A distressed plant Is defined by the WPB as one In which the present number of employees has dropped be low 50 percent of normal the average for the calendar year 1941. Industrial concerns having several departments. one or more of which may be forced to close because of material shortages or for other reasons, also may qualify as distressed plants.

M The campaign win take various forma, and it to being left to the Judg ment of local committees as to ntethous to be employed. Dr. McDonald office however, is offering a number of sug gestions. ' Where professional bands nave to be employed, he doesn't consider, birth day balls the most profitable means of raising funds, but he would say , to communities which already have plan ned such dances, he says "go ahead with your plans," especially wnere string bands or inexpensive music can be secured." The OPA has ruled that gasoline may not be used for trans portation to these dances. Generally speaking, the State Com mittee considers other methods of rais ing money for.thls purpose much more effective than dances, Dr. McDonald says. ' ' i . Among methods employed most ez fectlvelv In the oast have been solici tation of direct contributions, the sale of lapel tabs, tag sates on tbe stseets Just as poppy sales are conducted, birthday greeting cards (provided by the local chairmen) in which eontrtlbu- ttons may be sent directly to the White House and credited to this State, coin boxes, the march of dimes by "school children, sports events, and almost any kind ox Denent party. , . . SOVIETS SHOVE BACK NAZIS IN DON AREA Nazis Stunned By Air Attack Germans Try To Gang Up On U. S. Fortresses But Meet Disaster 34 AXIS PLANES ARE LOST American Flying Fortresses, destroy ing 34 Axis planes aground and aloft in a brilliant raid on Castel Benito air. field, 10 miles south of Tripoli, have torn a considerable hole in the al ready thin air cover on which Field Marshal Rommel Is depending for an enecuve threat from Libya Into Tu nlsla. In this, the heaviest assault yet de livered from the west on the Axis in Tripolltania, not an American plane was lost, Allied headquarters an nounced today. The Fortresses' attack, delivered yes terday, topped all other action in the North African theater, where land OP' eratlons were marked only by patrol encounters In the area between Bou Arada and Goubellat in Tunisia and along Rommel's route of retreat in eastern Tripolitania. While the Allied communique stated only that 14 planes were shot down in sharp running combat during the castel Benito raid, an air force spokes man added that at least 20 German planes were smashed on the ground. He estimated that at least 10 more Nazi craft were damaged in the air tnus bringing the enemy's possible losses to as high as 44 planes. The Axis pilots, flying Messerschmltt 109's, apparently were under Instruc tions to get the Fortresses at all costs. Avoiding the American fighter escort, they swooped upon the big bombers and were' met by terrific blasts from the cannon of the raiders. Eenemy plane after plane plummeted out of action but every Fortress despite the Germans' concentrated effort, reached home safely, although one limped in two hours late on two motors. At the eastern end of the Allied line in Libya the British command an nounced complementary air blows in which five enemy fighters were de stroyed in combat; Tripoli and Horns in Libya and tagrets in Crete, Sicily and on Lampedusa island were success fully attacked. In all these operations two Allied planes were lost. The British communique spoke only of patrol action aground in Libya, but frontline dispatches indicated that the British Eighth army was increasing its pressure on Rommel. Aside from the Castel Benito at tack, Allied headquarters announced that British planes had been bombing the roads behind the Axis positions In Tunisia and that American craft had assaulted bridges between Sousse and Sfax on the Tunisian east soasts. Two German planes were shot donw In an attempted attack on an Allied airfield,' Allied losses in all these ac tions were but a single plane. American Lightning fighter planes sweeping the roads in the Tripoll-tania-Tunisa border region put a long toe of Axis transport under heavy annon and machinegun fire. An air force spokesman estimated that at least 50 trucks, five of them filled with enemy troops, were destroyed. B-28 bombers took part in the aerial show by scoring hits on two bridges one a highway bridge at Le Hencha and another a railroad bridge at Chaaba. Both towns are between Sousse and Sfax. Meanwhile, the German aerial at tempt to wipe out a forward American field met with little success. American P-40s shot down at least one Junkers 88 and a Messerschmltt 109 in the Nasi escort BISHOP PURCELL TO BE 1 AT CENTRAL CHURCH Win Speak At Mid-Week gerricea At 7:3 O'clock Oa Wednesday Announcement has been made that BishopClare PurceU, President of the two , Carolina , Conferences of -the Methodist Church, will be the guest speaker of .a midweek rally at Central aietnoaist cnurcn , on Wednesday, March 3rd. at 7:30 p. m.

THE WAR IN BRIEF New Soviet offensive, fifth in the current campaign, announced by Nazis to have been thrown in area of Voronezh, strongest Red position in 1,000-mile stretch bntween Mos cow and Black Sea. Information suggests supreme Russian effort of war now at hand. Raid in North Africa by U. S. Flying Fortresses smashes at least 34 Nasi planes without tingle American loss. Attack gives con siderable promise for apparent strategy of outting up Rommel's Libyan foraea by air and weaken Axis army in Tunisia before pre sumed plan for Juncture In defense of Tunis and Btserte can be real ized.

