COMMANDER SURRENDERS
They were in that observation

were relieved by 1t. Clarence Hol-
ton. Douglas, Ga; Sgt. Clifford
Johnson, Jackson, Fla; Cpl Wini-
field Mangrtlm, ParkerSfield, Cali
fornia and Pvt. Hayes Jenkins of
Newark, N. j. These men were
from Battery C in the FAB. The
citadel was constructed with typi-
cal Nazi thoroughness and was in
vulnerable.
Our boys tore several holes in the
structure but the inside was I'M
damaged However, the command
er of the citadel decided that it
was futile to hold out and sur
rendered. The field artillery play
ed a major role in the battle of st.
Malo. Here is what happened.
Positions were set up to fire 400
yards away from St. Malo. The
first three days consisted of inter
direction and harrassing firing A
coordinating attack was set to take
the G, rman citadel and a few sur
rounding islands that were hold
ing out. A and G batteries moved
! their howitZers into the cities of st.
Malo and st. Lorient where they
set their guns for direct assault on
the citadel and islands. The pur-
pose was that they could look
right through the island and the
citadel and shoot direct through 1t
at ranges of 1900 and 2,1O0 yards.
FIRE ON CITADEL
c battery took one gun section
and one gun pulled it right into the
streets of st. Malo to a bridge
where they began firing on the
citadel They used the maximum
hoWitzer charge and fired directly
on the reinforced concrete gun in
stallatiOn. Their firing mark was
80 per cent direct hits. A colonel
! for the general staff remarked that
! this particular gun section was the
| fastest and most accurate gun sec
| ton he had seen with 155 calibre
| type hoWitZer The men were thrill
ed by this compliment. The colonel
recommended the section for COM
mendation.
Landing IN France on the morn
ing Of June 90, the battalions rec
ord will make interesting reading
in the pages Of history. On that
| day reconnaissance was made for a
firing position. The same evening
at 7 p. m. the batteries moved into
position at Point Labbey and next
morning the first registration on
French soil was made by Battery
B. The objective was Hill Number
95, the high ground around La
Haye du Puts. Quite bit of
fighting took place there.

ing last week, therefore, to hear
Mr.. Edward Paschal, the distln-
guiShed editor-in-chief OF the At
lanta Journal in his weekly review
of the news, devote practically the
whole of his allotted time to
panogyric upon the life and COM
munity service of man whose
claim to this honor resided IN his
having convinced the city Of the
wisdom of wrestling from the will
dernesS the Piedmont Golf Course.
He described, at some length, the
persistent efforts of this man OF
great vision in selling his plan to the
city fathers and how much his ul-
innate success has meant to the
health, the beauty. and the recrea-
ton of greater Atlanta.
TELLS OF FACILITIES
He then launched out upon a
rather comprehensive survey of
what had been accomplished In
this Southern metropolis in the
way of providing for the peoples
constructive use of leisure. He
spoke of the acres of parks and
Fairgrounds, of the eighteen and
nine hole golf courses, of the ten
MS courts and swimming pools.
He pointed with pride" to the
thousands of citizens who annually
used these facilities, provided
through the expenditure Of thou
sands of dollars raised from the
taxation of all the people.
Not only was Atlanta providing
with generosity anG wisdom for
the recreation of her own people,
but so famous were l.er golf courses
in particular that she was rapidly
becoming the golf capital of the
nation.

lanta, have sWelled with pride over
our city's achievement in this i'm
portant phase of social engineering
had it not been for the fact that
was one of about a hundred
thousand So-called citizens who do
not share ,Atlanta's famed recrea-
tional facilities. The thousands who
tramped over the rolling golf
courses, bathed in the linpid pools,
or found physical rel abilitation
and mental relaxation on the invit-
ing municipal tennis courts did
not include one third of the tax
payers, who happened to be born
little darker than those who hold
the purse strings.
NO TENNIS COURTS
One hundred thousands of them
have no tennis courts, no parks, no
swimming pools, no golf courses.
Oh, there are few scattered bar

