WITH THE SAITH INFANTRY
REGIMENT ON LUZON-Pfc. VII
liam w. Lave, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
August Lave, 723 Pine street, Wyan-
dotte, with some of his Jungle
hardened buddies, had quite time
for himself recently while on patrol
In enemy held territory. The vet
eran 34th, fighting In the XII Corps
sector, was storming the Bataan
Peninsula when Bill Lave ran into
q little excitement.
The patrol had infiltrated through
the enemy lines, and had been able
to piece together the Information it
sought only 70 find that the prob
lem of getting back with 1t pre-
sented an unexpected difficulty. The
Japs, shifting their positions, had
unconsciously cut off the patrols
escape route.
But that wasn't al, The Infantry
men know that friendly artillery
would soon be pounding the area.
As quietly as they could, the men
dispersed and found natural shelter.
When darkness fell they had more
to fear from Allied artillery than
from the Japs but neither loomed
as an inviting prospect. AS Pfc. Lave
states 1t, cit was one long night"
In the morning the patrol re-
grouped and began its return. Some
sniper fire was encountered. but By
using all their ingenuity and battle
lore. the men managed to evade any
serious conflict and made their way
back safely.

Flag Hang Side By Side

Spanked by a vast, carefully
planned program, American Red
Cross volunteers will knock on their
neighbors' doors. and ask their help
in putting the Red Cross War Fund

The Woodworking little woman
down the street, the tired business
man and the farmer whose nearest

seek the contributions which will not
be collected through factory, office,

Housewife, busy with the day-long
tasks in her home, will be asked to
pause a moment and give to the
Red Cross. II she has a blue-star

someone In the same block, or from
the nearest community.

Cross Fund will receive from their

lockout And there you have it,
the Soviet compulsory state.
GAS I see 1t, and I am old-fash-
toned, a planned society logically
ends by being an authoritarian
state. The government tells the
workers where and when they are
to work: the government fixes
wages. It's all nicely regulated.
why Is 1t that the countries
which had the greatest degree Of
state socialism are Russia, Germany
and Italy-all under state dictator
ships? Organized labor doesn't
exist In these countries. Freedom
doesn't either.
ION March Z. 1888, the Soviet
government issued q government de-
cree to restrain an employee from
leaving his employment. Four years
later, and still before the start Of
the second world war, the Soviets
provided for eviction Of workers
who voluntarily gave up their Jobs
and were dismissed for q breach Of
labor discipline. On June ~, 1910,
during the war crisis, the Presidium
Of the Supreme Soviet decreed that
workers and employees who. by
their own win, leave state, coopera-
tive ahdior pubic enterprises shall
be handed over 10 the courts and,
by sentence Of the peoples Judges,
condemned to imprisonment.' Yes.

DIVISION ON THE WESTERN
FRONT-German SIS Troops are
not always as smart SIS they are
cracked up to be, according TO
Technical Sergeant Francis M.
Mcintyre Of Company B. 51st
Armored Infantry Battalion.
Sgt. Mcintyre was given the
mission Of outposting a wooded
area In the vicinity Of Lutrebois,
Belgium, and was just leading
his men into the woods when he
noticed some brand new German
rifles lying in the snow. Closer
examination showed, In addition
to the rifles, a snow covered
American blanket next to a tree.
Sgt. Mcintyre cautiously raised
the blanket and found. huddled
beneath 1t, two ferries, both Of
them members of the once fam
Gus Adolph Hitler 1st IS Divi-
sion.
The ferries said they had been
there for five days and had not
eaten during that time. Mcintyre
pulled them to their feet as they
were to weak to rise, and there
beneath them were five boxes Of
American K Rations and a car
ton Of American cigarettes. The
ferries had been using the ra-
tons and cigarettes for a pillow.
Sgt. Mcintyre lives at sos Bid
die Ave, Wyandotte, Michigan.
In civil life he was a furnace
