Ilec. 22.- -Tjjp Soviet Press forecast sharp Axis reaction to British war gains in war re views published today, but char acterised invasion of Knglatul as , an "exceptional difficulty." The reviews appeared in tin army and navy publications. Red Star and Red Fleet, and in the Communist Party and labor union organs. Pravda and Trud. "The successful British advance J iu North Africa is of great sig-. nlflcance, not so much in the seiz ure of the territory as in consid-i erable Italians losses which ten-! gibly change the relation of the forces," Red Star commented. Said Trud: "The simultaneous Greek at tack in Albania and that of i<hc 1 British In North Africa have com plicated considerably Italy's posi tion, but the British success can not' yet be called n breaking-point ( of ' the war. "It should be expected that these successes will call forth Arm action 011 the part of her en emies." Discussing the possibility of an invasion of England, the trade union paper said that "under con ditions of British mastery of the sea and uncrushed aviation, this is a tusk of exceptional difficulty. . . . In general, in evaluating the situation in the British-Ger man theater of war, one must come to the conclusion Miat no mattei' what methods of warfare the Germans employ, the struggle will retain Its drawnoub charac ter."

SHELTOX Last Sunday | in the Armory there occurred anoMier event to cement the friendly rela tions between the townspeo ple , and those from the coun try. The coun ty-wide Chrlslt mns tree in all ot her of the Chamber of Commerce affairs de signed not only to do a great good but to bring folks to town under a common bond of friend ship. Louisburg. more Mian ever before is extending the warm hand of fellowship and welcome. The county wide Christ man tree is another of those events that should be upon our vearlv calen da r II ? H It is a great pity that through the short-sightedness of sonic the liOiiisburg Chamber of Com merce, which has rendered such yeoman service in the past many months is facing dissolu tion. It this happens, and it will happen, unless something is done very soon, then Louis hurg will Ik* in the unenviable position of having 110 organized business group. If the attitude that is allowing the Chamber of Commerce to die is allowed to persist then this town can rest assured that without a cooper ation among each of the busi ness houses, without rf Hot nr. \ el ub, wthout a Kiwanis club, without a Lion's club, and without a Chamber of Com merce, that many and varied are the op|M>rt unities for civic welfare and profit thivt will be passed by completely because there is no coordinating or cen tral effort. Please don't get me wrong on the above state ment s. I love liouisburg and Franklin County but sometime* I just cannot reconcile my own convictions with the "I don't care" attitude that at time* seems to plague this communi ty. Now since I've stuck my neck out excuse me while I start ducking. n? n In Pm's Time Capsule: "If the Italians aren't careful, it will be tbe Ureeks coming down their chimneys instead of Santa Glaus " 1?
