The Bata Works in Prague, largest shoe producers in the world, has made several million pairs of the “ersatz” shoes. They cost more than the leather ones Bata produced before Czechoslovakia fell to Ger many but the leather shortage now is more acute than the shortage of wood. The shoes are designed for both men and women. Eleanor—I think the boy who tried to kiss you was cracked. Clara—ni say he was! My hand still hurts. SHOULD WATCH FOR BLUE MOLD Damp, Cloudy Weather Is Favorable Condition for Spread WAYS O F- TREATMENT The first appearance of Blue Mold of tobacco comes at about the time the dog-wood begins flowering. Growers should not wait until the disease has made its appearance before they begin treatment as delay often causes heavy losses. Damp, cloudy, and cool weather makes a more fav orable condition for the spread of the disease. A close watch should be kept on tobacco plant beds and at the first ^igns of blue mold the necessary steps should be taken to control the disease. It is often advisable to begin treatment before the disease is observed, particularly if the dis ease is in the community because it strikes suddenly under favor able Conditions. There are three methods of treatment which are satisfactory if properly carried out, and it is for the grower to judge which would fill his need most ade quately. Benzol fumigation, par adichlorbenzo 1 fumigation and the spray treatment nf red cop per oxide, cottonseed oil and water have proyen the best con trol methods. Due to the length of descriptive information the details are omitted. However, persons wishing information per taining to the control treatment of blue mold are requested to write for a descriptive circular or call for the circular at the coun ty agent’s office in Dobson. The circular is for free distribution to the public and it contains much valuable information regarding the control of blue mold. The circular is Extension Circular No. 229 entitled “Blue Mold of To bacco and Its Control.” Rites Wednesday For W. N. Ireland, At Flat Rock William N.

FIERCE SEA AND AIR WARFARE IS SAID IN ACTION Sparked by Attack on Ger man Transport Convoy FIGHTING VERY SEVERE Battle Said in Progress at Door of Oslo, North of Norway’s Capital SEE DECISIVE CLASH Stockholm, April 23 — Fierce sea-and-air warfare, sparked by an attack on a German transport convoy, was reported raging in the Skagerrak tonight while al lied troops in Norway threaten ed nazi positions on three fronts. Hie Stockholm newspaper Nya Dagligt Allehanda reported from Sweden’s west coast that war ships and airplanes were engaged in two battles in the Skagerrak. From the roar of gunfire off the coast, it said, the fighting seems likely to prove the most se vere in the two weeks since Ger many invaded Norway. Many fighting planes were in volved in the battles and at one coastal vantage point 10 destroy ers could be seen speeding past, all of them with their guns spouting. On land, meanwhile, the news paper Aftonbladet reported a battle in progress “at the door of Oslo,” in the sector from Elverum to Hamar and Lillehammer, about 60 miles north of Norway’s nazi-held capital. These reports said , a powerful allied force is advancing in the direction of Hamar. The allied forces, already engaged in a wid ening series of encounters with the Germans, apparently are heading toward a decisive clash there. The Germans’ effort seems to be concentrated on cutting the railroad between Hamar and An dalsnes, Norwegian west coast debarkation point for the British forces, to isolate the Hamar sec tor. Probe in Death Of NegTo Ended Investigation into the instant death of Allen Glover, 24, who was killed near Reavis filling station two miles south of Brooks Cross Roads Wednesday morning, has come to a halt, after both re maining negroes who occupied the liquor laden car said Glover was driving the car when it went out of control and threw him against a tobacco pack house while the car was being chased by Darwin Hayes, an Iredell county deputy sheriff, and Ralph Albea, his companion. Roosevelt Allridge, also of Win ston, was seriously injured and Sylvester Grant, the third occu pant of the car, was arrested Thursday in 'Winston-Salem by Sheriff A. L. Inscore and placed in Yadkin jail. Coroner R. V. Long said if Glover, the dead negro, was driv ing the car his investigation was at an end. Coroner Long and Sheriff In score said they did not know why the Iredell county deputy was chasing cars in Yadkin county. Early arrivals at the scene said 10 of the five-gallon cans con taining liquor were burst. It was not learned what went with the other two cans.
