Consequently Friday, November 13, has been set as a dosing date for this market.

Cora Wootan | Bynum, wife of the late Robert William Bynum, died unexpectedly early : Saturday morning at her home near 1 Stantonsbyjfe, following a heart attack. Mrs. Bynum wis born fa Greene County on Sept. 24, 1882, the daughter of William Isen and Julia Speight j Wooten. She was married in 1907. Her husband died in 1927. She is I survived by four worn: R. W., Jr., Edwin Council, Jamee Wooten of ( Stantonaburg, and Allan Speight, now | hi the armed femes located an the. ; West Coast. Five grandchildren survive, one brother, Dr. W. I. Wooten, ' Greenville, and one sister, Mrs. H. J. , Holden, of Snow Hill, and a number j of neice and nephews. 3 Mrs. Bynum was prominently ■con, reacted in Eastern Carolina and was ja leader in the civic, social and religious life of the community. j'M The devastation of Europe by Nasi hordes, like 'a destructive I begins to aap the foundations of "new order" that Hitler has ti in vain to erect.

There ere reports, too, of decreased war! output by the Nazis, enslaved wot*] era. Those to occupied lands—weakened by pAvations and sullenly resisting "cooperation," also deliver fat less products of all kinds, including foods. __ „ '¥ Except for potatoes, this yearns European harvest is Utow even last year'e subnormal crops, but the effects of acute scarcities are less apparent to the Germans, who have added- to their larders the foods stolen from their victims. By this mean# the Nazis are able to provide an average meat ration at 12Si ounces per week of the iypeb of meats restricted in the U. S. But in Norway, although the official meat ration is 7.1 ounces, actual eonsampiton is far leas on the average. In the Netherlands, the ration is fixed at 10.V ounces, but a Hollander it lucky to get one-third of that amount and for Belgians the allowance i• only 4.9 ounces. Greece ha* no regular meat distribution, the Poles are starvfctg. Italians get from 3\b to 5% ounces of meat^i&Hv^ipilfr;' sausage. Our Rattan Is Weekly iSjpvfj The average adult Briton's ration' of 31 ounces a week includes moat I of all kinds. . He gets 70 percent lass fish and a third less poultry than before the wir, and only en* egg a month. Compared to meat allowances throughout Europe, our voluntary share-the-meat ration of 2^ pounds of "red meat" per person, with no restrictions on liver, kidneys and other "variety" meats, is jf weekly feast. Ride-sharing is a. moat important part of the five-tire program for saving tire* rubber. No extra gasoline rations will be issued to tboso who claim the need for additional gabolwe'to drive to work or for1 necessary business trips, unless they' belong to a car-sharing group, or can' prove that.this is not possible and no other means of transportation is ' available. All member* of group ride cluhs among war workers, however, can get tires recapped, if recapping is needed, and if their tires ire beyond recapping, they may buy new tires of reclaimed rubber. The number of those who may' secure "preferred" or extra-mileage rations have been reduced, bat among those who still have mileage privileges are farmers carrying products to market, farm workers, commercial fishermen and marine workers going to and from their work, doctors, "vaterinaries, nones and ministers engaged in oasential services away from their homes.

The Treasury paid out $5,600 million for war purposes, aa increase of WOO million over August. This amounted to 40 per cent of all payments made in the United States for good* and services during the month. Mr. Nelson's report said four-engined bombers rolled off assembly lines very nearly on schceduje. The output of heavy aircraft showed • marked increase over August, with the out put. of light, trainer-type planes held below August Some new plant* which came into production recently made a much better than anticipated showing. Propeller production continued a major prob[•lera,. although enough propellers have been made thus far to fly all planes. While merchant ship production was 10 per cent above August, actual tonnage delivered was 94 per cent above August—1,009,000 deadweight tons compared with 753,000 in August, ftis was 12 per cent above first of the month forecasts and ap-| proached closely the total production of merchant shipyards last year. | Deliveries of major vessels were greater than forecast, but deliveries of other types were behind expectations. • i tub Army specialist corps, wnicn had inducted approximately -1,300 aien «u abolished, the War Department announced, and all future commissions dinctfy from civil life will be given in the Spedalifrt Beserve until the men commissioned have completed a course of military training.

' - _ Allied air losses were described as "light," in the 12~d*y \*<*dy breakthrough by which the British Imperials hope to smash with finality the Axis positions in Africa. (The victorious British communique was issued about the time the Berlin radio was i 1 |jWl' II "British successes." but insisting that "Marshal Rommel has the situation completely in hand and is in a position to Q*e initiative at any momedt he considers neeessary."

Jay Hw Captured. Among the equipment captured were about 20 machineguns, the Navy aaid. This could mean that ~a number of enemy machinegun nests had been wiped out in fighting west of the airfield. Also capUred, the Navy reported, were two small artillery pieces taken from their Japanese crews. . v _ T ] * Army and Navy planes joined in strafing the enemy and bombing Japanese positions, working in close support of the ground forces battling their way along the beach. •East of the airport, where Japanese reinforcements were to have landed last Monday night and Tuesday morning, the Navy aaid there was no new action to report. Presumably those reinforcements had not swung into an attempt to pierce American defenses set up in anticipation of a Japanese attack. The land battling took the Marines and! soldiers forwaHi two miles to the west with comparatively few casualties last''-Sunday, Washington time. ; .They followed up the next day with several small advances in which enemy equipment was taken. ■ Returning to the attack the following day they centtnued to force the enemy westward,-. No details were given, however, of the latest advances beyond tte statement in the Navy communique that "the advance to the west continued during the morning of November 8" (Solomon Island Time). The np*9C engagements which roared through the ocean about the Solomon Islands for many days apparently cos&med in a lull. Of that phase, 'the Navy's communique said only "There is nothing to report from other ereas." The last major sea engagement reported was on the night of October 26, east of the Stewart Islands ami about 260 milea northeeet of Guadalcanal. There American planes and ships inflicted apparently crippling damape on a large enemy fleet which later was reported to have withdrawn from the Solomon* area.
