HOME NURSING
 COURSE VITAL
Knowledge Aids in Main. taining Health of COm-
 munity; Need Students

To safeguard the health of the community during these wartime days when many doctors and nurses are engaged in military service, the local chapter of the American Red Cross is again making an urgent ap- peal to women and girls to join Home Nursing classes.
 Although the health of this city has been excellent during the past few years, officials of the Red Cross point out that if a member of a family has received instruction in the care of the sick when illness strikes much of the family doctors time and effort can be saved.
 Pointing to the influenza epidemic which took a toll of hundreds of lives in the months following the last war, Miss Alice Anderson, di- rector of home nursing, declared:
 "If we should run into another epidemic similar to that of 1919, we would be much better prepared than we were the last time if large number of people received expert in struction in the care of the sick"
 Although home nursing is essenti- ally a homemaker's course, students holding certificates give volunteer services when needed in emergen- cies. Those certificated may also as- sist in public health nursing agen- cies, in clinics, and in hospitals.
 Red Cross officials have been sat- isfied with the enrollments in Home Nursing classes which were insti- tuted here several years ago, but feel many more people should take ad- vantage of the classes which are held from 2:30 to 4:30 afternoons, and 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. at the Red Cross Chapter house, Grove street.
 The classes meet five days a week Monday through Friday and extend over "A hours.
 Registrations for shorter course, extending over a 12-hour period, are now open, and 1t is expected classes will meet within the next few weeks.

 British doctors believed the Ger mans stopped using mass cremation to dispose of the death because they wanted to save fuel. Instead they were believed to have dug the bur- ial pits, only to fall behind the death toll.
 We have to use bulldozers to bury some of the human remains as quickly as possible so as to pre-. vent any further spread of disease" a major said.
 As we went through the camp, we found dead persons every few yards. It was hard to tell, sometimes, who was alive and who was dead. Some died as you looked.

gan pounding the battered seaport at almost point blank range. Nazi U-boats trapped in the port were reported trading gunf1re with the British across the river.
 More than 30 miles to the west, the British Guards Armored Di- vision broke loose with 20-mile drive squarely through the German center, severing the last direct road and rail connections between Ham, burg and Bremen.
 The Tommies ripped through a rag-tag force of German Marines rushed down from the seacoast in a vain effort to check the advance ard captured Zeven, 9 miles north east of Bremen and only 35 miles southeast of the North Sea naval base of Bremerhaven.
 The surprise thrust sealed the fate of Bremen, which already was under direct attack by other British forces two miles south of the port and seven miles west in Delmen- horst. The last remaining enemy escape corridor lay downstream on the narrow Weser river, and the swift advance of the Guards Divi- sion threatened momentarily to bar even that route.
 Censored dispatches from the U. s. Ninth Army reported the defeat of g German armored task force that attempted to rip up the Amer ican rear areas between Brunswick and Magdeburg, but there was no new word on the fighting in the Barby bridgehead on the east bank of the Elbe southeast of Magdeburg.
 German alarm over the Ninth Army threat to Berlin was increas- ing, however, in spite of persistent

 Front reports said the troops were advancing without meeting serious opposition, although group of Japanese made small and futile counter attack on the southern col- umn north of Cotabato.
 On Luzon, units of the 33rd Divi- sion made slight gains in closing on Baguio, where three more members of the Japanese-controlle puppet government and a number of other prominent collaborationists were captured.
 The three puppet cabinet mem berS were Minister of Public Works Jose Paez, Home Officer Minister Teofilo Sison and Minister of EX- ternal Affairs Pedro Sabido.
 MacArthur said it was reported that Jose P. Laurel, president of the puppet regime, and several other active government members escaped to Formosa at night in Japanese plane.
 Baguio was the former summer capital of the Philippines before the war and during the occupation was the main Japanese headQuar- ters for the entire Archipelago.

rapidly were outflank'ng Berlin from the south i'll drive to link up with American forces and cut Europe in two.
 A German DNB dispatch said Soviet tank formations, wheeling more than 35 miles to the northwest after crossing the Spree river below Cottbus, had reached the Dahme area 36 miles almost due south of Berlin.
 German reserves were rushed into battle, the dispatch said, and threw back" the Soviets. At Dahme, the Russians probably were less tha'l 50 miles from junction with Amer ican First Army beyond Leipzig.
 Farther south, Soviet units across the Spree river deeply outflanked the Saxon industrial city of Goer- litz and were 19 miles from the pro- vincial capital of Dresden. These forces were 56 miles from the Amer ican Third Army at Chemnitz.
 Nazi broadcasts admitted that the Russians besieging Berlin nao smashed to within sevo'l miles Of the capital at two points 18 miles apart.
 One column driving down from the biz bend of the Oder reached the Werneuchen area, seven miles nortn- east of Berlin, while the other punched along the railway from frankfurt to Hangelsberg, seven miles east of the capital, the Ger mans said.
 The Soviet high commands com murioues still trailed far behind German front dispatches. Last mid- nights bulletin confirmed the cap- ture - first reported two days ago by the Germans - Of four Key towns in Berlin's outer defense sys- tenn.
 They were Bad Freienwalde, 23 miles northeast of Berlin: Wierzen. also g miles northeast of Berlin; Seelow, key to a series of strategic heights 26 miles east of Berlin, and Lebus, on the Oder river 34 miles east of Berlin and five miles north of Frankfurt.
 These advances alone gave the Russians a bridgehead across the Oder eight miles deep and 2o4 miles square. But Berlin reports that the Red Army was at Hangelsberg put the Soviets more than 27 miles beyond the Oder.
 Moscow dispatches said the ad- vancing Russians could see huge fires sweeping the rubble-heaped city that once was the fifth largest in the world.
 Hourly Devastation The devastation grew hourly as Soviet artillery and planes intensi- fled their attack. One Nazi broad- cast said the battle had reached the peak of fury. with guns blazing day and night and bombers drop- ping their deadly loads

 MT. Fitzgerald said that of the total number of placements of vet- erans made in this city approxi- mately 70 per cent of these were veterans from the present war. The state dirctor said that the veterans program was constantly being ex- banded so as to give the veterans every bit of help necessary in ad- justing them to civilian life upon their return from the Pacific and European war theaters.
 The report also shows that some 35 employers visited the office in this city for workers. Since January l, employer visits totaled 1908 in the state while 40,5l2 job place. ments were made by the different Connecticut offices. Of the number some 11,935 were women who took jobs in essential industry and war plants in Connecticut.

The legislative hearing before the Cities and BorOughs Commit tee on Monday of this week es- tablished a lot of records. One was certainly it's duration - it be- gan in the morning and lasted all afternoon. Another was the sight of two former mayors of opposing parties siding with the present chief executive, who some Re- publicans in Hartford think could well be ranked outside of any partisan affiliations, although he was elected both a State Sem ator and a mayor as Republican. On the question of creating a charter commission to make recommendations to the electorate at the next municipal election, followed by legislative approval in 1947, there was just . single dis seating voice, which allows Mayor MortenSen and ex-mayOrs Spell acy and Patterson to indulge in . little bragginS.
