 Advises from the front said the Russians had broken strongly held German lines at several places and seized two large junction points in two days of deadly fighting that forced the Nazis to call vainly for reserves.

BEST DAMNED THING
 EVER DID," SAYS
 WIS BOY IN MARINES

When 1 joined the Marines it was the best darned thing I ever did," writes Robert Shermer, former Wrangell High School student now serving with the Signal Battalion of that branch of the armed forces In San Diego.
 Indicating that the well known Marine slogan "Semper Fidelis" is fast being imbued into Wrangell's home town boy, his letter shows a true Marines pride in his outfit. A touch of wanting to know what the kids back home are doing" also shows. He is especially interested in knowing what the basketball team has done the past season. Shermer formerly played for Wran- gell High.
 Shermer is stationed at San Diego. And for the benefit of the kids at home" his address is Pvt. R. W. Shermer, Telephone Class No. 49, Signal Battalion, San Diego, Calif- ornia.
 P. S. Better drop him line, girls. Just as a warning Shermer says, If all other methods and wiles fail with the girls you can be sure of one certain thing-that's a suit of "lea' therneck blues'-Hot Dawg! Ever as ugly as yours truly is it is 6 slight matter on the menu of shore leave." He indicates the Marines have an inside track in southern California when it comes to the fem mine pulchritude" In other words it can be understood that the Mar ines still have "the situation wei in hand"
