Our comrades in arms. the gal
liant Russians, have, at long last,
broke the back of Nazi resistance.
After a series of veritable trip
hammer assaults they have sue
ceeded in driving through the heart
of enemy defenses guarding the all
important base of SmOlenSk: at
the same time they made a drive
into the North Ukraine. What
terribly bitter pill this must be for
the German war-lOrds who have
poured out the blood of their men
like water. on the frozen ground of
Russia; have made great gains of
territory. etc. only to see them
taken back by the SOviets in one
tenth of the time it took them and
their master race hOrdes to cap
ture them from the Russians. The
worst is yet to come. to the Ger
mans. The Russians. contrary to
some reports. are not going to
make a separate peace with the
Reich-they are going to continue
to fight until the last vestige of the
tyrant vanishes.

Two-thirds of the ten thousand

person might be unable to flee the
comparatively few feet necessary

Home fires frequently originate

Within ten minutes. as the fire

yEEP DRIVE GOAL IN SIGHT

The Troy schools leep drive mas
continued to progress, and only $500
is needed now to complete the pur-
chase of the third jeep, All of the
high school classes, several school
organizations, and the junior high
school have been cooperating to
raise the approximate sum of $4,000.
The goal, set at first at one Jeep,
went over the top, and was increased
twice to the present goal of three
jeeps. This is very commendabie
record for a school of the size OF
the Troy school. since several OF
the larger schools in the state have
made goals no higher than this one.
The work has been done by all of
the high school students. Certain
days have been set as stamp-pur-
chasing days. Students are in charge
of the sales, and class percentage
is made each day The band also
helped out in the work by giving
a public concert last week. for
which the purchase of ten-cent de-
Tense stamp was charged as admis-
sion. The students are justly proud
of their war-effort record, and are
continuing their work this week to
reach the amount needed for the
third jeep.
