Colored Girl Hurt In Auto Accident Odell Wiggins, young colored girl of Goose Nest Township, suffered a broken ankle and bruises when the tobacco truck on which she was rid ing was struck by an automobile on the Hamilton-Palmyra road last Fri day. Wm. V. Brown, driving a 1941 Chevrolet, was traveling toward Hamilton when George Hill, colored boy, drove the truck out of a side road into the highway Before Brown could stop he crashed into the truck, breaking it in two.

Only one minor accident was reported, one person was hurt but the property damage was small. The establishment of a 35-mile speed limit should all but eliminate ac cidents on the highways, but as motorists reduce their speed, pe destrians must exercise more care if they are to escape being maimed, crippled or killed. The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corrAponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. 39th Week Comparison Accidents Inj'd Killed Dam'ge 1942 1 1 0 $ 000 1941 0 0 0 000 Comparison To Date 1942 52 31 3 $6,358 1941 70 44 3 19,030 War As It Kelates To Home Front Is Reviewed for Week (Continued from page one) we can spare is busy on war work has spread to the furniture industry. This industry probably will follow the same plan recently put into ef fect in the manufacture of bicycles ?a few plants, known as "nucleus plants," will continue to operate, concentrating all civilian furniture manufacture in a limited number of factories. The War Production Board to save time and materials, has lim ited the number of types and sizes of saws, axes, hatchets, adzes, light hammers, and for all kinds of elec tric lights and electric lamps which may be manufactured. In a country that has been produc ing around 25 billion board feet of lumber annually, wood has become a critical material Great quantities of lumber have been used to build cantonments. Ship construction has drawn heavily on supply. Special kinds of wood are needed for air craft, timbers for vessels, gunstocks and the like. Part of the reason for the shortage of wood lies in another shortage? the shortage of manpower to cut and process lumber, and manpower shortages are everywhere, every where grow more critical. We not only are desperately short of "front line" war workers?those with special skills?but by the end of 1943 we shall need about 18 mil lion workers of all kinds, partly to replace the millions of men who will be called into service, although chief ly for war production expansion. This means that more women will be employed?by the millions. It means that at least five million per sons who are not now working at anything will have to go to work. It means that our manpower, in time, must?in one way or another?be "rationed." that is. applied where it is needed most. To some extent that already is being done.

Worn or used silk hosiery is so val uable in making bags for smokeless powder that ceiling prices have been raised so as to stimulate carload lot sales. Price increases also have been allowed for New England cordwood and canned fruit and berries, while maximum prices were fixed over raw furs and skins, cement and knit ted underwear last week.

Henry Johnson, Gold Point, Martin County. Reinforced Germans Continue Their Push Against Stalingrad (Continued from page one) ed. Battle dispatche said Stalingrad '? was literally "in convulsions" from ' incessant bombing and shelling. But the price that the German army was paying on the 35th day of the battle < was underlined by the noon com munique's report that 2,000 Germans had been killed in 48 hours by one Red unit northwest of the city. In the battle cauldron in the streets, the German 71st Division was reported to have lost 3,300 men; the 24th (tank) division 56 tanks and armored cars. The Russians, bringing up rein forcements, are fanning out over a 50-mile area northwest of Stalin grad with success today, but the Germans were gradually gaining in the bitter fighting within the city itself. It was announced by the German controlled radio in Vichy today that von Bock, the German general, had been purged and that a successor ev en more ruthless than Bock had re placed him to continue the drive on Stalingrad. The new general is ex pected to continue the siege regard less of cost and losses in men and material. The Allied air forces have scored successes against the Japs in the Sol omon Islands area, one report stat-1 ing that more than 40 Jap planes were shot down and two cruisers sunk or damaged in the course of four days. The German claim that three Am erican troop transports had been sunk in the Atlantic was branded as a lie by British and American au thorities today. Speaking to the French people to day. a British officer declared that an allied offensive was in the mak ing, that it would drive on to Ber lin and ultimate victory. The day and place were not given, the spokes man explaining that no advance no tice could be given, but that the French would recognize the drive when it started rolling Little news concerning the war front has been released from Wash ington today, but in the capital city a final show down on the anti-infla tion bill is expected very shortly. Senate leaders said this morning that the body would not adjourn until a vote had been taken some time late tonight. It was revealed today that 2,300 nen of the United States Merchant darine had been either killed or lost tp to August 1st.
