Back to School
For Don De Fore

HOLLYWOOD - Don De-
Fore, who quit university in his
second year in order to go into
the theater, is completing his
college education.
He enrolled in the University
Iof California at Los Angeles
summer school and took courses
leading to bachelor of arts de-
gree. The handsome six-foot
two leading man finished his
role with Betty Hutton in Para
mounts "The Stork Club" in
time to enroll for summer
courses. He had no new picture
assignment in the immediate
future and was confident that he
could mix schooling and acting
during the summer months.
AS a starter Don took courses
in Czechoslovakian and Spanish
languages and in political sci
ence. The actor is of Czech de-
scent on one side of the family
and already has a speaking
knowledge of the slavic tongue.
His interest in political science
is a holdover from his early am
bition to be a lawyer.
Don was studyig law at the
University of Iowa when he left
school and came to California to
launch himself on theatrical
career at the Pasadena Play
house.
In order to continue his edu-
cation in the fall he has en-
rolled in college extension
classes.

The fire started from a small fire outside of a cabin west of Mrs. Baldwin'S house where rubbish was being burned.

 About three o'clock another alarm was given from the east end of town. Rv. George Loveless was cleaning up his property when the small fire he had started spread to a spot where oil had been spilled, causing a big blaze.

 Time will reveal that the original Japanese pattern of conquest ln- cluded seizure of tho Hawaiian Is- lands. immediately after the attack on Pearl Harhor, and invasion of the west coast of the United States and Australia. These plans were partly frustrated by Japan,s over extension and er-estimation of British strength.
 Actual Bris4sh operations in the Pacific were largely unpuhlicized all during the war. Press reports were concerned mainly with outstanding British defeats and official com munigues handled successes with considerable understatement.

In the spiritual field 1t was even more successful be- cause it had an ancient religion to build upon. AS ill Germany, this new totalitarianism, based on a revival of ancient ways and ancient superstitions, was hailed in Japan as the wave of the fu- ture and presented to the world as means for its salvation.
 The political mobilization con- sisted of the suppression of all political parties and the creation of a one-party state functioning under the Fuehrer principle and centering around the Emperor But the leadership was completely in the hands of the dominant military clique. The single party organization, together with the Diet filled by it, became merely a puppet of the military, like the Emperor.

Japan Spent 10 Years Preparing For The Task Of World Conquest
"Monchurio In- cident" 1" Set-Off Fireworks Book in I03l

In order to prepare herself for the task of world conquest, Japan, like Nazi Germany, carried through within 10 years a complete spiritual, political, economic, and military mobilization of the nation. The mo- bilization began in 1881, when the 'Manchuria Incident" put the na- tion in a war-like mood and the military in the saddle. It was fair- ly well completed just before Pearl Harbor. Through it, Japan was con- certed from a promising democracy into a totalitarian military state whose super -structoure followed the Nazi blueprint, but whose founda- tion was wholly Japanese.
 The spiritual mobilization con- sisted of ruthless purge of all American and European thought and return to the spirit of Old Japan. Liberalism and individual ism, freedom and democracy, which had given Japan the sem- blance of a modern nation. were denounced as causes of disunity and decay. and expunged as "dan- gerous thoughts" Instead, Japan
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-08-15

The economic mobilization, car ried through by so-called New Bureaucrats' unde rthe aegis oi the military, established complete state control over industry, com merce, and trade. over capital and labor, over production and con- sumption.
 Finally the military mobilization, the end product of all other mea- sures, was completed in greatest secrecy, but with such efficiency that it's results surprised the world. Part of the military mobilization was the battle of the cradle"-t to increase Japan's birth rate in or der to replace the losses of war, to produce more people to shout for more land.

London. Aug. I5-CUP) Little has been written about the British effort in the Pacific war. The ex- planation is simple: from Sept. 3 1889 until V-E Day, Britains armed might was concentrated in Europe and the Middle East and her actions in Asia were overshadowed by gil gantic American operations.
 Britain was almost denuded oi her naval. army and air strength in the far east as early as May, 1885 when Mussolini invaded Ethiopia and the Mediterranean scare arose. Awareness of her vulnerabil- ity in Asia was intensified in Aug ust, 1899 when Japan massed her armies on the borders of Hong Kong.

 When war began in Europe, Brit ish garrisons in the far east. were skeleton like, her navy depleted and airforce merely plans on paper.
 During 1889 and 1940, Britain launched planned campaign publi- cizing her preparedness throughout the far east, particularly at Singa- pore. Official statements in L,on- don repeatedly hinted at ''chains of secret airfields stretching from Burma through Mayala to Borneo.' ?
 This British publicity. though often clumsily handled, caused Ja- pan to concentrate a far greater effort over much more widely ex- tended area than prove Unnecessary. For example, five divisions were concentrated for the invasion of Malaya, though the operations could have been carried out by only two divisions.

 Mayors Statement
 His statement in full is as fol. lows:
 The Japanese surrender is glori- ous news. It is the military victory toward which we have striven since December, 1941. We can be proud that Waterbury has done its part to bring about this vic- tory through its contribution of men and industrial power.
 Our first thought now should be of those men and women who have given their lives to make this day possible, Our debt to them is eternal.
 Winning this war is an epic triumph and it is proper that with its achievement there should be time of celebration. As good Americans, however, we should do our celebrating with dignity and restraint.
 As patriotic citizens we must not forget the task which lies ahead. Our domestic problems will be intensified by the quick peace. In this day of triumph, we should determine to meet these prob- lems with courage and foresight, and resolve to work together in peace with the same unity of purpose that we have shown in war.

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And. you're on the road to feeling better.
