PAGE EIGHT Hovo Singapore Fell Described For Club Group In vivid word pictures, the succes sive days of the bombing of Singa pore, until its surrender to tne enemy, were presented to the Business and Professional Women's club at the luncheon meeting on Tuesday. Different and more impressive even than the news reel were these pictures, graphically sketched by Paul Bradley, whose glad return to the homeland is but a span of a few happy weeks. Alr. cmuic.Vt cugagcu tional and missionary work in Ma laya, his wife and young son, experienced the days of terror in Singapore preceding its destruction and were there during the final days of devastation, and the climax on January 2L After weeks of endeavor with hundreds of other Americans, secure passage on any craft, they were afforded truly refugee quarters on a ion freighter, and required to bring cota, bedding end food. All one's earthly belongings permitted for the voyage were one suitcase per person.

The rules for hip admittance were "women and children first," then "elderly women and men," then "young women" and "men last." But in some cases related Mr. Bradley, the men reached the objective "first." The joy of Americans in the nect of escape, was not dimmed at the docks by the necessity of leav ing eutomobiles of every make, be hind, the keys being Destowea wnn rift of ownership on any takers, The little vessel not yet out of the harbor and with giant ships on either side targets, for flaming bombs, with destructive results, by a miracle was not hit. The expres sion, of some was "good luck, of another, "eood fortune," of another it was "providential." Prayer was not lacking among the voyagers. The docks were burning with destruction of tons and tons of rub ber, gallons and gallons of oil and gas. Java, after much adventure, was reached, and finally 'Australia, a haven of safety for the time.

The Bradleys reached this coast from Australia on the Monterey, which had carried troops to Australia. They reached California in time for the last full moon. Mr. Bradley said they knew Southern California moonlight, but even that did not eclipse the marvelous brightness of a Singapore moon. After the moon, there was daylight bombing, if anything more terrifying than that by night.

The splendid courage of the peo ple of all races in aid to the wounded was wonderful. The collection of races in The Melting Pot of Singapore "took it" and did courageous work. In 15 or 20 minutes' bombing 1.200 lives could be snuffed out. Mr. Bradley described the shelter under their front porch.

Everyone made little journeys from one shelter to another. In the crowded district, the brick buildings were like tenements. Children were supplied not only with identification tags, but whistles which they could blow if they met with disaster and needed help. Mr. Bradley was an A.R..P.

group member Air Raid Precau-tioner. The club confirmed the report of the nominating committee in a vote by ballot for the incoming staff of officers, those who will be installed later this month as announced before are Ida Keir Brooks, president; Pearl Martin, first vice-president; Marjorie Hambley, second vice-president; Faye Slater, recording secretary; Margaret Miles, corresponding secretary; Katherine Costello, treasurer.
