JElflRNGS Winter Is the season of'frost. yoaeow. — The Red army, [Tlwjlthened the s'ride of its De- '■•asaber offensive yesterday in idrtaally all sectors from far Mrth of Leningrad to the Black 8e», reclaiming hundreds of ^towBs and villages from German occupation. Plunging through the hole made In the German lines by the rout of six divisions from Kalin in, 95 miles northwest of the capital, the fast moving Red of fensive was said by the govern ment to have taken Vysokoe, 44 miles to the west. Other reports said another town fi»'e miles far ther On had been captured. Here, what was left of these six German divisions apparently was too disorganized to offer effective resistance, while in the Tula re gion, 100 miles south of the cap- iUl, some Germans were said (o be so dispirited that they were taking to their heels without put ting up a fight. (The British radio, heard by CBS', said the Germans had beei; driven back 90 miles in a week in the Orel sector 200 miles south of Moscow, and about $0 miles in the Tikhvin region to the southeast of Leningrad. (The German communique ad mitted German troops were re treating, hut said it was a part of a systematic shortening of the lines following abandonment of aggressive operations for station, ary winter warfare.) FYom north to south the situ ation was thus presented by var ious sources: Leningrad area: A swift Sovi et advance did not permit the Germans to pick up all their wounded. Some German groups were trapped and the Red army Is heavily engaged in mopping them up, Tass announced. An ambitious young man, on entering the army, worked well. At the end of three months he was made a corporal. The House yesterday complet ed congreeslonal action giving President Roosevelt broader powers than those wielded by President Wilson during World War No. 1, but rejected the Pres ident’s request to include man power under 21 years of age In the scope of the draft. In passing the draft revision bill, the house created a poten tial army of six million men be tween the ages of 21 and -1.5.

BY THE STUDENTS— I Mountain View School Reports 1 The Christ ma.s program of ' Mountain V'iew school will be given Thiiisday night. December 18. at 7:.10 o’clock. The pagean' will be based on the .story "Why the Chimes Rang,’' with special music furnished by the high school glee cluib and a choir, of fourteen hoys from the third and fourth grades. The charac'er of the little boy Pedro will he portrayed by Paul Kolbrook. He is the only person wlio causes the cliimes to ring in the gigantic cathedral and only through his kindness is he able to bring about this miracle. -■:\nother strong character part is that of the old woman. She has started to the Christmas ser vice but loses her way in the snow storm and knocks at the but where Pedro and his family live, Nannie Lee Stone. Pedro’s mother is Louise Wilw; his father, Wayne Elledge and his bro'her, Wade McNiel. The second scene of the play i.s laid in the cathedral. This scene opens with a great proces sional including nearly the entire cast. The processional is led by four candle bearens; Buddy Woodruff, Carl Cleary, Dolman Harrold. and Jack Harrold. They are followed by the priest. Bill Hayes: and 'he choir boys.. Joe Woody, L. n. Brooks, Don Brew er. Ralph Pel's. David Rosselle. Glenn Wiles, James Flmerson, Rex Adams, Richard Watt, Walton Brewer, Charles Higgins and Billy Baugess. Other people who came to the Christmas ser vice* are: The king, Carroll Dancy; ‘.he queen, Laurene Se baslian: lords and ladies. G. B. Gentry, Juno Harrold, Elgie Teague and Kate Ymince; peas ant men and women. Jackie • Jonnson, Pressley Jennings, John nie Mae Sebastian and Edith Bridges. After the processional the ser vice proceeds with the singing of Christmas carols and the reading ’ .of the Christmas story. Later each person places his gift on the al tar with the hope that it will be worthy enough to cause the chimes to ring. All the gifts are present but still there is no sound from the chimes in the great tower. In the meantime Pedro and the old woman have quietly entered the cathedral and Pedro timidly goes forward with hid small gift. As he places it on the altar the chimes ring and three angels appear at the aPar. They are Nancy Woodruff, Tony Haynes and Phyllis Sue Wood. The scene closes with the entire cast singing "The Holy City.” Soloist for the program will be Mrs. Lucille Hemphill of the school faculty. Fight Japs As United Americans Lindbergh Says Chicago, Dec. S. —Charles A. Lindbergh, isolationist spokes man, said today thaz we must meet war with Japan ‘‘.as united Americans.” He said: "We have been stepping clo.?er to war for many moiilh.s. Now P has come and we mast meet it as united Americans, regardless of our attitude in tin past toward 'he policy our government has followed. “Our own defensoa and our own military position have al ready been neglected too long. We must now turn every effort i to building the greatest and most efflcien* army, navy and air force In the world.” Hse the aavertJstaii columns ol^ this paper as your ahoppins ^id> sleet, and snow with frost in the lead In this section. Scientists tell us that frost Is determined by the prevallng winds and the de gree of latitude upon the globe; that there are two forms, granu lar and crystaline; that heavy formations usually appear three nights in duration, g’ving away to a change. Therefore, the hea vy frosts of the past few weeks remind us that the seasons have not changed p as many people would have us believe. -■ On a clear V nlgbt, when earth’s surface cools r|pidly to a freezing temperature,. a falryllke granular coating forms in valleys or places where fog is common; but on a misty night when the fog prevents the rapid cooling of the air, there la little chance of frost fornr'ug.
