Holt County Boy Member
Of Prominent Battalion
H. Q. 3rd Armored Division,
December 7.—Working under
constant enemy mortar and ar
tillery fire in what is said to be the
largest mine field yet tnciuntrr
ed on the Western Front, a pla
toon off the 23rd Armored Engin
eer Battalion with the 3rd Armor
ed “Spearhead” Division has re
moved more than 1000 anti-tank
mines in ess than three days.
Even in the dry du.'-y days of
Normandy, it took great patience
and persistance to remove enemy
mines; but here, siwn under deep
mud, it’s a formidable task.
Led by First Lt. Edmund J.
Socha of 51 Van Winkle Avt..Wel
lington, N J., the men move slow
ly and cautiously, feeling their
way through the unplumbed icy
ooze. That no casualties have
| been incurred in the hazardous
process is a tribute to the train
ing and alertness of the unit, for
under that mire, like lurking
monsters, are< the deadly S-Mines,
wired and waiting for the kill.
It’s a grim affair slushing abiut,
at times knee-deep in muck,
hampered by hundreds of detect
or-defying Schumines which can
only be found by probing.
Impelled by the knowledge
that through the removal of these
barriers the tanks of the “Spear
head” “division can go forward,
they leave no stone unturned.
Pvt. Dick Timmerman, of
this city, is a member of the
23rd Engineer Battalion.
Nebraskans Urged To
Make A Final Effort To
Put Over 6th War Loan
The State War Finance Commit
tee urged Nebraskans to make a
continued effort to help the state
reach Sixth War Loan goals in all
divisions by continuing a vigorous
campaign through December 30,
and “Make even the last few hours
count,” Leon Markham, executive
manager for the committee, said
Saturday.
He said such assistance will be
necessary if the state is to meet
goals in “E” bond and individual
divisions. Nebraska’s over-all goal
of 94 million dollars has been met,
but continued buying will be nec
essary, he said, to meet the other
important goals.
County chairmen have been no
tified to contact all issuing agen
cies in their counties with instruc
tions that they remit purchases
daily to the Federal Reserve Bank
at Kansas City. All bonds bought
by individuals during December
will count toward individual goals
and all payments for bonds re
ceived by the Federal Reserve be
fore January 2, will be included.
Unless daily remittance is made,
delay in the mails may cause some
counties to lose sales they should
be credited with, Mr. Markham
said.
“Last minute sales will be of
vital importance toward making
goals,” he said, but he added, “we
can do it if there is vigorous con
tinuation of the campaign to the
end of the month.
Federal Reserve Bank reports
showed that half of Nebraska’s 93
counties had made over-all goals
by December 21 and that 12 coun
ties had made their individual
goals.

Nebraska Fishing Season
To Be For 12 Months
Beginning February 1st
According to Game Commission
Secretary Paul T. Gilbert the Ne
braska Game Commission has in
augurated one of the longest fish
ing seasons in the history of the
Department. The season this year
will be 12 months long beginning
Feb. 1, 1945. This practice is one
that is becoming prevalent in
many states. There is no fishing
pressure anticipated from this new
policy as fishing is relatively poor
during the winter months but it
will furnish those who like a little
ice fishing some winter recreation.
An added iegulation this year
states that all legal fish taken if
not desirable to the angler must be
returned immediately with as little
harm as possible to the water. Ac
cording to Mr. Gilbert there has
been some tendency of individuals
to keep a smaller size legal fish
on the stringer until a larger one
is caught, at which time the small
er fish is removed from the string
er and replaced by the larger one.
Such small fish after once placed
on a stringer rarely survive even
though returned to the water.
The Game Department has re
cently reorganized with new re
creation developments in mind in
order to facilitate the handling of
post-war projects. The new or
ganization plan calls for five sup
ervisors working under the execu
tive secretary, namely: Supervisor
of Fisheries, which will include all
fish hatcheries, salvage crews, and
aquatic research projects; Super
visor of Game, which will include
game farms, Pittman - Robertson
activities and all activities perti
nent to game; Supervisor of Lands
and Waters, which will include
supervision of development of res
ervoirs, lakes and parks with two
new superintendents in this divi
sion, Superintendents of Construc
tion and of Forestry; Supervisor of
Wardens, in charge of all law en
forcement activities pertinent to
the Game Department; and Super
visor of Accounts and Supplies, in
charge of office management and
supply depot.
xiumiiib tujiujwuua me iooi<
weeks have been very good with
bag limits of ducks and pheasants
being reported all over the state.
Hunting the last week has been
especially good on the lower Mis
souri. Pheasant hunting for those
who have braved the rougher
weather has produced dividends.
Much of the cover is down and the
birds are pretty well divided up
into large groups of either cocks
or hens. I
Mr. Gilbert reports that hunting
and fishing licenses will not be
available until the middle of Jan-1
uary due to priming circumstances |
which have arisen making the us
ual opening sale of January 1 im
possible. Inasmuch as the hunting
season this year runs into January
1 of the new year, 1944 permits,
will be accepted through the first i
week in January.

Know Your
State Traffic Laws ffi ffi
■ —
In 30 years the annual number
if automobile deaths has risen
from less than 1000 to more than
30,000 a year Therefore, to pro
tect the public all drivers of auto
mobies are licensed. This means
that society has taken over the
right of saying who shall not be
allowed to operate an automobi e,
consequently, the state giants
the privilege to drive only to
those who have proved by an
examination that they can dr.ve
properly.
The act of licensing makes driv
ing a privilege. All licenses are
issued temporarily and can be
revoked at any time. If you
drive in a dangerous way on the
highway you will lose this priv
ilege. Protect your operator’s
license by being a sate driver
and be sure that your license is a
valid license, as all operatir’s
licenses expire every two years.
