TEBE SANFORD
REPORTED DEAD

To a hopeful mother Friday came
tbe heart-rendering news that her
am, PM-2c Tebe Dewitt Sanford.
T., had gone to his death on O.
toner "a. 1914, when a japanese
hin on which ne was prisoner
81 war. was sunk by an Allied sub.
v1orne off Shoonan, Eastern coast
~ China. Word to this effect was
saceived by Mrs. Tebe D. San
tord sos S. Third street, from H.
q atkinson, commander, officer
IN charge, casualty section, U. S.
N. R.
According to Commander Atkin-
,on.s letter. PM-2c Sanford, had
boen carried on the official rec
ards of the Navy Department as
prisoner of war, but that "a full
roriew of the evidence pertaining
~ his status, it had been ascer-
to;ned that on Oct. II. 1914, he
bad been held captive by the Jap
anese in the Bilibid Prisoner OF
War camp, Philippine Islands.
Later, apparently, he was plac-
ed ,l BOARD Japanes freighte1
snnarently en- route to Japan. The
chin was anchored in the cove of
~ island about 200 to 300 miles
from Manila on Oct. 20, 1914, and
from there. in a convoy Of Jap
anese ships, proceeded in general
northward direction.
On Oct. "a, this ship, which
bore no mark to indicate it was
carving prisoners of war, was tor
nedoed and sunk off Shoonan. Rec
ords retained by the japanese au-
1borities in the Philippine Islands,
have come into possession of the
United States Naval personnel, and
these records reveal that PM-2c,
Tebe Sanford, Jr, did not survive
tie sinking. Eight months have
elapsed since the date of the dis
aster. during which no further
word has been received.
1t has therefore been determin-
ed that PM-2c, Tebe Sanford, Jr.,
died on Oct. "a, 1914 as a result
Of the sinking. Accordingly, his
status has been changed on the
records of this bureau from pris-
oner of war to deceased.
The Navy Department shares
in your loss and extends sincere
sympathy to you in your sorrow.
It is hoped that you may find COM
fort in the knowledge that your son
gave his life for his country, up
holding the highest traditions of
the Navy"
A member the ROTC for two
years, Tebe Sanford was the son
of Mrs. Sanford and the late Mr..

The House worked until twilight
to finish up the price control act
and, shortly before adjournment,
named its own conferees to work
out differences with the Senate.
Amendment after amendment
was toppled by the Democratic
majority during the day-long at
tack upon the OPA, but every
change the Republicans regarded
as important got into the bill be-
fore it won final passage.
A proposal suggested by Former
President Herbert Hoover for strip

ministration pressure, only to be
replaced a few minutes late- by
the more Drastic Andersen amend

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: My father is a
good man. He doesn't drink, is
faithful to mother and provides for
the family as well as he can, but
he gets moody spells when he won't
talk to mother sometimes for
months at a time. When she asks
him what the trouble is, all she
gets is a grunt as his reply. How
ever, she goes on with her house
work, helps him like hired clerk
in their business and waits patiently
until he gets ready to talk to her
and treat her like human being
again.
We children have noticed that
these spells usually come on after
mother has gone to one of her clubs
or even to church, or if she has
had company while he was work
ing. This has been going on fol-
some 20 years. What do you think
of a man like that? What is your
solution to the problem?
Answer think your father is q
heel and your mother a weakling
and one of them is just about as
much to blame for the situation al

must get to feel that he goes to bed
not just for his parents convenience
but because when he is tired it is
good to rest and sleep. To instill
this feeling in an active child takes
patience, but it is worth it.
A child must have certain
amount of freedom. The use of
force should be limited to things
that are really important-running
out in the street, playing with
matches, hurting other children or
animals, taking things that are not
really his. If you don't give, your
child reasonable freedom of the
house he will not learn to behave in
your house or in other peoples
houses when you are visiting. Our
little boy is unusually well behaved
when visiting 'l'ts\s
Don't beat all the curiosity and
life out of your child just so you can
keep the house neat. What is more
important, the child's future char
acter or the wallpaper? Children
are not made to be broken, like
horses. Human beings are supposed
to be endowed with the power of
reason. We should try to encourage
this power in children.
I don't wish to appear as an ad-
vocate Of progressive" education in
the sense of letting children run
wild and learn nothing. The child
must learn discipline, but he must
learn it and understand that there

