itary authority said today that Ger
man infltration into Rumania and
Bulgaria and air aid to Italy had
become so extensive that the very
real danger" of invasion OF Britain
NAV be averted.
This authority asserted that Ger

in civilian dress were preparing air

eight to ten German divisions in
Rumania'

This concentration, plus diversion
to Italian soil of strong units OF the
air force, which are close to the
route through the Mediterranean for
large conveys of our sea forces" may
we'll avert the long contemplated in
vasion of Britain. he said.
But air fields established in
France make it certain that the
Germans could shift fighters back
to the coast for attack on this coun-
try whenever the high command felt
the danger in the Mediterranean
had abated." he added.
Two New Steps Taken.
Despite this belief that danger
may have lessened, Great Britain
stepped up her defenses with two ac-

a grand-slam German invasion bio

April or May-with $4,000 Nazi war
planes to lead the assault.
King George VI issued a royal
proclamation ordering men aged 49,
| 10 and 37-4O to register for military
service.
At the same time the government
moved toward drafting women into
vital war industries to hasten the
production of arms and munitions.
The registration call was the Sec
ond in less than two weeks, men OF

Washington sources credited the
German Luftwaffe with a 4-to-1
advantage over the r. A. F. for the
heralded invasion attempt this
spring, declaring that the Germans
could put $4,000 bombers and fight
ers in the air, with another lS,OOt

| So far, it was said. the greatest
number of Nazi planes used at one
time in the aerial siege of Britain
was less than 1000.

SECOND GROWTH APPLES
AN UNUSUAL PRODUCT

Mr.. E. J. Tilghman, living on the
Powell place, just across the POGO
moke river bridge, brought to the
Democrat" office, this week, a bag
of Second growth" apples, grown on
a tree on his home land.
The exact name of the apple, Mr..
Tilghman was uncertain about, but
he stated that they were ripened af-
ter the regular crop in August, and
came to maturity last week. The size
and appearance are similar to the
first growth, and the bearing was
quite as plentiful. There was nat
ural color to the apple; they meas
ured about inches around the larg-
est circumference, looked and tasted
like the original, and were altogeth-
err an anomaly in horticulture.

Jeff DRYDEN EXHIBITS
3 FINE EARS OF CORN

A peculiar natural formation of an
ear of corn is that it never has an
odd number of grain rows, always
even.
Mr.. Jeff Dryden, of Westover, sent
IN to the Democrat" office this week,
three very fine specimens of yellow
corn. Two of the ears measured IL
inches in length, the other 10. There
were Is rows of grain on one; 1S, on
another; and % on the third. The cobs
were all well filled out and grains
showed perfect growth. Somerset is
surely harvesting a rich crop of corn.

DIRECTOR KINGS
PROBLEM AS TO
THE AIR PLANE
How To Get Ample Supply Of
Planes And Shots In Flight.
Marva Picture

How to get an ample supply of
planes and shots of them in flight
without interfering with the national
defense program was the problem of
Director Henry King during the film
ing of "a Yank in the r. A. F." the
current attraction at the Marva
Theatre.
One hundred and forty-two Lock-
heed-Hudson, $50 Spitfires, 80 Stu
kas and 106 Messerschmitts were
needed by the Goth Century-Fox stu
dio for this production. But factories
were too busy turning out planes which
were really needed for defense and
for Britain to be bothered with the
requirements of motion picture.
eve couldn't halt the national de-
Tense program by asking to borrow
that many Lockheed-Hudsons," ex-
planned King. $50 for ground use we
built replicas which are complete to
gun mounts, instrument panels and
camouflaging."
Air shots presented a different
problem, however. To solve this prob
lem, he used the Lockheed- Hudsons
and Harvard trainers as they took off
from Southern California airports for
Canada.
Tyrone Power, who is starred in the
picture which was produced by Daryl
F. Zanuck, was kept on 24-hour call.
Government inspectors would notify
the studio few hours before the take
offs so that he and King could get
there in time for the flight.
"By doing that we didn't hold up
defense plans by as much as single
minute" said King. 1.-THE aviation
companies, at the request of the
British Air Ministry, the British Air
Commission and the r. A. F. coop
Grated with us. They kept US posted
about take-offs and test flights so
we were on hand on time"
