The despatch, dated February 2nd, follows: “A BATTALION COMMAND POST AT THE EDGE OF. CASSINO, Feb. ruary 2.—American doughboys penetrated to the outskirts of Cassino, key bulwark of the Cassino corridor to Rome, before noon today and reinforcements rushed up immediately to wipe out the last German snipers hidden in the hills and streets of this stubbornly held town. “Infantrymen —3 some of whom have been fighting for more than 20 hours .without rest— waded through heavy enemy tank, artillery, mortar and small arms fire to smash their way to the outskirts of this historic town, most of whose 16,000 populaton fled before the siege began almost three weeks ago. -Duel: With Germans “American tanks supported the infantry and dueled with German tank. and antitank defenses at the northern limits of (Cassino, through which passes one of Italy’s most important north-south arteries, leading straight to Rome.

All persons connected with war activities on the home front know how much the Scouts have helped to put every effort across. Boy Scout Week gives the American people a chance to recognize their worth. It reminds wus also of ittheir yolunteer adult leaders—the Scoutmasters, without whose guidance and encouragement no Troop could long ‘continue. These men are working harder and longer in fartories and offices. They are also air raid wardens and Victory gardezers. But their devotion to their Scouts never falters, which is a higher compliment to Scouting than anyone else Can pay. The man who leads a Scout Troop is doing an important war job. Whether he is continuing a peace time activity or merely “filling in’? for the duration, the Scoutmaster renders an essential service to the community and to the nation. His ‘“‘compensation” is the satisfaction o9f watching individual growth and enjoying the gratitude and friendship of his ‘boys. There.are Boy Sicout Trotine now which need adult leadership.

Dowrie, Graduate School EDITORIAL BOY SCOUT WEEK The Boy Scouts of America, this week, celebrates its 34th anniversary. All persons connected with war activities on the home front know how much the Scouts have helped to put every effort across. Boy Scout Week gives the American people a chance to recognize their worth. It reminds wus also of ittheir yolunteer adult leaders—the Scoutmasters, without whose guidance and encouragement no Troop could long ‘continue. These men are working harder and longer in fartories and offices. They are also air raid wardens and Victory gardezers. But their devotion to their Scouts never falters, which is a higher compliment to Scouting than anyone else Can pay. The man who leads a Scout Troop is doing an important war job. Whether he is continuing a peace time activity or merely “filling in’? for the duration, the Scoutmaster renders an essential service to the community and to the nation. His ‘“‘compensation” is the satisfaction o9f watching individual growth and enjoying the gratitude and friendship of his ‘boys. There.are Boy Sicout Trotine now which need adult leadership.
