The loss of the French fleet adj
mittedly would be grave blow for
Britain. The French navy of 804, 7l3
tons. was the fourth most powerful
in the world. Only Britain, the
United States and Japan have big
ger fleets and if the French forces
are taken over intact by the AXIS
powers they will have tonnage APP
proXimately equal to that OF Brit
ain.
The French navy included IL

1902 submarines. mine layers, escort
vessels submarine chaSerS, gun
boasts and training ships.
Churchills speech again centered
attention on preparations for with
standing an offensive by the Axis
powers against the British Isles,
which were visited by German
planes during the night.
The death toll mounted to five
when two bodies were recovered
from a demolished house adjoin-
ing hospital in southwestern
England. Bombs were dropped over
wide area. The dead represented
casualties in southwestern England
since the war started. Six civilians
were wounded in other parts of the
country.
The crash of bombs was heard in
many areas. Searchlight batteries
sent their beams into the sky in
search of raiders. Anti-aircraft guns
burst into fire and royal air force
fighter planes were soon up.
Reports came that both demoh-
ton and incendiary bombs were
being dropped.
The most widespread alarms of
the entire war showed that German
planes, evidently in great number
were ranging almost the entire
58,340 square miles of England and
Wales. Alarms were sounded in all
corners of the country in the md
lands, in the Thames estuary area,
III Wales and in London.

Penny-Wise, Pound
Foolish

So many individuals and organi-
cations promoting affairs which
they expect the public to support,
do not give their promotion the
chance of success.
The saying "You must spend
money to make money" may be old
and very trite, but it is surely the
truth if ever told. People in this
community hold direct successful
affairs are coming to realize that
if any public entertainment is to
be successful it must be advertised
in every manner possible.
These same persons, or at least
the majority of them, have recog-
nized that the most economical and
most trustworthy kind of advertis-
ing is that offered by the news
paper. An 84c ad in this paper will
be read by more people than will
read 10000 handbills, costing in ex-
cess of $50.
The advertising department of
this paper is always ready and
willing to help promoters map out
complete newspaper campaigns.
This department has helped many
public teas, programs, rallies,
dances and picnics along the road
to large crowds and money in the
till when the affair is over. News
paper advertising may seem to cost
more, but it costs no more because
it produces more results.
Look around for proof and the
fair observer will see that most af-
fairs which are failures either
have nothing to offer or do not use
newspaper advertising. Ninety
nine per cent of the successful en-
tertainments given in this city use
newspaper publicity and advertis-
ing. It's service can hardly be du-
plicated by any other medium or
method of getting the crowds.

I want to take this means in

the free publicity on the dance held

help send Charles Beasley to the
New York Worlds Fair with the
North High school band.
Some day we may perfect To-

it will take individuals like your
self and the many other fine people
who contributed to this cause, to
bear the burden of our struggles.
Very truly yours,
