The tough H^'hting continues on
all fronts in P’urope. The hard driv
ing .Americjin 7th and 3rd armies
lu.ve joined in the Saar area in a pin
cers mo\ enient. Their joint action has
cut off the 10,000 remaining troops
of the Rhine sector and all organiz-
> ed resistance has collapsed. The of
fensive, which was begun a week
ago, will eliminate, the Nazis on
■ the west bank of the Rhine when
the mopping up operations are com
pleted. The Americans have taken
the city of l.udwigshafen, an import
ant German chemical center.
The Reds are driving hard on the
, Western front in their_ attempt to
reach Berlin. Their efforts now, are
to take the important port of Danzig.
Danzig was a free city on ^ the
Baltic Sea at the tip of the Polish-
Corridor in 1939. At the present time
the Russians, are some thirtj'-odd
miles from Berlin.
In the Pacific, ^^hel Marines have
succeeded in raising the American
flag over Iwo Jima after twenty
eight days Of the bitterest and the
bloodiest fighting of this war. The
Marine casualties were appalling.
The number killed was 4,189. .>\d
miral Nimitz announced, however,
that the Japanese lost five men for
every American killed.
The Americans have invaded the
island of Panay in the Philippines
and are making rapid gains. The
capital city of Iloilo with all har
bors and docks intact, fell to the
dOugliboys of the 40th Infantry. Di
vision sixty hotirs after the invas
ion. Approximately seventy per cent
of the city had been destroyed by
fire.
Mandalay, a strategic city in Bur
ma on the Burma-Ijashio highway,
fell to the Britigh after a twelve day
seige. Mandalay had been occupied
almost three years by the Japanesje.
The air forces in Europe and the
Pacific have been supporting the
operations of the ground forces by
unusually heavy bombardment of
the enemy. On the home front, mean
while, the Senate is beginning an in
vestigation of the food shortage
I>revalent in the United States. There
is a general shortage of food which
may be due to a number of causes.

Robin Hood To Caper In May Dell
Dr. Mauze Emphasizes
Christ In Dailji Liwng
“Come On, Let‘s Go”
Dr. Cjeorge Mauze’, pastor of the
H'irst Presbyterian Church of Win
ston-Salem, who is conducting
a senes of talks at Salem
this week, spoke to the student body
in Assembly this past Tuesday. He
took as his theme, "Come On, Let’s
Oo.”
This phrase is a common one
whi( h has been glorified by the
wav, one which fuse.s people of all
classes. He likened it to the words
spok^en by Jesua to his disciples as
they left the last Supper, “Arise,
let us go hence.”
These two phrases are inseparably
bound. First, they are both calls to
leave one’s present position of rest
and safety and to go into darkness
and danger, carrying always the
idea of going forward. Also, each
of them carries with it the impli
cation of a leadership that discovers
the path, sets the pace, and shares
the dangers.
Dr. Mauze’ presented a challenge
to b(> “clean in body, chaste in mind,
and courageous in spirit,” and to be
true to God, accepting Christ with
out timidity, shame or indifference.
Theiie college students are privi
leged youths, he said, who are
allowed in times such as these to
sit in t^ie halls of learning, and it
will be for these to face the big
task ahead.

j
Music Hour yejjterday presented a
group of high school students who
are sudying music at Salem. Those
appearing in the recital were Juan
ita Smith, who sang “Laschia Chio
Piango” by Handel; Doris Lasley,
“Klves” by Holler; Jean Payne,
“My Country” by Haydn; Mary
•lane Johnson, “Verdi Prati” by

Tschaikovsky; Genevieve Gallen,
“Low Tide” by Williams; Betty
Pt'aff, “The Plague of Love” by

Dance” by Grieg. .
“What to Do With Christ”
“Today we are the judges of
Christ”, S!iid Dr. George' Mauze’,
minister of the First Presbyterian
Church in his talk on Christ in as
sembly Thursday “What shall we
d') with Jesus who is called the
hrlst/ He is on our hiinds.”
Dr. Mauze told the story of
Pontius Pilate who let sin creep into
his faith. Pontius Pilate held a
[K'tty post in the Roman Kmpire.
A judge of excellent birth and edu
cation, who wanted to shirk his
duty in the condemning of Jesus he
said, “Take him and judge him in
your own laws; .leave me alone.’!
Jesus was then sent to King Herod
but Herod was not to be caught in
the trap. Back .lesus went to Pontius
Pilate who said, “ What shall I do
with Jesus who is called the Chrisi t”
Finally Pontius Pilate made a cotn-
promise and then said, “1 find no
fault with him,” for he did not want
to crucify Jesus. But a Roman
friepd said “If thou let this man go,
thou an not the friend of t^'iesar.”
Jesus was crucified. I’ilate lost liis
soul, his self-respect, and his sense
of right. Pontius Pilate failed in a
pinch.
Christ is on our hands and a cofu;
promise is impossible when ilealin'g
With Him. For Jesus has said, “He
th:it is not with me, is against me.”
And you can not get Christ off
vour hands without a decision. The
“hound of heaven” will make our
lives a “living hell” until we have
done what we should—go to Calvary
and,God and find our faith.
Sin has defeated us many times
as it did with Pontius Pilate. There
fore we must search our hearts for
the truth to the question “What
shall 1 do with Jesus who is called
Christ’” i

Salem \vi!] skif) iiHt-k to the
(Michantiiif; days of AJerry Old
Eiirland for its annual May
i):.y celebralioti. This ycai-
beneath the ancient trees and
amotifi the periwinkle Robin
Hood and his lads in lincoln
'ree)i will roam.' The dale will
be none other than Sherwood
Foiest and over ai*ross the hill
lies Nottingham town.
Right merrily they dwell beneath
the shades of Sherwood Forest until
one day a fair minstrel, Allen A.
Dale,, comes to Robin for hplp.
Though Allen A. Dale is in love
with fair Ellen and though Ellen
loves Allen A. Dale it seems that
she, by her father’s choice, must
marry old Sir Stephen Trent—who
has more money than love.
Now Robin could never sW one
unhappy; so it’s off to Nottingham
town to rescue poor Ellen. And who
is there among us to outwit Robin?
None a’tall to be sure—least of all
Stejihen Trent! On May Day then'
you will see how Robin Hood and
Little John save poor Ellen and
how they bring her back to Sher
wood Forest for a far happier wed-
ding.
The merry _ rogues of Sherwood
have pranks and dancing to enter
tain all. Allen A. Dale will charm
you with a lilting voice and Old
English airs and folk tunes. Friar
Tuck will be there also in a right
Jolly mood, as well as many pretty
little .shepherdesses who will dance
for you. A wandering minstrel fiddles
for a small fee—a bit of pleading,
to be exact. So hear ye . . . hear
—^come one and all. Bring along
only gay laughter, and lot’s of merry
sunshine!
