One was a little girl of nine

school teacher in that beautiful
country high above Manila. And
they, in common' with other little
girls in Bishop Brent's Cathedral
school for girls, and other young
teachers at the same institution,
rode Spanish .ponies down the
mountainside where tree ferns
grew. They 'saw caribou (and at
least one of them was chased by
one of the creatures once), and
shared the charm of Baguio.

charge, Ada Waddington, daugh
ter of a Manila businessman, were
together only one year in the fin
ishing school where the child, de
scribed as "charming and mis
chievous,' had been sent along
with daughters of American army
officers. But there was some mag
netism which made the year live
in the memory of each.
For when the little girl, new
a Vpoised and charming young
matron, wife at Lt J. E. Bowea
of Camp Adair, heard mentlon
: ed by a casual acquaintance
the name of "Miss Melton" as
, they discussed music in Salem,
she was Immediately Interest
ed. Could this Miss Melton be
the young woman who had
come to her school from Paris
to teach music and French?
So it was that Mrs. Bowen and
12-year-old son, Jimmie, appear
ed recently at the studio of
Frances Virginie Melton in Sa
lam. And there was recognition
in the eyes of the musician as
she welcomed them, although It
is admitted that the name of the
little girl now grown up did not
come readily to her lips.
Now, the two , who share the
memory of that year fat Bagato,
knew a new pleasure, that of
a frleaWbhl eeatlaainf from
the teacher-papn relationship.
And Miss Melton, known to
moat of Salem. Is more dellghU
ed ta the experience of know
ing as a friend the woman who
was her small pupil than In
the obvious conclusion I should
draw that the world k after
all a small place!

This particular military

With the northern and southern

launch the attack d own from
Alaska and the Aleutians, severing
Japan's supply lines to the south
Pacific, establishing and holding a
base in the Philippines,; and then
turning to the attack on Japan's
home islands. The final assault
would be coordinated with air at
tacks from bases in China and,
possibly, in Siberia, while allied
forces in. the ' Australian : zohe
would drive north to wipe out the
enemy holdings in the south
Pacific islands. , .
Such a ""pip could not be
waged without cost It might take
one year, two, or even more. But
it would take the war to the
enemy's shores "and well have
