American Forces
Being Squeezed
Into Small Area
, The North Korean forces,
springing an ail-night attack after
seizing Yongdong, drove deeper on
the Western front. The blow caught1
the First Cavalry Division off balance
while it was withdrawing
from the fallen Yongdong. 11
The communist forces hit on the , *
right flank and left flank forcing !
the Americans back further than' i
they had planned. j1
Reports state that the U. S. Navy (
warships were still inflicting heavy
casualties on Red troops along the '
east coast. An American destroyer
blasted the vicinity of the rubfotari
r?itv rrf Yionffdok. north of the '
American beachhead.
The American forces are being
squeezed onto the small area surrounding
Pusan on the southeast I
tip of tfee Korean peninsula. General
Mac Arthur announced that
the Americans would not be driven
tram the peninsula.
% ttacArthur's operational report
made it dear that more withdrawals
may be necessary before
a tank-tight perimeter can be
formed to salvage a beachhead
* tor future operation.
Against the massive red forces
ane only the newly blooded First
Cavalry Division, the 25th Division
and some South Korean tieve >
These are taking the full bruzft <oi
the assault that was delayed' in
the month-long fighting by South
Koreans and the badly battered
24th Division which have not been
beard from recently.
It is necessary to hold on now
in order to avoid the necessity of
a costly beachhead later by amphibious
operations from Japan
which is 100 miles from Pusan.

Whenever military events take
a new or sudden turn some civilians
begin to view the soldier as
i veritable fountain of reliable
Information. Over night the man
in uniform becomes a walking en:yclopedia.
It isn't do bad that people wont
to look on men of the Army as
such learned creatures. The trouble
is that occasionally a soldier
nrlll accept the proffered cloak of 1
wrjsJfMn and begin to enlighten his
tsss infui?ui feQowman. Tfce re-1
rait in such instances is sst just
an uninformed listener bat a con-1
fused listener as well. !
These self-styled experts <*m

into three groups, the information

FARM TRAINEES
OF QUALLA AREA
TO MEET TODAY
John H. Corbin, Instructor of
Vocational Training and Director
of Adult Farmer Training of the
county, has asked the members of
the Qualla Adult Farmers class to
meet him at the Qualla school
house this Thursday evening at
8:00 o'clock. The purpose of the
meeting is to collect soil samples
and to discuss sowing of grass and
alfalfa. "I wish the men would
collect their samples and bring to
the meeting with them so I can
Dack and send it away for testing."
Mr. Corbin said. Collect a pint of
top soil and a pint of subsoil from
half dozen spots to make up the
sample from a uniform field. Keep
top soil and subsoil separate and
label.
The above class met Monday,
July 24 at 2:30 at the farm of John
Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson had a,
plantfood institute fertilizer demonstration
on his farm. The institute
furnishes 1000 lbs. of 2-1212
fertilizer per acre of grass.
Your cows can tell where the minerals
have been put and they will
graze it better. Die fertilizer stops
the growth of broomsedge. We
sampled this acre to see what else
it needs.
A large number of farmers came
out despite the rain.

to a shortage of food available to