There is on park, deSolate and I'M

two swimming pools in this city
famous for its recreational provi-
sions for more than one hundred
thousand people. And yet that one
hundred thousand must also play if
they would live. Really they must.
1t may be that Atlanta would
rather spend thousands to main
tain jailS, institutions for juvenile
delinquents, venereal disease, eli
mics and police forces for its I'M
derprivileged minority than to APP
pear to give them an equal chance

women in Bondage" exposes
conditions which have been little
realized by the outside world, and
gives a sordid picture of home life
under the Hitler regime.
Gail Patrick and Nancy Kelly
are co-starred in this startling film,
and head cast which is eXcep-
tional in size AMI the ability of its
members. Miss Patrick is seen as
as a German woman who returns
home during the war after several
years absence, and is Mortified at
the degraded status which has been
enforced on the women of her ma
tive land. Miss Kelly is a native
girl who is arbitrarily prevented
from marrying her soldier sweet
heart, and who commits a cardinal
sin when she cries out against the
regime. The eventual punishment
of both women furnishes the ulti-
mate in brutality. Women In
Bondage" is now playing at the
Strand theater.
AS indicated, the entire cast is
excellent. Among the many who do
fine work are Bill Henry, Tala 81
rell, Gertrude Michael, Alan Bax-
ter, Rita Quigley, Felix Basch, Anne
Nagel, Mary Forbes and H. B. War
ner.

Beauties Hints
Shake a Leg,

BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

The girl who folds up like an ac-
Gordon at her desk work table or
machine, and who sits for hours
without shaking leg is going to be
the victim of fatigue early in the
day.
Fatigue is the villain of the piece
because it keeps you from doing
your best job and often slows up
others who work with you.
To GUST this wartime Saboteur sit
up as though the small of your back
were stffly starched, and balance
your weight over your pelvis bone.
A list in any direction can cause
unequal Distributing of strains and
make you a tired little girl. Brace
your feet on the foor-no crossing
of knees or angles, please. If your
chair is too low, hoist yourself with
pillows. If it's too high, lower it with
a switch Of castorS or swap with
somebody who has longer legs.
To keep that starched spine from
wrinkling, move forward and side
ways from the hips-not the waist.
Have supplies within easy reach Of
your hands and keep the things
you use so organized that you don't
have to squander your energy.
Shake leg occasionally, even IL
it's to go nowhere but to the water
cooler. You'll come back from your
excursion both mentally and physi-
cally refreshed.

Back in Grandma's day( a hus-
bnad would have been expected to
object to his wife'S smoking-no
matter how many cigars he smoked
in a day himself.
And no woman would have ex-
pected a judge to say a husband
was cruel because he derided her
clothes, ridiculed her friends and
disapproved of her generally.
Why, a wife expected her hus-
band to make fun of her hats, and
to disapprove of her dresses If
they were the least bit daring.
And a husbands, well, what did
you women gossip about today?"-
usually asked after nay party his
wife misunderstanding was a mild
form of ridicule of her friends.
GUST LIKE A WOMAN"
A proof that most men disap-
proved of their wives generally
back in the old days is the old
saying they have handed down
to the men of this age, isn't that
just like woman!"
OF course Grandpa PROBABLY never
told Grandpa to keep her eyes cast
down when she walked along the
street. But he certainly wouldn'
have approved if she had cast them
about at any other men.
So it looks as though today's
'cruel treatment" is just about
what many a Grandma had to put
up with from a fine man and a
good provider."

NO PLACE FOR DENTIST

Ripley, Believe it or not,
the name is correctly stated, being
that of this thriving community just
eight miles from the Ontario shore
of Lake Huron, reached by branch
line of the Canadian National Rail
ways which terminates at Kincar-
dine. But Ripley has more to 1t than
the name. 1t has claim to fame as
being place in which dentist
would probably starve to death for
lack of patients. An investigation by
the Ontario Board of Health, ac-
cording to Health Minister B. T.
McGhie, reveals that "the teeth of
the people are found to be excep-
tionally good" The reason? Fluorine
and Phosphorus are abundant IN
the area and the presence of these
minerals in water and homegrown
vegetables makes for health and
sound teeth.

