War Interpretive (Continued (torn Page One) tion” in 1941, he said, with Ameri can help. .. “We are not afraid rf any blow (from Germany) Our defense of the beaches is complete. “But in 1941 we shall become a well-armed nation, too, and that will open hostilities (of offensive warfare) which have not been open to us up to the present.” Churchill confirmed the impres sion of this writer that the British expect an early offensive against England because they figure that Hitler's need is desperate. The dis asters suffered by his Italian mate in Albania and Egypt and the squeeze of the British blockade are forcing him to a final supreme ef fort. Indications that American policy of total aid for T> " 'n short of war will become effective in 1941 is another factor bearing heavily on Berlin, according to the British view. “He (Hitler) is in r-eat need of doing something now, or, at any rate, within two months,” Church il said. “Hitler . . . wields gigan tic power and is capable of wield ing it in a ruthless manner.” Dangers Not Over •Therefore the British war lead er warned that “the mortal dan gers” of invasion or a “prolonged deadlock” were not passed. Yet the main theme of his address to parliament, keyed to ever-growing British victory over Italy in Egypt and Libya, was preparation for at tack, not defense. Churchill recalled having said to parliament recently that Britain’s war effort was geared for a strug gle that might last into 1943 or 1944. He corrected that to deny he meant merely that the effort must be great enough to meet any eventuality. me i_nurcnul address also con firmed anew the impression that the British offensive in Egypt and Libya was planned months ago, as far back as July. Although England was then in far greater danger of a Nazi blitzkrieg in vasion than she is now, she began to ship troops, tanks and guns eastward, he said. That means that the British East ern victories were not a by-prod uct of Italian defeat by Greece; but planned from the very outset of the Battle of Britain six months ago. Churchill’s expectation today obviously is that if Hitler strikes full force at England within two months, he will meet a crushing repulse. I That is the 1941 opportunity Churchil foresees. T' would open the way, in his judgment, for a British counter attack in any of several war theaters — an attack which might end the war quickly. 1 Jackson Qualifies As Administrator Here James W. Jackson, the eldest son, has qualied as administrator of the estate of Mrs. Ida M. Jack son, who died November 29 with out leaving a will, T. A.

Mad Foxes Continue To Offer Kelly Community Real Problem KELLY, Dec. 19.—Mad foxes and polecats, not to mention hen hawks and black widow spiders, are back at their familiar tricks in the Kelly section and up here in the forks of the river the inhabitant- are ready to give a piece of their mind to get a little peace of mind. The situation is rea” ■ alarming, for no one—young or old—is safe from the rabid Reynard family. Tuesday night W. D. Brinkley, of the Long View section, was ‘ feeding up” around his am when he heard a commotion in a thicket nearby. Out of the thicket emerged a fox, rumbling and snarling and definitely mad. Mr. Brinkley made his way to the house tr get his gun and as Brother Fox approached the doorstep he let him have the full charge of both barrels. That ended that threat. And then there are the polecats —who mad or unmad, are anti-so cial at all times. A few days ago several of the Kelly boys were deer hunting and a polecat got on their trail. Nothing would shoo him away and finaly in desper ation one of the boys shot him when the animal was getting just a bit too familiar. At any rate, that ended the hunt. The residents of the Kelly sec tion are pretty upset about the business and hope that sc ebody will do something to rid the sec tion of the mad foxes. Fox hunt ers, composed of R. K. Smith, R. K. Henry, Rufus Pridgen, Herbert Keith and Alton Porter, are taking to th woods every fr-v nights to shoot foxes—both mad ones and plain wild ones. The folks hereabouts are com plaining mightily about it. They say that cold weather is coming on and they have enough to do to battle the weather, let alone mad dogs, mad foxes and mad pole cats with their heavy perfume. 1 Draft Appeal Boards Are Told To Be Liberal RALEIGH, Dec. 19.—(yR—State selective service officials told members of North Carolina’s draft appeal boards today that they could “afford to be liberal in in terpreting regulations.” The appeal board members met in executive session, but selective service officials said the meeting was devoted largely to an explan ation of procedure. It was pointed out that only 800,000 of the 16, 000,000 registrants in the United States would be called to duty dur ing the first year of the draft, and that consequently it would “not be necessary to disrupt any homes or any businesses.” 1 WILL BE PAROLED LEWISBURG, Pa., Dec. 19—ta>) —William P.
