TANKS DESTROYED

Tsimlyanskaya is 100 miles up the
Don from RostOv.
"One of our units destroyed 25
German tanks and 700 officers and
men" the communique asserted
THE Soviet air force continued to
attack enemy columns and destroyed
much material, among which were
27 tanks dispersed and partly wiped
out, two companies of enemy infan-
try and at least one company of
cavalry.
Our bombers attacked enemy
airdromes, destroyed % German
planes on the ground and damaged
another 15"
The communique said last night
our troops fought battles with the
enemy in the regions of Voronezh
and TSimlyanskaya. There were no
material changes on other sectors. ="
LAST STAND DUE

Marshal Semyon Timoshenko had
withdrawn his forces when they
left Rostov and Novocherkassk, but
it was assumed he would make
desperate effort to halt the Ger

largely depends.
The Communist party organ PRAY

the fresh German divisions fed into
the battle as the list, 82nd, 305th,
336th, 340th, 346th, 37lst, 370th and
377th infantry, and the oath and
9th tank divisions.
Although the Russians did not
appear to be gaining much ground,
their counteroffenSive at Voronezh,
on the Don, 290 miles above Rostov
had developed heavy battles that
were destroying Germans by the
hundred. The Germans, with rein

to halt the Russians, front-line dis

northeast and southwest of Voro-
nezh, the Russians forced two pas

Golden Text: Matthew 24:13.-
He that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
A Bible Citation from the Les
son-Sermon: Psalms 11S:1,14, IL,
1900 give thanks unto the
Lord; for he is good: because his
mercy endureth forever. IA. The

Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: The Bible calls death an
enemy, and Jesus overcame death
and the grave instead of yielding
to them. He was "the way" To
him, therefore. death was not the
threshold over which he must pass
into living glory. Now, cried
the apostle, ''is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation"
meaning, not that now men must
prepare for a future-world saliva
ton, or safety. but that now is the
time in which to experience that
salvation in spirit and in life.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

The nations motor vehicle traf-
fic toll of 10000 lives in 1941 was
$500 more than the year before
an increase of 16 per cent over the
1910 total of 34,501.
In reaching an all-time high, the
1941 traffic toll topped the previous
high of 39,643 in 1897 by more than
$50.
In addition to the fatalities, 1941
traffic accidents resulted in approx
imately 100000 non-fatal injuries,
about 100000 of which caused per-
manent disability.
The direct economic losses re-
sulting from these traffic accidents
are estimated at $500, 100000.
The traffic toll in each of nine
months last year was greater than
the death toll in the Pearl Harbar
disaster.
Only six states recorded fewer
traffic deaths in 1941 than in 1910.
New Hampshire led with a IA per
cent drop. Three of the six states
were in the mountain region. The
six states were: New Hampshire.
1496 reduction; Colorado, 1870 re-
duction; Idaho, SO reduction; Del
aware. $50 reduction; North Da-
kota SO reduction. and Wyoming.
40 reduction.
The reductions in traffic fatali-
ties in these states are enviable by
other states, that is true, but the
increase i'm fatalities,
injuries, and property damage acci-
dents is certainly discouraging
when the United States is consid-
cred as a whole.

it is a war of every citizen of this
