 On Luzon, only four miles sep arated columns converging on the vital Ipo dam from north and south. Filipino guerrillas captured the high ground overlooking the Angat river and drove within $500 yards of the dam, source of Manila's wa ter supply.

 Gains also continued on oil-rich Tarakan Island, off the coast of Borneo where Australian troops gained two miles to within 1 1-2 miles of Karoengan, near the south ern tip of the island.
 The Japanese still fought stub- bornly in the center of Tarakan. Both medium bombers and fighters gave the ground forces close sup port.

Patrols still are encountering pockets of resistance and one Australian party was am- pushed. It withdrew successfully af- ter inflicting some casualties on the enemy)

Veteran Grocer Retiring
 After AS Years OfService

the business today MT. Mccarthy plans to spend his time at farming, a lifelong interest.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-12

Today marks the close of bus mess career which began in 1897 when Charles J. Mccarthy opened a meat and grocery store at the corner of Magill and Fuller streets. Since that time his name has de- noted service and consideration 10 the people of the Baldwin street section.
 Like the village store of old, Mo- Carthy's market became the cen- ter of neighborhood interest where the mothers, fathers and children gathered to shop and exchange bits of news. In the early days Mir. Mccarthy drove horse from his home in Oakville to open his store at six o'clock so that his customers might have fresh milk and bread before leaving for their work in the fac tories. From that hour until ten at night he served as storekeeper, counselor and friend.
 To young and old he has been af- fectionately known as Charlie" Children flocked to the store, know Ing that a nlIC or q lOLSlIS LOOK would bring forth a cookie or candy. Two generations of young men have bade farewell to Charlie" as they departed to serve their country in conflict
 Regardless of weather conditions, through blizzard and stifing heat, he has given continuous service for these forty eight years. Many times "C. J." resorted to the use of a sleigh, much to the delight of the kiddies.
 In 1910 MT. Mccarthy moved his business to Bridge street. Fourteen years later he returned to the orig inal site where he erected a new building.
 For many years he has had as his associate, his niece, Miss Pearl Graves, with whom he resides on Laurel street. Their names have become synonymous with service to the locality.
 Following his termination with

There is so much 10 tell
about your Red Arrow III
vision. But | want 10 say
something especially to those
parents who lost their sons
over there. II Is something
Ithink they want to know.
CEMETERIES WELL KEPT
"our American cemeteries are
beautifully KEPT. The Christian
boys rest under white crosses,
carefully marked. One OF the
first tasks undertaken after we
had dug In on any given spot
WAS To see that an acceptable
burial place was established.
And our boys were all given
decent Christian burials. 1 think
parents wan 30 know that.
But the wounded and dead were
not the chapfaInis only concern
by any means. He smiled little
and said:
II wonder how many love let
ters I've written-hundredS I'd
say. You see sometimes n lad
would come 10 me 10 talk about
his domestic problem. He'd show
me n letter he was writing
home. Often I'd be forced Ia say:
Son. II you're having trouble
noW a. Is nothing TO WhGt you're
going 70 have IL you ssnd thar
Lsftsr. NoW say somethinR HLe
@~Ihen I would improvise. Al
ways they would say; Write IL
dovn. father Id scribbIe an
outline.
"If things got too confused.
often l wrote 90 the home folks
myself 20 help explain the situ-
alton. ] hope that helped.
AS a young priest I always
respected our missionary fathers,
and rath her took them for
granted. n ever bread cast
upon the water, returned the
work OF missionaries In New
Guinea paid dividends for our
boys. The Christian natives es-
pecially were wonderful.
With our wounded those ma
tives were as gentle as women.
IL was touching to watch them.
In long painful tricks back to
hrst aid stations the natives
often would hold n palm leaf
over wounded boys head TO
keep of the sun.
TURN TO RELIGION
They are chIldlike, too, and
very appealing. When we finally
got motorized vehicles, jeeps and
trucks, they were Wild with de-
light. IL was cOmlcal sight to
see truck load OF them going
up the road. all yelling AT the
top of their lungs like children.
"Of course the closer the
troops come 10 the front lines
the more their thought turn 10
their religion. That il why
priests and ministers and rabbis
are In the front lines where We
are needed most.
II think most of all I disliked

warning, maybe five seconds and
IL Is like fash OF lightning.
And about our boys coming
back home. Remember they're
the same lads who went away.
For most there il nothing wrong
with them and just getting home
won't cure"
The 39-year-old priest has said
burial service for his boys while
shells Shrieked overhead, and
snipers sent over bullets.
And OF one thing YOU may be
sure. The famous Red Arrow has
a special place in the priests
prayers each day. even though he
is so far away from his boys now.
