Hungry Leningrad
Defed Huge Force
City Failed to Crack Under
Longest Siege of Var.

MOSCOW. - Leningrad, former
Czarist capital and the second larg-
est city of the Soviet Union, with a
normal population of 3, 900, 900, failed
to crack under the longest siege of
this war. Beleaguered between two
Nazi lines since August 81, 1941, the
defenders of Leningrad endured
such frightful conditions that Nazi
propagandists referred to it as "a
doomed city"
Last winter the only supply road
to the city was across the ice of
Lake Ladoga. The civilian defend
ers ran short of food, and malnutri-
ton took terrible toll, but the de-
lenses held. Bombs fell by day and
by night, and long-range artillery
guns hurled shells into the heart of
the city, but neither the Red army
lines nor the civilian population
cracked.
In one year of the siege, the Nazi
high command aligned So infantry
divisions, four motorized divisions
and four tank divisions against the
city, according to Pravda, the Com
munist party newspaper. The Ger
mans brought up 5000 big guns, 49,
600 machine-guns. $500 mortars,
1000 tanks and 1000 planes.
Workmen dropped their tools in
factories and took up rifles to aid
the Red army. Women and children
replaced the workers to keep the in
dustrial wheels turning. Leningrad's
shops continued to produce machine
tools and war material not only for
the Leningrad area but for other re-
gions.
The Nazis' greatest act of van
dalism" in Russia, according to the
Moscow government, occurred in the
Leningrad area when the Germans
destroyed the Palace of Peterhof on
the GIIh of Finland

Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
Now that spring has really rolled
round once again, different forms
of outdoor recreation and new in
door sports hold the spotlight, such
as horseback riding, roller skating
and bowling. Since so many of
the boys in the age bracket of
eighteen years and over have gone
on to war, the younger, younger set
has taken over. The Silver Spurs,
a newly organized group of horse
back riders, gave quite "shindig"
last Tuesday night out at Eaton's
Dude Ranch. The group enjoyed a
well-rounded evening of horseback
riding, eating and dancing. RICH
ARD CARR is President of the
Silver Spurs, ELEANOR FREE

Class of Wheatley House is hold

]. P: Pm a soldier. My trou-
BILE is that I don't know how to
make conversation with a girl. 1t
seems just as soon as meet a girl
I just don't know what to say. l
just act like a deaf and dumb per-
son. How shall I start off a con-
versation with a girl? How can l
break this habit?
Ans: Smile, Brother, Smile.
That's what the little gals like. If
you can't talk just stand there
and grin like "pOssum." Do this
and your problem will be how
to keep the little gals from crawl
ing all over you. Women are hu-
man, too, Lad, and a big, pleasing
smile makes a hit on all occasions.
C. M. l.: Mother has two daugh-
tiers, one granddaughter. She don't
act like Pm hers, never did. + work
and give her everything she wants
and she don't have thing to worry
about. I have supported her and
my niece for 9 years. Every time
1 ask my niece to do something,
she won't do it unless I pay her.
My health isn't good like it was.
Should I leave home like l plan?
Ans: Absolutely. It's time you
started working for yourself for a
change. You are old enough to have
a family of your own and you can
never hope to have one if you let
your family bulldOze you. They
have discouraged what few friends
you have had in the past and they
will continue to belittle you in the
eyes of any new friends you may
make. While you are making a

love, please give me some good
advice.
Ans: The boy don't like the idea
of you chasing him. He feels that
you are one of those kind of girls
who falls for anyone wearing
pants. That's no way to win a boys
love. Men like to think of their
women as shy and timid and hard
to get. Change your technique {.

and act uncOncerned when he's

F. S.: I am continually worry
ing about my property. 1 am away
behind on my taxes and had to

l am anxious for some good advice.
Ans: Too many people have made
the mistake of burdening them
selves with too much property.
When property gets to be a bur-
den and a handicap, it's time to
unload some of it. Why not sell
enough of your property to pay off
your taxes and get this worry off
your mind. It's better to CONSOLE
date ones holdings than to lose
everything.
E. A. M: + am a widow and live
in the same house where there is
a man who is married but he does
not live with his wife and love
him. What must I do?
Ans: You must move out. The
longer you remain in this house
and associate with this man, the
harder it will be for you to break
off relations. If he loves you, let
him prove it by getting his free
dom and offering you his name le-
gally. If he is serious, well and
good, but if he is pulling your leg"
now is the time to find it out.
G. W. W.: I'm very proud of my
home. Pm happy here in the midst
of my sisters, brothers, mother and
father. met a boy some time ago
and am just about to marry him
and 1 wonder if I can expect a sue
cessful marriage?
Ans: All of your life you have
lived in a peaceful atmosphere.
