Save Some Duties For Dad
ToMake His Welcome Warm
By RUTH MILLETT

When one shoe of her Christmas
doll came apart a little six-year-
old girl in Kansas City insisted
that her Dad, a shoe repairman
by trade, fix it for her.
And SO her mother. sent it over
seas to Dad and in due time 1t
came back ''fixed'' by a father
who is spending his days repair.
ing G. I. shoes for the Quarter
master Corps.
Perhaps there is a hint in that
story for other mothers of small
children whose fathers are over.
seas Tnree hint? Well, not to take
over all of Dads jobs, but to save
some for Dad.
In an effort to keep their chill
dren from missing their fathers
! too much most service wives have
tried to do everything that Dad
once did for the kids. That's I'm.
derstandable. But carried to COM
pletion that almost pushes Dad out
Of the picutre.
STORE UP TREATS
Maybe it would be better to put
aside an occasional broken toy
| till Dad gets home to mend 1t.
And to save some special treat
like going to the zoo until Dad
comes home to manage the trip. Or
to postpone buying a dog a child
is begging for with the promise:
Dad says he will buy you a dog
as soon as he gets home"
No child is going to forget Dad
if he has such down-to-earth re-
minders that a Dad is a pretty
important person.
And no child is going to resent
his homecoming if his Mother
hasn't completely taken Dads
place-but let it be known that
some of the good things in the
child's life depend on Dads pres
ence.

Reward Emblem
Sought for
Writers of War

ONTARIO, Cal, Feb. "a. (UP)-
The Ontario Daily Report has sug
gested that congress ask the war de-
partment to create special emblem
of distinctive recognition" for
American war correspondents killed
in action.
In a telegram to Representative
Harry R. Sheppard, Cd, California,
the Report pointed out that the
correspondents, voluntarily and un-
armed, daily face death because of
their Unborn sense of public duty
to obtain accurate, first-hand news
The newspapers proposal was
prompted by the death on the Bel
gium battlefront of United Press
War Correspondent Jack Frankish
of Ontario, killed by a German
bomb during the Nazis' Christmas
offensive. Frankish and 10 other
correspondents killed in recent ac-
tions were posthumouSly awarded
the Purple Heart last week.
The Report told Sheppard that 1t
felt that the Purple Heart awards,
while laudable, were not enough to
signify the nations gratitude for
the supreme sacrifice made by the
reporters. A special, exclusive
award should be created, the news
paper said.

500 laps Return
To Coast, Many
Travel Eastward

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. (UP)-
More than 500 persons of Japanese
ancestry have returned to the Pa
cific coast from relocation camps,
Secretary of Interior Harold l..
Ickes said Saturday.
War relocation authority records
completed through February II
show that 413 Japanese went to
California, 43 to Washington, 33 to
Oregon and 80 to Arizona. The re-
port covered a seven-week period
since the army announced on Janu-
airy 2 that they would be permitted
to return to their hCmes.
An additional 1900 Japanese have
relocated eastward from the camps
since the first of the year, the state
ment said These included 352 who
went to Illinois, 100 to Ohio, 85 to
New York, 78 to Michigan and 63
to New Jersey
This group followed approx
mately $4,000 Japanese who pre-
viously had relocated eastward.
WRA reported that japanese re-
turning to the west coast have had
a predominately friendly reception
in spite of several isolated instances
of threatened boycott and organized
resistance"
The agency said a large number
of the approximately 10000 center
residents to be relocated during
the next 10 months have definite
plans and a set date of departure. ;"

Two championships were decided
in the games between Ell Centro

Centro defeated the border "A" boys
by the alright score of "a to %
the Brawley Wildcats became un-

out winners for the season in that
section. El Centre walked away with
the CaleXicans in the "B" game 25

in the championship in that bracket
inasmuch as the El Centrans al

In taking the "A" game, the El
Centrans eliminated the possibility
of tie play-off game for "a hon.

Two State Guard
Employees Face
Expulsion Move

SACRAMENTO, Feb "a. CUP)-
Adjutant General Victor r. Han
sen has filed charges with the state
personnel board asking the dismis-
sal of two civil service employees in
his office The action followed a re-
cent disclosure of shortages of state
guard equipment valued at approx
mately 100000.
Named in the charges were M. G..
Butler, property auditor, and B. F..
Quigley, a senior account clerk.
They were accused for '.incCmpe-
tency, inefficiency and inecusable
neglect of duty"
However, Hansen said that he
found no evidence of dishonesty by
the men and that the charges re-
quilted from inadequate checking of
records and the lack OF care in
handling of federal property ac-
counts.
The equipment shortages were
disclosed by a finance department
audit several months ago. 1t was
said that the equipment apparently
was lost in small amounts over
period of several years.
Both men had been employees OF
the adjutant generals office for
more than Is years.
