THOSE THREATENING
REF0RMERS

Self-made reformers who run
around shouting that the country
will neve again accept the unplea-
santries of unemployment. made
quate wages, and substandard liv-
ing conditions. as if the mere fact
of refusal will settle the matter,
should fool no one. The laws of
nature cannot he swept away by
simple defiance
Many industries are tackling the
problem of how to attain greater
productivity and more real Jobs in
the surest way they know, through
scientific research and expanded
markets. During the past year, ba-
sic industries such as mining, oil.
power and transportation have
worked harder than ever before in
preparing to bring their products
to more people, in new forms as
well as old. Coal has worked as
hard as any industry in this direc-
tion. Coal is used in medicines,
clothing, fertilizers, insecticides.
roofing, and countless other mate
rials, to say nothing of its primary
function in steelmaking, heating
and powering homes and factories.
Through organizations like the
Bituminous Coal Institute it has
carried on research seeking maxi
mum efficiency in coal burning
heaters. 1t has even developed
"clean" coal as a further entice-
ment to consumers.
Partly as a result of these eff
forts, the coal industry expects to
have steady jobs for over five
hundred-thousand men when peace
returns. Scores of other industries
are proceeding along similar lines.
Instead of defying nature to do its
worst, they hope to conform to it's
dictates and still reach desired oh
jectives-through hard work and
greater production. The threaten
ing reformers will not make their
task any easier.

4 Word Photo OF Our SaViOur'S

4 Word Photo OF Our Saviour
Face
BY T. A. Hall. Milford. Del.
Take this from me,
Without Gods Grace,
You'll never see
The SaviOur's face.
For you can't see
The SaviOur's face.
Ohis too. from mel
Through eyes of the flesh.
Only when Gods Grace.
Is in the Heart,
{ an we win lifes race.
From where We start.
That start for you.
Is from where you are.
All the way through
To the Judgment Bar.
And if you fail,
To find his Grace.
You'll weep and wall.
At the end of the race.
So seek his Grace,
While il doth abound.
For at the end of the race.
II can't he found.
But if today,
You seek his Grace.
He'll not turn away
From you, his face.
So do this now,
Look yourself in the face.
Ask yourself how
Can you find his Grace.
| will answer for you.
If you don't mind.
And tell you what to do,
His Grace to find.
John; three: sixteen.
Is as good a place.
AS I've evew seen,
That tells of his Grace.
John; five: twenty-four.
Is about the same kind.
But there's some more,
I'll help you to find.
John; three: thirty-nine,
Is good one too.
And it's right in line
With what I'm showing you.
Romans; ten: nine and ten,
Is wonderful place,
IL you do that; then
You'll get a Heart full of Grace.
My times limited now,
For anymore space,
But I've showed you how
To find his Grace.
If you lay this aside,
And refuse his Grace,
Someday you'll hide
From him, your face.

Moving slowly forward, almost foot
by foot, the American 5th Army is grad
ually moving in on Casino which still
bars the path to Rome. American units
moved forward two miles on Monday
northeast of the town while British units
crossed the Peccia River to the south
west as the Nazis resisted stubbornly.
Capture of the 3,500-foot peak of
Catena Vecchio which commands the
road to Casino was effected by the
Americans. The British 9th Army on
the Adriatic end of the line, meanwhile,
was snoWbound.
The Nazi radio on Tuesday announced
that the American 5th Army had opened
drive for Rome and this drive GER
tainly was facilitated by the capture
OF Cervaro as pincers movement
around Casino was started French
troops entering into the pincers Thurs
day moved forward three quarters of a
mile to capture 3,000-foot peak which
also commands an approach to the city.
Romes air fields were badly battered
on Thursday.
Capture of Casino, only 70 miles from
Rome, is expected shortly which will
pave the way for smashing through the
GustaVe line, as the NaZis call their
present defense system.

felt the weight of growing Allied air
might in the Pacific in a week which
saw no major actions but which brought
to the Japs number of annoying jabs
from many directions which served to
keep them off balance and apprehensive.
The record reads about as follows:
Monday-Cape st. George on New Ire

and Mill in the Marshalls.
Tuesday-Madang Kendari on celebes

in the Marshalls; Formosa and Bangkok.
Friday-Alexishafen, Madang, Bogad-
Jim, Cape st. George, Kavieng; Rabaul,
Barneo and Maleope in the Marshalls
In the ground fighting, American
troops held off determined Japanese
drive to recapture Arawe on New
Britain Island and expanded their foot
hold in the Cape Gloucester area of that
same island.
On New Guinea the Aussies by the
use of tanks have practically eliminated
the remaining Japs on Huon Peninsula
and some progress was made westward
on the north coast of Guinea, pathway
to Borneo and other Jap-held islands
to the west.
Preparing for new trouble for the
enemy, the Navy last week asked for
quick construction of $4,000 more in
vasion barges. This is probably espe-
cially bad new for Hirohito.

