Six School Men in Association Head Says 1942 Sale Is Most Vital in 35 Years. Representing the greatest volun- teer health organization in g the world, the Michigan Tuberculosis Association, six Tuscola county residents this week accepted the title of community manager for the 1942 Christmas seal sale which opens November 23. They are Superintendent F. C. Burgess of the Akron school, Superintendent J. Ivan Niergarth of the Cass City school, Superintendent G. R. Bogan of the Fairgrove school, Superin- tendent Carleton F. Bates of the Fostoria school, E. O. Holmquist of the Reese school, and Norman Bowles of the Kingston school. Theo J. Werle, executive secre- tary of the Michigan Tuberculosis Association, who appointed com- munity managers for the annual Christmas seal sale, stated that this is the most vitally important sale in the 35 year history of the voluntary tuberculosis movement. He urged all citizens to increase their usual purchase of seals this year. "They are the best tuberculosis insurance you can buy," he said. "In preventing tuberculosis, they also live up to their motto and "Protect Your Home from Tuber- culosis." Because war has always added to the tuberculosis problem, medi- cal authorities predict a rise in the disease in our country. Malnutri- tion, over-crowded housing, and strain all take their toll of human strength, leaving the body too little resistance to fight the tuber- culosis germs. Already England reports that tuberculosis deaths At the annual meeting of the Tuscola County 4-H Club Council held in the court house on No- vember 3, the following officers were elected: John Ziegler, teacher in the Richville Public School, pres- ident; Francis Ode of Mayville, vice president; Miss Dorothy Harrington recording secretary. The county agricultural agent is the secretary- treasurer of this organization. Ben Westrate, district 4-H Club leader, is an ex-officio member.

Silas Parker, uncle of the bride and groom, was the officiat- ing clergyman at the wedding of Miss Edythe Shuefelt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shuefelt, of Owendale, and Mr. Ervin Andrews, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Andrews of Owendale. The marriage was consummated at the Canboro Lat- ter Day Saints' Church on Satur- day, Nov. 21. The couple were attended by Elmer Andrews, brother of the groom, and Miss Wanda Arnott of Owendale, niece of the bride. The bride was gowned in an Alice blue silk dress with gold trimmings and the bridesmaid in brown silk with gold trimmings. Wilda Arnott was flower girl and Donald Arnott, the ring bearer. Bouquets of flowers were used in the church decorations. Following the ceremony, a re- ception was held in the basement of the church. About 200 were present. Ice cream and wedding cake were served. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews will re- side on the groom's farm in Grant Township, on Canboro Road. urer. These officers, pastors of local churches, and J. I. Niergarth, Mack Little, Glen McClorey, Herbert Maharg, and E. W. Kercher are the members of the board of di- rectors. The December meeting of the Community Club has been ad- vanced one week and will be held Tuesday evening, December 1, rather than the 8th, as regularly cheduled. The change in date has been made in order to bring to the local group a combined lecture- demonstration by Dr. Luther Gable, nationally known radium physicist, who was unable to be present at the regular date. Dr. Gable, formerly head of the department of Radium and Radio- activity at the Detroit Institute of Technology, is making a nation- wide tour in which he is appearing before school, college, and club groups presenting a popularized lecture on this most fascinating subject. He brings with him his own equipment and illustrates his presentation with actual labora- tory demonstrations. He has made a particularly thorough study of "radium hunting" and will describe methods in use to locate lost radi- um needles. The author of several books and a radio serial dealing with science subjects, Dr. Gable is noted as an interesting speaker who makes the story of man's scientific progress sound like a romantic tale of adventure. New officers for the ensuing year will be presented at this meeting. It is hoped that a large attendance of the club's members will be able to be present. The ladies of the Bethel Church will serve the ban- quet dinner promptly at 7:30 p. m. An added feature of the eve- ning's program will be the singing of well known patriotic and mar- tial airs, led by Charles Keen.

James Turner Died Sunday Afternoon in a Grayling Hospital. To Pick 35 Course President Roosevelt ordered the lend-lease administration to make available as soon as possible, food, clothing and weapons of war to the armed forces and the citizens of the areas in North Africa, occupied by U. S. troops. "No one will go hun- gry or without other means of live- lihood in any territory occupied by the United Nations," the President said, "if it is humanly within our power to make necessary supplies available to them. Weapons also will be supplied to the people of these territories to hasten the de- feat of our common enemies". The late November 13 allied forces had extended /the Algerian zone of occupation as far east as Bone, 50 miles from Tunisia. When French destroyers at Casablanca put up strong resistance against American naval units protecting U. S. troop landings there, the U. S. surface forces and dive bombers destroyed an entire flotilla of French destroyers and light craft and left the 35,000-ton French battleship, Hean Bart, a burning hulk. All hostilities in French North Africa ceased November 11, 77 hours after the U. S. offensive began. In many places the local population and U. S. troops joined in Armistice Day ceremonies. The War Department said American casualities were light. The President described the African campaign as a smaller second front launched in lieu of a Suffering from shock and loss of blood after he was wounded in the left leg by a rifle bullet Saturday afternoon in Montmorency County, James Turner, 41, of R. R. 1, Caro, died in a Grayling hospital Sunday at 2:40 p. m. Mr. Turner was in a party of deer hunters in which Ira Tibbits of Hillman, Douglas Robinson and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Reid of Caro were members. The party had" loaded their guns and started up an old railroad grade through a swamp with Mrs. Reid following behind Turner. Her 30-30 rifle accidentally" discharged and struck Turner in the leg. Turner lost a .great deal of blood on the 50-mile trip to the hospital where doctors found it necessary to amputate the leg. Mrs. Reid told officers that she was only about 10 rods from the car when the gun discharged and that she didn't know what caused it to fire. Robinson said that he was near Mrs. Reid when she loaded the gun and that he saw her put the hammer on safety. Funeral services for Mr. Turner iwere held Wednesday afternoon at the home of his sister, Mrs. Ray Gibbs, in Caro, Dr. E. Ray Will- son officiating. Burial was in Ell- ington Cemetery. He was married June 25, 1925, Turn to page 5, please. Scholarships to enable 35 girls to enroll and attend without cost the winter short courses at Michi- gan State College are announced by R. W.

