' ' -vV t- Proifo.Awaits Anniversary Thursday One of Utah's oldest citizens, William Ratcliffe, of 171 North Second East street, will be 99 years old tomorrow. . With no special celebration or "open house" planned In his honor, Mr. Ratcliffe will spend his birthday birth-day in much the. usual manner of his daily routine which he has followed in the past. That means he will probably get up around 6:30 a.m. to spend an hour reading before breakfast. He might spend a few hours after breakfast doing some light raking or weeding around the lawns and flower beds at the house. A little later he might take his usual walk for some . little shopping or to call on an old acquaintance. In the evening hell probably spend an hour or two with his. evening paper to keep up with the latest developments of the world. If he doesn't follow such a routine it will probably be because he will be busy greeting birthday callers. Mr. Ratcliffe has some very positive Ideas about the war. He thinks the world conflict will last at least beyond 1943. He thinks America, being a democracy like Great Britain, will come out victorious vic-torious In the end, even though we may, lose some of the battles in the beginning of the war. He thinks the United States will rise to the occasion, and produce great military leaders like MacArthur to lead the nation to victory over the enemies of democracy. His mind is remarkably keen and alert for one of his advanced years, and being an avid reader, possesses an unusual store of information. in-formation. There is scarcely a topic of the day which he couldn't carry on an intelligent conversation conversa-tion at length. He was born in Manchester, Yorkshire, England, April 9, 1843, when Queen Yjptoria had been on the throne only six years. He has lived in the United States since he was three months old, coming here to live in Pittsburgh during the administration of John Tyler. He was 18 years old when the Civil War broke out and retains to to this very day some vivid impressions of those stirring days. His first ballot as an American voter was cast for Abraham Lincoln's Lin-coln's second term. He engaged in mining in his early days, first in the Pennsylvania Pennsylva-nia coal mines and later pioneered on the Kansas frontier, but a combination com-bination of drouth, and grasshoppers grasshop-pers forced him to return to the east. In 1894 he came to Provo with his wife, Elizabeth Miller, and for many years he owned considerable property in the vicinity of the county infirmary. Since his wife's death in 1928 he has made his home with his daughter, and son-in-law, Herman' and Bessie Ratcnffe Grimm. Expressing keen appreciation for the kindness of his many neighbors and friends Mr. Rat cliffe said today, "People have been good to me. Ever so many young girls and boys have stopped time and again to help me across the street. I would like to say that I appreciate such kindness great ly." Mr. Ratcliffe has four living children, William Ratcliffe, James Ratcliffe and Mrs. Grimm of Provo and Ross Ratcliffe of Chula Vista, California. Hot Water Blast Wrecks Kitchen SPRINGVILLE The tremend ous power of steam was demon- strated Tuesday when a hot water jacket exploded in the home of Dick Conover at 431 East Fourth South street here. The terrific blast caused by the pent-up steam blew the kitchen range to pieces and shot pieces of iron through the kitchen walls and ceiling in several places. An aerial bom'o couldn t have wreaked more havoc, it is claimed. Luckily, both Mr. and Mrs. Conover were away from home at the time the explosion took place. This Day . . .

Radio Moscow reported the capture cap-ture of another Important point on the Kharkv front. One point captured by General Zhukov on the central front was said to be an important railway station. The early Russian communique today said, as usual, that there were no important changes on the front during the night. The . Soviet army ' newspaper Red Star coincidentally revealed details of German efforts to bomb Murmansk out of existence. It is one of the main ports through which Russia receives supplies from the United States and Great Britain. Despite more than 100 air attacks, at-tacks, not a military or industrial target at Murmansk has been hit, Red Star reported. Toward the end of last month, it said, the Germans sent more than 200 planes. Fifteen were knocked from the sky; the rest jettisoned their bombs and fled. Washington dispatches reported that Russia had massed 122 divisions divis-ions (possibly 1,500,000 men) on the flank of an expected German Spring offensive into the Ukraine where the Germans had an estimated esti-mated 100 divisions, probably all south of Kharkov. The Red army reserves, under Marshal Klementi Voroshilov, presumably pre-sumably were prepared to strike southward toward the Sea of Azov to trap the Germans when Hitler starts his push toward the Caucasus oil fields. These reserves were moved west from the Urals where they had undergone intensive inten-sive training. In the Far East, the American-Filipino American-Filipino forces on Bataan peninsula penin-sula were forced back, last night to previously-prepared defensive positions, but on other sectors there were no specific reports of Japanese gains. Gen. Douglas MacArthur conferred con-ferred with allied war leaders in Australia on plans for striking back at the enemy in the islands north of that continent, where unofficial estimates said the Japanese Jap-anese had so far lost about 120 airplanes. This toll may have been boosted by today's aillied air raid on Koepang, on Dutch Timor island. , On other fronts: Burma British and Chinese lines apparently unchanged following follow-ing Japanese three-pronged push north of Prome and Toungoo toward to-ward oil fields.

Director Appointment of Aura C. Hatch, Provo mortician, as a director of the Provo chamber of commerce to succeed George S. Ballif , who resigned, was announced today by President Victor J. Bird. - The resignation of Mr. Ballif, whose term expires at the end of this year, was accepted by the board of directors with a vote of thanks f&t his cooperative coopera-tive effort in the chamber. Mr. Ballif resigned because his position posi-tion as chairman of the state business regulations keeps him out of the city so much that he is unable to attend many of the meetings. Mr. Hatch received the next highest number of vote of the eliminated candidates at the chamber of commerce election iir December. NEW PACIFIC CHARTER NEEDED WASHINGTON, April 5 (U.R) Rear Admiral H.

'Joe died about four hours afterwards,' aft-erwards,' she said, "but I just couldn't seem to go. Every once in a while I put the hose in my mouth and took a few deep breaths. Then I'd go to sleep and Wake up again." She told the sheriff she sat in the car for 14 hours more, then went to a farm house late yesterday yester-day and told the farmer her husband hus-band was dead. Mrs. Denigan was held for further questioning while acting coroner Merrill Davis withheld with-held a verdict ni Denigan's death pending completion of the police investigation. r TOO LATE FOR 1 I CLASSIFICATION I i : FOR RENT FURNISHED CLEAN small apartment.
