World News Highlights
Russian Front
Gen. Vatutin’s army repulsed
mass German attacks west of
Kiev, where one epic tank bat
tle raged after another. Al
though the Russians wrecked
350 German tanks & cut down
more than 5,000 attacking in
fantrymen in 4 days, the Nazis
continued making ceaseless
efforts to break through to
Kiev. Persistent German at
taokS apparently failed to tie up
any considerable Russian force
nor to divert the Soviet high
command from making offen
sives elsewhere, for in the South
die Soviet army plunged 5 miles
inside the Dnieper river bend to
within 18 miles of the enemy’s
citadel at Kirovograd. The Red
Army captured ZnamenRa, hub
of the system of railroads link
ing the Dnieper bend with the
area south of Kiev. In a special
order of the day, Stalin an
nounced that the Soviet column
that smashed into the town was
one of several driving through
crumbling Nazi defenses in the
Dnieper sector. The loss of
Znamenka left the whole Ger
mao position west of Lower
Dnieper in dire threat The
weight of the offensive is now
directed against Kirovograd,
next enemy stronghold in the
path of Red Army forces threat
ening to outflank Krivoi Rog.
Pacific Front
After a 6-day assault, Aus
tralian forces pushed through
the jungles of northeastern New
Guinea to capture Wareo, strong
natural defense point on the
■%J.AJ,A**4.*.t.**4.4.****J-***.«.*
Huon peninsula. The success ac
celerated the campaign to drive
out the Japs entirely from the
peninsula, which is separated at
the closest point by 70 miles of
water from the Jap’s invasion
menaced New Britain island.
Pointing at the possibility of
such an invasion, Allied air
forces maintained a daily series
of attacks on New Britain
bases, concentrated on Cape
Gloucester, the closest strong
hold to New Guinea. Allied
headquarters reported a slack
ening of ground fighting a
round the Al!ied beachhead in
the Empress Augusta bay area
of Bougainville island.
Mediterranean Front
Fifth Army cracked German
defenses on both sides of Via Cas
ilina at Mignano in a bloody 9
day offensive brought to a climax
by the seizure of Mt. Samucro in
what the Allied headquarters
termed a “battle of clouds”. Gen.
Clark’s veteran Anglo-American
forces wiped out German moun
tain positions on both sidesof the
main road to Rome & stabbed at
secondary d( fenses in the direc
tion of Cassino. Canadian infan
try & tank units spearheaded the
Eighth Army along the Adriatic,
smashing forward 8 miles after
forcing a second crossing of Moro
rivei
Mrs.Edith Wright was admit

pital this week for a sprained
ank e She reveived the injury
Thursday night when she fell
over a timber lying on the ground

Church Fund
Far From Goal
About $5000 has been con
tributed locally to the Russian
Church rebuilding fund, it was
announced this week. This, to
gether with insurance money
expected, still will fall short of
the estimated sum needed by
about $20,000.
Contributions have been gen
erous, but it is felt that as no
canvassing has been done that
many more who plan to contri
bute have failed to do so
through procrastination.
To these latter a Christmas
appeal is made to make their
contributions now' so more de
finite preliminary plans can be
made for the new church. Con-j
tiributions may be given or
mailed to Mrs. Frieda Blinn,
secretary, building fund, Kodi
ak Alaska.