Body of Duck Hunter Found in the Bay Lee Hugh Brown, 27, of Saginaw disappeared Saturday afternoon while hunting ducks and wild geese from a floating blind near Fish Point. Searchers dragging Sagi- naw Bay waters found his body Sunday afternoon % mile north- west of Fish Point in Akron Town- ship. Coroner Lee Huston said death was due to accidental drowning. Passed Away Monday William Wallace Withey, 82, a pioneer citizen of Elkland Town- ship, passed away early Monday morning at his home on East Main St., Cass City. He had been poorly for some time. Funeral services were held at 2 p. m. Wednesday from the Keehn Funeral Home. The Rev. E. E. Gauss, pastor of the Free Metho- dist Church at Wilmot, officiated. Burial was in Elkland Cemetery. William Wallace Withey was bom in Ontario Feb. 2, 1860, and came to this community when a small boy. On January 27, 1883, he was married to Miss Ellen Thornton and to this union two children, Fred and Edith, were born. "Their mother passed away July 8, 1892, and some time later Mr. Withey was united in marriage with Miss Chella Pettit, who cared for the two children until they grew to manhood and womanhood. All three have preceded the husband and father in death. On Sept. 27, 1927, he married Mrs. Wm. Patch, who survives him. He also leaves a brother, Perry Withey, of Flint, three grandchil- dren and three great grandchil- dren. Mr. Withey lived on a farm north of Elkland Cemetery for many years, but moved about 45 years ago to the residence in Cass City where he passed away. He was a member of the Ever- green Free Methodist Church. The government is asking the American farmer to dedicate the remaining weeks of 1942 to an in- tensified scrap hunt. In a telegram to the Chronicle received Wednesday morning from Chairman Donald Nelson at Wash- ington, he says: "Steel mills need more heavy scrap and the farms are one of the best sources of this type of metal. All salvage committees are being instructed to continue to make available to the farmer all their transportation facilities and manpower and to cooperate in every possible way. The nation is looking to the American farmer." Fuel Oil Dealers May Accept lOU's Dealers who have customers for fuel oil and kerosene may accept orders on lOU's (notes for coup- ons) to Dec. 1, the county ration board has been informed. By this system, consumers may buy fuel oil from their dealers by signing a written promise to turn in the coupons when they are received. Applications for gasoline ration books B and C and books for trucks and tractors may be filed with Mrs. E. B. Schwaderer at Cass City, Wesley Downing at Gage- town, Mrs. Alex Marshall at King- ston, or Walter Achenbach at Un- ionville. Persons who have not surren- dered their certificates of regis- tration should bring them so that the book number may be noted on the back. Speaking of reasons why we should be thankful: All records in Michigan for holi- day buying are likely to be broken during the next few weeks. There is more money in circulation, more employment, higher payrolls, and bigger family incomes than ever before. In scores of industrial towns the factories are humming with plush war orders. Pay checks are being swollen by overtime. The approach of more rationing, together with growing shortages of merchandise, has precipitated a consumers' rush to get products while they are still available. Opening of the "second front" in Africa and news of the out- standing achievements made by the U. S.-made tanks in Egypt were welcomed by managers of several Michigan war plants. One plant has been manufactur- ing heavy tanks. Because of short- age of a few-vital parts, hundreds of the assembled machines have not been sent to seaboard ports for shipment to our fighting fronts. It's hard to convince a worker that he should stay on the job and forego the pleasure of deer hunt- ing or frequent absences, when the government' apparently is in no hurry to get the machine when the worker is through with it. Hoarding of surplus labor by management, fearful of a disad- vantage in the arms race, and over- absenteeism by labor are two of the most common complaints to be heard at Lansing these days.

been made in order to bring to thelocal group a combined lecture-demonstration by Dr. Luther Gable,nationally known radium physicist,who was unable to be present atthe regular date.

Dr. Gable, formerly head of thedepartment of Radium and Radio-activity at the Detroit Institute ofTechnology, is making a nation-wide tour in which he is appearingbefore school, college, and clubgroups presenting a popularizedlecture on this most fascinatingsubject. He brings with him hisown equipment and illustrates hispresentation with actual labora-tory demonstrations. He has madea particularly thorough study of"radium hunting" and will describemethods in use to locate lost radi-um needles. The author of severalbooks and a radio serial dealingwith science subjects, Dr. Gable isnoted as an interesting speakerwho makes the story of man'sscientific progress sound like aromantic tale of adventure.

New officers for the ensuing yearwill be presented at this meeting.It is hoped that a large attendanceof the club's members will be ableto be present. The ladies of theBethel Church will serve the ban-quet dinner promptly at 7:30 p. m.

An added feature of the eve-ning's program will be the singingof well known patriotic and mar-tial airs, led by Charles Keen.

President Roosevelt ordered thelend-lease administration to makeavailable as soon as possible, food,clothing and weapons of war to thearmed forces and the citizens of theareas in North Africa, occupied byU. S. troops. "No one will go hun-gry or without other means of live-lihood in any territory occupied bythe United Nations," the Presidentsaid, "if it is humanly within ourpower to make necessary suppliesavailable to them. Weapons alsowill be supplied to the people ofthese territories to hasten the de-feat of our common enemies".

The late November 13 alliedforces had extended /the Algerianzone of occupation as far east asBone, 50 miles from Tunisia. WhenFrench destroyers at Casablancaput up strong resistance againstAmerican naval units protectingU. S. troop landings there, the U.

Coroner Lee Huston said deathwas due to accidental drowning.

Passed Away MondayWilliam Wallace Withey, 82, a

pioneer citizen of Elkland Town-ship, passed away early Mondaymorning at his home on East MainSt., Cass City. He had been poorlyfor some time.

Funeral services were held at 2p. m. Wednesday from the KeehnFuneral Home. The Rev. E. E.Gauss, pastor of the Free Metho-dist Church at Wilmot, officiated.Burial was in Elkland Cemetery.

William Wallace Withey wasbom in Ontario Feb. 2, 1860, andcame to this community when asmall boy.

On January 27, 1883, he wasmarried to Miss Ellen Thorntonand to this union two children,Fred and Edith, were born. "Theirmother passed away July 8, 1892,and some time later Mr. Witheywas united in marriage with MissChella Pettit, who cared for thetwo children until they grew tomanhood and womanhood. Allthree have preceded the husbandand father in death.

On Sept. 27, 1927, he marriedMrs. Wm. Patch, who survives him.He also leaves a brother, PerryWithey, of Flint, three grandchil-dren and three great grandchil-dren.

