on a iurw tract of land be-
tween Breckemiitge and Ran^r, a
Christian home f' r girls, and Spon-
sored by the Rev. Claude H. Har-
ris, former Stephens County resi-
dent.
Mr. Harris announces that the
material is on the ground, the
footings for the first building
have been run, and that other
buildings and improvements will
go forward just as fast as possible
—"the work is purely a work «rf
faith and anyon- desiring to have

ris stated.
Mr. Harris got the idea of a
Christian home for girls while ser-
ving as a chaplain in the armed
e. vic-s and stationed in Japan
uid Wi> visit to an orphanage in
that country, hence the story be-
hind this home began a number i>f
v -ai s ago. In the will of his fath^-
i. Sam L. Harris, and his wife,
living in Stephens County, they
emeinhered their preacher son,
Claude Harris, along with their six
ither children, with a proportion-
it. part of their life's savini's—
ind as a r--stilt H-HI acres of land
Ml into the hands of the preach-
er through the will.
Realizing that there we e homes
-.nd ranches for boys, and orphan
homes for children, but no place
n the state for girls that have no
horn - and need a home, the desire
o see one started—hence the plan
t" Mr. Harris and now the first
work ort the trills Christian Acad-
m v.
While mnknig the improvements
on the girts home, Mr. and Mrs.
Harris live at Morton Valley, five
ni' -s north of Eastland and eight
miles west of Ranger, and Mr.
Harris is pastor of the Harmony

Th«' Stephens County Commun-
ity Chest fund lacks $4,nno of b.--
ing up to the JIH.IMMI needed to
carry on the work of the ten mem-
bers of that organization, and
something is going to have to be
done, if the goal is to be reached.
Chairman Bernard Blair said to-
(fcie.
To this end a meeting has been
called for next Monday evening
at 7:.'{!► o'clock at the Y.M.C.A for
workers to take another hitch on
their trousers and go out after
the needed amount.
Mr. Blair said hope of raising
the lies in some territories
unworked and in call backs that
have not been made to prospective
contributors.
Work of the big gifts commit-
tee is D8 per cent complete, and
out-of-town companies solicited
have responded 85 per cent. This
leaves little margin there for rais-
ing any substantial amount.
It was stated that two blocks in
th" city have scarcely been touch-
ed bv workers. The amount that
may he secured there was not es-
timated.
People asked to contribute have
given about the same amount they
gave last year, which made the
problem appear to be one of reach-
ing more people. Any one who will
help in this situation, or who has
been contacted, is asked to mail a
check, or leave a contribution with
Mr. Blair at Firestones. Estvciallv
does this apply to the residential
district.
The campaign this year is spon-
sored bv the Rotary Club.

A battalion of Sim Chinese Com-
munist.-; tried to make 'a sneak it-
'ack . i South Korean soldiers de-
fending Sniper Ridge Thurvfciv
night, hut a thundering allied ar-
tillery barrage cut the Red forces
to nieces.,
The Chinese began their attack
lust after dark. However, the
South Koreans were waiting for
such i move -ind immediately rill-
ed in artillery support to break it
up.
During the dav, the Reds con-
tinued firing artillery at the South
Koreans atop Pinpoint Hill, the
dominant ridge on Sniper, but on a
lesser scale than in the past two
days. Late Thursday afternoon,
they fired UMW) rouniti of artillery
and mortar.
Sniper Battle Appears Ended
It appeared that the latest battle
for Sniper has ended in a victory
for the United Nations.
As a hill sett.Ust over the 155-
mile battlefront. a cold blanket of
snow and ice inched down the Ko-
rean peninsula toatuds the battle-
line. heralding the third winter of
the Korean war.
F'fth Air Force planes destroyed
l.ill buildings in attacks on North
Korea. including 7 l buildings
northeast >f Suan. Sabre jet-, pa-
trolling Mir! Alley spotted Com-
munist MKi-tS jets but did not
engage them.
Despite low storm clouds. Allied
fighter-bombers attacked a-nd burn-
ed a troop concentration deep in
northw st Kor"t. B-ii> Superfort-
resses also aimed bombs by radar
at a rail bridge at the North Ko-
rean capital of Pvongvang and a
supply area northeast of Kuni.

The last diehard Reds were root-
ed from the frosty slope* of Pin-
no-it, dominant height on Sniper
Ridge, at I a. m. 10 p. m. Wed-
nesday est. and Republic of Korea
soldier^ began consolidating their
positions.
Chang*-,* Hands 27
The battle marked the 27th time
Sniper has changed hnnds in a
month of bloody fighting on the
cf-ntral front north of Kumhwa.
The latest battle began Tuesday
night when 1,500 Chinese stormed
and captured the crest. The ROKs
counter-attacked Wednesday and
won back more territory than they
lost. The ROKs were- sut por*°d
by rounds of artillery shells,
one of the heaviest barruges ever
fired in the ridge fighting.
Although driven from Pinpoint,
the Reds still held a maze r,€ tun-
nels and caves on the Yoke on the
tower slopes of Sniper.
To the West, the Chinese held
fast to Triangle Hilt and to Jane
Russell Knob on the Triangle mass.
Officers at Eighth Army head-
(juarters and the front denied re-
ports that the ROKs had recaptur-
ed Triungie and Jane Russell.
The ROKs attacked Jane Russell
hill Wednesday night, but gave up
before reaching the crest.
