A WHITE CHRISTMAS IN KRINKELTER
FITTING TRIBUTE to the men who fight on far-off fronts this Christmas is this striking photograph of Allied infantrymen moving
up over the snowy wastes of no-man's-land, James Thrasher's editorial expresses our deep appreciation for the selfless service of our fighting
men.
BY JAMES THRASHER,
NE.\ Staff Writer
They had plenty of snow for a white Christmas in Krinkelter —
snow that stung your face as the North Sea swept it across the
Belgian lowlands; snow that made walking slow and heavy; snow in
gray clouds that pinned air support to the ground and left things
pretty much up to the infantry; snow that made you a sitting -duck
target in your OD uniform; snow that melted and soaked and froze
if you fell in it.
DREGS OF GERMAN MANPOWER
While Germany apparently was massing its "crack" troops behind
the lines for the current counter -offensive, the Volkssturm — Ger-
man People's Army comprising old men and boys — was dispatched
to defend the Siegfried Line. But the above members didn't stay
in the fight for long — they were captured by Allied Army Forces.
82 ... AND STILL SWINGING
•
Connie Mack celebrates 62nd birthday in Los Angeles, where he is
enjoying one of his rare vacations. The only manager the Philadel-
phia Athletics ever had gives signs behind a catcher's mitt just as lie
did 60 years ago, an indication, no doubt, that will still run the
works at Shibe Park in 1946,
A white Christmas, and back home some luckier guys were
having a hot turkey dinner, and a cigar afterwards, and dry clothes
and a fire. But up here the Krauts had forgotten to take time off
for the holiday. They were hell-bent on going places and somebody
had to stop them, Christmas or no Christmas.
So they walked across the fields outside of Krinkelter on Christ-
mas, with guns slung over their shoulders and cold feet in their
boots,
And some of them thought., "Well, maybe next year."
JOYOUS JAILBREAK
Pushing joyously from jail in the Alsatian border town of Hague-
nau, where they had been imprisoned by the Naz:s for political of-
fenses, the French women above were some of 300 freed when the
Nazis left town as the Allies moved in. Many had been in jail two
years.

The nearer the Russians drive to Be.lin, the tougher they find the going because (1) the German supply

hours and as the soft vertical banks
made it impossible to bridge the
river no tanks or anti-tank guns
could be taken across the raging
stream to the support of the rifle
companies,
"As the right forward company
was consolidating its objective it
was suddenly counter -attacked by
a troop of three Mark Five Pan-
ther tanks supported by two self-
propelled guns and about thirty in-
fantry, The situation appeared al-
most hopeless.
Inspiring Leadership
"Under heavy fire from the ap-
proaching enemy tanks, Pte. Smith
showing great initiative and inspir-
ing leadership led his Piat group of
two men across an open field to a
position from which the Piat could
best be employed. Leaving one man
on the weapon, Pte. Smith crossed
the road with a companion and ob-
tained another Piat. • Almost im-
mediately an enemy tank cause
down the road firing its machine-
guns along the line of the ditches,
Ptc, Smith's comrade was wounded.
At a range of 30 feet aid having
to expose himself to the full view
of the enemy, Pte. Srttiith fired the
Putt and bit the tank, putting it
out of action. Ten German infantry
immediately jumped off the back
of the tank and charged him with
schmcisscrs and grenades. Without
hesitation Pte, Smith moved out
onto the road and at point blank
range with his tommy gun killed
four Germans and drove the re-
mainder back, Almost immediately
;mother tank opened fire and more
enemy infantry closed in on Smith's
postiou, Obtaining some aban-
doned tomumy gun magazines from
a ditch, he steadfastly held his posi-
lions protecting his comrade and
fighting the enemy with his tonuny
gun until they finally gave up and
withdrew in disorder.
"One tank and both self-propel-
led guns bad been destroyed by this
time but another tank swept the
area with fire from a longer range.
Pte, Smith still showing utter con-
tempt for emery fire helped his
wounded comrade to cover and ob-
tained medical aid for hint behind
a nearby building. 1 -Ie then return-
ed to his position beside the road to
await the possibility of a further
enemy attack,
Bridgehead Held
"No further Immediate attack de-
veloped and as a result the battal-
ion was able to consolidate tits
bridgehead postion so vital to the
-success of the whole operattoa
which led to the eventual capture
of an Lorgio Cosene and a further
advance to time Ronco river.
"Thus by dogged determination
outstanding devotion to duty and
superb gallantry of this private sol-
dier, his comrades were so inspired
that the bridgehead was held
against all enemy attacks pending
the arrival of tanks and anti-tank
guns some hours later.”

