On Luzon S North Tip,
Trapping 10000 Japsi
b the Associated Press.

y the Associated Press.
MANILA, June 23.-The pre-
else spot where the Japanese
first invaded the Philippines has
become their death trap.
The Japs landed December TO-
1s41, at Aparri, on the north tip of
Luzon. Today Gen. Macarthur dis
closed that Aparri has been recap
tured in 4 surprise thrust which
bottled up the last major enemy
force on the island in a stretch of
less than 90 miles 'ufs The Cagayan
Valley. -ol 5'HNF- :
1t marks the beginning of the end
OF organized japanese resistance on
Luzon, reinvaded by Gen. MacAr-
thur last Januarpc9.
An enemy force, estimated at pos
sibly 1000 electives, faced the hard
choice OF standing and dying in
broken-up groups in the valley or
waiting out slow death In noun
tain refugees.
Some are caught in less than
60-mile stretch between guerrillas
and United States 9th Army in
fantrymen advancing south below
captured Aparri and other guerrillas
who seized the Cagayan Province
capital of Tuguegarao.
Many Are Trapped.
Others are pressed between the
captors Of Tuguegarao and Amer
lean 37th Infantry Division troops
a scant 30 miles southwark at the
overrun town of San Juan.
The euerrillss who helped win
Aparri had pushed around the
northwest tip of Luzon through
undefended cliff sections where the
road was a mere single lane shelf
1000 feet above the racing tides
of Babuyan Channel Then they
negotiated swamp lands in the Bal
lesteros area west Of the Cagayan
River. -:
The japanese were outmaneuvered
at every turn. Hamilton w. Faron,
Associated Press correspondent in
the Cagayan Valley, reported the
enemy hid camoufiaged tanks in
side roads in the hope of bringing
them out to the rear of Yank
columns Surmising such move,
armor of the 37th went in after
them. In two days, the japanese
lost % tanks.
Borneo Airfield Taken.
On Western Borneo, the Australian
9th Division has overrun the 1000
foot Miri airfield mile south of
occupied Lutong and patrols ranged
on toward Miri town without meet
ing strong opposition. That point
is more than 80 miles below the
scene of the original landing beaches
at Brunei Bay
without elaboration. Tokyo
radio said an Allied feet of more
than so large vessels and landing
harges, escorted by two cruisers
and two destroyers approached
an, area fronting Miri' Wednes-
day.
Today's communique reported a
240-ton rain of explosives by so
Liberators on Balikpapan. This on;
center on Borneo's east coast has
taken daily aerial pounding. eUn-4

have told Of big Allied feet

An Artist Supreme

Down through the ages great artists
have bequeathed us masterpieces that have
become immortal, but none, however great
has ever been able to surpass, for beauty of
color, Jack Frost, who annually repeats his
miracle here each October.
A stealthy retiring creature, who is able
to bring about great changes, this wien
gnome, steals about silently at eventide,
touching all natures garments with brush
es of comets hair There he dashes bold
crimson, here, russell brown, the purple
tinge of late autumn grapes, bright gold
and burnt orange. Here he leaves I'm
touched spot of green, which lends con-
trast to his richer hues. Again, he pauses
to search among his tubes for those deli
cate pastel tints of blushing rose, dusty
pink, soft mauve and the pale yellow of
Springs buttercups
Like the old masters, he works slowly
in the beginning, gradually adding deeper
tones to his vast canvass as mortals rush
about their routine task, pausing now and
then to admire the flaming beauty of Mo-
ther Nature. After days of continuous
painting, he leaves his matchless canvass
on exhibition for brief time before he
gradually sobers down his tones until there
is>little left to greet November's chill, ex-
cept warm coat of dark brown and the
promise of another bright October Fair
Mother Nature has been generous to
this county and has blessed it with large
number of the 1855 species of trees found in
North Carolina And in no other place in
this State have we ever seen such a varia-
ton of autumn hues October has really
given colorful party to which the leaves
by millions have come, dressed in their
best that we may long remember their
beauty when all of the splendor has faded
and the bare branches, dashed by the cold
north wind, look down on the brown mass
es of leaves under blanket of snow.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1945-10-25

given their lives, some will have to spend
many months in hospitals, others will have
to be rehabilitated. The grim cost is yet
to be paid. And we must remember that
if peace was worth fighting for it is worth
paying for.
In the past, war bonds helped to pay
for food for fighters, tools for victory, uni
FORMS ships, planes, tanks and guns. All
of this made it possible for brave men to
finish their jobs. Now, we must finish
ours.
When we buy Victory Bonds we can
have the satisfaction of knowing that we
are paying for hospital and reconditioning
care for our wounded, mastering out pay
for service men and women, CT loans to
help veterans establish themselves and
their families in civilian life, postwar edu
cation programs for boys who left school
to go to war and journey home for battle
weary men.
Let's show our appreciation to men who
have made the supreme sacrifice, to those
who have been wounded and to all of those
who have fought for victory and peace,
by buying VICTORY BONDS. Remember,
we are only asked to lend our money to
buy our share in the soundest investment
on earth. What will you invest for peace?

Buying Bonds For Peace

We believe that every true American
citizen is thankful for peace. We believe
the extent of this thankfulness will be def
initely expressed in the support of the Vic
tory Loan Drive, which opens on Mon
day, October %. Ashe county people have
responded nobly to all of the war loan
drives and we cannot believe they will fall
down on this, the last and greatest, the
Victory Loan Drive. Ashe has a quota
of $172,OOOOO. But. this is not large when
we consider the price many Ashe county
men have paid for victory. Many have
