Priest Tells
Origin of
Church Sites

A resident f Mount Glenn
ems have you ever wondered
why four churches are located
within less than 200 yards Of
each other on New street?
The answer to that question
is contained in an historical
booklet prepared by the Rev.
Father Albert Hutting, assistant
pastor of St. Peters Catholic
Church, which will observe its
Tooth anniversary on the 21st
day Of this month.
In the year of 1889, Christian
Clemens, founder of this COM
munity, was plotting out new
section of the village that later
was to become the Bath City
of America"
DONATES SQUARE
To encourage the sale of lots
in this particular section, Glenn
ems donated a square of land to
each religious denomination and
specified that the property be
used for religious purposes.
These lots were all in close prox-
unity TO one another, hence the
reason for the four churches
found on New street today.
Besides st. Peters, other
churches on New street are Zion
Evangelical, Gilbert Memorial
Baptist and the First Presbyter-
ian.

the village had rapidly increas-

Italian Drive
Temporarily
Begged Down
Greet Bomber
FlotiIlos Soar
Over BoIkons
BY RICHARD McMURRAY
Associated Press War Editor

Allied planes bombed German
island barriers guarding the Bal
kans and ranged north of Rome
TO attack communications as
mud and rain begged down the
Italian campaign today or land.
The American Fifth Army,
strung along the Volturno and
Galore rivers within 100 miles
of Rome, and the British Eighth
Army on the Adriatic coast
north of Termoli, confined their
activities to artillery and pat
rol actions, allied headquarters
in Algiers said.
Bombers scared out TO sea to
attack the Greek islands of Cor
fu and Crete and the Italian
Dodecanese islands of Rhodes
and Cos off Turh ~ at the emit
rance of the Aegean Sea. Air
fields were targets on all the
islands which the Germans call
their iron ring around the Bal
kans. Good results were re-
ported.
RANGE INLAND
Ranging far behind the bat
tlelines. ter-bombers shot up
trains and motor columns north
of Rome; near Casino. As miles
northwest of Maple Frssinone,
IS miles northwest of Casino:
and Mondragone, 25 miles south
Of Casino. Guns near the front
were attacked.
Significantly, no Nszi plane
was encountered and no allied
craft was lost.
The whole German front
along the Volturno 20 miles
north OF Naples was threatened
by a wedge drive by the Fifth
Army in the center of the Ger
man left flank beyond Pantelan-
dolfo. The high-banked Voltur-
no river ordinarily would be no
major obstacle for modern ar
mics because IL is arely more
than 100 yards wide or four
feet deep. But the italian rainy
season had flooded the river,
holding Gen. Clark in check.

JACKETS EXPECTED
10 TROUBLE IRISH
Unorthodox Defense OF
Tech Shows Up Well In
Win Over Carolina

ATLANTA, Sept. 27.-R-1t's
screwy but its successful - and
Georgia Techs defense in depth
adds up to trouble for Notre Dame
and the "T' formation when they
meet at South Bend Saturday.
Facing an all-star team from
North Carolina last weekend, and
doped to lose by two touchdowns,
Tech surprised 10000 fans by hob
bling the Tarheel attack, capitai1Z-
ing on breaks, and winning a 2O-7
decision.
The Yellow Jackets defense, at
times orthodox but often weirdly
fluid, occasionally threw a four
man line against Carolina while
seven deployed in the defensive
secondary Tarheel passers found
it lethal. Of IL attempts, Carolina
completed four for just II yards.
Four theirs were intercepted by
Tech.
Carolina ball-carriers gained 210
yards in As tries, but except briefly
late in the third period, Georgia
Tech never found the situation
out-of-hand. When it counted most,
with Carolina on the 20. and driv-
ing for the tying touchdown, Tech
held and took the ball. Then Eddie
Prokop broke away, to race 80
yards for the clinching touchdown.
Captain and center, George
