Mines Sowed by Aircraft,
By the Associated Press
Great Britain claimed yesterday that Germany was sowing
magnetic high explosive mines in shallow East Coast shipping lanes
b means of small submarines and aircraft. A large number of
these mines could be sowed by one aircraft, it was added.
British naval authorities plan to combat these magnetic mines
ffith new wooden sweepers, vessels insulated from contacts that set
these mines and by intensifying air and sea control.
Eight vessels were added yesterday to the list of those sent
to the bottom by mines or submarines, making a total of 25 in six
days. The known shipping losses to all countries has reached 151.
This is the most expensive war in which Great Britain has been
engaged, costing $23,850,000 per day, according to official estimates.
Allied Pilots Claim Victories'
Clear weather brought increased air fighting over the Western
Front with the French and British claiming to have had the best of
dog fighting deep in French territory over behind the West front.
British Charged With Sabotage
In Berlin officials claimed British agents were responsible for
sabotage on German, French and Japanese ships since November,
1937 to November, 1938.

PLANS FOR SPORT
ARENA DISCUSSED
Clifford Sloan Named Chairman of
Organization Committee at
Pine Needles Meeting
___+ _
Real Estate Men Agree Project jj
Needed and Should be Located
Somewhere on Midland Road 1
— * -j
TO FORM CORPORATION
By Robert E. Harlow
.For a number of years there
has been considerable conversa- '
tion in the Sandhills community
to the effect that a sports arena,, $
which would include facilities,
for a number of popular pas- < |
times, would add tremendously. ^
to the attractiveness of the com
munity. ~ j
Best thought on this subject
has been that such an enterprize
should not be undertaken by any
single unit, but should be built
by the combined efforts of every
community in Moore County. i
A definite step for the pur
pose of investigating ways and
means for erecting a sports
arena was taken last night at a j
meeting at the Pine Needles Inn,
attended"by a~ grbtip^ dfrealTP-j
tate men from the Sandhills, who
had gathered for supper as the j
guests of Clifford Sloan.
Having partaken of a dinner
which Mr. Sloan insisted was a 1
supper, but which ; could have
passed more easily as a banquet,
the meeting was opened for dis- _ |
cussion of methods which would
prove beneficial to the future .
prosperity of the ^Sandhills com
munity.
There was discussion concern
ing aviation, and it was brought
out that in the next few years ,
the development of air transpor
tation, and flying as a • sport,,
would advance as much as in the
last 25 years. It was the opin
ion of the meeting that aviation*
should be included in such a de
velopment program as the one
which is underway.
Those present agreed that the
proper locationifor a sports cen
ter would be somewhere on Mid- \
land road.
A number of speakers voiced!
the sentiment that immediate ac
tion should be taken for the pur
pose of finding out what couldi
be done about a sports arena,
and it was decided to appoint a
chairman of an organization com
mittee. By unanimous vote Clif
ford Sloan was elected to this
post, and tie accepted.
Mr. Sloan will appoint mem
bers of the organization commit
tee within a short time, and a
meeting will be held for the pur
pose of forming a corporation,
electing officers and perfecting
plans. When a definite plan has
been decided upon the project
will be presented to the commtin
ity for support. r
Present last night were Mr
Sloan, Tom Miller, Harry Men
zel, Emmett | Boone, Col. Georges
P. Hawes, Aj S. Newcomb, How
ard Bums, George Wallace, E..
