my patriotic duty to disabuse both my boss,

ROLLING FORWARD

General Eisenhower's drive in the west promises to attain
the momentum of General PattOns race through France of last
summer, which was never stopped by the Germans but was
the Independent-Record This time many armies are engaged
on a much wider front and it is assumed greater supply pre-
parations have been made.
Disintegration of the Nazi forces is proceeding apace as
town after town is taken by the advancing Americans. All
eyes now are on the Rhine. Can the Germans make a stand
or any previous war. At best, they have succeeded only in
slowing up a ful[fledged drive for a matter of days.
If the Germans do not succeed in making a stand on the
Rhine, their situation will be precarious. When Allied armies in
the west cross that stream, Germanys power to resist will
have been reduced greatly. The air force is performing heroic
ally and effectively in the great drive into the Reich. Planes
in great strength lead ground forces into the battles which
flare along the entire front.
General Patton's Third army, although the first to get
under way, did not meet the stiffest opposition. In other areas
NaM troops had to be blasted out of strong Notifications. The
Segfried line has been definitely preached, but there will be.
other Notifications, particularly at important cities. Whether.
these will be defended to the death by the beleaguered Nazi
or whether they will turn tail and run as they did in France,
remains to be seen.
Co-ordinated with the Russian drive in the east, Eisen-
hower's big push has put the Nazi armies in a precarious posi-
ton. No longer can they move forces from one front to an
other to meet emergencies. Thousands of guns are massed on
both fronts, thousands of planes are constantly in the air. 1t
is beyond all human conception to believe Hitler can long hold
out under conditions that confront him.

They supported the first special

have been played in each group.
In group A the Rangers held
down second place taking the Dive
Bombers by a score of 16 to II.
Leo Geager kept the loser in the

tractive. They gave the Torpedoes
a good game, but lost by a score of

In group B the Eagles defeated
the Wildcats by a close margin, 10

seven points, while Buddy Fritzler
was high for the winners with Is
points.
The Warriors trimmed the Loco

the United States have steadily declined. Now
they are lower than at any time during the war.
Sugar rations for commercial and home use have
been reduced for l945 and the use of sugar for
industrial alcohol has been discontinued. The
difference between the amount expected to be
brought in from offshore areas and national
needs must be made up from continental United
States production. This need was a major con-
sideration in the establishment Of the l945
sugar beet goal almost so per cent greater than
last years planted acreage. The 95l. 900 acre
sugar beet goal, with average yields and the
expected cane sugar production, would balance
supplies with our requirements. Sugar beet
producers are assured prices for 1945 as high
as prices guaranteed for the 1914 crop. We
will give every possible assistance in meeting
labor requirements and feel confident that
sufficient labor will be available to meet the
need. I hope that every farmer who has land
adapted to sugar beet production will give
serious consideration to planting the maximum
acreage Of sugar beets in 1915.

laundries. But don't worry. Insets Of

and built or repaired more than 200
bridges in the Italian campaign
and has served in combat for more
than $50 days, including action at
Kasserine pass, Tunisia, and Cas-
sino, Italy.
The engineers took up defensive
positions against a possible Japanese
invasion of California early in the
war when a Japanese submarine
shelled Santa Barbara.
While serving in support of a
range battalion in the Tunisian
campaign, the 18th engineers re-
moved more than $1,000 mines from
a single minefield at Sened.
The 10Th sailed overseas in Au-
gust 1912, served in Northern Ire
land, Scotland and England and
landed on Africa D day, Nov. 8,
1912, at Anew, Northern Algeria.
They went up to secure the left
flank of the LIST infantry division.
When the Algerian fight ended, part
of the 18th went to work unloading
supplies at the Anew port.
The regiment entered the Tunisian
