one of their greatest raids on oc-

FIERCE DOC FIGHTS
The air ministry said British day
light raids over France yesterday
resulted in the fiercest dog fights
since The battle OF Britain.
A small force of bombing planes,
protected by swarrns of fighters,
concentrated on the great freight
marshalling yards of HaZebrouck, 35
miles inland from Calais.
Germany apparently sent up ev
cry fighter plane within range to
stop what was soon seen to be an
attack in force.
AS the bombers dropped their
bombs squarely on the targets, the
fighter planes clashed in scores of
individual fights. The British fight
ers, seeking to protect their bomb
ers, were at a disadvantage and it
was admitted that 13 British fight
ers were lost. Onl'' one bomber was
downed despite the ferocity of the
German attack. The Germans lost
four planes destroyed and many
damaged. A Polish pilot shot down a
German Focke-Wulff- 100. a Czech
pilot aided in shooting down a
Messerschmitt- -109, and two German
planes collded. Two of the 13 down.

Becoming Scarce

A large percentage of the new work
ers who will be- needed in local war
production plants during the next l.
months must come from war training
classes, says Charles Terrill. manager
of the WyandOtte office of the United

AS war plants continue to expand.
more and mOrke workers will be- need
ed so that We may reach our prOduc-
ton goals" he says. Young. vigorous.
mechanically capable workers are be-
coming scarcer each day. With the
supply OF trainees less abundant, we
must look to new sources.
Workers unemployed either be-
cause of seasonal factors, plant CONVEX
sion or material shortages are being
utilized as a source Of trainee supply.
Women and negroes are two import
ant groups and during the coming
months and barriers against these
groups must be broken down IL we are
10 produce the necessary equipment.
Older workers, handicapped and white
collar workers must be drawn upon in
increasing numbers.
las the war can be won only il we
have the planes, tanks, and munitions,
the training courses in skills import
ant to the production Of these wea-
pons are receiving dominant attention. .

could be placed in training classes to
learn arc welding during the current
month. There are also 200 openings for
