He announces that he doesn’t want to “sell bonds or pour pink tea,” but be a “regular soldier.” : And to show he meant it, he had the place of his enlistment kept secret to avert ballyhoo. Our congratulations to Clark Gable. We hope his success in the Army Is as great as his success on the screen. He's the kind of a fellow who will get a com- mission because he deserves one and he'll do it the hard way.-—Philadeiphia Record. La REDS ARE TOUGH FOE | With the war in the last month of its third year, one 18 inclined to over-emphasize a general disap- pointment over the fallure of 1942, thus far, to pro- vide a definite turn in the tide, upon analysis, op- timistic expectations were predicted solely upon hopes that were nourished by Russian victories In the Winter months Because the Red army withstood Hitler's terrible assault of 104! and launched a counter-attack in the Winter that recaptured 100,000 square miles of ters ritory, there arose an unexplainable confidence that the Soviet would decisively defeat Germany in 1042 The pattern of this hope is shown by the universal amazement that followed the escape of the Red army from total destruction last year Only two armies are fighting in Europe, The Nazis are able to exert full pressure upon Russia. The only chance available to the Soviet was the retreat. Ing-campalgn of last year, which is being pursued in the Caucasus this year.

Leahy, who served as Am- bassador to France and is now the President's Chief- of -Staff, warns America that the war picture today Is “grim.” and predicts that this “will be the tough- est, hardest, most merciless war we have ever fought.” From his post in the Pacific, Admiral Chester W Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the U. 8. Pacific Fleet, declares that victory will be achieved “only through undreamed of sacrifices and privations.” These leaders are not trying to fool the Ameri- can people. They want us to understand the serious battles that lie ahead and to summon the full power of every American, including those on the home front as well as those in the services, to the needs of the hour” A TRAITOR SENTENC ED TO HANG “This is no ordinary war . . . If the lives of many of our boys are to be taken to help such a cause, this Court should not hesitate to take the life of one traitor if it, in turn, will help that same just cause.” 80 spoke Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, of Detroit, in giving the death sentence to Max Stephan, German- born citizen who helped a German pilot get back to Germany after escaping from a Canadian prison camp. Stephan maintains confidence that Hitler will save him from execution, He boasts that his love for Germany is stronger than for his adopted country, The conviction of this German, upon a charge of treason, is said to be the first of its Kind in 148 years, Stephan has until November 13th to see if his hero, Hitler, can save him from banging, gave them all the milk they SPEAKING OF BONDS U. 8, Treasury Depty pe eee np et. | Orrice Can “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men" Education of a Modern Girl earned to love earned to hate warned a iid carry ¢ earned break ready graduate * oo 9 No Help Needed & 9 Good Demonstration (Item in Grand Rapids, Mich, Herald) H the f $20 tod reported lo her stncking et Pa CINE. an cleaner salesman PRICK ® 4 9» What Do You Know was helping ag y that plans “Yas'm.™ = 1 0a) It's The Lime Dust Visitor at a Bellefonte + fotel "This wall & most see through {it Hotel Manager “That's t window * oo 9 Needed Advice "1 notice the YOu Ie looking at.” 1" Aut Hand are all dying” nat Cireen Farm Farmer WwW Farm Hand baby chick have you been feeding them?” Feeding them?

Think what you're going to say so that calling back will be unnecessary. Think how you're going to say it so that your conversation will be brief. If you're on a party line, think of the others who may be waiting to use it. Thoughtful use of your telephone helps to give important war calls a clear track and full speed ahead.
