In loving memory of Mrs. Ruth II.
Bennett Deputy, who died February ..
1942:
Today brings sad memories
OF a loved one gone to rest:
She will always he remembered
BY the ones who loved her best.
Its lonesome here without you
And sad the weary way
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
She had smile for everyone
Her heart was true and tender
She worked hard for those she loved.
That is something TO remember.
Nothing but memories as we journey
on
Longing for a smile from loved one
gone
A bitter grief and shock severe
To part from one we loved so dear.
Sadly missed by Mother and Chill

in the climatic battle for

an American officer declared
the enemy forces "have ceas-

Rain, which fell in sheets across
the battlefield and sent the swarms
OF warplanes back to bases, was
the only hope of Field Marshal Gen
Guenther Won Kluge trying to ex

for the kill which will mean the
greatest victory for Allied arms ir

Even should the bulk of the So,
900 or more Germans believed still

Allied armies, they will be in ne
condition to stand and fight be

the Seventh army had lost mos,

hundreds of prisoners were stream

storming to within a mile of pivot

the Third American army is pound

in an attempt to close the trap.
American forces at the west enc
of the corridor drove forward two
to four miles, while British troops
pressing down from the north

Vassy, and were threatening

Squeezed on all sides, the Ger

night, and unofficial estimate!
were that $4,000 or more of the 100,
