All types of planes, from deadly little fighter-bombers to big Flying Fortresses and Liberators, winged out from Malta, the Middle East and North Africa to give the enemy an other display of Allied air power. Only 11 Allied planes were lost all day, including two of Malta’s! Spitfires, which shot down 24 enemy planes, and nine from the North African commands. (A United Press Valetta dispatch said Malta's planes shot down 27 enemy planes Saturday night and Sunday, three of them apparently Saturday night for a total of 50 en emy planes destroyed in that per iod. The Allied attacks were spear headed by the new six-gunned Unit ed Slates A-3G bombers which con centrated on truck convoys rushing men and supplies to the areas where ; the Axis was trying to halt Ameri can, British and Canadian troops. Zooming down with all guns blaz ing, the A-36's dropped hundreds of wing-bombs on the convoys, one numbering 200 trucks. Four Sicilian airfields — Catania und Gcrbini in the oast; Milo in the northwest, and Sciacca in the south west- were attacked by Flying Fort resses and medium bombers. Mean while, American Liberator bombers of tin1 Middle East attacked the air dromes at Iteggio Ui Calabria and Vibo Valentia in southern Italy. In Russia, tierce fighting contin ues in the Belgorod sector, but it is fairly apparent that the Germans are meeting their match and are making little or no progress there. The big offensive, the third in as many summers, is nearing an acute stage. During the eight days the battle has been raging along the 150-mile front, the Germans have LAWN FURNITURE Large and roomy — ramie of solid icotnl — Make your lairn set a tih as many pieces as you like.

Workers hauled clay and sand on the roads in the township. The rains soon washed the clay away and the wind soon blew the sand away, but the debt stayed on 1o plague taxpayers through storms and fair weather and through good times and bad times. At the present time $1 098.72 is due on the bonds. Approximately $900 is due in back taxes, leaving jbout $798:19 to be raised by the 4 cent levy. But it isn’t liteely that all the back taxes will be collected since they run back to its far ns 1928, but it is estimated the 4-cent rate will clear the old debt. lost 2,600 tanks and 1,126 planes. No late report on casualties has been released, but during the first six days, the count was nearing 50,000 Germans killed, wounded and cap tured. And that's large-scale light ing. In the Pacific there’s also some hot fighting on land and sea and in the air. And the Japs are getting the worst of it, indeed. Four more Jap ships, a cruiser and three destroyers, 1 have been sunk in Kula Gulf, a body | of water only fifteen miles long and about eight miles wide. The Jap at tempt to reinforce its garrisons on New Georgia Island has cost the en emy between fourteen and fifteen [ships, and the sea battle is believed to be still raging there.
