night that proceeds from the sale
of scrap paper collected in their
second one-day campaign in the

Hanover county will be carried
out along lines with the December

pounds of scrap paper which was
sold for $345.74. This money was
turned over to the New Hanover
tuberculosis Association.
All paper collected will be tax
en- to the Wilmington Paper Stock
Co., and loaded into cars and
shipped to eastern paper plants,
where the shortage of scrap paper
| has been reported acute.
Jaycee leaders emphasized that
the manner of collecting scrap
paper has been sinoothed. Much
was learning during the course OF
the last campaign, they said. 1t
is hoped that the next collection
will show an increase over that
of the first drive.

 TWO MILES
American Troops Make Swift Advance Through
 Italian Mountains

ROME, April 6. = The American Fifth Army troops atta ok In g through the mountains near the Italian west coast, gained almost two miles in swift advance north of Azzana, Allied Headquarters said today.
 The official communique said the drive began yesterday and heavy fighting is continuing as the Ger mans met the onslaught with strong mortar fire near Porta.
 American elements, which thrust forward from Strettoia, were driven back by Nazi counterattacks.
 Initial official accounts failed to indicate whether the American Fifth Army attack was a major scale surprise advance that enabled the Americans to capture some im- portant terrain.
 On the opposite end of the Ital- ian front, the British Eighth Army troops swept enemy remnants off the narrow spit of land separ- ating the Valli di Comacchio lagoon from the Adriatic, and as far as the Valetta canal adjacent to Porto Garibaldi, seaport for Ferrara.

Coast Guard LST Haven
 To two lima Invaders
By MARTIN BURKE, Yi2c
 v. S. Coast Guard

ABOARD A COAST GUARD MANNED LST AT TWO - (SpeciaD The coffee ground black dirt of Two Island is on the decks of this LST tonight. It was tramped in by thousands of rain -drenched, un- shaven, dog tired U. s. Marines.
 Ever since the LST beached they have been moving along galley line, carrying trays of steak or hot spag- hetti and gravy, cornbread and paper cups of coffee.
 The battle for Two is only a few hundred yards away The ship lies in the brightness of star shells over head Beneath her bow come ex- plosive flashes from a Marine ar tillery position. A short time ago a man was hit there by sniper fire. Occasionally the rifles of sentries aboard ship crack. They are look ing for Jap swimmers.
 The Marines are still coming out of the blackness of Two. You hear comments like This is the first hot chow I've had since D-day," and Boy, what a meal"
 Give Up Bunks
 Coast Guardsmen are pulling dry clothes from their lockers. One man is wearing shirt jumper and trous- CTS; he has given everything else away. The entire small stores stock, woolen underwear, socks, shirts, dungarees, has been passed out. The Marines have left behind their soak ing-wet, battle-dirty clothing Some of the crew are washing and hang ing it to dry under blowers. You can get it when you come back aboard they say.
 Tired men are lying in hunks va cated by Coast Guardsmen. T fig ure I can do without the sleep" a gunner's mate said.
 The wounded are here, too. They lie under blankets in every available place, on mess tables in the crews quarters and in the wardroom, at- tended by the ships doctor, Passed Assistant Surgeon Vernon G. Guen- ther, U. s. Public Health Service, Campbellsport, Wis, and medical corpsmen.
 Sees Buddy Hit
 My buddy next to me was hit, ," one Marine relates. He said to me I think I'm hitl' He was. I said You're darned right you are He told me. Isn't this heck of way to make living Gee, that guy had courage"
 The quarters are crowded with the talk of battle. A while ago the ships radio was playing I'll Be Seeing You A Marine looked up, What is that? I'll be d--. Music" he exclaimed and took a drag off a dry cigarette.
 Below on the tank deck, sweating men are loading howitzer shells in- to the amtracks, which can make the grade in Iwo's loose, coarse black dirt. With each load go ration cans of hot coffee and sandwiches for the men at the guns.
