Chimara Falls to Hard Fight
ing Forces as Italians
Continue Retreat
CAPTURE 30 OFFICERS
Athens, Dec. 23 —The Greek
government announced today the
capture of Chimara, a strategi
cally important Italian supply
base on the Albanian coast be
tween Valona and Porto Edda.
Announced at the same time
was the capture of the 153 rd bat
talion of the Fascist militia, made
up of 800 men and 30 officers.
The Italians were reported in
disorderly flight toward Valona,
pursued by a Greek motorized
column. Greek military sources
said possession of Chimara open
ed the way for the counterinvad
ers to advance swiftly toward the
Italian-held port over a good
coastal highway.
The Greeks earlier had report
ed skirting the town and said
their troops were fighting for
ward toward the port of Valona,
on the Adriatic, less than 30 miles
up the coast.
A Greek spokesman said then
that Chimara was "under abso
lute control of our artillery." and
the Greek forces were reported
"shooting the works" to keep the
Italians in retreat.
Twenty miles to the northeast,
on a second road to Valona, the
Greeks claimed "brilliant suc
cesses" in a "very large scale"
battle for control of the moun
tainous Tepeleni-Klisura region.
The Greek spokesman declared
the Italians were smashed back
there with heavy losses after a
determined stand of nearly a
week.
SMALL CHANCE OF
WHITE CHRISTMAS
There was little prospect Mon
day of a white Christmas for the
nation.
Temperatures already above
normal probably will rise even
higher in most sections of the
country Christmas Eve, G. E.
Dunn, weather forecaster at Chi
cago, predicted.
There was no forecast of snow
in any section and light snow
that fell late last week in North
Carolina, New England, New
York, Michigan, lowa, Nebraska,
the Dakotas and Colorado was ex
pected to melt under the rising
mercury. Even the heavy snows
of four to 12 inches which early
last week buried northern Wis
consin and Minnesota were ex
pected to shrink.
BRITISH PUSH
AIR OFFENSIVE
London, Dec. 23.—British bomb
ers pressed a new attack on
Mannheim, important Rhineland
rail junction, and targets in west
ern Germany, during the night,
climaxing a busy week-end of
raids against Germany, Italy and
four Nazi-conquered countries.
(Reports from Switzerland that
unidentified planes passed ovcjr
the Alps last night for the second
consecutive indicated the
British also might have struck
again into Italy. The Swiss re
ports said Bern, Basel and Zurich
had alarms and 11 persons were
injured by bombs dropped near
Zurich.)
LONDON, Dec. 23— Foreign
Secretary Viscount Halifax,
erstwhile appealer and "man
of Munich," today became
Britain's ambassador to the
United States in a move that
restored dapper Anthony Eden
as foreign secretary- Eden,
leaving his post as war min
ister, returns to the same post
which he quit in February of
1938 in protest against the ap
peasement policies and cod
dling of the dictators under
Lord Halifax and the late Nev
ille Chamberlain, then prime
minister.
JR. WOMAN'S CLUB WILL
HOLD CHRISTMAS DANCE
Plans are In readiness for the
annual Christmas dance of the

band furnishing music for the
dancers. Both the main dining
room and ball room will be used
for the dance. The proceeds of
the dance will go toward the club
playground fund.
The public is cordially invited
to attend.
TAR HEELS DON'T
EAT ENOUGH EGGS
Raleigh, Dec. 23.—C. P. Parrish,
extension poultry specialist at N.
C. State College, said today that
North Carolinans eat only 69 per
cent, as many eggs as the average
United States citizen.
"This is serious, especially in
view of the fact that health is an
important defense factor, and eggs
are one of our two most perfect
foods, milk being the other."
Getting His Number
A traveling salesman was regis
tering at a small hotel and a bed
bug crawled slowly across the
page.
"Well," he said, "I've been bit
ten by all sorts of bugs in hotels
but this is the first time I ever
saw one crawl down to see what
room I'd be in."
Knows His Powder
"I want a box of powder for my
sister, please," said the angel
child.
"The kind that goes off with a
bang?" asked the jolly old chem
ist.
"No, clever, the kind that goes
on with a puff." .
