Other Soviet forces tightened the ai’ege arc around Riga, capital of Latvia, with the capture of Pabazi, 17 miles north northeast of Riga on the Gulf of Riga coast; Ihcukalns, 21 miles northeast, and Ropazi, 17 miles east. Orge, southern anchor of the Riga defensea, also was overrun after a street battle In which 900 men were killed. On the Balkan front, Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky’s 2nd Ukranlan army captured Mezo-Tur, 72 miles east southeast of Budapest, in an 11mile advance across the Koros and Berettyo rivers and a network of canals. More than 1.000 Germans were captured.

PROCLAMATION To The Citizens of Greencastle, Ind. By virtue of my office, I hereby proclaim, the week of October 8 to 14, 1944, National Business Women's Week, I urge the citizens of our town to cooperate with the Business and Professional Women’s Club of Greencastle in observing this week. “Are We Part-Time Citizens” ? is the challenging theme of the Week. It is a question that every citizen should ask himself. Dynamic citizenship requires work every working day of the year. A once-in-four-year-citiz-en is not much good to himself or anyone else, for he has failed to observe that cardinal principle of citizenship, “Be ye alert in exercising your civic duty every day in the year”. I How can a citizen be alert? The answer is plain, by knowing the men and women nominated for office, by watching the government charged with local, state and federal administration, by reading reports, attending public hearings of the board of education, finance committee, health board, etc. And by registering and voting of course. The Busines and Professional Women’s Club have undertaken the task of making our responsibilities clear to us. May public interest be their reward. W. S. BALLARD.

Discount Gloomy Forecasts

WASHINGTON How Rapidly Can Aufo j J November’s Elertlon h Industry Reconvert? & | & Vital to Henry Wolloc*

Special to Central Press

• WASHINGTON—Some WPB officials feel that the automobile Industry is not laying it on the line in its predictions that reconversion from war to peace may require from six to nine months. There is a suspicion among these officials that the ito maken are purposely making such gloomy forecasts in onlcr to presstirt

WPB into relaxing certain controls and enable till Industry to get going now on reconv >n. WPB experts point out that in 1942 the auto industry cried for gradual shifting to wpi production, asserting that abrupt termination of car making would mean long unemployment and idleness of facilities while the industry was being tooled for war

However, once the cut-off was announced the Industry converted to war production with a breath-taking burst of speed : ' its I* 1 ’ 1 *'' ties were in operation again before the unemployment problem be-

came serious.

WPB officials believe the same thing will happen on reconversion. One car maker is expected to be on the market with ew cars 8

three months. •
