Late War '
Bulletins |
Whatever comfort there is for
United States citizens in the war g
news of the past week comes
from Russia where the Red army
continues its amazing action
against the invading army of the
Germans. Slowly but surely tho
Nazis are falling back, and tho c
prayer of the allied powers is that
it will be far enough quickly
enough before tho spring brings _
weather more to the liking of the
German army. 1
One development of tho past
week has been the appearance
off the Atlantic coast of enemy
submarines, which have sunk at
least three merchant vessels, one
off North Carolina. Our navy has
swung into action, but in accord- 1
ance with the war-time policy of a
with holding news of sinkings, no ?
announcement of hoped for successes
has been made.
In the far east American forces
still hold on grimly against overwhelming
odds in the Philippines
where it seems that forces under

A story of spontaneous movement
in the interest of the Red
Dross War Relief fund comes this
week from Shallotte high school
where students in an all-out effort
to aid this national organisation
raised the sum of $242.12.
The campaign resulted from a
:hapel talk made recently by
Principal Henry C. Stone, in
which the school head pointed out
several or uie ways uiav even
boys and girls can express their
patriotism in a practical way.
rhe first contributions came in to
the respective teachers without
benefit of a formal request, and
when it became apparent that the
students really were dead serious
about the effort, an intensive
campaign was organized.
All grades participated, the
highest room contribution coming
from Miss Ida Creech's 11th
grade, $36.25. The 6th grade,
Miss Clarice Swain teacher, contributed
$32.57 for the greatest
contribution from one of, the
grammar grade rooms.
