Coupled with official reports of an AVG-Japanese duel near Heng. yang, Hunan province, on Monday in which three Japanese planes were shot down and three more probably destroyed; the severe damaging of a Japanese gunboat on the same day on Tungting Lake also in Hunan, and air action by the Chinese themselves on the Kiangsi front, the Hankow attack appeared to mark a new turn in the war. As if heartened by the strength ened showing in China’s skies, Chungking’s ground forces were reported today to have pushed the Japanese back 12 miles from re captured Kweiki, on the western of Kiangsi side of the battle for the last open stretch of the Che kiang-Kiangsi railway. The Chinese said that this suc cess widened the gap they still ( control from a bare 50 miles to more than 60. Chinese airmen as saulted Japanese positions at Linchwan (Fuchow), some 60 miles west of Kweiki. Otherwise the most important re port of the Chinese high command on the Kiangsi-Chekiang fighting was that Chinese units were be leaguering a Japanese force in Nancheng, about 40 miles south east of Linchwan. Forty Japanese fighting planes which rose up against the AVG fighter-bombers at Hankow in time to divert the weight of the attack from the Hankow airdrome to the waterfront. One of the Japanese planes was downed. 5 -A PAINTED SIGNS It is expected that there will be a marked revival of various types of painted store fronts and signs be cause the wartime conservation campaign may bring a suspension of the use of neon electric signs. * The Triple Value Whiskey * 85 PROOF OLD IN NAME TOPS IN TASTE HIGH IN QUALITY A PINT NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CORPORATION, NEW YORK, N.

THE REASON WHY? Presence of Excessive Salt in the Present Water Supply (A) Accumulated and continuing deficiency in rainfall over a period of past 10 years. (B) Lack of rainfall on Wilmington watershed has created a deficiency in stream flow, thus permitting tidal salt water to rise higher in present sup nlv sources (U. S. Wealher Bureau records basis of above statement; Also records of p r U. S. Geodetic Survey) (C) In recent years, deepening, widening, and straightening of channel .in Cape Fear River has increased the flow of salt water from the ocean and ihis condition has impregnated the present supply source during each dry sea son with uncontrollable quantities of salt water. This salt condition has been * immensely worsened by the dredging of a new 28 to 30 foot channel across Horse Shoe Bend to Navassa, near present source of water intake. KINGS BLUFF ABOVE U. S. DAM NO. 1, ON CAPE FEAR RIVER IS WILMINGTON'S ONLY SATISFACTORY SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY /1 \ At King’s Bluff there will always be an adequate quantity of water for Wilmington’s pres V1 / ent and future needs. (2) Salt contamination above King’s Bluff Dam is impossible. /0\King’s Bluff water contains only 12 to 15 parts of hardness per million to 200 parts for V*'/. ground water and other sources, and consequently requires less treatment at the filter plant. ( A\ The water above King’s Bluff is purer than the water used by many metropolitan centers V */ obtaining their water from the Ohio, Mississippi, Hudson, Schuylkill, and other rivers. Any possible pollution from Fayetteville, Fort Bragg and Veteran’s Hospital has been eliminated by the U. S. Government constructing a modern sewage treatment plant. /|?\ Funds are available and contract let for an entirely new modern filtration plant to replace \t// present inadequate and antiquated water plant. This new plant will guarantee Wilmington pure water as healthful and soft as supplied to any city in U. S.
