Committee Meeting
Pfc. Cecil F. Montgomery the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Montgomery was a member of
the Veteran doughlboys of the
142nd Infantry Regiment who
experienced some of their hard-
esttombat in more than 250 days
of battle recently ibroke thru
the Moder Line at Oberhoffen
captured Wissembourg and
slashed their way through strong
Siegfried Line defenses.
These 36th Division Infantry-
men among' the most battle-
weathered troops of the Gth Ar-
my Group in Germany fought
for three days against complete
ly manned Siegfried defenses
but smashed through to get in
on the kill of two German ar
mies in the Saar Basin. They
observed their second anniver-
:ary overseas by boosting their
total of Germans captured to
10000.
The men of the 142nd achiev
ed a spectacular record in Italy
and France where they storm
ed strongly defended beaches
waged difficult mountain war-
fare and effected raipid thrusts
deep into enemy territory.
iRugged fighting in Italy saw
them among the first American
to battle on European soil when
they waded ashore at Salerno.
They took the treacherous
heights of 'Mount Maggioro and
on Mt. Castollono beat off a
force of 1000 Germans with 400
men. They were the first unit
to pass through Rome.
From the beaches of Southern
France the-e doughfeet aped
north and smashed -back rem-
nants of the Germaff i9th Ar
my trying to break out at Mont-
elimar. First to pass through-
Lyons they captured Remire

Memorial Day
Exercises
Charity Farrell Scout Execu-
tive of Williamson County will
meet with the Troop on Friday
May 18th 8 :15 P. M. All Scout-
ers registered under Troop iNo.
174 are requested to bo present
without fail. It is necessary
that every Scouter be present
so that the work in connection
with the Troop can bo assigned
and thus make it easy on all.
There are too few people in the
Scout iw'ork at this time. Un-
less better co-operation can be
had from both Scouters and ipar-
ents the Soout work in Bartlett
can fail. If it fails this time
it will probably not be revived
for a long time. If the com-
munity wants Scouting we are
speaking of the 12 years and up
group of boys it will have to
show its interest and be willing
to work with the program.
