About a year ago, Pearl started
drawing caricatures of members Of

The drawings were so amusing to
her brother and his buddies that

I never thought of you very much,
Though I'd known you many years;
But the other day 4 telegram came,
And saw your mothers tears.
To me you were "one Of the Kids on
the block"
And the best baseball player Of all.
When Pearl Harbor came along,
And you answered your country's
call.
You had just gotten out Of senior
high,
That day not very long ago,
When you went to enlist, and our
whole town
Was covered with q hood Of snow.
You said you'd get those Japs or
else:
You fought with might and main,
Until one day your plane went out
And never returned again.
We are thinking Of you here at
home,
You and other boys like you,
Who, though just kids, have given
their lives
For what they believed was good
and true.
And we say prayer for those who 80
To take up their country's fight.
Who revenge you boys who have
given all
To rekindle the holy light.
And assure the peace and freedom
Which Is the heritage of all,
To help our sister nations
Who pause but shall not fall.
For these things and for others,
You we're willing to give your life,
And we shall always remember
Your part in this mighty strife.
Remember with sadness and longing.
For though we will win in the end,
1t was you boys who have sacrificed
most of all,
Your lives we have had to spend.

hibitions. Another exception is
little painting of a child-"Angie"-
which is subtle and sensitive.
Among the Landscapes
In the painting of landscapes Mr..
Lahey is more successful, although
he uses for them, as for his por-
traits, more or less of a formula
and seems to strive for Immediate
and striking effect-as for example
In THE End of Summer" and
smaller canvases painted on the
coast of Maine In these paintings,
done out-of-doors, Mr.. Lahey not
infrequently introduces f1gures-as
for instance that of a luncheon
party on an open piazza-entitled
Summertime in Maine" in which
he himself is pictured at the head
of the table. In the upper corner
of this painting is given a glimpse
of the distant sea, dotted with white
sails, bowing before the brisk breeze
"a charming souvenir of happy
days down east
Two of the larger paintings in
this exhibition were done as studies
for murals-one for the post office
in Brownsville, Pa. Both are local
scenes to be included in the saga
of America.
1t is worthy of note that in this
exhibition water colors are shown
side by side with oils to the dis
advantage of neither. To such ex-
tent has the weaker medium now
gained in strength.
A word should also be said for
the prints, in which one finds better
craftsmanship, greater refinement
of line and evident technical skill.
Some OF the best of these date back,
as do the city pictures, to the early
summers in Europe, when the artist
was certainly very impressionable
and moved by emotion. From first
to last this retrospective exhibition
is thought-provoking and engaging.

Rosanne Knudson, 1888 North
Thirtieth street, Arlington, tells of
an unusual way she and some
friends found to help the Red Cross.
Our two-piano class had met all
winter and we thought 1t would be
nice to give a recital" she says.
Since we also wanted to do some
thing for the Red Gross, we decided
to combine the two ideas. We were
going to have the recital during
Red Cross week, but one Of the
class got measles.
Finally. on Memorial Day, we
gave the recital at the home of our
teacher. We played selections for
two pianos by Strauss, Schubert,
Brahms and Grieg, and also played
with violin some selections from
Carmen and q concerto. There
are four in the class, aged 8, 10,
II and IL.
"One very interesting thing"
Rosanne continues was little

WASHINGTON, April 25 -
II was the youngest full admiral
in the Navy. 57-year-old Ray
mond Ames Spruance, who was
in overall command of air and
amphibious forces which have
scored two series of sensational
victories in the Pacific. In Feb
ruary, his ships and planes
knocked off Kwajalein and Roi,
then Eniwetok. And few days
ago. reaching within $50 miles
of the Philippines in series of
raids. his forces rolled up the
greatest success since the battle
of Midway.
Spruance had been confirmed
as full admiral only on Febru-
airy 10. But in his brilliant
strategy, catching the Japs flat
footed, he proved his right to
wear four stars.
AS a vice admiral. he had
shown his tactical skill in all
the operations Of the central
Pacific. He was in command at
Tarawa and Maxim in the selz-
ure of the Gilberts.
Before that, he was out of the
news for over a year. He had
l,oo,, -, Comm, and nf task fOrcp
at the Battle Of Midway, in the
late summer Of 1912, when big
Jap invasion force was caught
and turned back With heavy
losses. He got a Distinguished
Service medal for that, but
along with it he was appointed
chief of staff TO Admiral Ches-
ter w. Nimitz, and he had to

PLANNED NEW ATTACKS
But it was there that he work
ed out the plans which he him
self was TO carry out as COM
mander-in-chief at the Gilbert
and Marshall Islands invasions,
and later in the attacks on
Palau, zap, Woleai and Ulithi.
For his Job at the Gilberts he
was awarded a Gold Star in lieu
of second DSM.
Among Navy men Admiral
Spruance is rated highest as a
master tactician. Unlike most
Of the higher officers in the Pa
cific area, he is not an airman.
but his handling OF combined
amphibious and air forces has
set the pattern for all such oper-
atoms.
He came up through the Navy
with considerable service as an
engineer officer. Appointed to
Annapolis in 1903, although his
father had tried TO interest him
in West Point, he saw his first
service on the old Iowa. Then
he was assigned for engineering
instruction. He was made a
lieutenant commander in 1917,
and during part of he war was
executive officer on the USS
Agamemnon, hauling troops
from France. That was inter
esting. he once confided, but no
way for fighting man to make
a living.
Outbreak of the Second World
War found him in Puerto Rico
as head of the new 10th Naval
District. He didn't get TO
Pearl Harbor until early in
1912. but there he saw the
wreckage of Pearl Harbor re-
built into the greatest fleet ever
to put TO sea, with himself as its
commander
Admiral Spruance was born
in Baltimore, but his perman-
ent home ashore is in Indian
apolis. His wife and their
daughter Margaret, named after
Mrs. Spruance, are now in Mon
rovia, Cal.
He believes in luck. At Tara
wa, luck was bad. But he learn
ed from the mistakes and the
bad luck there -Kwajalein,
Roi, Eniwetok, Palau, zap and
the rest, luck was good. And he
never leaves off working to i'm
prove his luck.
His other precept is that no
one branch of the service can
do it all Working together is
what wins.
