However, it is knoyn that the three i leaders were in accord in the progress r of the war and on plans for the post- war world. By necessity, little was said about plans agreed upon for the ,u hastening of the war, or of prospec- I v iive drives against the Axis. It was! , v stated that the Big 3 made plan for attacking Germany on the East, "South and West. The balance of the " '' plans were left for the Nazis to 1 guess. " v Following the meeting of the Big Jf$ t Teheran, Prime Minister Church i '4U and President Roosevelt were re , , kx ported to have met with leaders of i f Turkey, and reports issued from Ber- Un, later, gave out impressions that rTurkey may now join wholeheartedly ' :M,with the Allies in the war against P Germany. It is known that Turkey I wishes to have a place at the peace i i conference and is vitally interested in "'conditions in the Balkans, therefore, ' it may be possible that new actions "will ie forthcoming in the Mediter ' ranean area. it While the news of the important ti conference held most of the headlines this week, reports from Moscow an- j ' nounced the Red Army was stalled in fighting near Kiev.

Winslow, Jr., chairman of the Perquimans County salvage commit tee, announced today that his com mittee had, after considering the lack of interest shown in the recent effort to collect scrap iron and steel, decid ed to continue the campaign throush part of January. The committee will thus delay the awarding of the war bond prize to the school gathering the greatest amount of scrap, until the campaign is closed on January 15 Mr. Winslow stated the results obtained thus far did not warrant the awarding of a Drize. and the committee holies tiiat by continuing the campaign and anu- nb- awarding the bond after the arv date, better results will 1 tained. I The chairman said that little in ti i !.s'. has oct .i siioi. ii oy tor people generally, and so far a.- he knew, the only scrap collected had been that gathered by his crew of men and donated to Um stock pile at the Cen tral (irammar School. He added tiiat the information he gave regarding the sale of scrap also showed small results. The committee decided to continue I C e scrap drive until January 15, and beginning on January .'id, a concen trated effort will be made to gather all available scrap material for ship ment to war plants, where the scrap is badly needed to carry on the pro duction of war materials. Mr. W inslow stated, in regards to the awarding of the war bond to the 'school gathering the greatest amount of scrap, that the present scrap ma terial gathered during the past month, will he counted toward the final awarding of the bond. He urged the people of this county, who have scrap, to get into this campaign an1 see that all scrap ma terials now lying about hoi.ses, farm.-, etc., be iollecte.1 and turned over to his committee. "It is a sad state when we know there is a great amount of old iron and steel lying around do i ing no good, which will niaVe weapons to hasten victory, but for the lack of ' interest on the part of the people i will not get this material to the stock piles," the chairman said Tax Listers Named By Commissioners The Doaru ot County Commission ers, meeting in regular session on Monday morning, appointed list tak ers for 1944 taxes.
