of the grOssest pieces of deceit of

Shoppers this year have stolen
the march on Santa Claus, and are
buying for Christmas as they have
seldom bought before at this time
of the year.
Merchants reported that the vol
me of lay-aWay sales this year
already is double that Of last year
for both November and December.
Two factors enter into this near
buying boom:
!. Fear that the defense pro-
gram will make it increasingly dill
liCult to obtain many items.
,. More money in circulation.
Ol3e merchant who sells merchan-
disc that requires various metals
in its manufacture said there Is
an unusually heavy demand for
such items as coasters and other
electrical appliances, and already
it is impossible to supply this de-
nand.
He attributed the demand in part
to the campaign of Imperial Irriga-
ton district to make valley folk
power conscious, plus recent rate
reduction made possible through in
creased consumption of district
power

buying continues at the present ra-

around Moscow
On the eastern front. the Ger
mans said that they had captured
the important town of Kiln. 81
miles northwest of Moscow. ana
were firmly" holding the railroad
town of Tikhvin southeast of Lenin-
grad.
There appeared to be little doubt
on the basis of both Russian and
German reports that the Axis Of
fensive against Moscow was making
slow, steady progress toward enclr-
clement of the capital, but in the
battle of Libya lines of conflict still
were confused and rapidly changing.
New Zealand armOred forces and
infantry drove along the coastal
road from Gambut and then appar-
emil" cut across the desert and re-
captured Sid Rezegh-Which had
been taken by the British and then
lost-after which a tank column
pushed farther west to join up with
the Tobruk garrison at Ed Duda.
GARRISON FIGHTS OUT
The Tobruk garrison instead of
being relieved" in the normal sense
of the word had been supplied with
tanks and fresh troops 50 that it
was able to fight its way out over
ii miles of hard contested desert.
Thus the junction between the
Tobruk force and the New Zealand
ers-Who left a trail across the
sand dunes Uttered with Wreckage
If German and British vehicles
gave the British new base of sup
plies at Tobruk, close to the battle
still raging on a fluid front around
Sid ReZegh.
The British navy can move sup
plies and reinforcements through
Tobruk much more easily than they
can be moved across the desert.
The British apparently have closed
the gap between TCbruk and Sid
ReZegh through which the Axis had
been moving reinforCementS and if
they can hold that line they may
have gained a vital strategic ad-
vantage in the conflict.
MUST HOLD NOW
Both sides still we're obviously
suffering heavy casualties and the
Germans were bostoring their air
protection for transport columns and
rear lines, but the important thing
for the British was to hold domina-
ton of the main battlefield
Both sides had thrown tank, air
and infantry reinfOrCements into
the conflict raging over a wide front
in the Sid Rezegh sector and heavy
fighting was reported IL the last "A
hours. with the trend of battle still
confused and uncertain.
The British, for instance. said that
New Zealand mechanical infantry
and tanks had smashed westward
from Bardia by wa" OF Gambut to
reinforce the first line tank columns
and regain possession OF Sid ReZegh
but the Italians said they still were
firmly holding Bardia
