Army forces blasted open the last flame-seared Japanese line on Okinawa for gains of 400 yards through the center and eastern flank Wednesday while marines collapsed organized enemy re sistance on by-passed Orouku Peninsula. Shattering fantastic "Banzai" charges as they stormed the Southern Okinawa heights, the Americans battered and burned their way through two key posi tions dominating the northern rim of Yaeju-Dake plateau. In the Southeast or Seventh Infan try Division sector, they won the entire rim of the plateau. The 96th Division, "over the top” of the plateau one-half mile south of newly won Yuza, fanned out southwestward to the ouL skirts of Ozato town In a thrust to split the lines of the last 10,- 000 Japanese from north to souht. Ozato, a half mile northeast of Kunishi Ridge where 1st Marine forces are strongly emplaced, was reached in a 400-yard ad vance. The marines were streng thening their forces and a linkup of the two divisions would open the way for a heavy assault a- gainst the northwestern edge of the plateau.

Vaccination Laws Cited By Dr. Eller with the vaccination' season here again, Dr. A. J. Eller, oonn- ty health officer, has called at tention to the laws governing vaccinations and immunizations. The law compels parents to have babies Immunized against diptheria before reaching the age of one year, and that children must be vaccinated against small pox and whooping cough before entering school. Children who have had whooping cough are exempted from the provision re quiring their vaccination against whooping cough. Dr. Eller also calls attention to the fact that those who had three doses of typhoid vaccine last year should have one dose this year and one dose each suc ceeding year to continue Immun ity without having to take three doses in one season.

The total to date as reported by Federal Reserve system shows Wilkes with 16 per cent of the E bond quota sold. The nation al average is 77 per cent. How ever, the entire state of North Carolina is behind with the ex ception of a lew counties, and the state axerage is slightly more, than half the quota. R. E. Gibbs, chairman of the retail division of the campaign, has written all local merchants to intensity their efforts during the remainder of the month. Bonds may be purchased at re tail stores, where orders are taken and forwarded to banks. Bonds are then mailed directly to purchasers. Some rural communities are still lagging and additional re ports are needed from all except four districts, which have exceed ed quotas. The report by dis tricts as -published today does not include sales this week. The overall quota of $896,000 is now In sight, but extra efforts are needed on the E bond quota. W. D. Halfacre, Chairman, hEts received notice from the Federal Reserve system that three cor porations doing' business here have made allocations to the Wilkes quota. These are Dixie Home Stored, $3,000; Duke Pow er company, $85,000; J. C. Pen ney eoWpMiyr'-'^i these are corporations bonds and do not count on the E bond goal.
