Enemy pressure increased and cas ualities became heavier. All except the actual cannoneers fought infan try fashion, and succeeded in taking 30 to 40 prisoners At last the battalion commander decided that the position at Villeroux was untenable. The batteries mov ed near Senonchamps. As the out fit began to pull out. one of the rad io trucks was disabled by mortar fire Through a hail of small arms fire, Sergeant Donald Corzo, Haddon field- New Jersey, went to the truck and destroyed all the signal equip' ment to prevent its falling into Jer ry hands At Senonchamps the battalion pre pared for a last stand. Because of casualiteis- all gun crews were re duced to the minimum- By this time it was obvious the enemy was on all sides The battalion guns were set up to fire all around the circle. “We made two-gun platoons,” explained Major James W- Melville, operat ions officer of Broken Bow, Nebr aska. “and fired in all directions. We hadtargets everywhere—would have fired more ammunition than we'd used at Brest.—if we’d had the stuff. The guns were firing at ranges of 1200 to 1500 yards—guns which nor mally have a range of 12,000 to IS, 000 yards. “We took everything the Germans had to throm” said Serg earn Lloyd Wilkinson, of 363 Bairn bridge Street. Brooklyn, New York, “tanks, mortars small arms fire That mortar fire was like hail. 1 never thought that a 155-mm howit zer outfit would get that close to mortar fire- I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t been foi the help we got from that airborne infantry outfit. They’re hot stuti , best outfit I know.” A nondescript dog found shivering near the battalion comand post was one factor which helped keep the men's spirits up. “Kaupt" as he wa» christened, adopted the battalion ai first sight. He is now the official battalion mascot It was hazardous to make surveys form the gun positions. On one oc casion when machine gun fire pin ned down the survey section. Stafl Sergeant Harry Quintyne, 295 W 150th Street. New York City, crawl ed back, got a machine gun. destroy ed one German machinegun and ef fectively pined down the others un til the survey was completed. On another occasion, Sergeant Fred Solman, Messina* Georgia, out of patience with an irritating Nazi machinegun, crawled out with one infantryman, destroyed the gun. ana brought back five prisoners Ammunition was a serious prob lem. Finally only clearly observed targets were fired upon- and one gun was used in place of a battery. And still German pressure increased.

C.—I am a woman of 32, maried, have no children and now separat ed and have been for five months. During this time I have met and started going with another man who has been very nice to me. My hus band knows of this man. Now my husband is demanding that I go tack with him. He says he will give me a month to break away from this other man. The other man has a common-law wife. Do you think my husband wants to settle down and be nice to me or will he continue to be a lover of other women? Arts: Morally,, all three of you are guilty of the same offense . that of encouraging an affair when neither of you are free to do so. Outside affairs always invariably bring disappointments and disillusion ntent. It was a blow to your husband when you left him. He immed iately- realized that he was ready to put outside interest out of his life and wants nothing more than to start life over again with you. Bring about a reconciliation now before any damage is done and you two can live a normal, congenial life together. V. N.—Two years ago you helped me out on a difficult problem and now I am coming to you again. I am 20 years old and am going with a soldier who is a year older. In a couple of weeks it will mark out go ing together one year. I’m sure I love him just as he says he loves me. We’re going to marry next month. I’ve gotten acquainted with most of his people through mail and they seem to be very nice. My people are fond of him. Here is my question. Before I met him I was going with a boy from here. He is in the Army now too. I promised him that I’d wait for him. Do you think I should keep this just because it’s a prom ise? Do you think he’ll hate me for it, Of course it won’t matter much because I know I’ll be marrying the one that I really love. What do you think? Ans: The correct thing to do is to write this boy as soon as possible and tell him that you have ftad a change of heart and wish to be relieved of the promise you made him. He, nor anyone else can ever condemn you for being honest and true to your convictions. It will soften the blow for the young man if you write him yourself as the news is bound to leak out sooner or later through others. R. F.—We married ten years ago and separated two years later. He is now in serwice and has decided he wants a divorce. He says he has found the person he loves. Should I grant him a divorce? My decision depends on your answer. I too, have found someone 1 love. Ans: For eight years you have been separated and during this time you have had no inclination to resume your married life so it is only logical that you grant your husband his freedom. You can't make a new life for yourself without your 1 egal freedom. It’s best this way. Li. E.—-I am a girl of 18 and my problem is this: "To kiss or not to kiss?” I have ben taking company 3 years and still can’t find the right answer. My parents don’t approve of a girl kissing unless they’re en gaged. Some of my girl friends say that if I don’t, I won’t have a boy friend. Others say, the boys don’t really mean it, they are just trying me out to see if I will or not. I have quit most of my boy friends be cause of this problem. Every time one brings me home, he wants to squeeze and kiss me goodnight. When I would refuse, he would ask, why not? The other girls do. If you say it's right, I’m willing to kiss the boy friend I have now. 1 think he's the right one because he’s wait ing patiently. Ans: A good night kiss shouldn't be damaging if it isn’t carried to the extreme. But once it becomes a habit your reputation is at stake. The girl who is a little stinyg with her kisses and keeps herself mas ter of the situation is the one all the boys run after and seek out. Promiscuous kissing should never be indulged in. The mystery that surrounds a girl who keps a boy guesing is far more tantalizing than giving in to every whim his fancy dictates. My suggestion is that you b ea conservative and have no reason for regrets later on. lery, fought on stubbornly Then the tide turned. C-47s ap peared. dropping supplies of food and ammunition.
