FLORENCE.
i. S. 9. Notes
BY MISS MARY O'BRIEN,

director
Several people have asked us
this week just what is meant by
a change in operation of a USO
club. The answer is that United
Service Organizations, Inc. (USO)
is comprised of six agencies, any
one of which may operate a USO
club. In this instance, the Florence
USO, formerly operated by the
Army and Navy YMCA, now comes
under the direction of the Women =.
Division of the National Catholic
Community Service. Bnt whatever
the agency, it is all USO, with the
same objective-to conduct clubs
where the service man can enjoy
himself, can be accommodated and
relax and feel at home. While we
are on the subject of change of
administration, we might add in
the interests of Florence els who
sometimes visit the Coolidge USO.
that the Coolidge club, with the
aid Of volunteer workers, will con-
tinue to operate as an extension of
the Florence club The regular
Friday night dances will be fea-
tured there, while the popular
Wednesday and Saturday night
dances will continue at Florence.
The Three Musketeers, Sergeant
Redl, and Miss Martha White COM
bined their efforts and made
square dancing a lot of fun for
many at the club last Monday
night. Sergeant Redl (caller)
really slipped us some lively ones
but G1s and gals managed to stay
with it every time. Square dane
ing is featured every other Mon
day night with the Musketeers on
hand to provide the music.

Crippled Children
Society Campaign
Has Fine Response

Splendid response las been
shown in the request for funds
being made by the Arizona Society
for Crippled Children, according to
Mrs. Lynn Farley, county chair
man. She states that returns are
by no means complete, May being
the deadline date for making re-
port, but that many contributors
have already been TUNED in.
Six thousand, five hundred let
ters containing seals were sent
out, OF which 900 have been re-
turnei containing money for seals
Mrs. Early pointed out that
there seems to be some inclination
on the part of people to try and
sell the seals sent them. This is
not necessary, she states. Seals
sent out are to be purchased or
returned by the person receiving
them.

WITH UNITED STATES End IN
PANTRY DIVISION, Dec. 19.-Here
and elsewhere on front of 60 miles
the Germans are throwing what
looks like Sunday punch at Ameri-
can forces. Since Sunday I have
been watching the greatest Ger
man counterattacks since Normandy
against forward elements of this
veteran division forces This sudden
onslaught easily can be gagged by
the experience Of this veteran, hard
fighting division.
Standing outside the division COM
mand post, watched these veterans
being forced, blow by blow, to give
ground temporarily before enemy
armored columns. German armored
infantry succeeded in forcing its way
over hill less than three quarters
of mile from this command post
while column of German tanks
poured whitening machinegun and
artillery fire into the village streets
for hours.
The furious assault of the Ger
mans broke with little warming
like a summer thunderstorm sud-
denly building to hurricane force.
Coming early Sunday-true to
their tradition of Sunday attacks
the Germans hit with full strength
first in the air with v weapons and
bombing missions.
This news hit headquarters like a
punch in the nose, as this division
has been in the midst of a terrific
forward push and gained nearly 2
miles only the day before.
When We were awakened with the
news that the road out to the south
had been cut, Meyer Livin of the
Overseas News Agency and I were
inclined to scoff that the Germans
simply couldn't be there. But they
were by the time We dressed This
command post definitely was threat
ened by the racing German tanks
and armored infantry mile or so
to the south.
Our crossroads village already was
roaring with vehicles, racing to take
positions. Cooks, kitchen police and
headquarters clerks were jumping
from pots, pans and tyepwriters to
grab rifles, grenades and pistols.
Many OF these men hadn't fired a
weapon since hitting the Normandy
beach on D day plus one and they
scrambled madly to find weapons
and ammunition.
This job was too close for maps
and telephones. Standing outside
the command post, Maj. Gen. Wal

The Supreme Court yesterday up

criminately.
Saying I'VE uphold the exclusion
order as of the time it was made"
the court added:
: Compulsory exclusion of large
groups of citizens from their homes,
except under circumstances of di-

sistent with our basic governmental
institutions. But when under con-

shores are threatened by hostile
