Clear skies, brigbt sunsbine and daiiy temperatures rang- ing from. 40 ta 50 degrees were the order of tbe week- end. Higbway traffic was light. Squirrels quarreled over nuts under walnut trees. A lady bug was observed preening its tailor-made suit. A caterpillar was seen cross- ing a garage floor and a tria of moles blinked in the sun- light and maoched among the leaves.

Local Boys In Action At Moro River, Italy Monday's Canadian press re- ports direct from the front tell the story of Canadian boys in action at the battie of Moro River, Italy, December 8tb. Scores of nanies of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, and the Can- adian Tank Corps are featured in the news despatches. Boys who were in scbool, aniy yester- day it seems, ail tbe way fram Belleville and Madoc ta Oshawa, drove farward acrass a 600-yard valley and rauted desperatehy figbting Huns and ta take and hold their almast impregnable positions. They were the spear- head of Generai Montgomery's me- newed drive and they have won immartai glanies for Canada. The reports tell that these troops, "in their fiercest engage- ments in Itaiy, fighting under the heaviest German fire yet encoun- tered, smasbed German resistance campletely, took their trencbes and looked back over ground lit- tered with dead and waunded and beld their ground."
