Griffin Hospital Guild Prepored;

Chapeau, Echatter, and chess were long ago forgotten by the vOmen of the Griffin Hospital
 guild so that today they can look
 back and say That's done" and
 bOk ahead and say We're
 pady."
 At the present time they are
 30 well prepared for any emerg- ency that may arise in Kodiak that there seems little possibil- fly that there will have to be meetings oftener than once a month. Their one big project for
 he year, which they are working on now, Is a cook book of recipes
 lOnated by townspeople and
 women from the air base, said Mrs. A. Holmes Johnson, presi dent of the ladies guild.
 Under the instruction of Mrs AWhalley, territorial field nurse, a goup of the guild women have D,ompleted a nursing course and Vare qualified now to do every lhing but surgical and skilled lnursing. Included in this group lsre Mrs. Frank Lahtonen, Mrs. Cyril Crawford, Mrs. R. L, Cliff l ton, Mrs. Forest Ayres, Mrs. Tom Oxford, Mrs. L. M. Boeck- man. and Mrs. Norman SutIiff of Kodiak and Mrs. Tom Cole,
 who recently moved to the base.
 T1e husbands of these women WiLl act as stretcher bearers A nong the registered nur es in toWn who are ready for emer- sency are Mrs. Johnson, Mrs Flood and Maxine Roberts.

To Recommend Text Book

RALEIGH, Feb. 10. - Up - The
state board of education, by a unani-

a much-discussed history text book
by two University of North Caro-
lima professors on a recommended
list of supplementary reading mat
ter for elementary schools.
The board approved 1884 Of the 1856
books which were submitted by pub
fishers for the supplementary list.
The only book which a not approx
ed was the work by DR.. A. r. New
some and DR.. Hugh Letter, entitled
The Growth of North Carolina"
The Newsome-Lefler text original
ly was recommended by the elemen'
tary textbook commission as the best
available text to be used in class

board of education, however, rejected
it several months ago in favor OF a
text by julie B. Warren, secretary of

Clinton Man Injured
In Truck-Car Crash

One person was painfully injured

trolmen reported.
Officers said the collision in
volved a dump truck operated by
Thurman W. Singleton, II, of
Hampstead, and an automobile
driven by Nick Dudley, of Clinton,

bruises.
The car, driven by Dudley, was
apparently on the left center of

rear wheel of the truck and over
turned in the ditch, officers said.
Singleton was proceeding north

the opposite direction when the
mishap occurred. Two occupants

most violent campaign against
British shipping ever attempted
The action-Which some Naz1s
called probably the most sue
cessful attack on a convoy in naval
hlstory'-was pictured here as the
opening phase of an unprecedented
challenge to the convoy system
and to Britain's control of The
seas.
Among the 10 vessels knocked
out, said the high command, were
several large transatlantic
steamers which We're loaded to
capacity with war material for
England"
(The German radio, in a broad
cast heard in the United States,
declared that 29,50O tons of ships
had been sunk outright and 20, 200
tons set afire or badly damaged.)
The scene of the action was not
given, but the high command de-
scribed it as a continuation OF a
running offensive begun last Sun
day West Of Portugal, when SUBJ
marines supported by bombing
planes were declared to have
knocked out "a, 500 tons of ships.
The official German news agency
DNB summarized operations for
the week of Feb. 4 to II by saying
that of 1l7,500 tons of British ship
ping reported sunk during that
period, 1880 tons were sent to the
bottom by the German navy. S

powers.
That events in both Europe and
Asia might thus be approaching
a new stage was considered pos
sible in view of German activities
in the Balkans and conferences OF
Generalissimo Franco of Spain
with Premier Mussolini of Italy
and Marshal Petain of France.
Some sources said the Australian
government, though seriously dis.
turhed over the Far Eastern stu
alton, might have described it with
such gravity in order to arouse
the Australian public to the danger.
Japan gradually has been ex-
