Richland Hi School
$500 By February
$1,000

Yes, one thousand dollars.
That was the problem that faced
two boys and three girls, the stamp
and bond committee Of Richland
high school. How could five boys
and girls raise one thousand dol
lars by January Z, 1913? Here is
was already November Is, 1912.
That's an average of $23.73 a day
or at least one bond a day. It
was a problem truly enough but
we attacked it bravely.
But yet, it was small sacri-
flee to make for the country that
has given 100000 men, women
and children a home, a place to
worship the way they pleased, to
speak and write as they pleased,
for over $50 years. So, when this
freedom was threatened and we
saw the things we desired and
had loved and coveted for years
being taken from our grasp, we
never hesitatedl Our brothers,
sisters, dads and mothers joined
corps, the assembly lines of the
defense plants, and took in the
neighbor's children so their par
ents would be free to help in this
common fight for freedom. We,
the American people once more
came face to face with another

more try and put down the oppres-
sors for ever and ever, we are
hoping. This will not just be a

conflict is over.
1t was with this thought-that
only with the aid of the money
from the stamps and bonds can

jeeps, tanks, airplanes, ships, etc.
that can keep our boys, our brother
Americans, from losing this fight
for democracy-that the stamp ano
bond committee of Richland high
school decided that only until the
war would end in our favor would
we give up trying. With the co.
operation of the manual training
class we had a booth made, posters
were drawn and put up in the halls

stamps as prizes (the slogans thai

There Is cause for cheer over Allied
successes in the Southwest Pacific but
military observers warm it is much toe
early to plan almistice day celebrations
The situation is appreciably better than
it was little more than year ago when
weary troops were hanging on desper-
ately to defense line just north of Aus
tralia.
The Allies have made two stalwart ad-
vances since then, to Guadalcanal in the
Solomons and Buna and Coma on New
Guinea, and the recent move north to-
ward SalamauaLae on land and to
the New Georgia Islands by sea.
Rabaul is we'll within bomber reach
now of the northernmost Allied bases.
Truk, japanese naval and air base from
which most of the Southwest Pacific &C
tons were manned and supplied, may be
reached by pushing the line as far north
as Rabaul. But Toxic is far over the
horizon.
The purpose of this map is to illus
trate the enormous tasks accomplished
by Gen. Macarthur and Admiral Halsey
in, first, stopping the japanese short of
Australia and then moving them back.

with limited success. So much of ira
dition and history adhere to every cor
ner of this other Eden, this demi-
paradise" Economic realities are one
thing, but just as real is the love of
land and home.
This is one of the deepest traits in
British character They are rarely given
to patriotic speeches; the national pas
sion for understatement cloaks their
emotions. Nevertheless, it is there and
it is one of the reasons Britain promises
to come out of the war with an underly-
ing strength and security.
Another reason which also lies at the
root of character is the patience of
these people. Americans often find it
irritating, they regard their acceptance
of their lot as dumb passivity. But in
times of crisis it is a solid rock. They
accept sacrifice, they accept their fate.
Most Britishers have no eXtravagant
illusions as to what will come out of
the war. They expect, or, rather, hope
for, a fairer order both at home and in
the international field, but they know it
will not be the millennium. They know
very we'll how close their escape has
been from conquest and slavery and for
that escape they are grateful. 1t may
take hundred years to repair the raw
ages of this war-physical, spiritual.

however, can be overcome if reports from

The lower end of the new section has

The real squeeze on Orel, northern
anchor of the Orel-Belgorod front, be-
gan Tuesday when Russians moved for
ward in three directions to take many
additional villages and bring their bag OF
populated areas recovered to 100.
In desperation, the Nazis launched &c
counterattacks on Tuesday, each of
which was beaten off as the Russians
moved slowly forward.
Like wildflre, the fighting spread along
the front until 400 miles from Orel to
Voroshilovgrad were af1ame with heavy
action. Nowhere did the Russians yield
territory and in many sections the Red
armies moved forward. Especially i'm
portant was crossing of the Mus River
near Voroshilovgrad, where the Russians
quickly consolidated their gains.
Recapitulating the results, the Reds
claimed at this time to have killed IS 900
Germans and destroyed 1898 tanks and
3,342 planes in addition to capturing
many prisoners.
Germany, admitting the seriousness of
the fighting, described the battle on the
Russian front as the greatest war of at
triton in history with between 100000
and 100000 men locked in deadly COM
bat
AS the week ended, the Reds were re-
ported to have crossed another river
near Orel. posing an additional threat
to the defenders, while on the Leningrad
sector 10 Red divisions were said to have
swung into an offensive and the front
was active all the way down to the Sea
of Azov, where the Nazis cling to their
toe-hold across from Crimea.
