U. S.4mk Bombers Bokter Sonet tight for Life Deep In Caucasus THE DELTA DEMOCRAT-TIMES. GREENVILLE. MISSISSIPPI (Continued from Page 1) had been swiftly doomed. Two days ago the high command announced that its forces stood before Russian-defended bridgehead positions--evidently along the Axal river, a tributary of the Don enfolding Rostov on the north.

Yesterday Berlin proclaimed that German and Slovak troops had forced the bridgeheads and reached the outskirts of Ros- tov; Today's Moscow communique said merely that Russian troops through the night had "fought the enemy in the areas of Voronezh and also in the areas of Tsimly- ansk, Novocherkassk and Rostov No changes took place in other sectors of the front." Nails Thrown Back That was the extent of the official Russian mention of Rostov although the communique wenl on to describe fighting in the Novocherkassk area, about 20 miles northeast of Rostov, near the bend of the Axai river. "Our repulsed attacks by numerically superior enemy forces," it said. "In one narrow sector alone the Germans lost 17 tanks and more than 800 men killed." The German high command used a special communique to proclaim the capture -of' Rostov-- an occasion calling for a minute- long trumpeting and rolling of drums on the German radio, Berlin's standard device to call attention to special victory claims and gain maximum audience. "Troops of the German army, troops of the SS (elite Hitler guard) and Slovak units, supported in splendid manner by thi air force, have broken through the entire front of strongly fortified and deeply echeloned positions of the defenses of Rostov and, after hard fighting, have captured the town by storm," said the announcement. Mopping up of the remnants of the enemy in the town is continuing." Tire Certifitates Chiropractic Relieves Sciatica Rheumatism Dr.

IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of Mrs. J. S.

McNcllly Long years ago in anotlicr regime, there was born in the ancestral home at Evergreen, ginia, to Col. Edmund Berkeley and wife, a baby girl called Mary Berkeley. For years she made glad the hearts of und loved ones about her, and enjoyed the comforts of ante bellurn days. Then came the Civil War and life was not the same, but with courage undaunted'by the vicissitudes of war, Mary with her family began a new life of adjustment. A priceless heritage was hers, the ideals and culture of the Old South were instilled and deeply rooted in Mark Berkeley.

Some years later she married Cfcpt. J. S. McNellly who was a distinguished and honored son of Mississippi, They had lived and kept a home in Greenville and Vicksburg, in the years past She was a devoted wife and mother. So al.

ways their "home was known for it's hospitality. Awhile before the More than 60 per cent of Egypt's doath of Capt. McNeilly tlu-y moved to Lake Washington, where "Mrs. Mac" as she was affectionately called by her friends, has lived with her daughter, Mrs. Victor Erwin.

She was versatile and until the past weeks still played and sang hymns and beloved songs of the yesteryears. Always a gracious, cordial person, one to meet her felt instinctively here a gentlewoman. An inveterate reader, her language was always choice and chaste, People loved "Mrs. Mac" and she loved people, her fondness for children and youth was well known. A woman of ninny lovable qualities, but outstanding was her Christian faith and love for her church.

As gently as she lived, just so gently that Spilit slipped fAvay to, be with others crossed over, and to be with the Lord forever more. "Peace, perfect peace With loved ones for away In Jesus keeping we arc sufe, And Friend. E. C. S.

The war of today tremendously overshadows ull others in the magnitude of its economic inspects every part of the world will feel thiH impact. Today solving these problems, winning the peace after the war, is almost as important aa the war itself. Enemy No. 1 is inflation, and our ifovorn- ment is taking steps that have never been taken before in a gigantic effort to prevent that catastrophe. Never before have there been "frozen price regulations, and CREDIT regulations.

But we Americans CAN and MUST regulate ourselves to these restrictions. The question of CREDIT runs deeper than even the restrictions of today, however.
