Bennett was last seen alive in Lewiston Saturday afternoon about 5 o’clock. A man by the name of Spruill, traveling to the Lewiston club house the next morning, found the body in the path. Few details of the man’s untimely death could be had here, but one report stated that Bennett either sprained or broke his ankle, that he crawled possibly several hundred yards before he ex hausted his strength. Digging in the ice and snow, he had bady in jured his fingers and hands as he dragged himself over the ground. He was thought to have yelled for help about 10 o’clock Saturday night, hut those who heard his yells thought little of them at the time •and -matte*f»o ov-'migaU.m, it v. u.

Allied Armies Make New Gains In Their Drive Toward Rome . # X - —a. » Air Attacks Are Resumed List Night Fol!ovt iug Big Fight Ov t*r Germany Tuesday Siaiemated by terrible weather conditions and a fierce enemy resist ance for some time. Allied armies in Italy are reporting new gains in their march toward Rome. Yester day. American and French patrols scored when they advanced into the German lines, gaining valuable in formation and capturing a number of prisoners. lit is now reliably esti mated that 8,000 Germans have been taken prisoner in the Italian cam paign. In addition to the capture of several new peaks, the Allies suc cessfully threw back German coun terattacks to offer a more encourag ing picture of the campaign in Itaiy. The Russians are still going strong, late reports indicating that the Ger mans, outmaneuvered in White Rus sia, are just before making a 130 mile retreat across the marshes in that sector of the Eastern Front. During the meantime. General Vatu tin’s army is advancing ever deeper into old Poland. The Russians have gone so far that the boundary line issue has been all but lost in the news during the past few days. Air attacks were resumed last night over western Germany follow ing the greatest air battle in history last Tuesday when American airmen attacked three vital airplane produc tion centers in Naziland. There were indications that the Americans were back over the continent this morn ing, but their strength and targets were not immediately announced. In that record air battle last Tues day, the Americans lost sixty big bombers and five fighters. It was of ficially announced that at least 152 enemy plane's were downed, and that the manufacturing centers were wrecked. Successful raids were made this week on targets in the Rome area, and traffic, vital to the German war machine in Bulgaria, was badly dis rupted by air attacks earlier in the week. There’s been very little invasion talk these past few days, but the Al lies continue to pour men and sup plies into England. In the Pacific theater, Allied air men continue to puund objectives in the Marshall Islands, and talk of American reverses has been declar ed unfounded by General MacAr thur. News on the home front came thick and fast this week when Presi dent Roosevelt submitted his annual state-of-the-union and budget mes sages to Congress. Preliminary re ports state that both messages are getting a cold shoulder from Con gress, but it was intimated that the 100 billion dollar budget request would revive the general sales tax issue. However, it was fairly evident that the Congress would not consider increasing the 2 1-2 billion dollar tax program for the 10 1-2 billion dollar plan asked for by the administra In his message to Congress ear lie i in the week the President recom mended: A realistic tax law—which will tax all unreasonable profits and reduce the ultimate costs of the war to our sons and daughters. A continuation of the law for the renogiation of war contracts—which will prevent exorbitant profits and assure fair prices to the government. A cost of food law—which will place a floor under and a ceiling over prices. Early re-enactment of the stabil isation statute of October, 1942 VW.rJP&uioritfi at favr-siV.iith with exceptions, make available for war production or other essential jobs every able-bodied aduit. ■ 'ir Local Parents and Teachers To Meet Next Wednesday -* The » WtlMaanstoc • Parent-Teacher Association will hold its January meeting Wednesday afternoon, Jan uary 19, at 3:30, in the grammar school auditorium. The program will be featured by a patnutic playlet by Miss Benson’s second grade children. Next Wednesday’s meeting will be the first held since November, the December meeting being canceled on account of the snow and the dosing of the schools. Association members and patrons of the schools are urged to be pres ent for the special program and the business session to follow. OBSERVANCE ; v _/ A special union service will be held in the local Baptist Church Sunday evening at 7:30 o’clock, marking the observance of Dr. 1 W. R. Burrell’s fiftieth anniver sary in the ministry. Other churches wiii cooperate by sus pending their schedules program , at that time, it wax announced. “This is a fitting tribute to a long and useful ministry by a man who has endeared himself s to our community,” a member of , the local ministerial association , said this morning. The general public is invited to attend the service. TAX LISTING v__/ Tax listing is progressing fair ly rapidly in most of the town ships of this county at the pres ent time, some of the listers stat ing yesterday that they were from a fourth *o one-half through with the abstract work. Early reports coming from Tax Supervisor C. D. Carstar pken indicate that some increase in vaiues is to he expected in j most if not all the townships this year. While there have been no sizable gains in any of the dis tricts so far, individual listings are reflecting slight increases in most cases, Mr. Ctarstarphen said. Some of the list-takers are fairly rushed now, but a last minute push to get their names on the books before February I by some property owners can now' be safely predicted.