the paper sack, broke up the sugar

Sofas>to>Be
By Elizabeth MaeRae Boykix

There's going to be quite a revo-
luton on the home front. Only this
will be pleasant peaceful shift of
gears, because it will involve changes
in almost all the familiar things
we use an live with.
Don't get excited about the argu-
ment between modern and tradi-
tional styles In furnishings, for that
isn't what We mean at all. Things
won't necessarily look so different.
The old familiar things can take on
new talents Just as we'll as can the
slick and modern designs.
The changes we mean are going
to be mostly a matter Of the ma
terials used. Take that most i'm
portant and dramatic piece of furni-
ture in the living room-the sofa.
New sofas may look the same as the
old ones, but their insides will be
made Of foam rubber which means
that you'll never more have to worry
about springs sagging down or pok-
Ing up, moths won't feast here and
mold or dampness will do no DAM
age. Also they will be lighter In
weight and easier to recover. Even
tually the whole piece will be less
expensive to buy.
But the changes won't stop with
the filling. The covering may be
made of any number of new ma
terials, in any color, texture or pat
tern you may desire. 1t will be
something you can keep clean with
a damp cloth, something that won't
burn, not even If a lighted cigarette
Is left on it, and something that
won't shrink, sag or rub. Such mi
racle materials are already actually
in production.

boy, and he would still use the
tactics of spoiled boy in getting
his own way and making his family
kowtow to him by making himself
SO disagreeable that they would
rather give in to his moods than
fight it out with him.
All that your father needs is to
be dealt with on the kid basis, and
if your mother had had the nerve,
metaphorica,ly speaking, to turn
him across her knees and give him a
good spanking whenever he began
to gloom, it would have had exactly
the same effect upon him that it
does upon a bad child. All of us
have seen youngsters who went into
tantrums turned into beaming pa
ciflcoes in a minute by q little
judicious use of the slipper.
Your mother needn't have stood
20 years Of husband passing into
the silence whenever he didn't get
his own way about a thing. All she
would have had to do would be to
pack up her bag and leave note
behind her saying that she would
not return until he got over his
crouch and would be on speaking
terms again; that she had gone to
find more agreeable companionsfip.

can squeeze into your shoes, al
many sweaters as your coat will but
ton over, ski-pants or jodhpurs on
top OF (now don't laugh) long
woolies; scarfs, mittens and ear
muffs will help keep you from sneez-
ing at your partner as he asks you
for the next dance, few evenings
later.
A gang of friends, all enjoying this
together, Is fine at the time, but
there may be after-effects that will
take up a lot of time you hadn't in
tended to spare. Frozen toes and
noses may be laughed at, but they
have a peculiar effect on ones con-
stitution, especially If wet clothes
are left on. That may sound like
old stuff; mothers have been going
through the same routine for years,
but like lots of good advice mothers
hand out, it may have gone in one
ear and out the other.
Wet clothes aren't anything but a
liability. If you have worn layer
upon layer Of socks, scarfs, sweaters,
just peel off a couple of those before
they have chance to seep through
TO you. Hang them up to dry where
they won't drip all over your hos
tess best rug and then start warm-
ing up over the nearest radiator.
A very important item is a supply
OF cleaning tissues which aren't as
hard to get as during the war years.
Perhaps if you have forgotten yours
or have exhausted the supply you
brought, your hostess could have an
extra stock for just that purpose.
And it's a grim fact that nipped
noses will run. and must be taken
care of. Another piece of advice
mothers have been giving Is to take
a nice, hot beverage to get you warm
quickly. Hot chocolate is wonderful
and doesn't take more than a few
minutes to make. With cookies and
sandwiches to go with it, you have
the perfect ending for a perfect
time-and no code in the node" for
a dreary follow-up couple of days
afterWard.
