Moscow said, hut were believed to be cutting behind enemy groups] and causing great damage.German, accounts, far ahead of official Moscow announcements in that area, told of Red Army penetrations to the area of Schwedt, on the Oder, twenty-eight miles south of Stettin, and the region of Pyritz, twenty-two miles southeast of Stettin.Simultaneously, Zhukov\u2019s forces in the Frankfurst bulge between the Oder and Warthe poised a southward flanking threat by the capture of Ziebingen, thirteen miles southeast of Frankfurt and five miles from the Oder.German underground reports received in London said the Germans already were building flying bomb ramps fifty miles west of Berlin and facing the German capita] for use against the city if it falls to the Russians.\t* Moscow dispatches failed to bear out German reports of Russian attempts already made to cross the formidable Oder in the Frankfurt- Kustrin area, where it b nearly 1,-COO feet wide.More than 100 villages, some close to the Oder and others on its banks, were captured by the Russians yesterday.Moscow dispatches said it was highly probable that Marshal Ivan Konev a^jain had gone into action from his Oder bridgehead^ in Silesia.but had no confirmation of Berlin reports that one bridgehead at Brieg between Oppeln and Breslau had been deepened to 12 miles and had reached Gi-otfkau.In East Prussia German resistance was in its final stages, with enemy held territory reduced to about 800 square miles and practically every small port in the Konigs-berg area in Russian hands.The Russian communique also announced new gains north and north-west of Konigsberg in East Prussia that split the German forces on the Samland Peninsula, where the Ger- Continued on page 2.col.4.Decisive Stage Reached In War On Berlin Front By EDDY GILMORE Associated Press Staff Writer Moscow, Feb.5.\u2014 {A3) \u2014The war on the eastern front entered one of its most decisive étages today as Marshal Gregory K.Zhukov massed hLs 1st White Russian Army along- the Oder River from north of Breslau to the area south of Stettin, First White Russian Army units were within 38 to 45 miles of Berlin at some places in their drive on the German capital.But there were no indications in Moscow as yet that Zhukov had tried to storm the Oder east of Berlin.\t, The big question was whether he would seek an immediate crossing, halt to build up his divisions and strengthen his lines of communication, or perhaps pause to allow the 1st Ukraine Army to go into action south of him.There are about eighteen railway bridges between Stettin and Breslau\u2014at least fifteen of them are believed standing.The Germans have mined them and those not already destroyed could be blown sky-high at a moment\u2019s notice.A thaw has been reported over the Eastern front and the mud and slush which followed the sudden rise in temperature are greatly hampering the movements of the Red Army.AU possibility of taking tanks \u2014even light ones\u2014across the Oder ice has gone and front reports indicated that infantry, also, would not be able to cross except by bridge or barge.But rivers never before have proved insurmountable obstacW to the Red Army.The British Take Over ny Yanks Within 28 Miies Of Rhine River Captured shortly after the recent new Allied offensive was launched in the northern section of the Western Front, Heinsberg, German border town, is now- serving as an important communication hub as the offensive gains added weight.In this official Ministry of Information photo, troops of the British 2nd Army in Bren carriers are shown entering the town watched by a German mother, and son.CONQUERED NAZI CENTRE HIT BY HEAVY BOMBERS Allied Planes Today Reported Over Austria in Continuation of Allied Air

Indian's skate and deflecting into ! the cage.SILKMEN WEAKEN The third period saw the Indians loosen up their rivals, who evidently seemed worn out, to pump in three goals.The first came at 3.17 when, from a scramble around the net, Phil Bergeron slapped in Harry I Allen\u2019s rebound.Noel Boileau also ! figured on the play.\t! Two minutes later, Harry Allen] made it 4-1 for the Indians as he! scored on a beautiful stickhandling ( display, Taking the puck in centre1 ice, he made his way through a maze of Silkmen to close in on Garceau and beat the Drummondville goalie on a low, ice-skimming backhand shot.At 16.10 of the frame, Dube piek-i ed up the rebound on Bob Ber-!geron\u2019s shot from the blueline to slap the puck between Garceau\u2019s 1 legs for the last Indian marker, bringing the count to 5-1.Thirteen seconds before time ran out, Desnoyers, on a concentrated Silkmen rush, teamed up with Lou Peloquin and Florent Lavigne.to bang a close-in shot past Dion, leaving the Indians with a 5-2 triumph.Only three penalties were handed lout during the game, two to the Indians and one to Drummondville.The game was hard hitting and rough and, although tempers flared at times, there were no outbreaks.The teams: Silkmen\tIndians Garceau.goal.Dion Larocque.defence ,, Ranger Blanchard.defence .Boisvert Lavigne.centre ., ., Allen Melaneon.r, wing .Letarte Peloquin.1.wing .Dussault Silkmen subs.\u2014 Davies, Roach, Keyes, Deihioyers, Dupont, Duplain, Lauziere.Indians subs.-\u2014Boileau.Dube.P.Bergeron, La.oie, B.Bergeron, Le* SHAVINGS A CBfOt With Minora Blades i A For comfort and speed, you can\u2019t equal Minora in its class.It's tho quality blade in the low-pricefield!
