fourth was rescued. He suffered an
arm injury.
Reports at Edinburgh tonight
indicated that five or more-some
messages said seven = German
planes had been brought down dur
ing today's Nazi raid. These reports
lacked official confirmation, how
ever The ministry of home secur-
ity announced that the German
raiders caused no civilian casualties
and that there was no damage to
property.
Indicating that more than three
German planes were in the attack
ing squadron, it was understood
that survivors" were driven back
over the North sea by pursuing
Royal air force fighters.
1t was announced that no bombs
fell on land but the German raiders
did release bombs which fell into
the sea.
1t was believed that the objective
of the attack was the Rosyth dock
yard and naval base on the Firth
of Forth, and the bridge, one of
the largest in Europe.
Reports after the raid said that
three members of the crew of an
other German plane were captured
in the Pentland Hills.
The enemy raiders were met as
they reached the coast by Royal
air force fighters and anti-aircraft
gun-fire. Shrapnel fell in the
streets of Edinburgh but no air raid
alarm was sounded.
The Firth Of Forth bridge is be-
tween Edinburgh and Rosyth but
nearer Rosyth, which is on the
opposite side of the Firth from
Edinburgh.
The bridge is 2,765 yards long.
1t was built in 1888, extending from
Queensferry to North Queensferry,
in Fife. The Rosyth naval base
lies about two miles northwest of
the bridge, and thus would be cut
off from the sea if the bridge was
destroyed blocking the channel.
On September 27, Germany
claimed that a 10,OO0-ton British
cruiser was damaged off the Isle

Requested Changes of Names In Old-A Insurance Records Made At The Rate of 1,500 A Day

With June wedding bells in the offing the Social Security Board is now preparing to ham, de its annual peak load of brid al applications for changes in names on their old-age insurance accounts.
 Weddings, differences between actual names and those on the pay roll, and just plain person. al preference have resulted in ap proximately 100000 changes in the old-age insurance records, according to Hugh J. Wade, Terri torial Director of the Social Se- curity Boards office at Juneau, Alaska.
 He added that in response to requests from workers with so- cial security accounts, changes of names are being made at the rate of 1,500 a day.
 MT. Wade explained that the Board early recognized the de- sirability of recording not only the actual name of a participant in the old-age insurance system, but his or her name as it. ap- pears currently on the pay roll.
 Newly married women are re- sponsible for the greater percent age of changes. The proneness of women to change their names is also reflected in the request for alterations in the records. For example, numerous cases of wo- men named Elizabeth want to be known as Betty, Lisbeth or Beth or Bette or Lizzie, because their names appear that way on the pay roll. Aside from marriage, the most frequent reason for a change of name is the use of a working name other than the actual name of the wage earner.
 To facilitate changes in the records, the Board has distribut- ed at all field offices form for applicants to fill out showing the name already appearing on the records and the change desired.

Necessity for Public Support
 The Same Can be Said of Nome

No municipality, district or large area can hope to share all the federal, state, territorial or commercial or other aids and benefits to which it is entitled without the united action of it's own people. Such action must and always is carried on through the cooperation of its more pub Inc spirited and hard working citizens.
 In practically every American community the essential non-pol itical agency for such purpose is its Chamber of Commere, or a1- lied junior Chambers.
 Right here in Fairbanks the fact is amply demonstrated Ev- cry appeal to Congress, the Terri tory or influential branches of government or the commercial world, in order to receive accred tied recognition, must go through some such representative body.
 Now more than ever Fairbanks $ witnesses the necessity of keep ing alive the Chamber of Com mere. There are many projects under way or in prospect for which this body is working and IS expected to keep on working.
 To perform this service it is necessary to have revenues, dues from the members-1and the mem ibers should be many. Everyone residing in Fairbanks and vicin- ity reaps benefits from the ef- forts of the body. And by this token it is duty of all business interests to support the institu- ton from which they benefit.
 The Chamber is now obligated several hundred dollars beyond what it has in its treasury-and has much vital new work to per form.
 The situation is plain. Pay your dues promptly, and If you are mot member join up, and con- tribute your modest share. No better investment can be made by any individual or business con eern.
 And after contributing in dues go a step further and attend the Chamber meetings-always keen and giving you contact with the iive-Wire progressive men and important visitors people who are sure 10 help open for you a

ADVICE TO FRUIT MEN

A vigorous self-examnation is helpful at all

lime and avocado growers of South Florida should
not take amss the advice of Carl Piowaty, man.
ager of the Florida Avocado and Lime Growers
Exchange, to give the industry a good house

The fruit industry of Florida has suffered
from internal troubles which have impeded and
harassed every plan to expand markets and eff
feet adequate and timely distribution of products.
1t has been dinned time and again into fruit
mems ears what Piowaty told the lime and avo-

of fruit Bad fruit has been the downfall of the
industry, marketing of inferior fruit and lack of
Juice content has made the housewife cease buy

aimed primarily at educating" the public at

also have preparatory course for the industry
itself in which those concerned would learn some
very fundamental truths about themselves and
making their business successful
