Pre-YuIetide Dance
Wos Festival Of Fun

HOsteSses from Fort Huachuca,
Tucson, and WACs from Fort Hua-
chuca and Douglas Army Air Base
made the feminine touch complete
at the dance at the USO Club on
Saturday, December Is.
Long before the hosteSses arrived
the men gathered and anxiously
waited. Did the faces beam when
the group gathered.
Before the dance started, Miss
washington took the Tucson host
'esSeS. to the opening of the Nom
Commissioned Officers Club to dance
for a short time. This group was
reluctant to have them leave, but
as the dance was scheduled for $50
at the USO Club. and since all good
things must end, they had to depart.
4 Corporal Wells and members of
the Post Band furnished the music.
They were as usual at their best,
so one has no question as to the
gaiety of the occasion.

Judges to Pick
Sweetheart of
Each BottoIion

In the last issue of the Apache
Sentinel, under the Shield Re
Ports, there was printed an ar
ticle concerning the choosing of
battalion sweethearts for each
battalion in the 372nd Infantry
Regiment.
In each mans life there is one
woman who influences his life more
than any other She is the woman
that this man holds near and dear
to him, no matter where he may be.
What can be more fitting than
that one sweetheart, one pin-up
girl, be chosen to represent each
battalion, and finally, the entire
regiment? This is exactly what is
being done!
From foot-lockers, from hip-pock-
cts, from new and dilapidated con-
tainerS and billfolds, from photo
graph albums and the like, our men
are opening their hearts and mouths,
getting others to share in view only,
the inspiration that is theirs.
Pictures are streaming in of best
girls, wives, Sweethearts and sisters,
with each applicant confident that
he will have the honor and privilege
OF being the possessor of the pin-up
girl, the girl most like the girl the
men in each respective battalion
would like to come home to. Friday
will be the last day for submission
of photographs.
The job of the judges selected will
be difficult one and the contest
close; SO get your entries in right
away in order that your queen may
receive the consideration she merits.

AS Goal Is Neored

The regimental War Bond
thermometer has new pres
sure record every time we see
it. Only in this case, it isn't a
blood pressure; it ism t a bad
sign and it ism case Of being
overheated either. 1t looks good
to us, because it is indicative Of the
progress toward the goal of $4,000
which the regiment is attempting to
reach in the Sixth War Bond Drive.
Now that steam is really up among
the companies of the 372, little fear
Is expressed that the goal will be
reached before the end of December,
although it is up to every soldier in
the ranks to do his share to put the
drive over. We saw that the last
posted figures were $4,000; but it is
believed that the actual total is con-
siderably higher than that, with
tickets to the weekly $1,000 rattle
still being sold
The rattle is conducted every Sat
urday at the Lena Horne Theatre, in
the New Cantonment Area. Watch
your bulletin boards for the time Of
the next big opportunity to win 1000
per cent profit by getting your
chance to win 81 600 bond for ST 90.
Tickets for the rattle may be pur-
chased at regi1nental headquarters
building or at any battalion head
quarters or company orderly room
Other attractive bargains in bonds
are offered at $3.50 for $1,000 GI
bond, and $1875 for $500 bond,
which can be bought on a payroll
deduction plan.

 Although the 1o43 grand list is not expected to be fully compiled for another few weeks it has been estimated by city financial author ities, that with the expected in- crease in the grand list the city'S excess of bonding limit plus the re- tiring of over $l00,00O in these bonds during l944, the city may be in 8 position to issue additional bonds in the amount of close to one million dollars If contingent affairs made 1t Imperative.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-09

For what may be the first time in Waterbury's bond issuing history although not yet fully determined by local authorities, the city may be below the 6 per cent limitation of state statutes relative to the is- suance of city bonds.
 Figures compiled as of December 3l, l943 and based on the 1942 grand list reveal that Waterbury's excess of bonding limit as over the bond. ed indebtedness is equivalent to .13 per cent of the grand list, or $263,- 074.65.
 Based on the I942 grand list of $20S, ,771 ,493, the city's bonding limit that is, the amount In which they can issue bonds without recourse to legislative action, set by statute at 5 per cent equals $l0,438, ,57465. However, the city's present bonded indebtedness, as based on the com- piled figures, is in the amount of $l0, ,175,5 500. or 4.97 per cent of the the grand list thus leaving the ex- cess balance of $263, ,074.65.
 A summary of the citys bonded Indebtedness Is revealed as follows: of the general bonds issued (seriaO &8,343, 900 were outstanding as of January 1, l943 of which $510,50o was retired during the year leaving a balance outstanding as of De- cember 3l, 1943 of $7,832,500.

 Reliable informants said the three Soviet demands which Finland re- jected Monday were those for in ternment of 100000 German troops in Finland, withdrawal of Finnish troops within Finland's 194O bor- deFs and release to Russia of all Soviet and Allied prisoners Of war and civilians in advance of any arrl- tStice.
 Finland was said to have cotln- tered with a proposadl that these three points be left for negotiation after an arrnistice, just as Russia had agreed to leave the questions of reparations, disqualification of the Finnish army and possession of the Petsamo region for laser Aego- tiation.
 Informarlts said Finland feared to agree to turn over tens of thousands of Films of Russian descent to the SovietS because it would provoke a political storm. The Films were willing to release Russian war ptis- onerS, it was said, but wished re- ciprocity toward Finnis hwaT pris- onerS.

 The Russians reached to within seven miles northwest of ProSku- roy, next key junction on the Odes- sa-Warsaw line, with the capture Of Gruzhavitsa, 5o miles north of Ru- mania, in an ll-mile advance along the north bank of the upper Bug River. Capture of Proskurov would cut a single railway line that loops below the severed portion of the Odessa Warsaw line and is the last link north of Rumania between the southern and western Ukraine.
 The capture of Gruzhavitsa and Cherry Ostrov, four miles to the northwest. extended the Red arMy'S control of the Odessa Warsaw rail" way to 33-mile stretch between Proskurov and Tarnopol. Two Ger man regiments totaling perhaps 5000 men were routed at Cherry Ostrov and large numbers of guns, mortars and war supplies were cap tured.
 Zhukov's forces broke into the outskirts of Starokonstantinov, "A miles northeast of Proskurov. yes- terday after capturing towns two miles east, four northwest and seven southeast. Up to 5000 Germans were killed and 25 tanks and self propelled guns destroyed in what the Soviet high command called especially fierce fighting"
 The east wing of the First Uk- rainian army increased the threat to Zhmerinka, another junction of the Odesso- Warsaw trunk line, with the seizure of VoloSovitsy, Al miles to the north and IT miles north east of Proskurov.
 In ore sector, the Germans counted attacked with 100 tanks. but fell back to their initial posi- tioHis after losing 42 of them.
 Altogether, the First Ukrainian army captured 100 towns and vil- lages yesterday for five-day total of more than 1000.