Mr. Withey lived on a farm northof Elkland Cemetery for manyyears, but moved about 45 yearsago to the residence in Cass Citywhere he passed away.

He was a member of the Ever-green Free Methodist Church.

The government is asking theAmerican farmer to dedicate theremaining weeks of 1942 to an in-tensified scrap hunt.

In a telegram to the Chroniclereceived Wednesday morning fromChairman Donald Nelson at Wash-ington, he says:

"Steel mills need more heavyscrap and the farms are one ofthe best sources of this type ofmetal. All salvage committees arebeing instructed to continue tomake available to the farmer alltheir transportation facilities andmanpower and to cooperate inevery possible way. The nation islooking to the American farmer."

Fuel Oil DealersMay Accept lOU's

Dealers who have customers forfuel oil and kerosene may acceptorders on lOU's (notes for coup-ons) to Dec. 1, the county rationboard has been informed. By thissystem, consumers may buy fueloil from their dealers by signing awritten promise to turn in thecoupons when they are received.

Applications for gasoline rationbooks B and C and books for trucksand tractors may be filed withMrs. E. B. Schwaderer at CassCity, Wesley Downing at Gage-town, Mrs. Alex Marshall at King-ston, or Walter Achenbach at Un-ionville.

Persons who have not surren-dered their certificates of regis-tration should bring them so thatthe book number may be noted onthe back.

Speaking of reasons why weshould be thankful:

All records in Michigan for holi-day buying are likely to be brokenduring the next few weeks. Thereis more money in circulation, moreemployment, higher payrolls, andbigger family incomes than everbefore.

In scores of industrial towns thefactories are humming with plushwar orders. Pay checks are beingswollen by overtime.

The approach of more rationing,together with growing shortagesof merchandise, has precipitated aconsumers' rush to get productswhile they are still available.

Opening of the "second front"in Africa and news of the out-standing achievements made bythe U. S.-made tanks in Egyptwere welcomed by managers ofseveral Michigan war plants.

One plant has been manufactur-ing heavy tanks. Because of short-age of a few-vital parts, hundredsof the assembled machines havenot been sent to seaboard ports forshipment to our fighting fronts.

It's hard to convince a workerthat he should stay on the job andforego the pleasure of deer hunt-ing or frequent absences, when thegovernment' apparently is in nohurry to get the machine when theworker is through with it.

Hoarding of surplus labor bymanagement, fearful of a disad-vantage in the arms race, and over-absenteeism by labor are two ofthe most common complaints to beheard at Lansing these days.

Concluded from page one.convinced that many war plantsare over-manned with draft-ageworkers, that management is try-ing to hedge as much as possibleagainst anticipated draft losses,that women can replace most menand do the job just as well.

On management's side you hearthis complaint: Organized labor islimiting production, compellingworkers to slow down, and is in-different to frequent absences byworkers. "We can't win the waron a 40-hour week," officials • in-sist.

According to two British laborleaders who recently visited anumber of American plants, theaverage American worker is notaware of the danger confrontingthe democracies.

Arthur Stace, editor, Ann ArborNews, makes this observation:

"While paying the highest tri-bute to the magnificent physicalestablishments connected with thejob of building weapons, the twovisitors observed that the averageAmerican war worker seemed tolack the sense of urgency thatmotivates British workers to all-out production.

"Still more recently, an Ameri-can reporter in Britain contributeda somewhat similar observation.His account did, however, em-phasize a slightly different aspectof the situation. It related thatafter having lived together underthe pressure of bombs and underthe threat of imminent attack, theBritish had acquired two valuablequalities: steadfast national sol'iUdarity and a willingness to sacri-fice. In the face of perpetual dan-ger, the nation has drawn closertogether and individuals have losta large part of their reluctance to^o without things."

Wouldn't you like to buy a WarBond with an official validatingstamp, "December 7, 1942"?

Frank N. Isbey, Frank Murphy'schoice for manager of the Michi-gan State Fair, who is chairmanof the Michigan war savings com-mittee, invites Michigan citizensto "remember Pearl Harbor" bybuying an extra bond betweenDecember 1 and 7.

A commemorating date of Dec.7 will be stamped on each bondpurchased- during that period, ifthe purchaser requests it.

Within twelve weeks 'after en-listment, 300 Michigan volunteersin the U. S. Marines will be ontheir way to battle, presumably inthe southern Pacific war zone.

This fact, together with the167th anniversary of the foundingof the Marine Corps, prompted agroup of chain store executives inDetroit to arrange a Christmasparty in San Diego for the Michi-gan lads.

Each youth will receive a boxcontaining cakes, cookies, ciga-rettes, razors, belts, etc.

Cooperating companies are theAtlantic & Pacific Tea Company,Sears Eoebuck, Kroger Grocery &Baking Company, S. S. Kresge,and Cunningham Drug Stores.

Eepeal of war time for Michigan,the most western state to be with-in the eastern time zone, is a goodbet for the 1943 state legislature.

Campaigning candidates foundthis pledge to be a vote-gettingweapon in bidding for farmers'support.

The last legislature repealed theadvanced war time, only, to havethe governor veto the bill.

Streamlining the state legisla-tive job into ,two annual sessions,instead- of the biennial seige atLansing that usually goes well in-to May or June, is one of the ob-jectives of Governor-elect Harry F.Kelly.

Other governors have had simi-lar dreams—economy in govern-ment, for example—and tit remainsto be seen whether Kelly can de-liver the goods.

It is his conviction that an an-nual budget would be more effi-cient. Hence the annual sessionproposal.

Advertise it in the Chronicle.

The church is the greatest institu-tion in all the world, with the mostwidespread membership and influ-ence. That is true from a purelysecular or worldly standpoint. Thenwhen we realize that here is morethan a human organization, for itis in fact a divine organism; thatit is the means through which Godis now manifesting this power to-ward men, we see the supreme im-portance of understanding thechurch and our relationship to it.

This week we stress the missionof the church. We note seven things.

I. Holiness of Life (Matt. 18:15-17).In a time when general standards

of decency and honesty are low,and no one wants to be his broth-er's keeper, the church needs to bereminded that part of its missionis to maintain holiness in life andthe relationship of one to another.

Notice that man's attitude towardhis fellowman is first a matter forpersonal attention, then it becomesof real interest to the church, andif no response is found there, theoffending individual is excluded andput in»vthe hands of God. Be sure toobserve that all this is done to"gain" or win him back, not for re-venge or in bitterness.

