Move Up
The beachhead troops, paced
by naval lire from a French
cruiser, moved steadily across
the creased gullies of the west
coast below Rome toward the
mouth of the Tiber. They cut
the Anzio-Albano road, pressed
upon the stronghold of Velletri
and seemed to be outflanking
the Alban hills, last natural ob
stacle before the eternal city.
The Germans announced
abandonment of Aprilia, which
Jias changed hands five times
since the beachhead was estab
lished. Daniel De Luce of the
AP said the roofless, shell-punc
tured town fell without a hand'

lunged through fields of crosses

German names. The stench of
cordite and the dust of battle
hung heavily on the approaches
to Rome. Kesselring was trying
desperately to scrape up some
reserves in North Italy to patch
up nis shattered nazi lines. Ra
dio Algiers said the marshal's
men were "groggy and reeling"
and 'disengaging along the
whole front."

Here's One Man
Not Overpaid
It just doesn't pay to work
anymore.
That's what A. L, B. Wade
found out the other day.
One day last week Wade
went to work for Kesterson's
mill. He worked five hours
at 901 cents an hour. A short
time later he got his check.
The amount was for exact!;' S
cents.
A brief glance at the check
stub showed that Wade had
$4.53 coming. Out of that,
5 cents went for social secur
ity, 10 cents for hospital in
surance, 10 cents income tax
and $4.23 for group insur
ance, totaling $4.48, and leav
ing a balance of just one
nickel. .
The check was cashed by
Andy Moore of the Baldwin
hotel. Wade pocketed his
earnings, determined not to
spend it all in one place.
