Secret Norwegian
Societies Fight
Nazi Domination

STOCKHOLM, sweden, Dec. IL.
lUP) - Travellers reported today
growing signs of organized, secret
opposition in Norway to German
domination.
Nazi secret police, it was said,
we're making many raids, especially
in the larger cities, in an effort to
stamp out opposition. Oppositionists
we're said to be meeting in private
homes and operating with the great
est secrecy.
Mucn OF their activity was being
directed against members of the
Nazi established government Of Maj.
Vidkun Quisling, the Morse Nazi,
and property owned by them. One
of Quislings lieutenants, an inter-
nationally famous skating expert,
was found dead under mysterious
circumstances recently and other
leaders of his movement were re-
ported to have disappeared.
Information reaching here from
Oslo told of conflict over the send
ing of Norwegian workers to Ger
many. Germany asked for between
$4,000 and 10000 workers and the
Norwegian Nazis accepted. The
Norwegian labor federation pro-
tested when it learned that the
workers would receive wages no
higher than those paid German
workers which is much less than
the Norwegian scale.
The federation also objected to
some of the 10000 employed Nor
wegians being drafted to work in
Germany, insisting that only those
who volunteered should be sent.
The conflict was referred to the
German commissar who finally
agreed that only volunteers would be
sent. This, it was thought, practi-
cally nullified the whole scheme be-
cause it was believed only a few
workers would volunteer.

Churchill Will
Make Statement Of
British War Aims
BY WALLACE CARROLL

LONDON, Dec. IL. (UP)-Prime
Minister Winston Churchill intends
to make a public statement next
week on Great Britain's war aims,
partly to offset Adolf Hitler's new
order drive and partly to encour-
age European peoples whom Ger
many has conquered, parliamentary
quarters reported today.
1t was understood that the state
ment as envisaged would be one of
general principles and would not
contain detailed suggestions for
postwar reconstruction or a re-
alignment of national frontiers.
The British government has been
exchanging ideas with dominion and
allied governments on war aims, it
was understood, with the result that
any statement which Churchill
makes will have the support of both
dominion and allied governments.
A cabinet committee was entrust-
ed months ago with the study of
British war aims. The late Neville
Chamberlain, Churchills predeces-
sor as prime minister, headed the
committee. Maj. Clement Attlec,
labor party leader and lord privy
seal in the inner war cabinet. had
presided over since Chamberlains
death.
A committee which includes DR..
Arnold Joseph Toynbee, research
professor of International history in
the University of London and direc-
tor of studies in the Royal Institute
of International Affairs, has been
advising the committee.
1t was understood that the pro-
posed Churchill statement would
seek to make clear to conquered
nations that Britain is struggling
not only in its own defense, but
for their emancipation.
Churchill also in any statement
would likely echo some of the ideas
of President Roosevelt in conformi-
ty with American aspirations, it
was forecast

Fascist Egyptian
Divisions Cut Off
BY British Drive

LONDON, Dec. II. CUP)-Brit-

Egyptian desert and are attacking
a series of defensive forts in pre-
paration for drive against the
main Fascist army in the coastal
zone between Sidi Barrani an d
Sollum, on the 1ibyan frontier, it
was reported today
British Empire motorized units
have driven wedge through the
Italian lines south of Sidi Barrani,
it was reported, and thus have
trapped thousands by cutting them
off from the main italian body
farther west.
Now, it was understood, the Brit

which total perhaps 10000 men-to
the coast where waiting British
warships can shell them into sur

Fighting still centers along 30
mile line which forms the right
wing of the trapped divisions, ac-
cording to reports here-the extreme
left Of the italian north-to-south
line.
The area under immediate at
tack is roughly triangular. The
points of the triangles are Sidi
Barrani and the camps of Nebeiwa.