II. Witness in Divine Power (Acts1:8).

The witness bears testimony tothat which he has experienced, andin the case of Christian experiencehe is assured of divine power incarrying out his sacred task.

The world would have laughed(and possibly did) at the idea of asmall group of humble believersmaking the gospel effective simplyby telling others about the Saviour—but it worked, because God's pow-er was in it.

III. Unity in Faith and Practice(Acts 2:42).

The early church had not yet beensplit up by the philosophies of menand the vagaries of doctrine, whichhave since divided God's people. Itwas His purpose that His peopleshould be one in Him, something weshould recall before we divide themjust to promote some theory of in-terpretation.

Unity is not only a matter of be-lief, it must reach into the practiceof daily life. They were steadfastnot only in doctrine, but in com-munion and prayer. A bit moreunity there might bring us closertogether in belief.

IV. Service, Spiritual and Social(Acts 6:1-4).

The church rightly put the empha-sis on the spiritual. The leaderswho had gifts for ministry of theWord did not permit themselves tobe diverted into social service. Toomany in the church have failed atthat point. Even the good may bethe mortal enemy of the best.

At the same time the early churchdid not neglect social needs. Menwere appointed to care for them.In all too many instances the mod-ern church has failed to minister tothe social needs even of its own peo-ple and has weakly (and one fearsgladly) turned them over to socialagencies. What a pity!

V. Love—in Deed as Well as inWord (Acts 11:27-30).

Talking about the need of others,wishing them God's blessing, say-ing a desultory prayer asking Godto bless and help them, is not suf-ficient, in fact it is not Christian atall (see James 2:14-17).

Love acts. It gives. It serves.It proves faith by works. It trans-lates the gospel into a language anunbelieving world can. understand.

VI. Obedience to the Holy Spirit(Acts 13:1-3).

God has certain plans for thework of the church in the world,and be sure that they are no smallor indifferent plans. His mightyagent in bringing His will to passin the world is the third person ofthe Trinity, the Holy Spirit. If thechurch will respond to His guidanceand be subject to His control, thework of God may go on unhindered.But just there, Christian friends, thechurch has most ingloriously failed.

The early church was directed ofthe Holy Spirit to set apart Pauland Barnabas for the work of mis-sionaries and evangelists. Knowingas we do the marvelous results oftheir ministry, we shudder at thethought of what might have hap-pened if the church had disobeyed,the Holy Spirit that day!

VII. Fellowship (I John 1:3).Here is the great secret of spiritu-

al life and growth—Christian fellow-ship. And notice with care the placefor it is in the church. If we do notcome to the church we deprive our-selves and others of the opportunityfor fellowship. The matter of churchattendance (and twice on Sunday isnot too much) needs to be put onour consciences lest we by our ab-sence bear an anti-church testimonybefore our neighbors. But evenmore important is our own need offellowship with God's people.

ington in June, it was decided amajor offensive across the Channelcould not have been started untilnext year at the earliest. TheAfrican offensive was decided uponby the end of June, by late Julythe number of men necessary andpoints of attack had been deter-mined, and the approximate datewas set by the end of August.

War Secretary Stimson said thatdespite the fact that the Germansmust have been aware some sort oflarge operation was in immediateprospect in North Africa, Axis ef-forts to intercept it with numeroussubmarines were futile. All U. S.forces moved to their points ofattack, only one transport was tor-pedoed, and troops from this shipproceeded in their landing craftmore than 100 miles to their des-tination. Under Secretary of WarPatterson reported 700,000 differ-ent items of equipment and sup-plies were required for the NorthAfrican operation. Navy SecretaryKnox said it took five to seventimes as many ships to carry menand goods around Africa to theMiddle East as it would to carrythem straight through Gibraltarand into the Mediterranean.

In a 10-hour offensive on Japshore positions on GuadalcanalNovember 12, air and surface forcesof the navy destroyed at least 30and probably more out of 75 land-ing boats found at Tassafaronga,shot down 30 out of 31 Jap planesattempting to attack U. S. ships,silenced shore batteries and startedlarge fires. The U. S. heavy cruiser,San Francisco, was damaged slight-ly and 30 members of the crewwere killed when a disabled Japplane crashed into it. The U. S.destroyer, Buchanan, was damagedand five of her crew were killed bya 5-inch shell from an enemy shorebattery. A navy communique inthe afternoon of Sept. 14 said thenaval engagements in the Solo-mon's area were still in progress.

Gen. MacArthur's headquartersreported November 14 that U. S.bombers scored hits on twomore Jap cruisers and damaged anenemy transport at their Buin-Faisi base. In New Guinea, Aus-tralian troops wiped out the remain-der of a Japanese force in the Oivi-Gorari sector and drew within 45miles of the enemy base at Buna.U. S. submarines reported the sink-ing of seven more transport andauxiliary ships and the probablesinking of a destroyer in far East-ern waters. The sinking of fivemore Allied merchantmen in theAtlantic during September andOctober were announced.

The President signed legislationlowering the draft age to 18 years.At the same time, he announceda committee of educators, workingwith the War and Navy Depart-ments, would make a study of steps"to enable the young men whoseeducation has been interrupted toresume their schooling and affordequal opportunity for the trainingand education of other young menof ability after their service to the

armed forces has come to an end."He also said that in the near futurea plan will be announced providingutilization during the war of faeil- 'ities of certain colleges and uni-versities to train a limited numberof men of the armed forces forhighly specialized duties.

Admiral Leathy, Chief of Staffto President Roosevelt, said air-craft carriers, large and small, >escort vessels, landing boats, andother kinds of naval units, areabout to be built "with a timing•almost equal to the pre-war massproduction of motor cars." He said'the U. S. is building submarines ina little more than one year, twice asfast as before the war—aircraftcarriers are being built in 17months—battleships, that used torequire five years, now take three--destroyers require six months, one-third of the former time,

Economic stabilization DirectorByrnes said the ceiling on farmwages has been lifted until Agri-culture Secretary Wickard can de-termine—(1) the effect of farmwages on farm production in themore critical farm labor shortageareas, and (2) where increases infarm wages may threaten to causean increase in the price ceiling onfarm products. The first agri-cultural marketing administrationcontract for dehydrated pork forshipment overseas—calling for ap-proximately 110,000 pounds, to beprocessed and delivered within thenext few weeks—was awarded tothe Midwestern Meat Packer. TheAgriculture Department said theuse of hybrid seed added 300,000,000bushels to the 1942 corn crop.

