It was understood that the na. tionalists had nnassed their entire air fleet for the final phase of the attack, bringing planes in from other sections. Fighting was ferocious. Attack after attack along the Manzanares river was made and repulsed, but each time the fiationalists seemed nearer suc- cess.
 One Tank Into River
 At one point nationalist tanks crossed the Manzanares in dar- ing raid and reached the city prop CT, only to be forced back by fire from anti-tank guns and loyalist militiamen who hurled hand gre- nades at them. One tank went into the shallow river on the way back and it's motor was stalled. The crew of two shot themselves.

Bows Al Club News

Mr.. McCauley, our All Club
leader from the State, visited our
school on Friday, October 10, and
gave us a lecture on the "Culling
of Chickens" He stated that farm
ers of Delaware made more money
from Chickens than any other
farm product. Culling can be done
by two methods, stated Mr.. Nc
Cauley. The first which is rather
expensive and is therefore inadvis-
able, is trapping the bird. By this
method the bird is numbered and
a check is made of the number of
eggs that bird lays in a period of
time. The other method is the
method of culling by noticing the
characteristics of the bird. He
stated that good layers could be
noted by the following character
istics: large, alert, and promin-
ent eye: a red, waxy, soft comb;
a wide body and head; and a blu
ish white, elongated, soft and pill
able vent. In order to check on
this method, Mr. McCauley advised
the boys to divide their chicken
houses into two sections. They
could then check on the number of
eggs that the culls produce. He
concluded with the statement that
birds three years old should be sold
as their years of usefulness as
good layers are practically over.

The Seventh Grade News

Inc SeVcntn OFdQc news
We, the seventh grade, have
been studying the habits and char
acteristics of various birds in our
literature class. Here are a few
interesting facts we have discov-
cred about the following birds.
The cuckoo is hardly ever seen.
1t is a bird with dark feathers and
a curved bill. 1t lays its eggs in
the nest of other birds. The song
of the cuckoo is Cuckoo Cuckoo. !"
The sandpiper is a small shore
bird, named for its habit of run
ming on the sand, and for its con-
slant call "peep-peep." 1t is a
good swimmer and is narvelously
quick in dodging waves just as
they are about to break over its
head.
The wren is about four and three
quarter inches long. 1t ranges
over eastern North America.
Above, he is cinnamon olive, brown
below, grayish white. His tiny
body and strong feet make it easy
for him to creep into hidden hooks
for insects. He places his nest,
which is made of twigs, lined with
grass, in a tree or bind-box near
our houses. His song is delivered
with considerable energy. He rails
es his head and his dropping tail
trembles with the force of his sud-
den song. He is a nervous, excit-
able little fellow and Is never still.
The robin is about ten inches
long. The rufous breast of the
robin gives him his name, robin
redbreast. The top and sides of
his head are black with a white
spot above and below the eye. His
bill is yellow. The outer margin
of wings is light gray. His tail is
black with white spots on the tips
of the outer feathers. The Robin
breeds in the u. S. except in the
gulf states. While he eats earth
worms his diet is chiefly wild fruit
He also eats may insects and real

In the first quarter Biddle made
the first goal. We played hard
but no more goals during that
quarter could we make. In the
second quarter, we started settling
down to hard work. Hill made
the first goal and Massey came in
with two goals. Our second quart
er ended with 4 goals, a total of
8 points. After five minutes rest
at the half we started out with
Smith making one goal. In the
last quarter Pearce made two, Hill
made one, Massey made one more,
and Smith one. The game ended

Tuesday, October 13, we played

when we bucked up against this

every effort and played very hard

got the ball in their half of the
field, and Clifton Bickling scored in
the second quarter. We nearly
scored a second time but the ball
rolled foul. The lineup was:

Soccer Game at Hartly

On October Is, the Soccer Team
of Clayton returned the game with
Hartly by playing at Hartly. Try
ing hard for their fourth straight
win, our boys were able to get a
2 to 0 lead by the end of the first
half. Both points came as a re-
suit of two penalty kicks called
against the Hartly backfeld. One
was scored by Ross while the other
was scord by Gooding. In the last
half Clayton was able to score two
more goals, making the final score
4 to O. Thes goals as result of
kicks by Horn and Pusey. The
game was hard-fought but Clayton
easily showed its superiority. The
Clayton lineup was same as in
st. Georges game This marks the
end of the rst half of our schedule.
At present we are undefeated and
with a few breaks should be able
to hold our own in our remaining
games with Townsend, st. Georges
and Sudlersville. Go to it, boys of
the gold and blue; we're backing
you. In the words of yells-

"As it expresses itself in current
