bomb. A church hall and a school
and many apartment houses and
slum dwellings were hit. Damage
and casualties were indicated to be
heavy. The raids cost the Germans
As planes, according to official
count, against 10 British planes, 10
of whose pilots landed safe.
Police and air raid wardens were
on the alert throughout the metro
politan area for time bombs, at
least two of which had already ex-
ploded.
Many casualties were caused
among people caught between air
raid alarms, especially those who
after a two hour and 20 minute
alarm started home at 11:15 last
night and were in the open when
the blast of German bombs brought
sirens into action again only 81

age in Imperial Valley greeted with
interest the announcement Satur-

Yuma growers in Arizona are in
creasing lettuce acreage sharply
this year, with planting for the fall
crop in those areas already under

within two weeks, looking forward
to harvest between Thanksgiving

Salt River Valley lettuce acreage
was expected to total about 10000
acres, a substantial increase over
last year. In Yuma Valley the let