Perfect Organization For Fourth War Bond Campaign Starting In The County Tuesday, January 18 Draft Authorities Plan Pre-induction Tests For Draftees —•— Ne« Plan Will Abolish Pres ent “Screening” Exami nations after Feb. 1st A plan to eliminate uncertainties among draft eligibles concerning whether they are physically accept able for service and to provide a minimum of three weeks' notice of induction was announced by Nation al Selective Service Headquarters a few days ago. This will be done by: Abolishing the present system of “screening” examinations by local boards. Giving pre-induction (final) ex aminations at least 21 days before the induction date. Doing away with all post indue tion furloughs, now three weeks in the Army and one week in the Navy. The new system does not apply to registrants ordered to report for in duction before February 1, but local boards will begin at once to order a substantial number of men now in class 1-A to report for the pre-in duction examinations, in addition to taking enough men in the old man ner to meet their January quotas. At first, these men may be induct ed twenty-one days after passing their physical, but this interval gradually will be lengthened as a pool of physically acceptable men is built up. If a registrant passes his physical and still has not been in ducted 90 days later, he must be giv en a new pre-induction physical be fore being called. Although the local “screening” is to be abandoned, any registrant who believes he has an obvious disquali fying defect may request and be given an examination by a local board physician and be rejected without having to undergo the com plete pre-induction physical which will be given by the armed forces. The pre-induction tests, to be giv en at the induction stations by Army and Navy doctors, were established to comply with the wishes of Con gress. The examining doctors will classi fy acceptable men in three groups, “Army General Service,” “Army Limited Service,” and “Navy” (in cluding Marines and Coast Guard). Local boards hereafter will re ceive Army and Navy quotas instead of one general call for men us here tofore. The boards will fill their Army quotas from men classified for the Army by the examining doc tors, and Navy quotas in the same way. Generally, tvniy, ivgssUavG in.. Claaa 1 A will be ordered to report for pre-induction examinations. However, any registrant may re quest his local board to send him for such an examination, and if the lo cal board determines that he is due to be called up shortly, even though he may not be in 1 - A, it is authorized to order the examination. If a registrant wishes immediate induction, he may sign a request be fore taking a pre-induction physical, and if he passes the physical, he will be inducted at once instead of wait ing twenty-one or more days.

B. Slade at the farm agent’s office. It is planned now to submit the new work sheets to the far mers in the several townships or districts the latter part of next week.

It is quite possible that some er rors were made, but when tue offi cials reviewed the records and found that production requirements oi standards had not been met, then was little else for the authorities tc do except revoke the preferred class ifications, according to one report. No official comment could be had but it was reliably learned that onij one or two of those losing their class ifications had even offered to cut i stock of pulp wood or earnestly han die any task that wuld justify thei keeping the preferred classifications In some instances, according to un official reports, some of the regis trants holding the “C” classificatioi had hired “floating” labor to do thei work while they gallivanted up am down the highways, burning “trac tor” gas and having a big time ii general. It could not be learned how the ap peals can be perfected, but it is cer tain that those who have lost thei classifications may appeal to the dis trict board before they are orderei to report for induction. -v Quotas For Various Districts Are Fixed By Group Meeting —$— ('linirinnii H.
