George Washington was born
on Feb. 22, 1932, and died in 1799
at the age of 67 years. He became
a surveyor, commander-in-chief
of the army and the first Presi
dent of the United States.
Towards the close of his second
term in the Presidential office, he
refused to consider a third term.
With Hamilton’s aid, he drew up
h:'s famous “Farewell Address” of
Sept. 19, 1796. He urged his fel
low countrymen to remain true to
their ideals.
John Adams was elected to suc
ceed him. England and France
molested the young republic and
finally there was actual was with
France in 1798. Washington was
recalled to the post of commander
in-chief but he war ended in a
few naval encounters. Washing
ton went back to his beloved farm.
Among his last acivities was the
development of the great West
and means of transportation to it.
Washington was a very human
boy who grew to he a very human
man, and his glpry is due to the
love he bore his fellowmen, his
resistance to temptations to seek!
pov.er and glory.

Korean Situation
At A Glance - - -
Friday, February 23. 1951
(By The Associated Press)
Allied forces smashed north
ward today on a 60-mile rainswept
front aiming to kill, maim or cap
ture all Reds in the mired moun
tains and valleys of central Korea.
Advances in this new offensive
—“operation killer”—ranged up to
12 miles on the east-central sector
and ifp to 3Vfc on the central val
ley, north of Wonju.
Resistance was spoty most of
the day but was stiffening at dusk
as Allied spearheads neared the
main forces of the dug-in Chinese
and North Korean Reds. An es
timated 40,000. Reds are south of
Parallel 33. The Allied objective
is to wipe them out.
Gen. MacArthur announced the
new offensive today. An army
spokesmai^alled it “a vital phase
of the Korean campaign.” First re
sistance was spotty, with the
greatest obstacle, poor weather—
rain, mud, snow, and fog. The Chi
nese and North Korean troops
fought and ran, some of them in
panic.
American, British, Australian,
New Zealand and South Korean
troops teamed up on the ground
in the killer drive. In the air
planes of the U. S. Air Force,
Marine, Navy, frorrf Australia and i
South Africa found holes in the
clouds and plastered Red targets. |
The front was an arc from near
Yangpong, 27 miles east-southeast j
of Seoul, to Pyongyang, on the
east-central sector. The biggest
Red force was dug in the moun
tains about six miles north of
Wonju, 25 miles west of Pyong
chang.
(A3) correspondent Stan Swinton
said a big battle appeared in the
offing for Hoengsong, 10 miles
north of Wonju. The Allies were j
applying a pincers move on the
town.
Informed sources in Tokyo de
clared that the prospect of using
Chinese Nationalist troops in Ko-,
rea remains a live issue. Tre in- j
formants said this had no connec-!
tion with the visit to Formosa of j
Vice-Adm. Arthur D. Struble, U.
S. Seventh Fleet commander.
But on Formosa itself the Chi
nese Nationalists were afraid the.
Reds might do a little invading of
their own. Air raid tests were!
held throughout northern Formosa !
in preparation for repelling a Red '
invasion of the last fortress of,
Chiang Kai-Shek feared with the
coming of favorable weather.

Allied forces plunge forward
through mud against new Red hit
and run defenses, take Pyong
chang and drive toward the main
objective of Hoengsofng. Elements
of the forces of six nations are in
the 60-mile front offensive on the
central sector. The east and west
ends of the line are comparatively
quiet.
