• We, The Women
By RUTH MILLETT
“I'll Rive vou $50 every time
you earn a promotion,” a father
told his son when the boy enlist-
ed in the Aimy in June, 1941. )
That promise has cost the dad
| money. Recently he received this
telegram from son: “Tough luek, j
Dad. Credit mv account with $50.
That brought the total to $200, *
for the son hud just been made
a master sergeant. Hut his dad
probably thinks that $200 was the
best money he ever spent. For
with it he bought morale for him-
self and son.
DAD IS FOR HIM
When his boy volunteered, he
let him know right off that he
was all for him. He let him know
that he expected him to like the
Army and to get ahead in it. He
treated the whole business as
matter-of-factly as though his son
were going into a profession.
Any lather can do that much
tor his son—even if he can't
promise a nice bonus for promo-
tions—simply by adopting this
dad's attitude. For a father’s at- ,
I titude ha.-' a direct bearing on a I
son's viewpoint. And the least j
any dud can do is encourage his
son to look on his Army service
us a new job to be done as well
as possible, instead of an inter-
ruption of normal life, a dreary j
interlude to be endured.

And so began a memorable trip.
The skipper brought the plane

Everywhere is the record of a
great victory and a great collapse
ton earth and the wreckage of
the latest desi»n in machines ana
equipment of war. But most im-
pressive was the clear indication
of speed.
After the first bloody stand,
panic seized the Axis forces. Signs
of combat lessen and the mark.?
of speed increase. Here you can
see mountainous evidence of 'he
devastation wrought on Axis
tanks, warplanes and transports
by the British and American Av
forces.
The fleeing Boche and Ital-
ians didn't even pause at Hal
fsya (Hellfi:e) Pass—a strong
position south of Bardia where
they would have made a stand
if capable of holding at all.
Here the escarpment shoots up
from the desert and forms a plat-
eau which continues westward.
The so-called pass isn’t a oass at
all, -but a zig-zag highway from
the desert floor to the top cf the
escarpment. Actually there are
two highwavs, four miles apart,
and either >. f them could be ie

equipped armv.

How much of a stand Rommel

j things:
(1) Whether Axis forces in
Tunisia can hold Bizerte and
Tunis against the Allied of

(2) What striking power re-

has suffered huge losses in men
and material and the troops
have been run ragged bv the

500 miles that, in the early
stages, was a debacle.
