Helen Garrett as Rose Ann Mc- Coy, J.

Russell Kelly as Billy Mc- Candles. and Inrrle MacDonald asfivfajor Barthel-all played’ their parts to perfection.

The leading roles were very cap- ably taken by Mr. Callaghan and Miss Garrett. Both have pleasing voices. good diction, and marked proficiency in the dramatic art. Don Messer and his Islanders rendered appropriate Irish music

The 3rd Army broke loose along‘ the Rhine valley on a H-mile ram.l page that cleaved through the, heart of the enemy defences ba-| twen the Rhine and the Mosellcl 30 to '70 miles north of the Ger- mms fighting in defence of the Saar Basin and the Bavarian Pal- atlnate.

The 7th. Army was hammer- ing at the underside oi’ this huge , bulge in a cn-ordlnated offensive along a SC-milc front that gained up to four miles and overwhelmed the ZCC-year-old French fortress of Biiche, never before taken by storm.

The Germans were falling back into the Siegfried Line, which had been reached at some points, and were dcluging with artillery shells 7th Army troops who had fought up to the western outskirts of the Saarfs capltal- or . Saorbruocken, -2:i miles west of Bitche.

Geri. Eisenhower dealt this powerful three-army blow as the Germans renewed predictions that| threa- oflhcr armies — the 1st Can-l adian. the British 2nd and the} United States 9th -— iverc about to storm across the Rhine info the north German plain.

These aczounts said British and American artillery were searing 'Gcrm&n-"east bank positions-with barrages of mounting intensity.

Gennan attempts to hold back the American this on a iii-mile front east of the Rhine were struck a heavy blow by the cutting of the| six-Lane Rhine - Ruhr military highway. over which they had btcn moving troops iroln one sector of the bridgehead to ihr othcr.

The 78th Infantry Division fought astridc the Autobahn at! 11:14 AM. near Bruengsberv. eight miles northwest of the bridge at Remngen.

Later in the afternoon another unit fought house-to-lhouse through Hosvel. less than a mile south cfl Bruensberg, and likewise battled across the major road link