Pack a Lunch That Gives Them a Lift(See Recipes Below,)

Victory Lunch Box

How's the vim, vigor and vitamin-content on the put-up lunches for

your school chil-dren and defenseworkers? You maynot realize it, butthe three "v's"have an important

. bearing on theirintelligence quo-

tient, for good, well balanced foodmakes both child and adult fit for-whatever the day may bring. Apoorly nourished body isn't recep-tive to learning exposure, nor is itcapable of meeting the intensive re-quirements of physical or mentalwork.

Lunches should pull no punches.Just because they are compact, andit's difficult to have as much varietyand hot food as when you are pre-paring the lunch in your own kitchen,is no reason for skipping over thelunch lightly, in the hope you canmake up these shortages at dinner.This meal in the middle of the dayshould take care of a third of theday's food requirements and as suchis not a matter to be consideredlightly.

Yes, it's a challenge, homemak-ers! You may bake the best cakein miles around or turn out a roastthat's proud to behold, or a dessertthat's purely ambrosial, but if you•don't put up a lunch that your child•or defense worker husband eats withgusto, you won't get my vote forexcellence.

Now, let's get to work! Sandwiches-are a standby, but let's make themsomething more than peanut-butterand jelly or cheese between a couple•slices of bread.

Sandwich Ideas.Sliced or chopped hard-cooked

-eggs, combined with pickle andmoistened with salad dressing.

Sliced tongue or ham with mus-tard or horseradish.

Liverwurst, mashed and seasonedwith catsup.

Chopped ham, chopped hardcooked eggs, minced green pepper,cooked salad dressing.

Cream cheese, grated yellowcheese, chopped pimiento, choppedgreen olives, salad dressing tomoisten.

Ground corned beef, choppedpickle, and chopped ripe olivesblended with mayonnaise.

Peanut butter and honey or creamcheese and honey.

Meat loaf, lettuce, rye bread.Have a hot dish, too. This makes

lor top-notch efficiency besides giv-ing the luncheon a hearty and sub-stantial angle that your children ordefense-plant husband will welcome.

How to do? Simply use a thermosbottle for soup or a hot drink orunwaxed paper cups and containersfor hot foods. Packing the kind oflunch your family can work onshould be your aim—an aim, whichis last gaining prominence because \hours lost out of the plant or by Ichildren from school by illness, jmean sabotage on the nutritionfront.

LYNN SAYS:Ideas in a Box: Surprises are

as welcome in a lunch box as ona birthday. Try adding a fewstuffed prunes . (with cream,cheese, honey and peanut butteror da*es) just as an extra. Itwill go over big, as will a fewsalted nuts, a bit of stuffed celeryand whole carrots.

Dress up lunch with a perkysalad. They'll like cooked orcanned green beans with cookedor canned carrots with lettuce andFrench dressing. Shredded cab-bage with shredded carrots,strips of green pepper; gratedcarrots, diced pineapple and rai-sins; canned peas, chopped onion,hard-cooked egg. Devilled eggsare nice, too—with a touch ofpaprika for color.

Creamed meat or fish in thehollow of a bun which has beenscooped out, and the top of thebun held on together with a tooth-pick is good. Try creamed driedbeef, creamed sausages, tuna fishor salmon salad, or creamedstuffed eggs.

TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS:

The price of electric service is low.It is one of the few things about the housethat cost less than they used to cost. Twentyyears ago the average price was 5.79 cents;today it is 3.16 cents. That is nearly halfprice — a bargain sale every day.

There are many reasons why electricityIS Cheap. Our power plants are moreefficient than they used to be. Our custo-mers have helped to reduce prices by usingmore electricity — for better lighting, forcooking, for heating water, for dozens ofjobs. We have learned how to do our partof the work better, have thought of manyplans to save time and money, like thetwo-way radio sets for our trouble crews,and so on.

So there have been repeated rate re-ductions—right in the face of risingprices for almost all of the things which wehave to buy to make electricity. It is arecord of good service and of lower andlower rates, of which we are very proud.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THEHEMLOCK TSEE

When hope goes out, despair comes in,And then the battle's hard to win.

"T\O YOU know the meaning of*-̂ the word despair? It means thefeeling that there is no hope, notthe least bit of hope. It is a dread-ful feeling. Bobby Coon knows allabout it. It is a feeling which makesyou want to let go and not try anymore, or else do something verydesperate, which means somethingwhich you would never think of do-ing if you had any hope at all.

When Bobby Coon, looking downfrom his hiding place near the top ofthe young hemlock tree in the GreenForest, saw that the hunters knewby the barking of the dogs that he

Up went Farmer Brown's Boy anddown, down came Bobby Coon.

was in that tree a terr|ble fearclutched at his heart. Still he didhave a little hope. He knew by theway they walked round and roundthe tree that they couldn't see him.The branches of the young hem-lock were thick and the light fromMistress Moon made the shadowsvery black. It was where thebranches were thickest and theshadows were blackest that Bobbywas hiding. So as he watched thehunters walk round and round, allthe time looking up, he knew thatthey couldn't see him and in spiteof his terrible fear a little hope be-\gan to grow in his heart.

But when at last Farmer Brown'sBoy began to climb the tree hopewent out and despair came in. IfFarmer Brown's Boy kept on hisway to the top he was bound- to findhim. Bobby knew that. And whatcould he do? Nothing. Just nothing.Anyway that is the way it seemed.Of course he might jump to theground, but there were those dread-ful dogs waiting for him. If there

had been but one it would have beendifferent. There might have beenjust a wee chance that he couldget away. But with two there sim-ply was no chance at all. If only hehad chosen a tree a little neareito other trees so that he could havecrossed from one to another. Bu1there wasn't a tree near enough tothis one for him to do that.

Nearer and nearer came Farme:Brown's Boy. Bobby's heart seemedas if it would pound to pieces withfright. He felt so hopeless. He keptstill as long as he could. Then, al-most without knowing what he wasdoing, he began to climb down. Yes,sir, Bobby Coon began to climbdown. You see he just could not sitstill a second longer, and as hecouldn't go up he had to go down.

