predict^"thrust:
A German submarine thrust
igainst British lifelines in the
J^est Indies—within the Pan
American neutrality zone—was
predicted last night in reliable
Sew York maritime quarters.
These sources said that three
Nazi U-boats—tended by a Ger
man passenger liner, had run the
blockade and crossed the Atlan
tic, and were now prowling in the
vicinity of Trinidad, tourist re
sort in the British West Indies.
The plan called for a lightning
glow against the British and
French ships carrying grain and
other foods and fuel oil to Eng
land.
RED TROOPS FAIL
Relentless assaults by Russian
armies, all day and all night,
across the blood stained snows
and frozen lakes on the flank of
[he Mannerheim line, were re
ported by .Finnish military au
thorities last night to have failed
ntterly to relieve large Russian
forces trapped and harassed
from every side near Kitela.
These forces are cut offalmost
entirely from communication with
their main armies.
BUILD ONE SUB A DAY
An excellently informed Ber
lin source said last night that
Germany’s submarine construc
tion program has reached the
stage of one huilt every day.
This source said the first group
of subs built under this high
pressure program now is . com
pleted, and he asserted that sub
warfare will be increased soon
hy leaps and bounds. It is also
understood that the Von Tirpitz,
and the Bismarck, 35,000 ton
battleships, are almost ready to
be commissioned. The 10,000-ton
Deutschland’s return home after
five months of raiding merchant
shipping was announced today.,

MACKS’ NEW STORE
IN SOUTHERN PINES

One of Most Attractive in State

Broad street by Frank Welch.
The building, which is of one
story brick construction, is mod
em in every detail and* built to
the specifications of Macks’. The
new store, which Macks’ will
open in this building tomorrow
morning, will be one of the most
attractive in North Carolina, and
definitely an asset, both to South
ern Pines and the owners. <
Macks’ 5, 10 & 25 cent Stores]
is a southern concern with head- j
quarters in Sanford. There are
20 stores in the chain, located
throughout North and South
Carolina and Virginia. They'
have operated a store in South
ern Pines since 1927, and this
new large, modem store stands
as proof of the important part
which the original Southern
Pines store has played in making
the extensive chain possible.
The firm enjoys a splendid rep
utation in all of the towns in
which their stores are located,
and the new store is being enthu
siastically acclaimed by the peo
ple of Southern Pines. The man
agement is also very enthusiastic
about the new enterprise and hasj

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
1 by THE STAFF
Weather conditions existing at the present time have wrought
a serious hardship on our little friends, the birds, in this region.
There are robins, cedar waxwings, cardmaIs, ’m6clcmgT»THsV £Hrush
and other beautiful winged creatures—all hungry. Conditions around
the countryside have made it almost impossible for the birds to pick
up their “daily bread.”
A Pinehurst resident reported driving along one of the village
streets yesterday afternoon and coming up to four robins which had
fortunately found a morsel or two of something to eat.
Ordinarily, birds will take to the wing when a car approaches,
and a driver will take it for granted that they will fly away. Yes
terday, however, these four .birds, feverishly picking at the few
crumbs which some kind person had thrown down for them, were so
hungry that the danger of the oncoming auto didn’t prompt them
to move—and two of them were killed.
The Outlook suggests that the residents of the Sandhills relieve
this situation. Just put some food suitable for birds in your pocket
on your way out today and for the next few days, and toss it
here and there as you go. One of the best of foods for the birds is
chick feed, or cracked assorted grains.
Or, if you don’t get outdoors yourself, call the Pinehurst Out
look office and some one will call at your house to pick up your feed
contribution to our feathered friends, whose “song and sail are a
tonic to all.”
The Outlook editorial staff will distribute the feed in the most
advantageous places while making its reportorial rounds about town.
