Three giant bombers speeding low protected by 15 swift pursuit planes, roared over the city be fore dusk, then dived on govern ment forces near the Toledo bridgehead. Huge clouds of smoke and de bris rose skyward as the succes sive detonations shook Madrid. Again the planes dived, their machine-gunners pouring lead on the shallow government trenches fringing the city. One of the attacking planes was shot' down, the government reported. A German pilot of an other fascist bomber, officials said landed at Alcala de Henares and surrendered to the government. The trenches west of the city's gates were evacuated repeatedly during today's bombardment, but the miliatiamen swarmed back into them as soon as the planes sped away. Government infantry, swept to within 500 yards of the Toledo gate and Angel bridge last night, said they had pushed back their attackers on the south a distance of two miles from the bridge. -ELKS DEFEATED HERE 21 TO 20 Windsor Makes Thrilling 90- yard Run to Score After Taking Kickoff MEET HARMONY NOV. 20 Playing their best game of the season, and losing by one point due to loss of yardage by a pen alty in the last quarter, the Elks of Elkin high school went down in defeat here Friday before a strong Children's Home team by the score of 21-20.

The commissioners also reach ed an agreement with the Town of Jonesville whereby Jonesville will pay a yearly sum of $250 for fire protection, this agreement to become effective January 1, 1937. Until that date, Elkin's fire de partment will continue to an swer alarms in Jonesville without charge, as has been the custom • during the past. In confining the activity of the local firemen to Elkin and Jones ville alone, it was pointed out that it is not fair to Elkin taxpayers to use the expensive new equip ment on calls from outside the town limits. It was stated that untold damage could occur should a fire break out locally while the truck was out on a call to some point outside the town limits. The cost of upkeep of the new truck, new hose and pay to firemen is paid by Elkin taxpayers alone, it was said, and those who live without the town limits should not expect free service by the de partment. It was also pointed out that Jonesville, in agreeing to pay $250 yearly for use of the Elkin fire department, is getting off light for protection. In addition to Elkin having to foot the bills for the new equipment, personnel etc., the water used in fighting Jonesville fires is also the prop erty of Elkin, the hydrants there not being equipped with water meters. At Monday night's meeting', .the commissioners also instructed Dixie Graham, town tax collector, to turn over delinquent 1933-34 taxes to W. M. Allen, town attor for collection.
