The first tentative classifications
in the 18- and 19-year-old group of
about 650 boys were made at the
last meeting. Some of the youths
who attained the age of 20 years
since they registered last June 30,
have already been classified and in
ducted into the service. The classi
fications below were handled as
special cases, most of the registrants
having presented claims for defer
ment. In those cases where the reg
istrants made no claims and they
were found to be single or married,
they were classified accordingly.
The registrant who married before
last December 7th can depend on a ,
3-A classification, and the registrant t
without dependents can depend on)
a 1-A classification, subject, of'
course, to physical examination. The |
classifications for 18- and 19-year
olds follow:

Train Jumps Frozen
Track At Oak City
v *
An Atlantic Coast Line freight
train, striking a frozen grade cross
ing, jumped the track and plowed
down the main street of Oak City
early yesterday morning. No report
on the damage could be had immed
iately, but it was learned that no
one was hurt, the fireman and en
gineer jumping to safety before the
big locomotive plowed through the
ground a distance of about 75 feet
and turned over.
Running at a moderate speed, the
train hit the frozen dirt acumulat
ed on the tracks at the crossing and
altered its course. Three cars in the
train and one on a siding were
smashed or damaged, and the engine
laid down on its side after plowing
about twenty feet from the tracks
in the direction of Merchant Wheel
er Daniel's store.
The wreck was one of the worst
reported on the company's tracks
in this county in recent years. A
second wreck, believed to have been
caused by frozen dirt at a crossing,
was reported at Enfield yesterday

U. S. Bombs Hit Jap-Held Kiska
As bombs from U. S. Army B-24 bombers burst along the shore of Kiska
Island in the Aleutians, Jap barracks and military installations go up
in smoke. Whenever the weather permits, American bombers pay
regular visits to the Jap occupants. This is an official U. S. Army
Signal Corps photo from News of the Day News red.
RUSH
The Christmas mail rush is al
ready underway, a report from
the local post office this morning
stating that mailings had great
ly increased in volume during
the past few days. The rush is
developing several days ahead of
the usual schedule.
Yesterday, the local office
cancelled more than 5,000 out
going letters and cards, and par
cel post handlings have increas
ed in proportion. It is already no
ticeable that longer periods are
necessary for the distribution of
regular mails.

out of the game, going home in dis
grace.
"Is it true that some of us are in-1
tentionally going just a little over
the limit or line? That some are
pushing up to 37 1-2 miles or using j
Unpatriotic methods to get that ex
tra gasoline, or tire, or pound of cof-j
fee or sugar, or driving taxis be-j
yond the regulations? Are we all
honest in our dealings with all the
rationing rules? If we are not, howl
can we continue to "fudge" while
boys are dying that we may continue
to enjoy these things? Lack of the
right munitions and supplies at the
right place can lose this war; then
the life you and I have been know
ing and enjoying will be gone; no
more will we know what it is to be
a free people; the spirit of the
Christmas season will be no more;
our lives will be stark and hopeless;
our souls crushed forever.
jfAnd so we are asked to make
our unfits and desires secondary to
the needs of the war; to aid in the
speedy and final victory; to save a
life, if not several lives, by a little
self-denial. Those boys, in many
cases, are doing things for us that
mean certain death; we here safely
at home can, at least, stand aside and
patiently wait for a little while."

Knitters Atked To Report
Garmentt To The Red Crott
Pointing out an increasing need
for knitted garments, the national
headquarters of the American Red
Cross is urging all chapters to turn
in every knitted article completed
before January 1. Quite a few gar
ments are being made in the local
chapter, and the knitters are urged
to have them ready within the next
few days.
It has been estimated that 82 per

the Japs apparently continuing to
lick their wounds received in their
latest futile attempt to reinforce its
garrisons there. In New Guinea, Am
erican forces scored a major victory
when they captured the Jap base at
Buna and wrecked a sixth attempt to
land Jap forces. Two Jap cruisers
and four destroyers were either
sunk, damaged or beaten off in the
late fighting off New Guinea.
Major developments, pointing to
an all-out drive into Southwest
China, are predicted in reports com- j
ing from China's secret service. The i
Japs are moving supplies in large !
volume over the Burma Road, and
air activity is increasing in that area.
The fighting Russians haven't stop
ped for cold weather or high water,
late communiques from Moscow stat
ing that German counterattacks are j
being repelled in rapid order, that
another 3,000 Germans had been
written off for good, mostly in the
Stalingrad area where the invaders
are struggling to escape a strong
Russian steel trap.
The sinking of the United States
transport, President Coolidge, with
the loss of only four men out of an
estimated 4.000 the latter part of
last week in the Pacific, is to be in

merit made today by Navy Secretary
Knox.
Everything is comparatively quiet j
on the home front. The halls of Con

the law-makers are packing up and
making ready to leave the capital

Thursday. The new or 78th session

January 6th.
A report from Vichy, France, the
mock capital of a conquered coun
try, today stated that one Laval
was supposed to be on his way to
meet Hitler to discuss plans for rais
ing a Vichy army.
Prime Minister Churchill an
nounced today that a new anti-sub
marine committee had been named,
the action apparently revealing that
the sub menace is still a serious one.
