PIay Ball With
 Hand Grenades

Berlin, Conn, Nov. 10-(UP) The Berlin defense council today planned to pay persons to man the report center dur ing the night hours.
 Chairman James B. EIls- worth said 1t was difficult to secure volunteers to stay up an night.
 'Tt may be-" he said, 'that some patriotic residents of the town, now realizing the difficul- ty we are having in getting persons for these late shifts, will come ahead and volunteer.
 "But we must have the place manned and if 1t can be done only by paying 8 small sum for the service, we will arrange for payments"

A story of rail- road sabotage in northern France in which 50 died and 30 were hurt was carried In fine type at the bot tom of Page 1 of the Frankfurter Zeitung, January {, 1942.

 WINTER MISERY CONCEALED
 German misery on the east fsont las. winter was too intense to ig- nore forever. But Goebbels let the cat out by minute degrees. The Deutsche Allgemaine Zeitung of January 28, l942, carried pictures without comment, showing an anti aircraft battery on the northern sector of the Russian front, half buried in snow.
 Another view showed earmuffed soldiers without overcoats digging runways out of the snow on an east front flying field. Very adroitly propaganda officials had placed in the next column, a view of sunny Calcutta, then expected to be the next Axis prize.
 All this time, of course, urgent appeals were being made for skis, ski boots, wool and warm fur pieces to be sent direct to the front" Goebbels may have figured that Aryan Germans, being super -intel- ligent. could figure out for them selves the other details of the. win- ter campaign.

Worcester, Mass, Nov. 19.- two 10 year old Worcester youngsters proved that ignO- rance is bliss when they had an enjoyable afternoon playing catch with 8 couple of hand grenades.
 The boys found the weapons in 8 deserted house and were found playing with them in the WOrccster's Boys Club yester- day by Supt. William Gillian, . World War veteran. He took two grenades from one of the boys, but the other ran home where his father found him bouncing 8 grenade on the floor.

under the new fluctuating price ceiling system will be eggs, cheese, milk, citrus fruits. The 60-day price ceiling term ends December 5, but the OPA expects the new regu- lations to be ready by then to take over.
 Fluctuating Ceilings
 Ofice of Price Administration is getting sore at the lack of CO., operation on the part of the few unpatriotic manufacturers and stores who refuse to stick to and post price ceilings. Also, quality standards in some cases are not being maintained, whereas prices are. The OPA nylon-hose shop ping card which lists the grades and qualities of nylon hose and their respective ceiling prices is probably only forerunner of shop ping cards to come. Good guess is that before long there will be many such shopping cards and shoppers will be urged to insist on quality at the right ceiling prices.
