BOND CREDITS AH Bonds Purchased February Should be Cred ited to ALA Drive It would be a real thrill of tho war if a submarine were launched in the name of and under the avis pices of the American Legion Aux iliary of Pennsylvania.

It would be an additional thrill to have your name enrolled on the scroll to be placed inside that submarine, de dicated to the Legion Auxiliary. That is the plan, providing there is a War Bond sale of three mil lion dollars in Pennsylvania in February ear-marked to be credited to the ALA. The ladies of the Auxiliary are sponsoring the bond sale in the state this month and if the sales attain the three million mark the Legion Auxiliary will have attained its goal. It is not necessary that the ladies make all these sales themselves. All bond purchasers can merely mark their purchases be credited to the ALA" and the Legion will get credit.

Bonds purchased at banks, postoffice, factories or from booths or individual solicitors can be credited in this way. There is only one week left which to put the drive over the top and it has not nearly been achieved as yet. The American Legion Auxiliary of Canonsburg asks its friends to lend a helping hand the last week and buy bonds and credit all purchases to their organization.

Reds Fight Buck In the actual action, picture of the war, the gallant Russian army was shown fighting for Stalingrad, battling from street to street, house to house, with a spirit which would not allow the Reds to surrender.

Overcoming overwhelming odds, the Reds fought oft' the Nazi hoard despite the fact that Stalingrad was virtually being blown to pieces hy the heavy artillery fire. Street scenes showed the Russians advancing at great risk of life while the Russian women followed close behind, dressing the wounded under fire and then pull the wounded to safety on impro vised stretchers. Russia fought back, under heavy odds, and the will to live free carried them against the enemy in many brave deeds to completely rout the Nazis who, in some instances, dropped their arms and ran away only to be shot down by the cool, advancing Reds. Carrier Iiuler Attack Matching the coolness of the Russians was the scene which depicted the coolness of the crew of an American carrier under attack of Japanese planes. A direct hit was scored ou the carrier but the gun crew ignored the blaze to continue their fire on the Japs until the air was clear of the enemy.

Then, and only then, did the American sailors turn their efforts to the blaze, to prepare the carrier for further action. The Kiwanians saw direct hits scored which shot down the Jap planes to a watery grave somewhere in the Pacific war zone. Among the other guests present last night was Everett Melrose, chief observer of the local observation corps who explained the duties of all spotters and the importance of making accurate reports. W. E.

McKissick and J. H. Le Clair, also of the Bell Telephone Company were guests of p. M. Hissom, in charge of last night's program.
