States forces on June twenty-seventh, re- presents the first large city liberat- ed and returned to the French peo- pie in the Normandy campaign, Major General J. Lawton Collins, who formerly commanded a divi- sion in Guadalcanal, was announced as having led the Seventh United States Army Corps, composed of the 4th, 79th and 9th divisions, across the Cotentin Peninsula and up to it's metropolis.
 At the southern margin of the city, west of Fort du Roule, tun- nel was discolsed during the mop, ping up operation still holding Ger man gunners. When the American commander ordered up artillery, German voices were heard crying, "Cease firing" American fire was held as German Lieutenant goose stepped with his white flag to sur render. Out of the tunnel came It. General Carl Wilhelm von Schlie- ben, commander of the Cherbourg garrison, Konter Admiral Hen- necke, sea defender of Normandy and approximately 800 soldiers.
 Repair and restoration of Cher bourg's harbour is already under way by Army engineers and Naval repair units. It is interesting to note that Cherbourg is 300 miles closer to New York than London. Considerable time will be saved when the stopover in Britain can be eliminated and troops and mate rial can be moved directly to France. Railway-operating battal- ions under Brigadier General Clar- ence L. Burpea are working along with Harbor-restoration units to prepare the way for streams of railroad equipment ready for ship ment to the Continent
 
 Casualty reports, according to the United Press, are as follows:
 The number of Germans captur- ed by American forces in France from D-Day to the capture of Cherbourg, totaled 28,S49. German casualties in the campaign are es- timated at 10000, including five generals killed.
 American casualties in Norman dy are reported to be 24,162, 35ths of the Allied total of 40,549 in the first two weeks of fighting.

She'd answered from throat tight with

He wanted it more than he'd ever wanted
anything else in his life.

inc why you've put me through such scener'
And she'd heard Steves voice, shaken and
hoarse, and loud because it was fighting down
fear:
I'm do something about her, all right. III
take her away on wedding trip! III quit
school and earn living. And I'll never ask
you for a cent as long as live!'
But Steve loved his mother. That was the
worst of it. His father was dead and he had
no other living relatives; in spite of his moth
er's icy tyranny, he loved her.
That was why Patricia had given him up.
He had called. He had pleaded. But wisdom
had helped bolster her resolution - hurting
wisdom that showed her how slim chance
their love stood with Steve's mother set
against it.
And then, quite suddenly, Steve had en-
listed. He had called and told her that he'd
been ordered to Pacific duty. Would she see
him just once - before he left?
Heb been on flrlough For two weeks. A
breathing spell before the plunge. He hadn't
said much about the uncertainty ahead, nor
how he felt about it. She'd sensed all that.
On the second week, he had asked her to
marry him.
She'd remembered, then, his mothers
warning: TOO young - both of you" And
doubt had laid cold fingers on her heart:
'Oh, Steve - if only l could know what's
rightp' She'd buried her head against the
khaki of his uniform. The cool metal of the
crossed rifles at his collar had scratched her
cheek, and suddenly she'd burst out, We're
not too young Steve! You're not too young
to fight - and I'm not too young" - she'd
forced the hard words out - ito say good-by
and wonder if - it will be the last time -
He'd stopped the words off, kissing her.
But it had been shaken kiss. Tomorrow,
Patricia! Marry me tomorrow"

She'd tried to keep the fear from her voice:

For while she'd tried not to worry, but
as the day had begun to slip away, terror had
laid hold of her. Suppose his mother had
found out they were going to be married?
What if she tried to stop them? She could
threaten an annulment if they went ahead in
spite of her.
When Steve had finally rung the doorbell
to Pats apartment, she'd rushed to meet
him, fright in her eyes.

Oh, it had been wonderful - that week.
1t would have been perfect save for the one
fear that never left Patricia - the fear that
Steve's mother would find out. But there'd
been no word from Mrs Conroy, no sign she'd
discovered their secret.
Then, at the train, before he left, Steve
had mentioned his mother, in way that made
Patricia's heart stand still. Watching him,
she'd known there was something he wanted
to say, something very difficult And she'd

liver since the day of her secret marriage
T. to Private Steve Conroy, Patricia had
known she'd have to face this meeting with
her mother-in-law.
She'd have to face it as she'd faced saying
good-by to Steve - waving and smiling and
swallowing past the ache in her throat as
his California bound train pulled out of Penn
Station. She'd known then that he was headed
for Pacific duty, and when the train began to
move, and his blue eyes and dark hair began
to blur bit, many of the things his mother
had said rushed back to her.
TOO young - That had been his moth
er's decision when they'd asked her permis-
sion to marry - both of you. You're head
strong children The whole idea is preposter-
GUS too ridiculous to even discuss!"
Patricia would remember always that ges-
ture of Mrs Conroy' hand, which had seemed
to dispose of any argument 1t was as if she'd
flicked speck of dust from her sables; it was
no more than the quick fash of her brilliant
diamonds in the sun. And yet somehow it had
frozen the words on Pats lips - the eager,
stumbling, pleading words that would have
made her pride kneel down, that would have
been worth the kneeling if they'd won her
Steve. That gesture of his mothers had 81
lenced Steve too, and for while there had
been no sound at all, save the faint rustic of
leaves in the trees bordering the tagged ter
race, and the hushed lap-lapping noise of
Long Island Sound.
AFTER a few interminable moments, Mrs.
Conroy had rung for the butler and asked
him the time. She could as easily have asked
Steve, who was wearing in plain sight the
square gold watch she had given him. But
in calling the butler, she had laid such stress
upon the time that it was somehow dis
missal for both Steve and Patricia.
Pat had sprung up from her chair then.
She had felt vulnerable and hurt and young,
realizing that she was bungling hopelessly
the most important moment of her life. She'd
held out a damp hand to Steve's mother,
who'd taken it briefly in her own cool steady
one and then let it drop as if she had no
more use for it.
Abruptly all the hot rebellion had spilled
over inside Patricia, and the words had burst
from her - bitter words that age might have
taught her not to say: "You must have hurt
such lot of people Just the way you hurt
me today. But you're 50 frozen up behind all
that money of yours, you don't know what
it is to be hurt yourself! Nobody could hurt
you - ever, ever - because you don't care
about people - Then she had done it. The
awful thing. The childish thing. She had burst
into tears
