Damage To Decorations
The State College Commerce
Club, which is sponsoring a
Christmas street decorations
project, has requested the co
operation of all students in pre
serving the Christmas trees
and bulbs which will decorate
the street.
In former years some of the
trees were damaged and quite
a few bulbs broken by students
evidently filled with too much
holiday spirit.
It is hoped that this year there
will be no damage done to the
decorations which represent the
combined efforts of town mer
chants, the Ladies Auxiliary of
the American Legion, the Alpha
Fire Company, and the West
Penn Power Company.

Athens—Reports came through
from the Greek capitol last night
confirming the capture of tle city
Pogredetz from the Italians. The
communiques told of further
Greek advances into Albania as
the Grecian mountain forces drove
within 15 miles of Albridon in
northern Albania.
The Greeks bombed Portoeda
terrifically yesterday and the Ital
ians were reported to be in hasty
retreat on all fronts. As winter has
set in around the Greek mountains
and those in Albania, the Italians
are retreating over icy mule trails
and are being forced to abandon
their supplies.
Berlin—The war in Germany
was refreshed last night as RAF
bombers hurled destruction from
the air at two large German towns
in the midland. The towns, near
the Rhine river, were given a ter
rific bombing and several blast
furnaces were destroyed.
London would not confirm the
report that the huge bridge span
ning the Rhine river and by which
the Germans nre transporting most
of their supplies over, was de
molished. Toe RAF fliers contin
ued their flight of destruction as
they swept over northern France
and struck at Dunkirk. They lash
ed out at airdromes owned by the
Germans.
