The forcing of the Wisloka set the stage for a drive on Krakow along both sides of the Vistula, which passes through the city. Konev’s troops on the northwest bank were 35 miles or less from Krs'kow. Front dispatches said the Germans have committed all available troops including engineer and road guard battalions .to the fight to protect the eastern border of East P.-ussia, Germany's easternmost home province. Some reserves joined the defense straight from the march. Gen. Ivan D. Chei naikovsky’s 3rd White Russian Army was being forced to blast the defenders fro.m frontier villages individually. Red air force bombers flew 2,500 sorties :n three days over the German lines, smashing enemy columns moving up to the fior t and knocking out strong points. •' 1 Thousands of German corpses and wrecked trucks and tanks litter the approaches to the frontier, dispatches said.' There still was no confirmation the Russians had crossed the border, though they were believed only a few miles away along a front of . 100

miles.

IN IMA N A FAK \ 1 BUS—“8A V E MILKWEED AND SAVE LIVES" “Save the Milkweed and Save a Life” is the appeal being made to every Indiana farmer by the War Food Administration. The lowiy milkweed has gone to war. Farmers who heretofore have taken pride in clean fence rows and weed-free fields, this year can take an extra pride in patches of milkweeds. Milkweeds may save the lives of the same farm boys who pulled this once pestiferous plant out of their fathers’ corn fields a year or two ago, advises O. C. Lee, Indiana state supervisor of the milkweed program and extension weed specialist at Puidue University. Tne floss in the milkweed seed pod—intended by nature to act as “sail” and “parachute" to spread the seeds far and wide is a hollow, air-filled tube with a waxy coating. In other words, it is a midget pontoon. Packed into life jackets and life belts, these milkweed pontoons will keep a man afloat as well as kapok. This latter material formerly was imported from Java for filling life jackets. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has been requested by the War Production Board to collect 1.500.000 pounds of milkweed floss this year to meet requirements of the armed forces. Since it takes three years to grow milkweed as a crop, this supply will have to came from wild

plants.

Youth groups throughout the state are helping in this program. It is up to the boys and girls of every county to harvest all milkweed in their neighborhoods so that not a single life will be lost for lack of | buoyant life jackets. This is their
