Romulo, a native Filipino on General Mac Arthur's staff, in his book of "I Saw the Fall of the Philippines" gives a first-hand account of the last brave defense of Bataan by the American and Filipino ' sol diers. With a price on his head for his Voice of Freedom broad casts, Colonel Romulo was or dered by General MacArthur to leave Bataan. Romulo left Bataan the night before it fell, April 8, 1942. He was the last man to leave. He left under heavy Japanese fire in the "Old Duck," a patch work amphibian that could rise scarcely seventy feet above the bay. He took with him the fare well letters of the trapped sol diers and his personal diary from which this book was written. In spite of sentences and even entire paragraphs censored out by the War Department, Colonel Romulo presents a graphic pic ture of life in the tunnels of the Corregidor and in the fox holes of Bataan the last days before their fall. "How do you make a living?" "Isn't housekeeping difficult?" "Ar2n't you terribly bored?" "Is it worthwhile?" Mrs. Louise Rich in "We Took to the Woods" gives some very interesting answers to these questions. Her book is a refreshing story of life in the Rich home in the north woods of Maine. She tells of their cabin in the Rangely lake region where they live all the year round, the dogs, the large tracts of wooded lands, rushing rivers, the pet skunk, fish ing at night, and getting lost in the Woods. She and her husband have lived in the woods for the past five years just because they wanted to. Mrs. Rich's entertain ing narrative, vivid description, humor, and philosophy make "We Took to the Woods" worthwhile reading.