starring roles.
I'm Our Time" is acclaimed one
Of the most unusual love stories
ever to come to the screen. For
Miss Lupino this is a new type of
role. After the tough sister in 1.-THE
Hard Way" for which she won the
New York Film Critics award, and
the jitterbug in Thank Your Lucky
Stars" she plays the young girl who
becomes the wife of a Polish noble
man. She represents the modern
generation and brings forth fresh
air into the stiff, aristocratic sur
roundingS.
Paul Henreid who was outstanding
in "Casablanca" and Nov Voy-
ager" win be seen as the Polish
Count in the picture and he por-
trays the type of man who will
build the new postwar world.
Miss Lupino and Henreid are the
actual figures Of the films tender
love story. A young girl meets Po-
liSh Count in a small antique shop
in Warsaw. They fall in love and no
matter how his family objects, he is
determined to marry her. The cou-
pie is happy, despite the obvious
hostility of his old-faShioned fam
lily. Their estate is neglected and
they have plans to make it pay.
But the war breaks out and de-
stroys all their careful planning.
The young husband has to leave
for the front. Left alone she carries
on as best she can until he comes
home wounded. The enemy is near
ing and his family plans to escape,
but the young couple stays to fight
the invading Germans to the end.
Nancy Coleman highlights her
screen career in the part of
naughty, aristocratic girl. Nazimova
returns to the screen as the mother
of the young Count and Mary b.
land and Victor Franchen are also
included in the featured cast.
Never A Dull Moment featur-
ing the Ritz Brothers with Frances

other favorites is the second hit of

Spangle and the bead twinkle like
Fourth of July sparklers on tailored
suits, blouses, after-five costumes,
headbands, hats, gloves and panama
hatS-yeS, panama hats.
However, all of this flash is strict
1y disciplined. Glitter is often the
only distinguishing mark that sets
dressy clothes apart from strictly
daytime outfits. Say stylists: "Give
a woman a touch of glitter-even
If it's only something to tie under
her chin, lance through her topknot,
slip on her hands, and transformed

Sparkler- embroidered big r e d
maple leaves are scattered here and
there on the silky top of a dress.
Sequins silidly pave big red pears
and apples that hang in isolated
splendor on a wool suit or on a
chalk-white blouse that peeps out
from under jacket. A black and
white bingham dress has waist
band of jet, which also dips down on
the skirt, makes loops and winds
up as an appliqued bow. The top of
a checked SSlirtmaker for evening
is spangled with sequins, and twink
les by lamplight like a fairy prin-
cess wand.
Polka dots are glided. Checks and
plaids are cross-httched with shin

that ties under a chin at the end of
the day, and makes a scroll as bold
as grilled ironwcVk on an ascot that
is also a collar. Large jewels, too big

and beads go to town on the sum-
merry brim of panama hat, trim
gloves which have yen to be ele-
CANT, dot wells, and flash from hat
pins that pierce your topknot.
Sparklers most plentifully used
seem to be the domestic-supplied
sequin and bead. Sequins, which
are made of powdered plastic
ground into clear sheets of glass and
colored by an enameling process,
range in size from discs 1-16 of an
inch to shiny circles as big as denli-
tasse saucers. Beads are glass and
plastic in every size, shape and color.
They are mostly all put on by hand,
but don't let that worry you for fear
your springti1ne Illumination makes
too heavy inroad on limited man
power. Used for solid surfacing or
for scattered touches is a crochet
process, which takes place on the

is almost speedy enough to qualify

Mary Beard especially harm
full. Now we know that sick people
will recover faster in a sunny room,
well ventilated both day ano night.
The sickbed should be arranged
so that the patient does not face
the window directly, or have the sun
in his eyes. The shades can usually
be adjusted to protect him from
glare without shutting out all sun
light.
Sickroom odors are likely to be-
come very annoying and it is pos
sible to have circulating fresh air
without exposing the patient too
much for his good. Doors and win
dows should be opened wide once or
twice day until the air in the
room has been thoroughly changed.
Care must betaken when this is
done that the patient is well COW
cred and protected from draft or
wind. A scarf or cap should be put
on his head in chilly weather. A
window should be kept open an
inch or so at all times except when
he is having his bath or his body
is uncovered for examination or
treatment.
SCREEN DETECTS DRAFTS
A convenient improvised screen
to protect the patient from draft
may be made by placing a clothes
horse between the bed and the
window and hanging sheet on it.
Two high-back chairs may be used
in the same way.
An adjustable screen that will At
