and his wife and their nine children, from Hungary. With the rest of the lucky thousand permitted entry
under the President’s plan, they will be kept in Fort Ontario, near Oswego, N. Y.. until the end of the war

Tractors on Tinian Excursion
A long line of marine and army amphibious tractors, coming into the
beach at Tinian island, looks like a holiday excursion train, one after
another as they near the shore. It was just another stop on the road to

more than a match for the best that Tokyo could give.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Dombrose of Chicago.
