 The company arrived overseas in November, 1914, and during April, 1945 was largely responsible for the record handling of cargo at a Bel gian port.
 Members of the unit included Pfc. Marshall F. Ney of 59 Travers street, Waterbury, Conn.

Peace Declared
 On EUe Of Feast

Last night and this morning as people of all creeds crowded city churches giving thanks to Almighty God that the war is at last over, they were remind cd of a singular fact.
 On December 8, the day fol- lowing Pearl Harbor, the Unit ed States became, officially, by order of President Roosevelt, a part of World War III. This day, The Feast of the Im- macuIate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the patron feast of the United States, and Mary the Mother of God, the patroness of the United States.
 Yesterday, Aug. IA, the eve of the Feast of the Assump- tiOn, peace was declared.

Distingui31,ed Unit Citation to his battalion for its con- quest Uf Monticelli Ridge, dominate ing height on the Gothic Line in Italy.
 The outfit, 3rd Battalion of the S6Srd Infantry Regiment, 9lst Pow der River Division, by securing the high ground in a week of ferocious battle, made it possible for Fifth Army troops to negotiate the forti- fled defense line at Il Gioga Pass Thanking and occupying a small ] village at the base of Mount AL tuzzo, the battalion reduced num- Der of important outposts serving the Germans as a cushion against attack. After beating off several German counter attacks, one com pany of the 3rd Battalion fought its way to the crest of Mount Altuzzo, cutting through intense artillery, mortar and rifle fire and many barbed wire entanglements, crossing minefields and knocking out several pillboxes.
 The company on AltuzZo dug in on the reverse slope when the enemy delivered 8 heavy concentration of artillery and mortar fire along the crest.
 The other two companies of the 3rd Battalion, meantime, had fought a grudging battle with the defend- CTS of Monticello Ridge, in which neither side gave ground. Then or ders were given for the 3rd Battal- ion to take the ridge at all cost.
 Advancing and climbing grimly through concentrated enemy fire. one platoon attained the ridge, its strength reduced to Il men by the time the summit had been reached. Before the height could be recaptur- ed, the position was consolidated by force of 30 other members of the 3rd Battalion, who stormed the peak as soon as the first platoon had reached the objective.
 Intense artillery and mortar fire was brought to bear on the defend- CTS as they retreated down the far slope of Monticello Ridge.
 ''Monticelli, the dominating peak in this key defense point" the cita- tion states" had fallen before the courageous and determined men of the 3rd Battalion.
 Lieutenant Colonel Glen c. Long of Grimes, Oklahoma, commands the 3rd Battalion.

 Are they going to rest on their laurels? No. We think not
 Alaska went lover the top" in other War Loan Drives, but in this one, ''The Mighty 7th," Alaska is far below quota. in fact she is way down at the bottom of the list of States and Territories.
 Is Alaska going to rest on her laurels? No. We think not
 Right now we have to gather all our resources for the immediate task at hand, our share in the oll-out drive against the Japanese.
 So, come on, dig a little deeper into the old sock and save some soldiers life by assisting in bringing speedy and lasting peace. Laurels do not buy peace. They are only the mark of achievement.
 Get busy buy more War Bonds-and more War Bonds. It won't hurt you near ly as much as it does that soldier if you don't buy them. Win your laurels-the mark of real and lasting peace
