CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all who in any way assisted us during our bereavement, caused through the sudden death of our beloved wife, daughter and sister, Ellen "Wheeler Tolton. To those assisting with the services, for the use of cars, the beautiful flowers and all acts of kindness, we are truly grateful. Lt.

Another large Nazi force was trapped hopelessly in central Germany and Czechoslovakia, pinned between the merged American and Russian; J pes in the north and the rampaging American Third army into Austria Aus-tria in the south. The size of the central German pocket was uncertain, but the cornered enemy forces there were showing little signs of fight and there appeared little likelihood that they would continue the battle bat-tle after the fall of Berlin. Hitler and his chief Nazi aides variously were reported trapped in Berlin and hiding in their Alpine Al-pine hideout at Berchtesgaden. In either event, their chances of re maining free for more than a few days or weeks at best were slim. Premier Stalin hailed the Elbe meeting with a special order of the day that set Moscow's victory guns booming in salute to the Allied Al-lied armies. Exchange Discussed-London Discussed-London more soberly announc ed tersely that a firm contact be tween the Soviet and American forces had been established and that a mutual exchange of prison ers was discussed. Gen. Omar N. Bradley, com mander of the U. S. 12th army group that includes the First army, followed with an order of the day paying tribute to. the Russian veterans of Stalingrad and Sevastopol and the battle hardende American doughtboys who met for the first time at Torgau. "You have shared in the liberation liber-ation of four nations, given hope to others and conquered half of Germany," Bradley then told his American units. As he spoke, the American Third and Seventh armies in the south were rolling into the northern and western fringes of the Bavarian redoubt at opposite ends of a 200-mile assault front. Patton's Third army veterans were across the Austrian border in force and appeared on the verge of linking up with the Russians Rus-sians for a combined attack on Berchtesgaden. Closing of the narrow gap between be-tween the Americans and Russians Rus-sians severed the last Nazi escape routes into the Bavarian Alps and cut off the great Skoda arms works at Pilsen, Czechoslovakia from the national redoubt where the Nazis were reported prepared prepar-ed to make their last stand. The location of the advanced Russian spearheads was not clear, but it was indicated they were part of Marshal Feodor Tolbuk-hin's Tolbuk-hin's Second Ukrainian army, last reported 85 miles southeast of the Americans in the Danube val- (NBA Telephoto) "Constructively critical'' was the attitude at-titude with which Dr. Eelco van Kleffins, Netherlands Minister of Foreign Affairs, approached the San Francisco Conference.

A CBS correspondent broad cast yesterday that he had crossed the Mulde river, driven with other newspapermen through streams of German refugees to Torgau, crossed the Elbe briefly and then returned to the American Ameri-can lines without a short having been fired. The trip apparently was made before the Russians captured Torgau, but clearly showed that the American - Soviet Junction could be made at will . Wrecked Buildings- North of Berlin, Marshal Kon-stantin Kon-stantin K. Rokossovsky's Second White Russian army spilled out across the Mecklenburg plains 135 miles from British Second army forces below Hamburg after capturing Stettin, Germany s third port. Stettin, capital of Pomerania and birthplace of Catherine the Great, fell to Rokossovsky's army in a surprise push across the low er Oder river. Also captured were the west bank towns of Penkun, Gartz, Kasekow and Schwedt, 15, 16, 21 and 30 miles respectively southwest of Stettin. With the launching of the Sec ond army's drive, three Red armies were on the march to ward their western Allies on a 125-mile front. The two armies inside Berlin began the toughest part of the conquest of the enemy capital with their assault on the inner city. They were fighting through the densest maze of wrecked build ings they yet have encountered all defended by picked troops sworn to make the Russians pay the highest price possible for every yard. Three more metropolitan districts dis-tricts were captured in fierce fighting yesterday, bringing a total of 40 under Soviet control.

(Acts 2:38). Then if we live true to Christ and His word we bear "the fruit of the Spirit ..." love, joy, peace, longsuffering,kind-n longsuffering,kind-n e s s, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control." (Gal. 5:22). These qualities in any obedient person today are distinctive dis-tinctive enough and prove that he has the Spirit of Christ. We should not forget 2 John 1:9 here: "Whosoever goeth onward on-ward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching the same hath' both the Father and the Son." Could anvone claim the Holy Spirit who "hath not God?" According to the Bible, the way the Holy Spirit work's to save a person today is through the "Gospel, the power of God unto salvation," (Rom. 1:16), which is the "Word," "The sword of the Spirit" (Eph. 6:17). You would not go to the hardware store for groceries, grocer-ies, nor expect the shoemaker to fix your watch. Yet many today still seek for the Spirit to do something miraculous for them which the perfected Word Is designed to do.

It does not prevent the navy from assigning 18-year-olds to warships for completion of their six-months training although the ships may find themselves in combat. The bill was approved unani mously, although Rep. Michael J. Bradley, D., Pa., said he thought the training amendment ought first to be referred to the naval affairs committee for clarification of the use in combat by 18-year- olds in the navy. Rep. John J. Sparkman, D., Ala., told the house that the amendment would apply to 18- year-olds already in the service but not yet assigned to combat and to those inducted in the future. Those already in combat will not be affected, even if they have not had six months' training. Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staff, and war department officials had opposed the training amendment.
