 Tho people of Palmer and vicinity have sub bscribed almost three times their quota in Victory bonds. Tho sales for tho month of June wore $e662.5o. This patri- otic response represents great sacrifice upon tho part of our people sacrifice which, nevertheless, was made willingly.
 Tho quota for July Is $lo 1000. for Pa1- mer. "The new quota repro esents Aaska's share of the ono billion dollar minimum monthly quota anticipated by tho Treasury Department for tho entire nations" says Frederick V. Aver, Deputy Nar Savings Staff Admini st rator for Aaska. Ut is based upon tho Government . estimate of tho capacity and willingness of American mon and women to sacrifice and save, for their country now and for themselves in the years following the war.
 "In setting those new quotas, tho Treas. that 1t expects tho increase in tho 14m4te- tion on individual and corporate holdings on Series and securities will play large part in helping localities to meet their a1locati ions. As has boon announced already, the limit of those two series has boon increased from $5o, 1000 to $loo, 1000 annually, and persons already holding their annual limit of either Series b1nds are not barred from purchas asing to tho limit of either Series F or G, or $loo, 1000 of tho two combined.
 "Ve all are intensely aware of tho vital part Alaska is playing in tho strategy of the United Nations var effort ," Nr. Aver said. "That part is tho sole responsibi1- ity of the armed forces, but the responst- bilities of our civilian forces arc equally great in that the effort ve make thru the purchase of bonds will, to Q very real sx- tent, bolster tho morale, as wel1 as the equipment, of our service mon.
 "The Treasury Department . earnest desire is to keep the sale of Var Bonds on strict 1y voluntary basic, and the fact that 1t ha. been kept 60 is testimony to Secretary Nor genthau's faith in the American people to back their Government thru this medium to u absolute limit.

TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 28.-The Jap

the United States Aircraft Carrier
Wasp was in turn sent to the bot
tom by an American destroyer, one
of the carriers survivors declared
here.
Jack H. Westbrook, 1S, quarter
master (third class) aboard the
Wasp, related:
II was at my battle station in the
secondary control tower. I heard
the first two torpedo explosions, but
before the third one hit I saw the
wake heading for the ship. I bent
my knees so the shock wouldn' t
hurt my legs.
"A moment after the explosion, I
saw the sub surface as a destroyer
came up.
'The destroyer dropped q depth
charge and I saw the sub break in
two, then the bow went up and
sank. A fellow standing by me
said: That's one tin fish that won't

Bitter Air Battle.
Allied aircraft, including Amer
ican bombers and fighters, were
constantly securing the battle area
and the desert reaches behind it
and the latest dispatches from the
front told of a bitter air battle be-
tween Allied planes and a group of
Axis dive bombers escorted by
fighters.
Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton dis
closed that United States Air Forces
were using American bombs for the
first time to smash at Axis concen-
trations behind the lines.
"The thing that has impressed me
most about our men is their CUTS
and tireless energy" Gen. Brereton
said last night at a press conference.
The same qualities are possessed by
the RAF, but the German pilots
ability in this theater is not so good
as year ago, possibly due to losses
and the fact that the new men

Shoots Down Two Italian Planes.
One OF the American flyers, Capt.
Thomas w. Clark of Suffield, Conn,
shot down two italian fighters Mon
day to become the first United States
tighter pilot with two confirmed VIC
tories over Axis fighters in the battle
OF North Africa. Capt. Clark scored
both victories in a single engagement
and two of his flying mates, First
1t. Roy E. Whitaker of Knoxville.
Tenn. and Second 1t. Robert l.,
Metcalf of Hooker, Okla, each shot
down an Italian fighter.
There were reports Of minor tank
engagements, but the main forces
OF both sides obviously were being
held back until the ground was
cleared to permit the maneuvering
space which they require.
Axis ground activity was re-
ported increasing and Allied fighter
bombers took hand in helping to
break up these sorties. The fighter
bombers claimed hits on five tanks

one brush with the enemy.

7,ecti0n t0ith Women at War
Week, November % to 49,
Women at War Week begins next
Sunday. By yesterdays ordinary
peacetime calendar, it would. there
fore. end Saturday, November 70.
But in today's extraordinary war
timetable 1t must not end until the
war ends-in victory for us. Bonds
will have to be bought as long as
battles have to be fought. That
may be for q cruelty long time.
Therefore, this special week is
not intended to be merely q seven
day wonder that climaxes in q spec
tacular pinnacle Of War bond buy
ing and then plunges abruptly down
to the listless limbo of "just another
celebration"
Actually, no tangible goal In dol
lars and cents Is set for this week.
Such goals are, Of course. sharply
necessary and their attainment is
vital. But for this particular week
the goals are to be more intangible;
unmeasured and immeasurable.
To sell more War bonds and
stamps in this week than in any
week since Pearl Harbor-yes. But
even more, to quicken the heart
beat as we'll as the adding machine.
There is, however, some real arith-
metic involved. For 1853 concen-
trated and consecrated hours, Amer
ica's $4,000, 600 women will be offered
the opportunity-the urgent oppor-
tunity-to put 100 per cent of their
patriotic endeavor into the War
savings program; to put in so much
directed energy that its momentum
will not only continue, but increase.
No One Formula.
There Is no one feminine for
mula for this week. There is no
one formula for the American wom-
an. One of the essentials for which
the American man is fighting is to
keep the American woman free and
independent.
It may not be deeply important
what each individual woman does to
promote the sale of War bonds and
stamps during this week. But it is
desperately important that she do
something; that she do everything
she can.
This is not only total war; it is
q personal war. Its perils are per-
sonal, and varied. Likewise, its
weapons are personal. and different.
Bombs and bullets and bayonets at
the fighting fronts. Precision instru-
ments and punch drills and turrent
lathes on the assembly lines. Grain
in the fields and coal in the mines.
Rubber and tin in the community's
salvage bin: grease in the jar on the
kitchen shelf
And-with all of these weapons
and always-money In War bonds
and stamps!
During Women at War Week no
woman can honestly ask, What can
I do to help?" For there will be
plenty for her to do.

The nature Of the difficulty used
to be- ascribed to a breakdown in
the arches of the bones of the foot,
but with the Introduction of the
term foot strain" more emphasis
is nut on the muscles Of the fore
leo. These large muscles send ten
dons down to the toes and around
the arch of the foot and it is their
tone and action which keeps the
arsHas Of the bones of the feet in
place.
Tired Muscles
Nor often than anything else

hou common this foot strain is,
in "A group of probationer nurses
there was an average CT n nurse
a week obliged to be off duty on
account Of foot strain. Proba-
toner nurses, when they begin
their career, rather suddenly
change from habits where they can
rest a good part of the time. to
long hours with much standing.
Following this line of thought
out. orthopedic surgeons believe
that exercises to develop the
muscles Of the foreleg are far more
valuable in correcting foot strain
than special shoes, arch supports
or any OF the old-fashioncd cum
bersume appliances. These Xcr
ciSes must be carried out persis-
teutly The arch supports may
give temporary relief while the
exercises are being done to
strengthen the muscles.
