Der Tag, according to all reports
coming over the wire from the Eas-
tern theater Of war is at hand, and
the once mighty, but now badly
mauled Nazi military machine is
throwing off the lethargy that has
SO well marked it during the past
winter months in preparation for a
great assault on the Russian lines.
So far neither side has had much to
report. The Huns" say that mar
velous secret weapons perfected
during the winter months when all
they could do was sit on the ice
and think (thus proving my state
ment that the Nazi brains were in
their posteriors) are ready for ac-
ton. These weapons, If we believe
the Nazis and who does? are most
horrible, in fact they will revolu-
tionize modern welfare. We are
willing to wager that the only thing
they will revolutionize will be Ger
many, and from neutral reports
that country of the double cross is
ripe for revolution, counter revolu-
tion and a complete eradication of
the Nazi overlords, who instead of
perfecting weapons, had better per-
feet some new speedy means of
transportation out of Germany, for
unless miss my guess before the
year is out several of the Nazi
elite will fall victims of good old
fashioned necktie parties, the kind
where you throw the necktie over
the nearest light pole and pull hard.

While it is not our intent to take
anything away from the great AL
lied naval victory over the Japs in
the Coral Sea, we do believe that
this battle is only the beginning
The Japs will be back and the next
time they will bring some of their
heavy ships, backed up by hundreds
of the deadly Zero fighters. We
can not afford to relax our vigilance
for a minute We must be ready
we will be ready and with the help
of God and our brave fighting men
and the fighting men of our allies,
we will turn back the hordes of
Nippon and crush once and for all |
the power of this heather race.

Every road will lead to Milford
next Wednesday and every Milford
street will converge on the ball
park where two baseball teams COM
posed entirely of men serving in the
armed forces of the nation will play
a ball game for the benefit of the
US0. DR.. Walter L. Grier, who has
been interested in baseball in Mil
ford for the past fifty years and
during that time has done more to
promote the best interests of the
sport in this community than any
other person Of our acquaintance,
has arranged the game. One team is
from Fort dupont, the other is from
camps in and near Georgetown.
Playing on both teams are men who
have in the past earned their daily
bread playing ball. In addition to
the game which will start promptly
at six o'clock, the men from the
Georgetown camps will put on an
artillery. drill with complete equip
inent If you have never seea the
big guns which defend our coast in
action this is your chance. In ad-
dition to the battery of guns, ar
mOred half tracks fully manned
will demonstrate their ability to
put an enemy out of action while
travelling at top speed. Last, but
not least, the band from Fort du-
Pont will give concert. Sooner or
later you will be contacted for
donation to aid the USO, so why
not pay 55c and see a real good ball
game, bang-up military review,
and hear thrilling concert. Your ,
at the game will be not
ed as your contribution.