Up went Farmer Brown's Boy anddown came Bobby Coon. One wason one side of the tree and one onthe other. Was Farmer Brown'sBoy going to be stupid enough tolet Boboy Coon pass without seeinghim? Bobby almost held his breathas he got so near that he seemedto be looking right into the eyes olFarmer Brown's Boy. He knew thenthat Farmer Brown's Boy did notsee him. There was no doubt aboutit. Bobby didn't know whether togo on or to stay where he was andfight as best he could if FarmerBrown's Boy tried to hurt him. Hedrew back his lips so as to show histeeth, his sharp, white teeth, andhe started to growl. And just atthat very minute he saw somethingin the eyes of Farmer Brown's Boythat made him change his mind. Hedidn't know why, but somehow hehad a feeling that Farmer Brown'sBoy didn't want to hurt him anddidn't mean to hurt him.

Bobby kept right on down oneside of the tree while FarmerBrown's Boy kept on up the other.Bobby waited until he saw a chanceand then softly dropped to theground and ran. He knew it wouldn'tbe long before those dogs found hiatracks and it wasn't. But it gavehim time enough to reach and climbanother tree, a great chestnut thaiwould not be easy for the huntersto climb.

Farmer Brown's Boy looked veryfoolish as he climbed down fromthe young hemlock tree to join theothers. At least he tried to lookfoolish as the other hunters madefun of him for letting Bobby Coonget away. He wouldn't for the worldhave them suspect that he hadjoined them in their hunt so as tcsave Bobby Coon. No one wouldhave guessed it to have seen theeagerness with which he led theway to the tree at the foot of whichthe dogs were now barking,(Associated Newspapers—WNU Service,)

Protected by Circle ofSteel and Air Power.

NEW YORK.—United States basesestablished in the Pacific at SantaElena on the westernmost point ofthe Ecuadorian mainland, and onEcuador's Galapagos islands, com-pletes a veritable defense ring »ofsteel and air power around the Pan-ama canal.

Outlying bastions for the protec-tion of the great Panama waterway,so vital not only to United Statesinterests but also to many of theSouth American countries, now dotthe arcs of a great circle.

One swings put from Cuba, on thenorthern edge of the Caribbean,down to the very shores of the SouthAmerican continent.

The other curves westward, north-ward, then eastward from SantaElena, just below the equator, em-bracing the Galapagos archipelagoin the Pacific west of the 90th merid-ian, west longitude, and about 1,000miles from the canal.

The Panama canal lies somewhatto the south of center of this imagi-

i nary circle, which traverses or in-j eludes 10 of the 11 American repub-! lies aligned with the United StatesI in the conflict against the Axis, the

Western hemisphere possessions ofEuropean belligerents, where Unit-ed States bases are now located,and some of the American nationsthat have severed relations with theAxis and which pledged themselvesto whole-hearted defense co-opera-tion.

Bases in Cuba.Within this circle lie the following

territories and cquntries in many ofwhich strong points exist or arenearing completion:

1. Cuba, with a great U. S. navalbase on Guantanamo bay, and U. S.air bases under construction at SanAntonio and at two other points.

Cotton strainers, on the otherhand, inexpensive as well as ef-ficient, cannot possibly harbor germsbecause they are discarded aftereach use.

Dairy experts make the point thatwhile the straining of milk is essen-tial, it doesn't take the place ofcleanliness in the production of milk.Cleaned milk, they point out, isnever as desirable as clean milk.It is, therefore, highly important forthe farmer to take every precautionto see that undesirable matter doesnot get into his milk, since the bac-teria carried on such particles areto a large extent responsible for off-flavors, excessive sourness and gen-era! decomposition in -both milk andcream.

Trail Blazers for LandingOf American Forces in

The Aleutians.

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DE-FENSE COMMAND. — A rough,tough band of Alaskan scouts, whocan go farther on a chunk of driedsalmon than most men can go on fullfield rations, drew praise as theheroic trail blazers for the landingof American forces on one of theAndreanof islands in the Aleutians.

The scouts are home now, gettinga bit of relaxation by climbingmountains or shooting mountaingoats, so their story can be told.

They are known officially as thecombat intelligence platoon of theAlaska Defense command, but thedesignation leaves Alaskans cold.Refer to them as "Castner's Cut-throats" and the natives know thefabulous outfit of which you speak.

They faced a stormy and treach-erous sea at night in rubber boats;they slept on a rocky coast withoutfires or the protection of as muchas a pup tent in the driving rain,and they went ashore on a foggyisland when they didn't know butwhat the enemy might be there inforce.

Named for Colonel."Castner's Cutthroats" got their

name from their commanding offi-cer, Col. Lawrence Castner, son ofthe famed Maj. Gen. Joseph C."Bull" Castner of the First Worldwar.

The colonel, as a veteran Alaskanofficer who knows the far stretchesof the territory intimately, laudsthem as the greatest unit in thearmy. Beside them, he contends,the Commandos seem soft. Thebackbone of the platoon is composedof volunteers from the Alaskan backcountry, both natives and whites.

Late in August, after months oftraining, the scouts set out acrossBering sea for their island destina-tion, with homemade boats lashedto the decks of their vessels and rub-ber boats inside, ready for inflation.

Nobody then was sure whether theJapanese might have a large forceon the island or a small one, readyto call in the bombers from Kiska.Their boats couldn't even enter theuncharted and tricky harbor. Highseas washed over the decks. Thehomemade boats had failed to standthe trip.

Desperate Battle.So, in the dark of the niht, the

scouts set out in their awkward rub-ber boats, fighting a wild sea thatwas running crosswise to theircourse. The colonel himself joinedin the rowing and paddling.

It was a desperate battle to reachthe barely visible point. There wasconstant danger of being sweptmiles away.

One boat made only a few yardswhen one of its two air sacks ex-ploded, cutting buoyancy in half.As the men paddled frantically toget back to the vessel the secondsack let go, and they were throwninto the icy water. They were pulledout safely.

The scouts reached shore andburied their boats at low tide andspread out on patrols along thebeach, where the incoming waterwould blot out all daylight evidenceof their movements. Methodically,but never knowing what dangermight be lurking around the peaks,they started their survey. Theypicked out possible landing fieldsites and gun emplacements. Someof them covered 40 miles a day.

When the troops came in force lat-er they were ready. They showedthe soldiers where to build roadsand took them to camp sites at apace some officers complained wastoo fast for the troops.

Troops' Servant ProblemDraws Warning in India

NEW DELHI, INDIA.—A warningto United States soldiers that theymust not allow the cheapness andplentifulness of Indian servants toundermine traditional Americanself-reliance, is contained in Round-up, the weekly 12-page newspapernow published here for Americanexpeditionary forces in India andChina.

