I Read The Union Buy War Bonds Keep Posted And Stamps THE MORAVIA UNION WINNER OF SECOND PLACE IN 1944 IOWA PRESS ASSOCIATION CONVENTION GENERAL, EXCELLENCE CONTEST FOR NEWSPAPERS IN TOWNS UNDER 1,000 POPULATION. VOLUME 44 Moravia, Iowa, Thursday, January 18, 1945 Number 3 This and That 7 by H.K.S. What with the four inch snow of Sunday and Sunday night, a tire blow out before daylight Monday morning and the necessity of the addition of two more horsepower to our automobile for a time the same morning, this week got off to a rather poor start for weuns. But the sun finally came out for a time as it usually does. and except for a sniffly nose we're about as good as new again.

And if anyone does not know, we are having a little winter nowadays. It is possible that someone up Albia way may not get their Moravia Union as should in the future. This week we received one postage saver envelopes from that city with nothing but the extra month coupon enclosed. Not much danger of us giving anyone credit on that kind of a deal, but if the party will give us the nod we'll fix them up ok. Our mail basket this week held some greetings and comments of friends at a distance.

Among them we find one from Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Whicker of Lay, Colorado, which states: "We are having a mild ter 30 far.

Should any Moravians be traveling highway No. 40, we will be glad to have them stop at the Sinclair filling station and see And then there: is one from Fred Tarr, who says: "I attended the funeral of B. T. Robley at Pacific Grove, Jan. 6, and met Garrett Harn and daughters, also Dr.

Detwiler. Both of these men are oldtimers of Moravia and I was sure giad to meet them. Garret is with his daughters San Francisco at the present time and the Doctor is with his daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and 8 couple of great granddaughters in Pacific Grove. They all seem to be in good health. I work every day but Sunday at the Salinas army air base and like the work fine.

Best regards to all my old friends." Now that Wayne Davis has gone to the service (we are presuming that he made the grade, having heard nothing to the contrary), the Union is entitled to display three stars on its service flag. First to go, as you know, was the former printer's devil, the young man who practically grew up in the shop, Roscoe Day, who has now been in the army for nearly, four years, with three years of that overseas. About 8 year and a half later, Russell Spavin, who was our linotype operator for a time, was called up. He is in France now. -And the latest, Wayne, who has operated the Union under a lease contract for two and a half years.

We also like to claim Howard Evans, a former employee, who has been in the service for more than two years and has had overseas duty. proud of all of them, for they are all fine young men, and we know they'll do the job at whatever may fail their lot.

Max Martin Awarded Bronze Star For Valor (Special to Moravia Union) Headquarters Seventh Army Public Relation Lieutenant Max A Martin of Moravia, Iowa, who was with the Third division of the Seventh army in Italy, was recently awarded the Bronze for valorous conduct in action against the enemy, The Third division is adding to to the success and glory that has been recorded in its history since July, 1918, when on its first combat assignment of World War I it succesfully defended the Marne River against two divisions of picked German shock troops. Since making their initial landing on the beaches north of Fodala, French Morocco, November 8, 1942, the men of the 3rd Division have participated in every campaign fought in this theatre.

On August 15. 1944, the division under the command of Major John W. O'Daniel, landed on the beaches of southern France, its fourth amphibious landing of the war. Striking north into France the men covered more than 150 miles in the first ten days of fighting, taking more than 4000 prisoners and setting a pace that has brought them to the very threshhold of Germany in record time. In a recent operation the 3rd Division spanned the raging Meurthe River in the Vosges Mountain without the loss of a single man and wtihout the enemy suspecting that a major attack was under way.

The perfection in this river crossing will be recorded as another of the 3rd Division's outstanding achieve ments. Numa Retains Lead In County; Defeat Moravia the season.
