Quilt Names
Recall Many
Memories
By KEtKE L. SIMPSON
Wide World War Analyst for The Statesman
A United Nations disaster of maximum proportions is tak
ing swift shape in the Far Pacific. The battle of Singapore, the
great British citadel of .empire, is all but lost. Hours may see its
fall to overwhelming Japanese attack and signalize the worst
blow of this war to British arms,
and to : allied hopes, rivalling in
effect the fall of France.
. It is not only loss of the Singa
pore base itself as a strategic key
that counts. Despite official out
givings from both London and
Washington as to Anglo-American
reinforcements reaching the
Pacific scene of action, forewarn
ing: that Singapore might not
prove able to hold out indefinitely
pave been voiced repeatedly on
Voth sides of the Atlantic.
Yet the intimation has been
that it could withstand siege
long enough' for adequate allied
defense forces to' be rallied in
the Dutch Indies. With that in
mind, the allied generalissimo,
General Wavell, called for a
British stand at Singapore as at
Tobrnk. Within two days after
the first Japanese crossed the
Johore straight moat on to
Singapore island, however, its
main defenses have crumbled
and the fate of Its garrison is
: ominously uncertain.
The time element is the major
factor involved at Singapore. At
this stage to what extent the grand
strategy worked out in the Roosevelt-Churchill
conferences count
ed upon additional weeks or even
months to muster reinforcements
in the Dutch Indies while Singa
pore still stood can only be con
jectured. It is scarcely possible,
however, that the war plan evolv
ed did not rely heavily on a pro
longed Japanese delay "at Singa
. pore.
It was to reach the Dutch
islands and their precious oil
resources that Japan struck in
the Pacific. Her case exactly
parallels that of Germany. Both
must have oil, and Japan struck
for it in the Pacific as Hitler
struck for it in Russia.
With' a complete victory soon at
Singapore, Japan will be a long
stride closer that prime oil ob
jective than her nazi associate.
Her next move is likely to be a
mass attack on the Java bastion
still guarding Dutch high-test oil
sources.
There is another imponderable
political aspect to the impending
Singapore disaster. Prime Minis
ter Churchill faced down a parlia
ment restive with apprehension as
to fate of that jewel in the British
belt of empire. With Singapore
actually lost, he may come to the
gravest crisis of his war cap
taincy, further to confuse allied
councils.
BRUSH CREEK The names of
her friends sewed on pieces from
their own dress materials and the
whole formed into quilt blocks
was the interesting gift Mrs. Anna
K. Jensen of here received this
week from her daughter, Mrs.
John Isaakson, Galata, Mont.
Mrs. Isaakson, who visited here
few years ago, had then gather
ed a number of the pieces from
her mother's friends. Others were
later obtained by writing.
Pleasant hours are being spent
by Mrs. Jensen, who has been
somewhat of an invalid in recent
years and who passed her 82nd
birthday on January 31, recalling
when this friend wore that par
ticular print dress.
Some of the persons, whose
names and dress materials appear
in the quilt are now dead, thers
have moved away and some have
since changed their names.
The names contained on the
quilt blocks include Caroline
Madsen, Caroline Thompson, Mrs.
N. Hall, Mrs. B. Tingelstad, Mrs.
Ole Hatteberg, Christina Jacob
