On Jan. 16 my Corps was hit. Fresh
Jap troops had landed at Port Binanga, on
the northwestern coast of Bataan, and now,
after a march southwark through the
jungle, they hit my First Philippine DiVi=

morning, called on one troop of the
Twenty-sixth Cavalry to help battalion
of the First Philippine Division, and we
managed to drive the Japs back across the
Moron River.
But the main infantry battalion COM
mander suffered a. severe head wound
during the fighting. The next senior Of
ficer, Capt. John Wheeler, took command
and though he had been painfully wounded
in the leg, he stuck with his men until they
had scored this delaying victory.
The situation over on Parker'S left
flank was deteriorating so badly how
ever, that my own right flank was becom-
ing impefiled. This put me in the position
of having to meet possible attacks, not only
from the north and from the China Sea to
my left, but also from the right, or east. |

that northwestern sector of Bataan.
went north and directed the counter
attack on the Jap forces holding the road,
throwing all available reserves against
them. But they held doggedly So the First
Philippine Division had to get back to the
south, and to at least temporary safety, by
coming down the narrow, sandy, rocky
beaches which lay between the China Sea
and the Jap-held highway.
This mean that the trapped force had
to destroy all its heavier guns and all its
transportation equipment, for there was no
way 10 get this materlel down the beaches.
The men trudged back afoot, carrying their
wounded on quickly made litters or on the
backs of the strong. 1t was a fearful trek
In the midst of the fight for the Moron
Bagac road, was ordered by Macarthur
to withdraw all forces to the reserve battle
position"-a line running close to and ap-
proXimately parallel with the Piar-Bagac
road, which crosses Bataan like waist belt
That withdrawal, which had to be eff
fected by the morning Of Jan 20, had an
obvious purpose. 1t moved the | and II
Corps back TO less mountainous ground, re-

away from that Internal mountain which

Umbrella Shampoo
BY VIVIAN BROWN
AP NeWSfeatureS Writer

1t is necessary to clean light
colored umbrellas occasionally be-
cause they will often show their
dinginess quicker than the darker
shades.
Before you attempt to shampoo
your umbrella, however, open it
and brush the fabric with a clothes
brush to remove loose rust or dry
mud. Spots which look like grease
should be sponged with a cleaning
fluid.
Textile specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture sug-
gest that the bathtub is perhaps
the most convenient place to wash,
rinse and dry the umbrella.
Open umbrella and 60 over the
outside of it with soft brush
dipped in thick, lukewarm suds
of mild soap. Give special atten-
ton to the center fold where fab
ric usually shows the most soil.
Rinse by holding it under spray
of lukeWarm water from the show.
er or by pouring clear water from
a bowl over it. Leave it open in
the tub to dry.
To keep your umbrella good
looking, don't knock it about the
closet floor or put it away damp
which might cause mildeW.

Canning Glasses
Being Conducted
CORDELIA B. FOSTER

Rain or shine. when the modern
homemaker is determined to learn
something new or a new method of
performing old tasks, She will go to
any extremes to satisfy this de-
sire. The weather this week was
enough to discourage, even ducks
but Wilmington homemakers
came out in all that rain to the
canning class in the Tide Water
Power company's home service
kitchen, to. learn how to can
peaches without sugar.
Yes, we know there is not much
sugar for canning A sugar can
ming stamp is just about hunting
license these days :. but not hav-
ing stamp, is no reason for not can
ming the beautiful peaches that are
on the market. True, you will have
to use sugar, syrup, or honey when
you open the jars, but it might be
easier on the family sugar supply
to sweeten peaches a quart at a
time Corn syrup and honey are
good sugar stretchers, but any
other strong-flavored syrups or
brown sugar, in canning, may
cause canned fruits to spoil and, of
course. one does not use saccharn
at all in canning.
This lesson on canning peaches
without sugar and the correst
method of canning with the pres
sure cooker, will be demonstra-
ted at this meeting also.
The trouble that many home
makers have with their home can
ming, is that they try to be one day
mass producers. 1t may look easier
to do quantity at a clip, but it's
less dependable. Better current
practice is to put up smaller
patches oftener.
Another suggestion to home
makers, don't be casual about con-
tainers. Examine tops of jars and
lids to be sure there are no hicks,
cracks, and sharp edges. For open
kettle method all equipment must
be scrupulously washed, h r
sterilized. For hot water bath, al
jars, caps, new rubber rings, ano
lids. must be thoroughly cleaned il
hot, soapy. water and rinsed well
then sterilized.

BEACHES MAY NOT
Set DDT SUPPLY

DR.. A. H. Elliot, county health
officer, said yesterday lat the
possibility of obtaining the insec-
ticide, DOT, for open air spray
ing here seemed remote.
Referring to a letter from DR..
&c. V. Reynolds, State Health Off
Ger, DR.. Elliott said he had been
advised that the chemical was not
available yet. DR.. Reynolds en-
closed a copy of letter from DR..
w. K. Sharp, U. S. Public Health
Officer for this district, which gave
no hope of testing the chemical in
area spraying here as has been
done at several resorts, notably
Jones Beach in New York.
However, DR.. Elliott said, very
effective. work has been done in
controlling malarial infestations in
this area, resulting in consider
able decrease in fever infections
over the last decade. The work in
eliminating anopheles larvae has
been largely carried on within one
mile of cities and towns and hous-
ling and defense areas by the U. S.
Health service but has been limit
ed by petroleum products ration
ing as larvacides of the kerosene
type are the most widely used.
DR.. Elliott said that up until
this time, only the anopheles larvae
had been the object of the health
agency's efforts, as the nuisance
mosquitoes, while thoroughly OBJ.
Jectionabfe, are not disease car.
riers.
With the use of DOT and the pc
troleum products which will be
more plentiful after the war, a
general program of mosquito elm.
NATION is in the cards for this
area, DR.. Elliott indicated.

Despite heavy damage and cas-

canteen, and the students are send
ing out letters to parents asking
that they pledge 81 a month to
start the canteen and keep it run
ming.
In these times when any nigh
school student can get a job, and
when it isn't unusual for a boy
working in a war plant to be max
ing as much as any of his teach
ers, the kids could support their
own canteen, instead of begging
help from school teachers and par
ents who have so many calls on
their pocket books.
Zone bad effect all of this "ju-
venile delinquency talk has had
on kids is that they have come to
feel self-righteous about demand
ing this and that for themselves.
All too often they take the attitude
toward their elders: eff you don't
want us hanging around dives -
then get busy and do something
about it."
Yet boys just year or so older
than these high school kids who ex-
pect their parents and teachers to
support canteen for them are
men in the service of their coun-
try. 1t looks as though whoever is
advising the kids ought to make it
plain that as high school students
in wartime, they ought to be able
to earn the money for their own
pleasure.
Any high school student who
can't earn at least a dollar a month
to provide a place for himself to
dance and loaf doesn't deserve the
place.
