Only too well for the Nazi horde does the Red army remember the horrible crimes of the Germans as they overran Western Russia in the early days of the war. The entire Democratic world rejoices over the latest drives of the Russians. British, American and Canadian forces, ably helped by the French, are continuing their successful conquest of Normandy. Cheering reports of a chancing attitude on Turkey's part are now current in Europe-and the Near East. She is breaking off relations with Germany, and the Allies are exnected to ask her material help against the Nazis, with a later request to join completely as a belligerent. Anthony Eden told B.C. newspapermen on his visit to Canada that Turkey could be relied upon to come into the war at "a quarter to 12." By that reckoning the deadline for war in Europe is almost here. US. ARMY NEWSPAPER Anvthintr that helps to maintain the morale of the soldiers of the United Nations is important. For that reason the United States army in most of its posts has arranged for a public relations department to publish daily and weekly papers. Even in the battle areas printing presses are set up and local newspapers giving local news about the men themselves and messages from home are run off. Canadian army camps soon realized the value of such newspapers and followed suit, with the result that manv fine editions have been created. Prince Rupert may well share with the local I U.S. army establishment a pride in the locally-nro-duced weekly newsnaper, the Acropolis News. This paper, printed weekly and issued in mimeograph form daily with current wire news is a first-rate nublication reflecting high credit on. the army establishment, its; Special Service officers, its manapring editor. Pfc. Duane "Dip" Page, and his photographer, Cpl. Steve Brylinski. Pfc. Pape is a veteran newspaperman from Washington State. As the onlv regular reporter, cartoonist, editor, circulation and business manager of the Acropolis News he is doine a smart job. His weeklv printed edition in tabloid size compares favorablv with most of the army publications and far ahead of many. The publication is well illustrated with the fine nhotopraohy of Cpl. Brvlinski and car toons by Pfc. Page. It is breezily written and is filled with local and homeland stories of appeal. THANKS TO THE BANDS Shakespeare . told us long ago: "Man that hath no music in his soul, nor is "not moved by concord of sweet sound, is fit for treason, strategy and spoils. Music provides both a stimulus and a balm to the majority and is welcomed everywhere. People . are happiest when there is music. i The 300 men, women and children who relaxed on the Court House green Sundav afternoon and list ened with pleasure to the splendid program given by a band comprising musicians from Prince Rupert Garrison Band and Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury Redment. under the able direction of Bandmaster W.O. 1 Frank Delamont. came away high in their praise of holiday concerts. This was the second in a series of six concerts given as a public service throuerh the co-operdtion of the United military services of Prince Rupert area. This splendid "gesture and fine music should not go unnoticed. Each member of the Garrison Band, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury Reciment Band, Royal Canadian Naval Band from H.M.C.S. Chatham and the United States Army Port Band, together with their bandmasters and all persons responsible for this entertainment series should bo sincerely thanked. It would not be amiss for the city council to send official letters of thanks to each band. Too frequently we do not voice our thanks with the same enthusiasm with which we accept the contributions of others. In this case everyone should feel happy to say, "Thank you."

With over 50,OfX),000 gallons of petroleum products going from this hemisphere to the fighting forces every day there's not a lot left for the civilian. Think of aviation needs alone. The present demands for aviation gasoline exceed, in themselves, the peak total demand for all petroleum products during the last war. From 1939 to 1944 Canada's demand for aviation gas increased more than 3,000. Only 5,453,980 gallons were used in 1939 for pre-war flying. More than 176,198,000 gallons were used by Canada in the fourth year of the war. Think of invasion needs. Oil drove the ships to the point of rendezvous. Oil drove the battleships that pulverized enemy coast defences. Oil drove the landing craft ashore. High-octane gasoline sent the bombers and fighters into action. Gasoline is powering the tanks, trucks, jeeps, mobile guns, bulldozers and portable cranes that are swarming by thousands into France. The invasion surges ahead on a wave of oil. Think of tbt needs of the war at sea. Canada's navy today has more than 43 times as many ships as in 1939. These ship are on patrol from Murmansk to Cape Town. The vast majority of them are powered by oiL Many of these arc fast craft, designed to chase submarines and heavy consumers of fuel. Yet, never has a single Canadian ship been held up for lack of fuel oil. Every drop of petroleum for war comes front the same common pool as the gasoline for your car. The gasoline allowed for your car is issued for a purpose to keep essential civilian transportation rolling. Waste here at home means want in the battle zones. Thoughtless, needless, frivolous use of a single gallon robs the fighting man.