Citizens Urged To Cooperate Ration Book No. 2 Has Not Arrived; Friday Last Day To Get Book 1 RECEIVE MANY INQUIRIES It was stated today at the local ra tioning board that large numbers of citizens are calling at the board for War Ration Book No. 2. As yet these books have not arrived and no orders for Issuing these books have been re ceived. Applicants for the books are urged to refrain from applying for them until further notice. It was pointed out, however, that all those who have failed to get War Ration Book No. 1, will not be eligible to apply for the new book unless they have this one. Friday, January 15 Is the final date on which application lor the book can be made. The manner in which the new book will be issued, will be assembly line tactics, it was announced Tuesday, from the Atlanta office. It is thought tnis system of registration will speed up tne issuance of the 23,000,000 ra tlon books No. 2, considerably in the southeast. This is how the new plan will work, according to information from that office: To avoid overcrowding the regis tration will extend over a ten-day period, the starting date yet to be announced, and will be conducted on the basis of alphabetical groups. Persons whose last names begin with A, B, C and D will register on the first and second days. Names be ginning with E, F, G, H, I, J and K will sign up on the third and fourth days. The L, M, N, O, P. Q and R group will appear on the fifth and sixth days and S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z on the seventh and eighth days. On the ninth and tenth days, all persons who failed for good cause to register when their letters were called, will be reglostered. The system will work in this man, an OPA statement said: Only persons who present war ra tion book one will be admitted to registration headquarters. Each person will then fill out a declaration for excess stocks of ra tioned goods on hand, and will also declare excess stocks of coffee. The coffee declaration will be based on the amount in excess of one pound per person on 'hand November 28 when the coffee rationing program went into effect, and stamps will be deducted from war ration book one. After coffee deductions are made, the registrant will go to the distri bution unit where a declaration clerk will take the filled In form and tear out the necessary number of point coupons. Identifying information taken from book one will be filled In on the face of book two by a recording clerk, who will then pass the registrant on to a document clerk. To complete the registration, the document clerk will assign a serial number for each ration book, and a validating clerk will stamp the num ber on the face of each book. This complete the process, and the book will then be turned over to the regis trant. WEST MONROE NEWS We had a real good service at West Monroe Baptist church Sunday eve ning.

BROUGHTON WAR BONUS IDEA GETS OPPOSITION Dissension Arises In Legislature Over Extra Appropriation For Bonuses. Dissension arose in the legislature Wednesday over the supplemental ap propriations bill to provide war bonuses for school teachers and other state employes. The House appropriations committee temporarily balked yesterday on meas ures to set up a $22,000,000 post-war reserve fund and on the supplemental measure, both of which were recom mended by Governor Broughton. The chief executive endorsed a record gen eral expenditure of $105,060,538 during the next blennlum and, in addition, proposed an additional $9,188,629 be tween January 1, 1943, and January 1, 1945, as bonuses for state employes receiving less than $4,500 a year. The House committee postponed ac tion on both measures until next Tuesday. Several members said they believed the appropriations bill should be handled first, so that monies need ed for operation of the budget would not be taken away. Rep. Spruill of Bertie indicated dis agreements had arisen over the meas ures and predicted the supplemental measure would meet much opposition. The Joint finance committee, mean while, postponed action, tentatively until this afternoon, on the revenue act, designed to raise approximately $104,000,000 during the next two fiscal years. Members said they wanted to study it before entering a discussion. Without dissent the House finance committee voted to favorably report a bill by Rep. Barker of Durham to exempt members of the armed forces and merchant marine from paying poll taxes. A war note has been sounded throughout the week-old session. It was taken Into account in the gov ernor's biennial message last Thursday when he urged the members "to keep the faith" with men in service. He referred to it again ysterday by say ing, "the uncertainty of the times and the unpredictable circumstances of the next two-year period present many difficulties in the matter of estimating revenue." At a meeting which the governor himself called, legislators were told that this state had enough iron ore and plentp of coal with which to make sponge iron. The speaker was Herman A. Brassert, metallurgist who wa sinvited to look over North Carolina's iron and coal resources. He said there were at least 65,000,000 tons of recoverable coal in this state and that gas would be a valuable by product since it emerges from the ore better in heating and illuminating qualities than when it entered. Sponge iron units, he said, can be built on a modest scales compared with the 12 or 15 millions required to put a blast furnace into operation. LAND TRANSFERS H. C. Nesbit to J. M.

A number of cases are scheduled for trial at the regular meeting of the board, Monday after noon for violation of the ban and they have been notified to appear "for trial." The board under the recent ruling will have the power to revoke, suspend or tailor a ration. Testimony will be offered and taken. According to Instructions received today by the rationing board, family or personal necessity driving which will be permitted under the order shall be deemed to include: essential shipping, procuring medical aid, attending re ligious services, attending wakes or funerals, attending meetings directly related to the occupation or profession of the owner or person using the ve hicle or meetings directly related to the war effort, driving for meeting emergencies involving a threat to loss of life, property or health.
