THE PLANES STILL TAKE OFF FOR TOKYO! The greatest tribute we can pay our fighting men in this glad hour is to continue to back them all the way in the deadly fight that still remains against Japan! We can buy more Bonds, stick to our War Jobs and otherwise carry on in full support of the war effort until final Victory comes! For until Japan falls, there can be no Peace for any of us. CITY TRANSIT COMPANY Phone 292 Elkin, N. C. The Fighting In Europe^ Is Over But The War Still Goes On! Today we are thrilled and thankful that the news of Victory in Europe has at last come, and like all Americans everywhere we honor the brave men whose bravery oh the fighting fronts made that Victory possible.

And until that fight has last ended in total Victory, all of us must continue to do our full part on the home front! CARTER’S White Swan Laundry Phone 205 • Elkin, N. C. Russians Took Reich Capital 185 Years Ago (By The Associated Press) The last time Russia took Berlin was 185 years ago. They took it from Frederick the Great, the French-speak ing autocrat who brought the Prussian military tradition in to first flower. They did it with ill-trained and poorly led troops but held it only three days. Three years before the Rus sians barged in, a flying de tachment of 4,000 Austrian cavalry under command of dar ing General Haddick razed a Berlin suburb and forced the capital, under threat of similiar treatment to pay ransom. Within 12 hours Haddick wheeled his troops and was gone before the Prussians dis covered the meager size of his forces. Gustavious Adolphus, the Swedish soldier of the Cross, was in Berlin in 1631. Napoleon swept in from the west in 1806 and exacted heavy levies to fill his empire war chest.