The British drive is an enfilading

last night disclosed that naval units

With more than 1000 Italians

drive was going we'll. But ex-
perts warned against any expecta-

The difficult terrain, the frequent
mid-winter rain and the superiority
of the Italians in number and

Lola's shack with Lola's tribe of youngsters
every summer since they were married -
but somehow tonight it suddenly struck him
that Lola and the shack were too much to be
borne. He looked down into the quiet garden.
There "She" sat, at her little glass table, in
the soft light of sheltered candles. lovely and
alone.
He ate his supper in silence. Then Lucille
started to clear up, cheerfully humming
snatch of song from an old musical show.
Henry wondered DULY how long it had been
since they'd seen good show? Years. He got
up and went into the bedroom. He never had
liked the bedroom, he never had liked any of
their furniture, but Lucille had said: It'll

do for now, Henry; as we get on, we'll get
some really good pieces" But somehow they
never did.
Henry walked over to the bureau, eyeing
with acute distaste the scarf Lucille had
made - pink and yellow hollyhocks appli-
Gated on it to match the pink and yellow
hollyhocks on the curtains and the bedspread.
Slowly he raised his eyes and studied him
self in the bureau mirror. There was nothing
wrong with that face, nothing mean, shifty
or dishonest. 1t was just typical face - the
face of man who had begun career at
fifteen dollars week and worked up to sixty.
That was all.
He heard Lucille put away the dishpan
and go into the living room. He switched off
the bedroom light and went back to the
kitchen He pulled a chair up by the window
and sat in the dark Il but not in peace. From
the shadows, ugly truths and realities jeered
at him. His youth was gone, and what had
he done with his life? Here he was, forty-one
and where were the dreams he'd dreamed,
the great things he d planned to do? Could he
sit today with the lovely girl in her quiet
garden and share those dreams? No; they
had been too long dead. Could he offer her
the fruits of his triumphs and victories? There
had been no victories
He rested his arms on the window. The
maid was taking in the table. She" followed
the maid. In the doorway she turned and
looked back, out into the night, out beyond
her garden, up and above her garden wall,
and into the void she threw kiss.
Henry gripped the window ledge with new
excitement. How lovely she was!
x1E woke next morning with the memory
of her. He jumped out of bed and looked
into the garden. The colored maid was sweep
ing the flagstone walk. 'She" was not there.
He had his breakfast and went to the office.
In the middle of the morning Miss Brown
clicked over to his desk; he knew the tap-tap
of her three-inch heels " was that good taste
in business Office? - chorus girl shoes! Miss
Brown put down memorandum and Henry
hardly looked up. Vain little fool, he thought.
Is anything more disgusting than an Office
vamp? Big brown eyes like cows, and short
brown curly hair; woman's hair should be
long and glimmering and gold.
At lunch, Oracle muffed his order. He
bawled her out and she was downright inso-
lent. Her manner implied that he ought to be
delighted to eat what she set before him,
whether he liked it or not. He stalked out
That afternoon he did more work than he'd
done in months. But in spite of serious con-
centration his eyes kept slipping to the clock.
He wasn't anxious for five to come, he was
almost afraid it would come. Would "She"
be in her garden? Perhaps she'd be having
tea, Or The five o'clock bell rang.
Henry sorted his papers. Some he slowed
in the basket marked Complete" Those
marked Incomplete" he tucked under his
arm.
Jordan, head of the department, looked at
him quizzically. ''I1l take these home and
finish them up tonight" Henry said Want
to get this whole job cleaned up."
Jordan blinked. why, that's fine. Thomas.

National Dairy Month
Boosts Value Of MIX

June 10 TO July 10 is designated
as Dairy Month throughput Della
ware and the Nation. The purpose
of Dairy Month Is to emphasize
again to our people the value OF milk
for good nutrition and the great i'm
pOrtanee OF the. dairy industry to
the economic welfare OF our coun-
try.
Research studies in foods, ac-
eOrding to Miss Pearl Macdonald,
nutritionist for the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service, have
established the truth that milk con-
tains practically all Of the known
dietary factors which are needed
for good growth IN children and for
good health in children and adults.
Among these important factors are
the minerals and vitamins. For ex-
ample, the child who has a quart
of milk every day is practically as
sured of the calcium needed for
building strong bones and teeth and
for keeping them strong. Adults
also need milk. at least a pint a
day. Without milk, the bOdy's need
for calcium cannot be met by the
ordinary diet. Milk also provides a
large share of the daily require
ment Of phosphorus, protein and
yitamins.
The nutritive return per unit Of
cost for milk is greater than that
OF any other natural food stuff. 1t
