Roanoke Rapids Officer Takes Part in Chinese battle Tengchnng, China-Ragged, poor ly fed Cli.nese troops are pressing their seise of Japanese held Teng e'hung from fox holes blasted out of the city’s stone wall. Chinese gunners installed them selves in at least five places on the ‘JO foot parapet. Their posi tions were gained by Chinese en gineers who scaled the ancient wall with ladders and set charges o TXT to blast protective holes for their riflemen. These positions have made possible the crushing of Japanese counter attacks. Col. Ma Chin-teng, two Amer ican liivson officers—Maj. Earle 0. Collinsb of Madison, Me., and L.t„ James W. Crew, Jr., of Hoa noke Rapids, X:. C.—toured these positions during a lull in the bal , tie today. They walked through • a new communications tanned to a breached' corner of the wall and ‘j nally reached a machine gun post. Outside the gun port, just be yond reach lay the body of a Jap anese who died during the night attempt by the defenders to storm the Chinese position. Other Japa nese dead lay sprawled on the in ner side of the wall. ; Col. Mu's regiment won a $75, Uoo (Chinese) pool for being the first outfit to maintain logments on the city wall. The luckiest ones wore Japanese shoes; the others were barefoot or had straw sand als. Some had cotton coats and a few boasted battle blouses with Australian buttons, captured from the Japanese. Tiie Chinese troops, living on : rice and a few green vegetables ! find life in this beautiful valley a i vast improvement after their push from the Salween river. In the l rigorous trek across the mount ains as many died of exposure as fell tj the Japanese, and the meat ( of a fallen pack animal was a de i lieacy. i At a Chinese field hospital a small American medical team tended the Chinese wounded in a primitive surgery.

The sale of Christmas seals will begin in Halifax County on .Mon day, November 27. Halifax Coun ty’s quota is $2500 of tins amount seventy rive per cent is kept in this county to be used for tuber culosis control. Before 1912 tuberculosis was the first cause of death, now it is seventh. Tul>erculosis still kills more than 50,000 Americans a year. More than 20,000 of these deaths occur between the ages ol 15 and 45. There is no law to force this killer out of hiding, but know ledge can help control the disease and ventually stamp it out. Christ mas seals support the spread of health knowledge. When we buy them we ate helping spread that periodic X-rays are important to each person, that no one is safe until all are sirfe. The tuberculosis associations concentrate oh educating commuui t ex in health habits that wilt pre vent the tubercle germ from find ing easy victims. A second phase ot this program is to spread in formation on the most recent prov ed methods of treating the disease, so that tuberculosis su.ferers may be brought back to health and lead normal, useful lives. The buying of Christmas seals should not be looked upon as a mere gift to charity, but as a means of self protection. They are an invest ment which pays dividends in terms of better health for our commu nity. Especially is this need great during war because people live un der more crowded condit ons mus ing increased exposure and me more fatigued due to extra duties. This Christmas Seal campaign is for our protection, for each time tuberculosis linds a victim within our midst, the health of each of us is in danger. Everyone can participate in the campaign a j gainst the white Plague by using | Christmas Seals, the sale of which supports the work a. the tubercu losis association. Each little seal is a brick in a wall to guard us against an attack by those small germs which can be as destructive as an attack by an enemy army.
