their cosmetics, medicines and
notions lines, as we'll as smok-
ers' supplies.
The prescription department
has been modernized to every
extent, by the installation of
new equipment and a complete
new supply Of medicines for the
compromising Of prescriptions.
Harris states that fortunately
the fire did not destroy his files
Of past-filled prescriptions which
are always kept in fire proof

customers served by this depart
ment of the Cunningham Stores.
New fountain and lunch-ba
facilities and fixtures have been
added 10 improve the service for
shoppers and office workers.

the Japs attacked it would be in the
Philippines and that greater strength
should be accorded MacArthur's forces
there. Yet the Philippines were wide
open for attack and Macarthur had little
to go on. If there were no fears for
Honolulu, why was it that practically
the entire Pacific fleet was at anchor
at Pear Harbor? Nineteen of the war
ships held there 'to be sure there were
no overt attacks were victims of the
attack. Orders for the fleets movement
had to emanate from Washington.
While the findings do not clear Short
and Kimmel, the tenor of the indictment
against them is to the effect that theirs
were mistakes of omission rather than
commission
No doubt much in the way of detail
will be brought out when Congress dis
cusses the findings, and still more when
all those involved in the blame come to
the time when they can speak for them
selves.
1t was plainly a mess Perhaps the
best thing to do is to forget it. We have
won the war, And perhaps it is Just as
we'll that the board did not recommend
