All her life. Mrs. Agnes Holt OF

two sons. Jack. p. and Wallace

the commando raid on Dieppe.
Fighting back tears, she tells
her story:
Jack and Wallace Joined the
Essex Scottish regiment without
our knowledge, but their hearts
were 40 intent upon helping to
win this war we could only en-
courage them once they were
enlisted.
Jack was one Of the first re-
cruits, signing up in 1899, Wal
lace following him the next
year.
The kilograms telling US our
boys were missing came on
August 25 one within an hour
of the other. remember the
messenger girl who delivered
the first telegram was so kind;
she came into the house with
me while 1 read the message
and then stayed until q neigh
Dor came over.
DREAMS OF SON
zone night before the wires
came I had bad dreams about
my Older boy trying to talk to
me. 1 finally woke up and IL
was s o'clock I'm the morning.
Right then. though we didn't
know IL. the commandos were
on their raid.
"Of all the heartaches I've
lived through with such constant
and close associations with
armies and wars, the others
were never as bad as this news
about my boys. 1 must remem-
Der 1t was something they be-
lieved In. Jack wrote me just
recently that should anything
happen to him wasn't to worry.
Remember, it's what 1 wanted,
NOM were his words"
To comfort her mother and
father. is titian-haired Marjorie
Holt. 1S, whose arms encircle her
mothers shoulders as she whis-
pers:
Good news will come, mother
dear"
She, too. is soldiers daughter.

Addressing German and other

Vichy over the weekend, Laval
announced:
EMO man and nothing can
sway me from my determination
20 rid France of foreign Jews
and send them back where they
originated"
He said he had intervened with
German authorities in Paris and
obtained a promise TO stop sepa-
rating Jewish children from their
parents before deportation. which
had provoked protests from the
Vatican and the United States as
well as internal protests.
Under the new procedure, the
only advantage for the Jewish
children was that they would be
deported with their parents in
stead of separately.

ALBURY RECEIVERS
LOST P0CKETBO0K

George A. Albury, call officer
at the city Jail. who is known to
his many friends as "Bamby'', had
two hours of uneasiness this
morning when he sweated pro-
verbal blood over the loss of his
wallet, in which he had S78.
He had thoughts of having had
his pocket picked, because he re-
called that the last time he had
seen his wallet was when he
took it out of his back pocket
shortly after 8 o'clock in the
morning, to paw a bill at a gro
Gerry store. Possibly, he thought.
picketpocket had seen the
bullying money in the wallet and
had frisked it out of the pocket
after the bill had been paid.
Mr.. Albury had given up the
s78 as lost, when Raymond Ca
brera, another call officer, found
the wallet lying on the Jail floor.
On opening the wallet, the S78
was intact.
The latest theft reported to the
sheriffs office was made by Al
fredo Diaz, who said somebody
entered his grocery at 1101 ST.
monitor street and stole SIPS.

ESPIN0SA TO TAKE
OFFICE JANUARY S

Unlike Raul Carbonell, who be-
gan his duties as justice of the
peace as soon as he received his
commission, Jose Espinosa,
though he has his commission as
constable for the second district,
will have to wait till January 5
before he begins his term of Of
flee.
The difference is because Paul
Boysen, retiring justice of. the
peace, was appointed to serve till
his successor received his COM
mission, but Constable Espinosa's
commission reads to go into eff
feet the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in January.
Ray Atwell is now constable
in the second district, and he
was named by Governor Holland
to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Bienvenido Perez,
who is now working in the army
barracks.

Slow Driving Helps
General Conditions
Besides Rubber, Saving, AutOists
Get To Enjoy Scenery

Besides saving rubber, slow
driving has other compensations,
the Delaware Automobile Associa-
ton says, in reporting reactions OF
numerous drivers who have COM
mented .on changed highway condi-
tions.
For one thing, occupants of auto
mobiles moving slowly along the
roads are seeing the countryside
from an entirely new viewpoint.
"Fast-moving scenery now seems
to stand still so you can look at it, y"
is the way one driver summed up
his experience to a club touring
counselor.
Another favorable aspect of slow
driving, is the feeling that everyone
is "in tune" and that motorist
jogging along at a comfortable pace
will not be considered "hog" by
those who follow him.
From practical standpoint,
careful driving is the key to longer
life and increased mileage of auto
mobile tires. The Public Roads
estimates that an
20 per cent in mileage
may be gained If cars are driven
at 25 miles per hour.
