This drive, intended to slice across southern Belgium, was an attempt to cut of the Allied forces defending Brussels and An- twcrp by flanking movement while other Nazi forces engaged the Brit lsh, French and BelglanS along the Dyle river defense line and at Na- mur.
 The high command communique said nothing about the fighting be- before Antwerp or Brussels, al- though it was known that severe battles were in progress along the Dyle river front. (This may have indicated that the Nazis were con- ccntrating on widening their ad- vance south of Namur to isolate the Allies in central and northern Belgium rather than continue direct attacks).
 May Decide War Here
 With German military sources re- porting that the war might be de- cided by a battle of 100000 men for Belgium in the next week, the high command communique indicated that the mechanIzed offensive had encountered flrmer resistance but that severe fighting was in pro- gross along 20-mie front from Antwerp to the Mouse river sector at Sedan.
 The Allied forces have taken po- sltion for battle in front of An- twerp and along the Dylc river and Namour Notifications, the com- munique said. The Dyle river, run ming through the battered city Of Louvain, is the main line of defense of Brussels, IS miles from the Bel- gian capital.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

To many mothers the beginning
of school means the beginning of a
long season of lunch packing. The
prospect of making sandwiches
five days week for forty week is
enough to discourage all but the
most versatile of women.
Sandwiches Filings offer an ex-
cellent opportunity to use leftover
meats. Roasts and meat loaf may
be sliced. Ground leftover meat
mixed with salad dressing and
chopped onion spreads easily and
tastes very good. Leftover liver is
particularly good this way and
many people will eat liverwurst or
ground liver sandwich spread who
dislike the flavor of hot liver.
Peanut butter is a favorite with
children. Peanut butter mixed with
grated carrot and ground raisins
or with ground raisins alone makes
a desirable change.
Cheese is particularly import
ant as sandwich filling if milk is
not carried every day. One ounce
of cheese is about equal in calcium
to one glass of milk. Besides
sliced cheese sandwiches, grated
cheese blends well with vege-
tables such as peas, carrots, chop
ped lettuce, and tomatoes or with
eggs or chopped bacon.
Scrambled eggs or chopped
hard cooked eggs may be used in
many sandwich combinations. Sal
ad dressing, chopped onion, chop
ped bacon, Leftover cooked vege-
tables, chopped raw vegetables,
bacon, ham, or leftover ground
roast meat are some of the posi-
bilities for varying egg sandwich
filling.
Many children tire Of white
bread everyday. Whole wheat
or cracked, wheat bread, Boston
brown bread, oatmeal bread, raj
sin bread, and nut bread provides
such a wide variety of bread
from which to choose that sand
wich bread need never be monot-
onous. Mothers who are anxious to
teach their children to like the
more nutritious whole grain breads
may start by using one slice of
the new bread along with one slice
Of the customary white. Then. too,
the most popular sandwich Filings
may be put inside the new kind Of
bread.
Home made boiled salad dress
ing is cheaper than most CONNER
cial salad dressings or mayonnaise.
Commercial salad dressings. are
rich in oil and so may be difficult
for children to digest. The follow

COUNTY AND STATE ITEMS
The young men of Bridgeville
gave a dance Friday evening which
was attended by a large number
of guests.
William Smithers, a farmer liv-
ing near Cowgills Corner Friday,
had Ambrose Green, a colored
youth arrested for the larceny of
SIS. Green has been in the employ
of Mr.. Smithers and disappeared
about the time the money was
missed. He had a hearing and was
lodged in Jail to await the coming
term of court.
Associate Judge Charles M. Cul-
len, of Georgetown, was rendered
a charivari by juveniles last week
in honor of his appointment to the
bench. The serenaders were hos
pitably treated by the Judge.
Robert ]. Reynolds, Democratic
candidate for Governor, was in
Wilmington during the past week
visiting the fair and making him
self solid with his fellow Demo
Gratis. Candidate Causey followed
a day afterwards on the same err
rand. Everybody shook hands with
them and did the agreeable by
them.
Governor Biggs has reappointed
Charles H. Schubert as State Fish
Commissioner.
Col. E. t. Cooper, who sprained
his ankle during the militia en-
campment at Brandywine Springs,
is still oblidged to use crutches to
aid his locomotion. The sprain is a
bad one and yields stubbornly to
treatment, having made cripple
of the doughty colonel for five
weeks or more, but he keeps up
with Candidate Reynolds on his
gubernatorial round all the same.

and there is a movement on foot
to erect a well-conducted bakery,

OLD DOC. YARRICK
SPEAKS HIS MIND

Women enjoy telling others
about their miseries.
Some peoples gratitude is like
a letter in the Post Office.
A stitch in time saves ugly
words.
Hunger is the best cook.
Like the nut gathering squirrel,
that man is wise who prepares for
what may happen.
A wavey mirror will put a
crookedness into everything that
it reflects.
The man who is ashamed to ask,
learns little.
A faithful Christian is as de-
pendable as lamp post.
A man may force himself on
others but he never gets into their
hearts.
The Scriptures say that Wisdom
hides from the man whose only in
terest in her was a filtration.
