Miss Merits Arnold, a co-bowler
from Chicago IS here visiting her
finance over the holidays and OF
course one OF the first places she
visited was our bowling alley She
wished to see if we had as much
TO offer as her home runways and
was favorably impressed with our
layouts.
Henry Harden, manager Of the
Forest Bowling club spent the week

course since its the thing he is
most interested in covered the bowl
ing situation, in the towns where
he stopped. In Wilmington, Del.
he reported that there were more
women bowlers than men and that
the same was also true in Baltimore,
Md; this ought to serve as news
of encouragement to the women OF
Detroit and bring more OF them
out TO try their skill It's really
good for the figure you know In

much balanced, and in Harrisburg

better bowler. n you don't think
you'd enjoy bowling go and watch
these two gents strive to out-bowl
each other, you will say you've
never seen anyone put their hearts
into a game so strongly and so sin
ceTely.
Several young ladies who are not
1 top bowlers but who show great
promise of some DAY scoring that

RUSSIAN WINTER MAY
BE HITLER'S DOWNFALL

According to one well-informed
source In Washington. there APP
pears a strong possibility that the
Russians may be able to hold out
for three months or longer. That
would extend the war 10 late Sep
TENDER or into October. With the
approach of winter over the wide
Russian steppes. the Germans
would be faced with the prospect
OF long and difficult winter CAM
paign.
II was the Russian winter
that heat Napoleon.
The German object. IT is gen.
orally agreed, Ii To break the
Red army, make Russia militarily
impotent, and get possession Of her
food. oil and mineral resources for
the onslaught of Britain. The
Germans are capable of making
heavy sacrifices to gain these ends.
From information available. they
already have suffered heavy losses.
but so have the Russians. A great
deal depends on how long the Rus
slams can take IL. The present
course Of the war indicates that
German claims of the depletion of
Russia's man power and tank
and air equipment have been great
ly exaggerated. The Red army Is
not accomplishing what
IL Ia with bare hands.
