Love Judged Blind

Are girls more clear eyed
than boys where love is con-
cerned? Here's a boys letter
which might lead one TO think
so
"Dear Miss Robinson:
Love is blind rs shown by
the hasty marriages and many
divorces today. Young people
fall in love Tor think they dO),
rush for a marriage license and
get spliced. Sooner or later di-
vorce proceedings set in, with
one or the other saying, Il don't
know what 1 saw in him Tor
hcr). We have nothing In com
mon The alarming divorce
rate in America shows almost
certainly that love causes tenn
porary blindness At least.
But love doesn't have to stay
that way. Young people should
stop taking those helter-skelter
chances and distinguish between
the old fashioned true love and
the present day blind love
They're two entirely different
things"

Soviets. To establish contact with our Allies from the Eastern Front, First Army patrols pushed east of the Nude to Torgau, where the long-awaited juncture with the Red Army occurred on 25 April
 In the north, the British Second Army advancing on the Osnabruck Bremen axis had crossed the Weser on a broad front near Minden early in April and was at the outskirts of Bremen by the middle of the month. From their Weser crossings the British struck northward to- ward Hamburg, reaching the Elbe southeast of the city. The Cana dians forced the Ijssel River and pressed on through the Dutch towns, liberating the remaining sections of eastern and northern | Holland.
 Far to the south, the Third ] Army, after capturing Muhlhau- sen, Gotha, and Er1urt, crossed the Saale River and turned south east toward the mountains of CZechoslovakia and the Danube Valley. This advance was decigned to establish firm contact with the Soviet forces in Austria and to prevent any effective reorganiza- tion of the enemy remnants in mountainous regions to the south. On the right, the Seventh Army encountered bitter resistance in Nurnberg, but quickly captured the fcity and then swung south into the Bavarian plain. On the first of May the Third Army was advanc- ing into Czechoslovakia on a hun dred mile front southeast of Asch; along the Danube other elements had driven 20 miles into Austria. The Seventh Army had taken Munich, birthplace of the Nazi party, and was sweeping southward toward the Inn River. Along the upper Rhine, the First French Army captured Karlsruhe and Stuttgart in turn and proceeded with the reduction of enemy forces caught in the Black Forest. By the first of May the French had clear ed the Swiss border west of Lake Constance and were driving into western Austria alongside the Seventh Army.
 Surrender
 In northern Germany, the Brit ish Second Army, reinforced by the XVIII American Corps under Maj. Gen. Matthew B. RidgWay, broke out from the Elbe River late in April and reached the Baltic on May. This action established contact with Soviet forces at Wis mar and cut off the Danish Penin- sula. Further resistance on this front was hopeless. On 5 May, the German commander surrendered all forces in northwest Germany, Holland and Denmark.
 Along the Danube, the Third Army continued the advance into Austria and entered Linz on 5 May. Next day Pilsen fell to our forces in Czechostovakia. General Patch's Seventh Army swept across the Inn on a wide front and drove 40 miles to capture Salzburg and

G. Loring Burwell directed the fifth annual presentation of Han del's '"The Messiah" by the Indus trial Chorus last night at the First Congregational church. It is esti- mated that over one thousand peo- pie attended and many were turned away who hoped to hear the favor ite oratorio.
 The chorus numbered ITO singers In the solo group Miss Margaret Mitchell, soprano soloist at the First Methodist church, we'll known local musician, substituted for Mrs. Frances Stockwell who had been scheduled but was unable to appear. Miss Ruth Avery Ray, contralto. handled her solos capably, as did Lloyd Linder of New York, tenor, and Dr. James R. Houghton, bari tone of Boston.
 The choral effects gave satisfac- tion and MT. Burwells direction was noteworthy in that an appreciable smoothness was noted for the most part. The orchestral section was directed by Mario DiCecco. Mrs. Helen Heebner was at the piano and Waldo s. Newberry was organ ist. Again the Industrial Chorus has achieved success in it's per- formance of the annual favorite, which has become 8 musical and civic enterprise.

HitIer's stronghold at Berchtesga- den. Other Seventh Army troops who had taken Innsbruck drove through the Brenner pass to estab- fish contact with the Fifth Army at Vipiteno. Since it's landing on the Riviera, the Seventh Army had advanced an average of more than miles day against what had been the most formidable army in the world. At noon on May, Army Group "G" comprising all German forces in Austria, surrendered un- conditionally to our Sixth Army Group, just II months after the landing in Normandy.
 The powerful Wehrmacht had Allied blows, and the swift advan- disintegrated under the combined ces into the mountains of Austria and Bohemia had prevented the es- tablishment of an inner fortress.

THE KNOCKOUT

The entrance of the Fifteenth Army, under command of It. Gen. L. T. Gerow, into the line of the 18th Army Group on 30 March gave more freedom of action to the First and Ninth armies, enabling them to increase the weight of the offensive into Germany. Ninth out of the area north of the Ruhr Army tanks immediately broke and swept eastward in a powerful thrust toward Munster. On 1 April the enveloping columns of these armies made contact west of Pad erborn, cutting off the Ruhr and 8 large area to the south, in the largest pocket envelopment in the history of warfare.
 Elements of 18 German divisions from the First Parachute, Fifth Panzer, and Fifteenth Armies were encircled in this skillful man. euver. Leaving strong forces to con- tain and reduce this giant encircle- ment, the First and Ninth Armies continued eastward toward the line of the Weser. Experimenting the Allied offensive, they headed for Leipzig and 8 pre-arranged june tion with the Soviet forces. There was no loss of momentum, no re- spite for the enemy forces, and by the end of the first week of April both armies had crossed the WeSer in the area north of KasSel.
 On April, General Eisenhower wrote me:
 "As you can see from the re- ports, our plans have been deVel- oping almost in exact accordance with original conceptions. You must expect, now, a period in which the lines on your map will not advance as rapidly as they did dur ing the past several weeks because we must pause to digest the big mouthful that we have swallowed in the Ruhr area. The enemy has been making efforts to break out of the area but our persistent policy of knocking out his communica- tions to the eastward, and his lack of mobility within the pocket, both make it very difficult for him to launch a really concerted attack I am confident that he can do nothing about it.
 The Ninth Army advance from the Weser to the Elbe was featured by armored gains of 20 to 30 miles day against little or no resist ance. By mid-April our troops were along the Elbe near Witten- berge and Magdelburg and had es- tablished bridgeheads across the river. In rear of the armored col umns, the cities of Hanover and Brunswick fell to Ninth Army in- fantry. Bypassing Leipzig and strong resistance in the HartZ For est, the First Army drove east ward to the Nude Valley south of Dessau.
 Ruhr Pocket Yields 100000
 While these extensive operations continued, the battle progressed against the trapped Germans in the Ruhr. With the Fifteenth Army holding the wet face of the pocket along the Rhine, and armor and infantry of the Ninth and First Armies driving in from the north, enemy forces were crushed in just IS days. More than 300,000 prison CTS were taken in this unique vic- tory. won far behind our forward positions and squarely astride our lines of communication.
 Soon Leipzig and the Hartz Mountains were in American hands, and the Ninth and First Armies closed on the line of the Elbe-M -Mulde, the forward limit, which had been arranged with the
