Separation of the members of family
groups is inevitable at pna**
and grief and suspense are weighing
heavily on the hearts of those trying
to "keep the homefiree burning,
thus the need of assembling ®
union meetings for a season of devotion
and renewed inspiration ha#
been deepened and is more kee^
felt this year, perhaps, than ever before
due to the unavoidable disruption
of family life forced upon a
liberty and home-loving people.

been completed and the executive
committee, which met this week, had
not been assured of the of
the president, William Sherrod Tywm,

going forward with preparations and

the purpose, not only of giving&is
family group an opportunity to recount

The proclamation read:
"God's help to as has been great
in this year of march toward worldwide
liberty. In brotherhood with
warriors of other United Nations (Mr
gallant men have won victories, have
freed our homes from fear and have
laid the foundation for freedom of
life in a world which will be fres.
"Our forges and hearths and mills
have wrought well; and our weapons
have not failed. Our fathers victory
gardeners, and crop volunteers have
gathered and stored a heavy harvest
in the - bams and bins sad cellar*.
Our total food production for, the
year is the greatest in the annals of
our country.
"For all these things we are devoutly
thankful, knowing also that
to great mercies exact from us
the greatest measure of sacrifice
and service.
"Now, There/ore, I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President of the United
States of America do hereby designate
Thursday, November 25, 1948,

the month by a high sssolvs on the
part of all to produce and save food
and to "share and play square" with
food.
"May we on Thanksgiving Pay
and on every day express our gratitude

to our duties as indivduals and as a
naton. May each of us dedcate his
utmost efforts to speeding the civtory
which will bring nnw opportunities
for peace and brotherhood among
men."

Farmers To cm patients,
Approximately 20 percent of the
fourth quarter production of flashlight
batteries will be distributed to

Fertiliser Outlook.
American farmers will have more
nitrogen and slightly less potash in
the 1943-44 "fertilizer year," than
they had in the previous year, according
to testimony of WPB officials before
a senate sub-committee on agriculture
and forestry. Farmers should
have fouT ioos of nitrogen for every
three they had last year,-according
to present indications, WPB it endeavoring
to make additional quantities,
o# potash available for agriculture
in 1944-46.
More Hosiery For Children.
| Production at infants' and Children's
hosiery will be stopped up
shortly as a result of priority assistance
given to manufacturers for
procurement of necessary yarn. The
WPB action resulted from a falling
supply of infants' and children's
stocking. | r

third time in tabsthm 48 hoars on
Monday, Wrecking enemy Alps and
installations^ a U. S. Pacific fleet
comrauniaue announced today.
The four-motored bombers, hi the
dsspaat pwitnahni yet by landbased
plane* of Japan's extern defense
perimeter, blasted Jaluit and
MiBe atolls fa the Marshall* and
Makfa Island In the Gilberts, late
Mafctey afternoon.1
At Jahift, the raiders scored
heavily against Japaneee seaplane
bssee, ha^n; shops and damp
areas, on Imeiji and Jabor islands,
which are part of the atoll, the
commaaiqae said. Of five ships anchored
fa the laaoefa one watt left

The oommuniqae added that saver*!
fires resulted fa the attack on
Mille, east af Jaluit, while cloud
conditions orer Makin prevented accurate
observance of the damage.
As fa the case of the two previous
raids on the Marshall and Gilberts,
last Saturday night and Sunday,
the Seventh Air Force bomben
met no Japanese interceptors
although they were subjected to
sharp anti-aircraft fire. M» planes
were" loot or penonnel injured, in
any of the three attacks.
Possibly pointing up the recent
statement by Admiral Chester W.
Nimits, commander-in-chief at the
Pacific fleet, that "the time has
come for as to attack," the raids
marked aft intensification of midPacific
aerial warfare.

Acknowledging1 a latent threat to
ZWtomlr and Korostischcw, Moscow's
operational and supplementary
communiques reported that the
Bed Army had abandoned several
towns and villages in the ana of
those points and nnnsMidatad themselves
in naw positions under the
pressure of desperate German cotsvter-attacks.
But though they fell bade near
Zhitomir and KorostiAev, the Bnasians
scored impressive gains on
other front*, fe'v
They poised for the kill at Bechttsa,
made their first gain in weeks
w of Zaporoshe, drove to within
five miles of Gorosten in a 10-mile
advance, and brought immediate
pressure on the northern outskirts
ef Gomel.' „
The berttie of the Dnieper valley
raged along a 400-mile ftnmt from
Reel tea on the north to the Zaporothe
area on the south. The Germans,
indicating that Adolf Hitler
is not yet resigned to the loss of
his "Dnieper Una," maaeed men
and material on the front west of
Kiev wherri they achieved their first
minor success in months.
The towns and villager regained
by the GetDtep* In the Zhitomir-Korostishe

78 armored units and upwards of
1,500 men, Mbicow disclosed.
"The enem) concentrated large

of his heavy looses, threw these