OTTAWA REPORTS
That Canadian Farmers Have
Achieved a Remarkable Record
of Food Production During
Five Years of War.
The farmers of Canada, says the
Canadian Federation of Agricul-
ture, finished the Season of 1044,
after five years of tear, conscious
that they had accomplished in those
five years the most rernarhable job
of food production on record. Pro-
duction figures presented to the
annual Dominion -provincial pro-
duction conference held In Ottawa
In December told the story of this
achievement.
In meats the 1944 production was
the greatest on record, more than
2ya billion lbs, Compared with
1930, farmers produced 10% more
total milk in 1044; 10% more but-
ter, 60% more cheese and 70%
more evaporated milk. Egg and
poultry figures were the highest on
record.
* * *
The, Federation, as the national
voice' of organized agriculture In
Canada, had a prominent role in
the conference. The president,- H.
H. Hannam, who with seven mem-
bers of the executive, sat at the
Dominion -provincial conference
table, emphasized the importance
of this type of planning In produc-
tion from year to year to bring far-
mers Into partnership in planning
the direction of necessary produc-
1lon adjustments In a constructive
way. The working out of a system
of floor prices was the next step,
Mr, Hannam said. He added that
' organized marketing would need
to be carried into the international
field,
$ * *
Of Canadian co-operative en-
terprises telephone services are the
most numerous with a total of 2,-
887, according to the latest data
compiled by the "Economic Anna-
list", published by the Dominion
Department of Agriculture, This
is for 194E-43, Credit unions are
next, numbering 1,780; dairy indu-
stry co-operatives number 440; food
products, 518; petroleum and auto
accessories, 500; feed, fertilizer,

Payment of war service gratui-
ties to discharged personnel will be
commenced soon after the first of

To Learn Farming
The Hard Way
When training of soldiers who
wish to farm, is begun in Canada,
one feature that should not be ne-
glected Is the care and manage-
ment of farm animals, says the
Hon. Duncan Marshall. If the man
to undergo such training has no
farm experience the only way to
give such a training is on a farm
where livestock Is a chief feature,
and the time should be taken to
do this. The idea that a man un-
acquainted with livestock can
learn by lectures Is too foolish to
be considered.

From Winter White
To Summer Brown
Contrary to popular belief, the
weasel and some other fur -bearing
animals do not change their coat
colors from summer brown to win-
ter white and back because of sea-
sonal temperature variations. The
change is determined by the length
of daylight to which the animals
are exposed. \Vith this knowledge,
biologists and animal breeders can
make an animal produce a summer
or winter coat color at any time of
the year, said Dr. L. 11, Clark of

The Minister stated that his deter-
mination to raise the grants to the 50
percent level was inspired by the prac-
tice which had been followed in Eng-
land of paying slightly more than 50
percent of the cost of education
through Government grants. ile in-
stanced also the still higher state sup-
port to schools given in Australia, Ncw
Zealand and South Africa, in a muni,
herr of countri,s of Europe, and in
many of the states of the United
States.
In Ontario in 1944 the legislative
grants to e'enienta•y schools make up
about 25 to 26 percent of the cost, It
may require, therefore, sonic twelve
to fifteen million dollars additional
money in 19.15 to fulfill the newly an-
nounced policy of •the Government.
Colonel Drew stated that the more
detailed announcement of the new
scheme for the apportionment of the
grants word(' go forward to the hoards
of 1rusie s on or about December 15th.
This will mean that all boards will be
in full knowledge of the grants to he

