had no children"
She added, II understand he has
seen his commanding officer about
the quads and I'm hoping ar
engagements will be made. to en-
able us to get married some time
in the future.'
The father, who was present
when the babies were born Mon
day and who helped to name them,
has since rejoined his unit without
being able to have another look
at the two boys and two girls. His
name has not yet been officially
disclosed since the births have not
been officially recorded and need
not be for three months.

WAR PRODUCTION
ICONS

In November, every five min
uteS saw the birth of one new
complete plane. The months
total was 1888. of which 1000
were heavy bombers. More
than 10000 war planes have
been built since the start of
hostilities.
Nineteen million tons Of
merchant ships were launched
in 1943, compared to 1,16S,o0O
tons in 1941.
About a dozen aircraft car
riers were turned out in No
vember alone. Warship tonnage
in 1941 was 2,132,0OO. Out of
the ashes of Pearl Harbor It
rose to 100000 tons in 1943, a
colossus bent on the destruc~
ton of japanese aggression
and Nazi tyranny.
Tanks, guns and supplies are
being produced in unbelievable
quantities.