A Swedish newspaper, reporting on
conditions in Bulgaria, forecast an at
tack on Turkey, which, so stated the
paper, can hardly remain out of the
war during the rest of the winter. The
paper added that there could be no
doubt but that Bulgaria is preparing
for war.
This report on Monday conceded with
the arrival of large force of Flying
Fortresses which brough war unpleas-
antly to Sofia, Bulgarian capital and
fatally to the Japanese and Hungarian
ministers to Bulgaria who were killed.
The Fortresses, the first to raid Bull
garia, came in about noon, closely
packed and flying low. Prime military
objective was the railroad marshaling
yards through which pass all German
supplies to their troops in Greece, Ru-
mania and Yugoslavia The raid fol-
lowed one the day before on the port
and naval base at Pola and in turn was
followed by a heavy assault Monday
night by huge Wellington bombers of
the RAF which attacked from bases in
Italy for the first time.
Various airfields in the Athens area
of Greece also were bombed during the
week as the German occupational forces
carried on extensive maneuvers seeking
to perfect the defenses in Greece.
In Yugoslavia there was considerable
fighting but nothing of decisive ma
ture. The accompanying map and text

The story of Yugoslavia today is the
story of 1000 miles of railroad and 400
miles of island-locked coastline facing
Italy, 100 to $50 miles across the Adri-
attic Sea.
The railroad enters Northwest Yugo-
slavia from Italy and Austria, runs east
to Zagreb and Belgrade, then turns
south through the long Morava and
Vardar River valleys and into Greece.
Another line, out of Budapest, Hungary,
connects at Belgrade from the north.
The railroads supply German forces
in Greece, Bulgaria and the AEGEAN area.
Greece, Bulgaria and the Adriatic coast
might be the path for an Allied inva-
sion that would flank Nazi armies in
Italy or retreating out of Russia.
The Germans must hold this Zagreb-
Belgrade -Skoplje line and the Adriatic
coast at all costs.
So far they have succeeded fairly well.
But they have tied up some 20 Nazi and
satellite division-perhaps 100000 men.
Arrayed against them are the Par
tisan" forces of Marshal Josip Broz,
100000 men. Some are organized in
regular military units Others are in
small bands which strike at night and
vanish at dawn leaving a blasted bridge
or shot-up garrison behind. All of
them live for the one purpose of driving
Germans from the railroad and the
coast.
Tito recently claimed to have recov-
cred approximately two-thirds of Yugo-
slavia from the invaders Press dis
patches and Partisan and German COM
muniques, on which this map is based,
show this is substantially correct How
ever, the Partisans are still long way
from control of the main railroads. and
even in territory credited to Tito the
Germans are managing to operate
branch and feeder lines with reason
able regularity. The Partisans never
theless stage many a dynamite party on
these lines and apparently are able to
get to and across them as they please.
Tito's territory covers approximately
the big hook-shaped area on the map.
In some places his sway undoubtedly ex-
tends farther; in others his authority
is undoubtedly very sketchy.
Part1sanland starts in Southeast
Yugoslavia, where Titos men are re-
ported cooperating with Greek pa
triots. Then it sweeps north and west
in broad band through Montenegro
and Bosnia-Hercegovina, always to the
west and south of the main rail line
except where it cuts into Northwest
Yugoslavia. 1t bends back eastward
and eventually peters out above Bel
grade.
The Germans hold a sort of island"
around Sarajevo and have been trying
to cut Partisan territory in two by push
ing both ways from Sarajevo and also
toward that city from Belgrade and
their big base at Mostar. The heaviest
fighting recently has been in Eastern
Bosnia, where the Germans are re-
ported to have six divisions, and north
west Of Mostar, where they have four.