Joseph Is Warned
At the birth of Jesus in Bethle-
hem, \Vise men front the east carate
to worship the new King. Follow-
ing their departure an angel of the
Lord appeared in a dream to
Joseph, warning hint of Herod's
intentions to slay the child, and
directing him to take the babe with
Mary the mother down to Egypt
where they would be safe from the
hands of Herod.
In fleeing to Egypt with the
Christ child, Joseph was not only
Binding a place of safety, but was
fulfilling words of prophecy
spoken over seven hundred years
previously by the Prophet Hosea,
"Out of Egypt have I called my
Son", Before he could be called
out it was necessary for Him to
go into Egypt.
Lamentation and Weeping
Herod had commanded the Wise
men to bring him word once they
had found the new born King,
with the pretence that he, too;
would go and worship him, God
knew the intents of His heart, and
warned the Wise men not to
return to Herod but to travel
home another way, Upon realizing
that the Wise men had bypassed
him on their return home, Herod
was exceeding wroth. In his rage
he sought to slay the Christ Child,
and sent forth and slew all the
children in Bethlehem and vici-
nity of two years old and under.
It was a dreadful act and little
can we imagine the sorfow to the
mothers whose children were
slaughtered, Jeremiah had told of
this event many years before. "In
Rama was there a voice heard,
lamentation and weeping, and
great mourning, Rachel weeping
for her children, and would not be
comforted because they are not."
Jesus, The Nazarene
It was not God's will that His
son should be raised in Egypt, and
after the death of Herod, an angel
of the Lord appeared to Joseph
In a dream telling him to take the
child with its mother back to the
land of Israel. As directed Joseph
returned to his native land.with
Jesus and his mother, Mar,
When Joseph heard that Herod's
son Archelaus was reigning he
was fearful lest the new king seek
the young child's life. It does not
mention where Joseph had intended
living in Israel, but it may have
been near Bethlehem,, the former
home of Mary. However, because
of his fear of what Archelaus
might do, he turned aside from his
original plan and settled in Naz-
areth, Here, too, we can see the
hand of God, for it had been fore-
told "He shall be called a Naz-
arene", "And behold, I am with
thee, and keep thee in all places
whither thou goest".

CHAPTER III
They were in the house now, It
was softly lit; there was a buzz
of conversation, the alluring sound
of distant music, beautifully gown-
ed women, distinguished looking
men. Mark suddenly perceived the
girl who stood beside the stately,
white-haired hostess, 'There are
moments when the rush of, an
emotion makes a man change col-
or; Mark Grant—knowing how he
came there and why—went white
when he first saw Pamela Rod-
ney. The next moment Landon
was reluctantly presenting him to
Mrs. Lynn, Mark noticed that he
omitted the words, "my friend," he
said only: "Stewart Byram," the
name Teddy Banks had given hitt.
"One of the Utica Byrants, I
presume?" she said,
* * *
Mark bowed; he was only con-
scious of the presence next to her,
and that he hated the whole busi-
ness'
"I know one of your aunts, I
think," said the suave voice, and
Mark cursed Teddy Banks for
playing some trick on them. Then
he heard Mrs, Lynn again, "Path,
dear, let me present a friend of
Archie's, Stewart Byram, Mr. By -
ram, my niece, Miss Rodney."
Again Mark bowed.
Pant had just passed Archie
Landon on to a young girl in pink,
and site turned with a radiant
smile for the newcomer, \[ark

little conventional greeting; he
was listening to her voice; it seem-

his tongue easily to social inani-

say to her.
"I've been out of the gay world

her, "but Ital ,ant's Ass spoke
when the angel stood in the way,''
His bluntness caught her; she
laughed delightedly.
"I wonder where you've been?"
she said; then she caught the fire
that played in his eyes and flushed
prettily. "You look romantic; as
if you'd journeyed far—in strange
lands and done—" she laughed
again softly—"strange deeds!"
"You're right," said Mark, "I've
been to Nontansland and lived in
a castle there."

