Children S
Show
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Dssssis Ti.>s G.rdsa E1issr

BEFORE NE are the sched-
ules of two flower shows
planned and managed by adults
for the children in an ele-
mentary school. There are
many suggestions in the classes
in these schedules that would
help clubs or P-TA's or groups
OF mothers who would like tn
stage a show for their own
youngsters.
Some Of these I will pass on
10 you today. But first / must
explain that one Of these sched-
ules is for a show to be held on
Saturday of this week, the
other is of a similar show held
last year by the same club.
Thus the new schedule is an
improved version.
For Boys Only
One of the things the latest
list has is a section for boys
Otiiys ADCIC dIC tWO CIdScCS III
this section, one a pan garden
in patriotic design using figures
or objects in miniature. The
size Of the pan must not exceed
II inches in its largest meas
urement. The other class calls
for a hobby exhibit, which may
or may not have anything TO do
with flowers OF nature. but is
Grand for boys.
These pan gardens are fun. A
miniature scene is built within
the confines OF the pan and the
imagination may run riot within
the limits of available figures
and accessories.
Last year a boy showed an
interesting swamp and forest
scene complete with Indians
and wigwams. There was even
tiny birch bark canoe drawn
up at the edge OF the swamp.
Canoe and wigwams were made
by the boy.

Heavily armed with light and heavy machine guns, bazookas, bangalore torpe- does, flame throwers, smoke pots and the infantryman's MI Gar and rifle, such a team is more than a match for the average Jap coconut or steel and concrete box Small balloons released from the ground were rarely missed by men shooting both light and heav- ies. Instructors say that several Japanese fighter planes have act ually been shot down by this Wild West shooting.
 Not far from this training cen- ter you'll find rest camps for pi- lots, navigators and crewmen of Saipan's B-29 squadrons. Here they slug few mild beers, take 10-day break, and sweat out their return to what most of them feel is the toughest deal in the world.
 LIFE IS CHEAP
 Tokyo raiders from the Saipan base are often in the air 14 hours sweating out. storms, naviga- tional hazards, intense enemy flax over the target, scores of enemy fighters.
 No two B-29 pilots agree on whether the anti-aircraft defenses of Germany are better than those of Japan, but all agree the Japs are pretty good" laying down a solid walking wall" over some areas of Japan. ...
 Without fighter protection of any kind during the early days, the B-29s have faced fanatical Japanese death plunges head on, More than one B-29 has been sent to 8 flaming death by suicidal Nips who, too, lost their planes.
 It took four Japanese fighters to get their B-2O in this fashion one day, but they got it finally when it dropped out of formation from 8 hit and they gathered in for the kill.
 Saipan is free of air raids now, they say, but it wasn't so long ago that Japanese bombers paid an occasional visit. One day raid by fighters was costly for the Japs, when every enemy fighter over the island was shot down. They had planned it this way and each Jap carried his burial cross.
 It doesn't make sense to the Occidental mind, but that's the way they are.

 The new variety series will give Dunninger ample opportunity to test his unusual powers. Listeners will be invited to send in letters with problems for the Master Men, tails to solve without opening the envelopes. The studio audience, too will take part in feats of thought projection with the fabulous Dun- ninger. And there will be the wiz ards famous Brain Busters" seem- ingly impossible exploits but not impossible for Dunninger.
 At all times, the Master Mentalist will be surrounded by three expert judges, a service man and two na- tionally known figures, who will be on hand to check and double-check the authenticity of every feat.