A brightly edited tabloid, Round-up features articles designed to helpnewly arrived soldiers understandthe Indian people and their customs.

Pointing out that Indian servantsare naturally ambitious to makethemselves indispensable, Roundupwarns United States officers andmen:

"Personal servants probably willnot be allowed to accompany troopsin the field. If you have forgottenhow to clean and check your can-teen, make your bunk, shine yourshoes and do other personal essen-tials for yourself, you will be theloser."

Immune Heifers ObtainedThrough Tills Process

Because of the war and the de-sire to step up milk production inline with the Food for Freedom pro-gram, dairy farmers have adoptedcalfhood vaccination as a means ofcontrolling Bang's disease morequickly than they would have in or-dinary times.

Calfhood vaccination makes itpossible for herd owners to replaceold, unprofitable cows with heifersimmune from brucellosis', or Bang'sdisease, Dr. George E. Taylor, ex-tension dairyman at Rutgers uni-versity, reminds herd owners. How-ever, the answer to the question ofwhether vaccination is the bestmethod of controlling the disease,depends upon many things, Dr. Tay-lor says.

"As an example, U. S. depart-ment of agriculture officialspoint to many farmers who havetried the test - and - slaughtermethod and have not been ableto eliminate the disease fromtheir herds completely," he re-ports. "These farmers frequent-ly are in communities wherebrucellosis is prevalent. And inall probability, calfhood vacci-nation would be recommended."On the other hand, a farmer may

have only one or two cases of bru-cellosis in his herd. If he lives in

This small herd, part of a largerone, is the kind that has to bewatched for any outbreak of thedreaded Bang's disease.

a community which is comparative-ly free from the disease, he and hisadvisers often conclude that the bestthing to do is to get rid of the re-acting animals, make a thoroughclean-up, and then keep close watchfor any reappearance of the trouble.

"Also, there are circum-stances which lead farmers toadopt a combination of calfhoodvaccination and test-and-slaugh-ter methods in their control ofbrucellosis."So if you have brucellosis 01

HopsThe relatively unimportant hops

crop contains hop oil, hop resins andacids, Hop tannin, hop bitters andhop wax, but few of these possibili-ties have been converted to indus-trial uses. Hops are used mainlyin brewing malt beverages wheretheir flavoring and preserving quali-ties are of particular value. Ameri-can hops are of high quality but afew individual brewers prefer to im-port varieties which have specialproperties lacking in the domestichops. This makes the market vari-able and in some years, 5,000,000pounds of hops have been left un-harvested 'when the price is low andlabor is scarce.

The yellowish aromatic substancecalled "lupulin" contained in hops,has some outlet in medicines'.

Research is under way to recovercertain compounds found in hopswhich are lost in the brewing proc-ess yet might be valuable in otherindustries. Dyes, tannins, wax andpectin all might he recovered. Eventhe fibers left after the hop resin isextracted might he converted intoplastics as is being done with soy-beans.

Hops are like their name in theway they have moved about thiscountry. They were first introducedin New Netherlands in 1625 and cameto Virginia five years later.

Guard Livestock HealthMore research on livestock health,

and passing the information to live-stock and poultry producers is urged.

A report pointed out that livestocklosses in the United States, becauseof poor health and disease, totalabout 268 million dollars a year.

It was also suggested that farm-ers may be given the facts bestthrough newspapers, periodicals,and the farm press, telling of prac-tices that will conserve the nation'slivestock and poultry resources.

Americans had scarcely receivedthe news of the brilliant naval vic-tory in the Solomons which drovethe Japs back reeling with 23 shipssunk and 30,000 sailors and soldiersdrowned, when additional reportswere forthcoming on the sinking offive enemy warships. The secondaction was the concluding part of agreat three-day engagement whichrouted, the Jap fleet from the Guad-alcanal area.

Shrewd and resourceful Vice Ad-miral William F. Halsey, command-er of the American forces, emergedfrom the battle as one of the out-standing heroes of the war, for itwas his audacity and pluck in theface of superior Japanese forcesthat won a smashing three-day vic-tory.

Jap ship losses in the sluggingencounter included one battleship,three heavy cruisers, two light cruis-ers, five destroyers and eight troop-laden transports sunk; four cargotransports destroyed on the beachnear Guadalcanal, and one battle-ship and six destroyers damaged.Enemy losses in the second engage-ment were one battleship, threelarge cruisers and one destroyersunk.

Naval officials said there was"good reason to believe" that the 'sinkings reported in second engage-ment were in addition to those pre-viously recorded.

American losses were two lightcruisers and six destroyers sunk.

The major part of the sea actionwas fought directly off Guadalcanalisland, which the Japs approachedwith three strong fleet task forcesintent on effecting a landing thatwould dislodge the heroic Americandefenders. One of the decisive ele-ments in the battle was the daringof American surface units in steam-ing directly between the lines of theJap columns, firing broadsides inboth directions. In this phase RearAdm. Daniel J. Calla'ghan, formernaval aide of President Roosevelt,was killed in actiorfT

While the navy rejoiced in its tri-umph, it accorded full credit to Gen-eral MacArthur's aircraft which hadoriginally spotted the Jap concen-trations and made repeated bomb-ing attacks on the enemy shipping.

NEW GUINEA:'Jap Dunkirk?

Steadily the jaws of the Austral-ian-American trap had closed onthe strategic Jap-held port of Bunain New Guinea.

Significant of the importance ofthe New Guinea drive to dislodgethe Japs was the presence in thefield of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.While his land forces converged onthe enemy positions, MacArthur'sbombers had fanned out for wide-spread aerial activities. On theircalling list besides Buna were ene-my installations at Lae and Sala-maus.

The critical plight of the Jap gar-rison at Buna was emphasized bythe arrival of eight enemy warshipsin the vicinity. In a grim game ofhide-and-seek that ensued betweenAmerican Flying Fortresses and theJap vessels, one enemy cruiser and ja destroyer were sunk and another 'destroyer damaged before the flo-tilla fled. Observers were of theopinion that the Jap warships mighthave been preparing to evacuate theJap defenders of Buna.

1849-YEAR DRAFT:High Schoolers Deferred

President Roosevelt set asidethree weeks beginning December 11for registration of youths who havereached or will reach their 18thbirthdays since June 30. The Presi-dent's order likewise provided con-tinuous registration on their birth-days of youths who become 18 on orafter next January 1.

