London.—The moot murderonn
natl-nir«rnt bnirnge ever to
challnnse Adolf Hitler's miden,
tUlinK the eny with greet angry
cheeU of flame, turned back
84nadron8 of Naxl bomhers from
the heart of boanb-tom London
la8t night and earlr today.
Smashing In from several di
rections ror their 3rd nignt of
attack, the raiders encountered
a wall of flying steel on all 'sides
as shells of every calibre ripped
Into the sky with thunderous
roars.
The fierce barrage of the
«aMhies’' was Intermittent and
punctured by long lulls but each
time the- Nazis attempted to
streak in upon central London
the guns blazed into action by
the scores.
Few of the enemy planes suc
ceeded In penetrating to inner
London and most of the high ex
plosives and incendiaries smash
ed down upon the suburbs.
Shortly after midnight, hovv-
ever, several high explosii e
bombs and at least one oil (in
cendiary) bomb fell in central
London. A fierce fire lit up the
district for 30 minutes before it
'^>as extinguished.
Now and then a lone raider
^^treaked over Ixindon, the din
'^Kf shell-fire became ear-splitting,
streets and rooftops clattered
with a hall of shrapnel and the
raider soon disappeared.
Greatest Barrage
Observers, particularly in me
sonthweet parts of the London
area, said the protective barrage
stretching for miles across the
horizon was greater than any ev
er witnessed before in London s
three weeks of siege.
“Flashes of gunfire shot up
from all angles and the shell
bursts lighted the sky with sheets
of flame,” one eye-witness said.
During Sunday, it was stated
officially, '■Bvon German raiders
were brought down, four of them
bombers knocked out of the sky
by anti-al-craft fire, while thr-
Britlsh lost two fighter planes.
The pilots of both British planes
escaped. '
at Ferguson, which was destroy
ed in the August 14 flood, has al
ready been replaced and con
struction of the Elk Creek bridge
is necessary to open the highway
for through traffic.
Delay in obtaining steel be
cause of defense construction has
somewhat hampered the task of
replacing bridges destroyed in
the flood, highway officials said,
tout bridges are being constructed
as rapidly as possible.
Surveys have been made for
replacement of the lower Yadkin
bridge here and it is understood
engineers have recommended the
construction of a concrete struc
ture to replace the old steel
bridge.
With the opening of highway
421 between Millers Creek and
Boone several days ago and con-
strustion of a bride across Elk
Creek on highway 268 assured
for immediate construction, it is
expected that traffic will return
to normalcy in this section of the
state soon.
This is a partial view of the R(»da
cotton mill* plant which has been pur
chased by Home Chair company, of
North Wilkesboro, and will be convert
ed into a furniture manufacturing plant
with all new and modem machinery.
The building in the foreground is the
power plant with the main factory build
ing in the rear. Work on the buildings
has already begun and a dry kiln w ill be
constructed. Machinery has been pur
chased and company officials hope to
begin operations early in December.
The Home Chair comlpany factory hem
was destroyed by fire in the Yadkin
flood on August 14.
London. — British
thorltles warned last
naval au-
nigbt that
'the “sero hoar” Adolf _HItler s_
"nvaslon plans
may'be approach
ing following shattering new R.
A F assaults on Berlin, naval
b^es and a 600-mlle stretch of
the Nazi-held Channel coast.
Late last night the Nazi “in
vasion bases” along the Channel
coast again were under the blast
ing attack of British bombers
which flew' through a heavy rain
storm to strike simultaneously at
J dozen or more points.
Watchers on the Dover coast
saw bomb flashes all along the
French coast and the attack ap
peared to be particularly heavy ^
dk^round Bt>ulogne.
T The Germans may attempt to
launch their invasion with a
mighty surprise blow “in hopes
of catching us somewhat off
guard,” a naval spokesman said,
but the British fleet is “deter
mined not to relax for one mo
ment.”