"I haven't danced in fifteen
years," he said its a low voice, "few

sit out one dance with me—just
one?"
"Not danced in fifteen years?"
she breathed her quick surprise; It
seemed immensely long to her.
"Why, I was only six years old,"
Then she blushed furiously;

his place beside her. Mark stared

"I've known yon all your life,"
Mark answered, •with a deep note
its his voice.
The aisles of the conservatory
were tropical; tall ferns and palms
waved their fronds about then,;
lights shone like stars in the high
arches overhead; a fountain played
amid the full blown blossoms of
the lotus, its heavy scent filling
the air with the opium of madness.
Music came to them softly, seduc-
tively, and Mark's hands closed on
hers and held then,.
* * *
Her warns, soft hands trembled
in his; he knew why her dark lash-
es swept her flushed young cheeks;
the tide had caught them both.
Madness leaped up In hint; in a
moment he would have kissed her,
he would have dared even that, for
he knew she was in a dream, car-
ried away; that, suddenly, his san-
ity cried out within hint:
"Thief; thief! You can't steal
her love—you're a convict, let her
go—you fool, you fool!"
lie heard the \'.ire and he let
her hands drop, Put he was sway -
Ing on his feet, sheer madness had
hint. After fifteen years of misery
he loved—loved at first sight!
"I'm mad," he sahl, "staff: diad"
—then he bent Innehly and crush-
ed her fingers against his lips—
"forgive me!"
She was not angry; he felt that
as he looked up at her, 1 -ler eyes
were clear and bright, her face had
softened, her lips curved; she
looked at hint a moment, silent,
and theft, softly:
"You've been unhappy—there's
a mystery about your life. I can
see iii" Suddenly she laid her soft
fingers lightly, a touch like thistle-
down, on his short crisp hair,
"Some time you'll tell rate, won't
you?"
* * *
Mark mastered himself. I•le dar-
ed not take her hand again then.
"Yes," he said bluntly, "I'11 tell you
some time and theft, perhaps,
you'll hate me 'for corning here to-
day I"
She did not in the least under-
stand; he had swept her off her
feet; there was something about
hint that fired her imagination; his
evidently huge strength, his heath-
enish disregard of the conventions,
the hint of unhappiness and proud
endurance in his face: all these
things captured her fancy. That
half hour in the conservatory, twi-
light and fragrant as its aisles, was
e. kind of dream, She was still in
a dream when someone came to
take her off for a dance. In a
dream she saw Mark, standing
there in the ballroom door, watch-
ing her. His eyes followed her
wherever she went, and there was
that flame of life in then,. The
girl, young and romantic, was car-
ried away with it; she had never
seen quite such a man, Among the
ballroom dancers he towered like
a giant,
* * *
"I wonder who he is?" she
thought, and could not keep her
eyes away from the corner where
he stood. She was angry with her-
self; she was caught like a girl of
sixteen! Caught by the mystery
about him,
"He'd be a wonderful lover!" she
thought, dancing with Archie Lan-
don, and she blushed softly,
Archie thought the blush was
for hint, but an instant later, whirl-
ing around in the dance, he saw
that they had been passing Mark
Grant. Landon set his teeth,
"I'll get hint ottt soon now!" he
thought,
But he reckoned without his
hostess. \V h e n another dance
claimed Pant, he found himself
near Mrs, Lynn.
Shc was gracious. "f want you
to stay to dinner, Archie. I've just
asked your friend, \Ir, Byraut, He's
so unusual. ?dr, Burleson thinks
hint interesting. You're a good boy
for bringing hint here,"
Landon reddened furiously. "I
don't believe he can stay to din-
ner," he said hastily; "I know he's
got an engagement—absolutely."
* * *
She looked frankly incredulous.
"\Vhy, Archie, he's just accepted!
I sent hint to tell Pant just now,
so site wouldn't invite another per-
son, We're twelve as it is,"
"Yost seat hint—" Landon pru-
dently choked down the words; he
was raging at the thought of Grant
again with Pant, "The fellow's
mad; he'll stake love tr. here" But
aloud: "1'11 speak to hint about it."
"I shan't let him off," Alrs. Lynn
replied coldly, "there's the tele-
phone—he can catwel his engage-
ment," :,ud site turned to speed a
parting gutest.
Landon, caught -in the throng
about her, could not at first dis-
engage himself. Then he saw Mart:
Grant leaning over Pant, his el-
bow' rested on the high mantel, his
fine head was bent. Landon could
not see itis face, bit' hers teas
flushed and intent; she was drink-
ing in \l ark's words, whatever they
were, with the wide intent eyes of
a child. Landon raged again.
"Curse hint!" he said to him-
self; "I'll have to get hint out or
break his neckl"

