LACK OF RESPECT Last Sunday a well known local woman noticed a group of girls throwing rocks and mud at the Honor Roll erected on the ccuit house lawn She informs us that the youngsters ranged in age from about ten to fifteen or
sixteen years.
The girls not only threw rocks and mud at this tribute to Fhitnam county's men and women serv.ng in the armed forces in World War II, but according to our informant, also kicked the iramework on which the names
are printed.
The longer this Greencastle lady watched, the angier she became at the lack of respect shown by these children. She started to get in touch with thr police but by this time the girls left the courthouse lawn This action on the °- these yo.ngsters borders on vandslisni and of course would not be tolerated by the authorities. It also displays a iaric of patriotism on the par: of the children, who probably if they stopped to really think about the matter, would rot and will not j do such a thing agn n

Russians Link 45-Mile Front LONDON, April 18.—(UP) — Nazi broadcasts said today that the Russians have linked thew Oder river bridgeheads along a solid 45-mile front east of Berlin and have all but isolatw Frankfurt, the capital’s mam
outer defense bastion.
Other Soviet forces 60 miles southeast of Beilin, the Germans said, stormed nine miles beyond the Neisse river to the Niesky area, 45 miles northeast of Dresden and 65 miles from a juncUon with the American Third Army. The Germans apparently had stemmed the deepest Soviet penetration of their Berlin defenses at Eberswalde, 17 miles northcast of the cap tal, but they admitted at least three other breaches in the‘r last-ditch line
before the capital.
Nazi accounts indicated that
upwards of 2,000.000
troops were attacking in key
sectors along a 180-mile front , , , „ * . . - elans’ “overwhelming pressure,’ from the Baltic port of Stettin •- a »

North of the main front, two I Russian armies crossed to the west bank of the Oder in the Zehden area, 31 miles northeast of Berlin, and still other forces were trying to cross just south
of Stettin. Berlin said.
On Berlin’s southern flank, the Nazis said. Marshal Ivan S. Kbnev’s First Ukrainian Amy forced the Neisse river on a 15niile front between Forst and Muskau, then drove on another

NOTICE According to O. P. A. schdules our price on ‘B’ grade T-Bone steaks war two cents (.02c) per pound higher than the ceiling as of March 16th, 1945. Since we have no desiis to sell merchandise at other than legal ceiling prices we will refund on request to any person, who made purchase of the product, the full differential.
An Explanation - Not An Apology THERE JUST IS not ENOUGH TO GO AROUND of the SCARCE items and no matter how hard we try to divide our small supply we are bound to give some more than others. This is not intentional, but factors over which we have no contra),
make this possible.
There is no FAIR way to divide twelve pounds of bacon, four cartons of cigarettes, twenty-four boxes of jello and all the other hard to get
items among some two hundred customers.
All of this makes a ht of extra work for us and extra expense at no
extra profit.
We will appreciate and welcome cr.y criticism or suggestions that
might help.
