Citation. at The citation accompanying the award is as follows: "Technical Sergeant Ellinger distinguished himself by heroic achievement in action against the enemy on March 17, 1945, at Vet telschoss. Germany. During the advance against strongly fortified enemy positions, Sergeant Ellinger assumed command of his platoon when the platoon leader became a casualty. As he led the men into the town, the advance was halted when the enemy opened fire on them with a 20 mm. gun mounted on a half-track vehicle. "He immediately deployed his men and then moved forward alone to attack the enemy ve hicle. Using his BAR as cover ing fire, he approached to within twenty yards of the enemy and threw a hand grenade into the half-track. He killed one of the crew and forced the remaining member to surrender. Sergeant Ellinger's aggressive leadership, with complete disregard for per sonal safety, and courageous ac tions contributed materially to the success of the operations." J. E.

(Continued from Page 1.) only about two-thirds of the 88 federally aided institutions which prepare teachers for vocational homemaking are offering this kind of training. Nebraska is among those institutions which have such a plan worked out co-operatively with the high schools of the state. These girls find they have gained self confidence and have a better understanding of the work and problems of the homemaking teacher. They know the addition al helps they need before accept ing their own teaching jobs after graduation. Studies show that students who received their train ing in off-campus centers have less difficulty than others in their first teaching jobs. Art Exhibit . . (Continued from Page 1.)
