Residents Asked
To Bundle Scrap
Paper For Scouts
Word has just been received
that dealers will no longer accept
1 waste paper that is not bundled,
E. L. Keith, chairman of the local
scrap drive, announced.
I "That means that th? Scouts
will have to bundle all paper be-
fore loading it in the car," Keith
explained.
| Tomorrow and Saturday county
Scout troops will canvass all re-
sidents ir. the vicinity in an at-
tempt to load another cor of scrap,
in connection with a national
drive.
j "It will aid the Scouts very
much.” Keith added, “if the re-
\ dei)s will bundle their own
paper.”

Eighth Army units wore mak-

fense ring around Florence.
Attacking north from San Mich-

historic art city. New Zealand
troops previously had been re-
ported within five miles of the
city's outskirts in that area.
West of Florence British and In-
dian troops crossed the Pisa River
on a two-mile bridgehead and ad-
vanced one mile, capturing the

threatening the entire west flank
of the German line south of the
Arno River in that area.
Headquarters received reports
from Italian civilians that the

n. Bradley’s armor opened a wedge 30 miles deep and 3,3
niles broad in the heart of Brittany today while Canadian
orces opened a new attack below Caen.
Frontline reports said Bradley’s armor had reached Rennes
md the out skirts of Dinan in Brittany after drives of 45 and
35 miles respectively from Avranches. These distances had
been covered in approximately two days since the American
onslaught turned the corner of the bay of St. Michel into
Brittany.
St. Malo, a highly important port across the bay from Av-
anches apparently was being bypassed.

Injured Local
Man Said To
Be Improving
L. R. Howe, Phillips employee,
already reportedly bleeding from
a previous injury, was rushed to
the North Plains hospital at 3 a.m.
today alter being involved in a
wreck at Adams and Hedgecoke.
He was reported improving.
Police say James Heinneman,
who lives on North Tenth in Bor-
ger. was driving Howe’s car, going
vied on Adams. He told police
he was rushing Howe, who was
bleeding profusely, to the hospital
w h n he came to the intersection
stop Sign at Adams and Hedge-
coke and, in his emergency, failed
to stop.
L. B. Stroud, driving a Panhan-
dle TraiHvay Co. eight passenger
car south on Hedgecoke, .
had no possible chance tb prevent
the collision, as Howe’s car loom-
ed before him without warning.
Stroud’s wife, Annie, and Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Terry and their three
children were passengers in
Stroud's car, but none were in-
jured.
The exact nature of Hov e’s in-
jury previous to the accident was
not established, but police said it
was known that Heinneman was
speeding the bleeding man to the
hospital. No charges, either by
Stroud rr the city, will be made,
according to police.
Stroud said the estimated dam-
age to the Panhandle Trailway
car was $150, and expressed the
opinion the damage to Howe’s car
had been much greater.
"It we-; lucky that my car hit
Howe's, instead of the other way
around,’ Stroud reported. “If he
had hit us at his speed, some of
us would have been killed. If I
had been going just five miles
taster, t probably v i uld have
made the inlersection first.”