\1•ell, it's the day after Christmas
"and all through the house, not a
creature is stirring, not even a
mouse", Partner and John are out
at the barn; the honteconiers are
sleeping as only city folk know
how to sleep; \fitchie is content-
edly licking her paws in satis-
factory reminiscence of yesterday s
Christmas fare — and no doubt
hoping for more to conte. The tree
is still pretty with its tinsel and
gold but its base is conspicuously
bare, An array of cards adorns the
ntantelsltelf and here and there a
gift card or a piece of ribbon be-
trays an unswept floor.
Outside the sun is shining clear
and cold on what has been very
much "a white Christmas", We
didn't have to dream of one—it
was very much with us,
* * *
Did you have a good Christmas?
I sincerely hope so, But maybe it
was like ours — quiet but happy.
We missed our soldier son, spen-
ding his first Christmas away
from Canada, Our thoughts were
often with hint and we hoped he
managed to get leave so that he
Could at least spend the day witn
some of our numerous relations in
England.

Meeting this one and that be-
fore Christmas I thought so often
how different this Christmas and
New Year will be for so many.
There was the young English
wife with her baby — her first

returned airman -husband , . . an-
other, a Canadian bride, the first
Christmas in her married life —
and her husband already oversea?.
The family of a young soldier ----
so pitifully young — once repotted
missing but now known to be a
prisoner of war in Germany, The
happy mother with her sailor son
home on furlough from the Seven
Seas. And alas, the saddened
family to whom word has conte
for the second time — "We regret
to inform you , . ," There are, too,
families spending their first, sec-
ond or perhaps third Christmas,
with the (tope that the age for
k miracles is not yet past and that
from the "underground" will even-

And now it is time to say "A
Happy New \'car to yott all". And
I ant sure We all hope that 1045
will sec the turning of the tide —
a tide to bring victory and peace
to Allied ,rations and liberation to
the oppressed peoples of the would.
A happy new year—it is a wish
that the express so glibly, isn't it?
I wonder how often the wish is
followed by action. I mean, when
we wish someone a happy new
year is it just meaningless
phrase prompted by custom, or do
we intend to do our part towards
making this a happy year for the
people to twltont we speak, Per-
haps you will say—"'That's ridi-
culous—we can't take part in the
life of every person we meet," That
is true to a certain extent, on4 in-
fluence is limited by the closeness
of our contact, but if we I:110w a
person well enough to pass along
a new year's greeting then we
know them well enough to impart
a sincerity in our greeting that
they will be quick to recognise --
of sympathy, encouragcnent, or
.just cheery goodwill. 1 cannot
know which applies to each of you
who read this coluntut—I can only
repeat that I wish the best for
you—and only you can know What
that "best" should bk.,

bye and good wishes,
Children Of Burma
Keep Routes Open
flundred of Arkancsc children
armed with tin cans, kept the sup-
ply routes from blowing away as
the Allies prepared for the cur-
rent western Burnet offensive
against the Japanese.
The main supply road on the
Mayu Peninsula is deep in dint at
this time of the year, and with
winds sweeping across the 'Penin-
sula there was danger of the road
being blown away, The children,
however, sprinkled the route with
water laboriously hauled front the
paddy fields.
They made a gauze of it but the
Army gives tltent credit for keeping
the trucks rolling in the critical
pre -offensive period when supplies
had to be stored up forward,