A presidential proclamation hailedthe new registration as "advisable toinsure victory."

RUSSIAN FRONT:Reds Show Mettle

The Nazi threat to the Caucasusmountain passes and the Grozny oilfields was lifted when the Russiansstaged a fierce counter attack in theOrdzhonikidze area which resultedin the annihilation of 5,000 Germantroops and the capture of 140 Ger-man tanks, 70 field guns, 2,350 armytrucks and 1,000,000 rounds of am-munition.

The furious nature of the Red as-sault and the fact that the Russforces were fully equipped withplanes, tanks and other mechanizedequipment indicated that this en-gagement might be the sigaal for afar-flung counter-offensive all alongthe Soviet front.

At the other end of the Caucasusfront German attempts to breakthrough the Soviet lines near Tuapsewere repeatedly beaten back. Mean-while reports said winter was clos-ing down rapidly over the entireRussian front.

As it had for weeks past, the Nazifront at Stalingrad remained at astalemate, with German attacksbeaten off by the stout-hearted Rus-sian defenders. The industrial city'sfactory area was the principal tar-get of the Nazis' effort to gain afirm foothold in this strategic Volgametropolis.

NORTH AFRICA:3-Pronged Pincer

What was left of the tottering Axisempire in North Africa had drawncloser around Tripoli, as Alliedforces menaced it from the east, thewest and south, while the Mediterra-nean on the north had fast becomea lake dominated by United Nationsair and sea power.

From the east, Gen. Montgom-ery's Eighth British army had sweptthrough Libya in pursuit of Mar-shal Rommel's battered AfrikaKorps. From the west Americanand British forces had poured intoTunisia, aided by units of Gen. Gi-raud's French North African army.From the South it was reportedthat 10,000 of the fighting Frencharmy, mechanized with Americanequipment, had struck northwardfrom Lake Chad in French WestAfrica.

Goal of the Anglo-British armiesfrom the west had been strategicBizerte in Tunisia sea-coast "spring-board" to southern Italy. Britishparatroops flown in American planeshad captured airfields deep in Tu-nisia, reports disclosed. The Mo-rocco raid described these para-troop operations as the largest evercarried out by air-borne troops.

FRANCE:Laval Mask Off

Pierre Laval could now write hisown ticket. Observers believed thatticket would be filled out with or-ders for greater French collabora-tion with the Axis. For when dod-dering Marshal Petain invested La-val with dictatorial power givinghim the right "on his simple sig-nature alone to make laws" the im-mediate fate of continental Francewas in pro-Berlin hands.

Petain's decree simply gave offi-cial sanction to what had been anunofficial fact for months. Every-body in and out of Europe knew La-val had been the real boss of theVichy regime and Petain the figure-head. Now Laval could emerge inhis true role.

Across the Mediterranean m Al-geria, Admiral Jean Darlan contin-ued as the titular head of FrenchNorth Africa. But no longer had heVichy's blessing and no longer washe heir-presumptive to Petain's post.Achieving the doubtful distinction ofInternational Turncoat No. 1, Dar-lan had dexterously cast his lot withthe Allies, following the successfulAmerican invasion. Previously hehad been notoriously pro-Axis. Hiselevation to second in command toPetain had been a reward for hisAxis leanings after the 1940 FrenchCollapse.

ROOSEVELT:War's 'Turning Point9

American victories in the Solo-mons and in North Africa might wellbe hailed as an apparent turningpoint in the war, President Roose-velt declared. But, he warned theAmerican people, there is time onlyfor working and fighting, none forexaltation.

The President coupled his analy-sis of recent military events witha rebuke to critics of the govern-ment's war and international poli-cies, who speak "either out of ig-norance or out of political bias."

Declaring that he had made aconstant effort to keep politics outof the fighting of the -war, Mr. Roose-velt pleaded guilty, however, to hav-ing permitted pressure to disclosethe sinking of an American aircraftcarrier 10 days before the Novem-ber elections. He said he had real-ized that "if the news of the sink-ing had been given but two or threeweeks later, it would be publiclycharged that this news had beensuppressed by me until after theelection." The result was that vig-orous protests had come from com-manding admirals in the SouthwestPacific and at Pearl Harbor thatmilitary information was being giv-en to the Japs, because they prob-ably had no sure knowledge of thesinking.

GAS RATION:Curtailed in East

Demands for petroleum productsby the American Expeditionaryforces in North Africa far in excessof original estimates resulted in acurtailment of 25 per cent in the gas-oline of motorists in the Easternstates. The OPA order did not af-fect the Middle West, where ration-ing had been scheduled for Decem-ber 1.

Motorists traveling in the Eastfrom other states, however, wouldhave to comply with the new rationswhich gave three gallons of gaso-line for "A" coupons, instead' offour.

Officials said the East Coast cur-tailment would result in savingabout 20,000 barrels of gasoline aday.

TREE RUMANIA':Fund Grab Foiled

How a plot to spirit exiled KingCarol of Rumania into the UnitedStates from Mexico and establish a"Free Rumanian" movement in thiscountry was foiled, was disclosedwith the indictment in Detroit ofthree leaders in the cabal. At stakewas nearly $80,000,000 in frozen Ru-

manian funds now in custody of theU. S. treasury.

The indictments charged violationof the Foreign Agents Registrationand Espionage Acts. The defend-ants were Glicherie Moraru, self-styled leader of the movement, Ste-fan Opreanu and George Zanfer.

SEA SAGA:Boise Story Told

Triumphant survivor of a battlein which she helped sink six Japwarships off Guadalcanal in earlyOctober, the heroic light cruiserBoise was undergoing repairs at aneastern American shipyard, afterbeing battered by gunfire, swept byflames and losing 107 of her crew inaction.

That the Boise would be refitted intime to steam off to war again wasemphasized by her commander,Capt. E. J. ("Mike") Moran, andnavy officials. The Boise was leadship of an American naval taskforce that engaged a Jap cruiser-transport force bearing troops forthe Southeastern Solomons and borethe brunt of the fighting in whichthe enemy lost two heavy cruisers,one light cruiser and three destroy-ers.

Given up for lost in the battle, theundaunted Boise later joined itscompanion ships after receivingshell hits in vulnerable places. Inthe engagement, the Boise firedmore than 1,000 rounds of six-inchshells in 27 minutes.
