Dairy Products
Are Important

Milk for shipment under Lend
lease in the form of evaporated
milk, dried milk, and cheese is
one of the most important items
in our Food for Freedom pro-
gram.
Mort than SIT million pounds
of evaporated milk, 81 1-2 million
pounds of dry skim milk, and
1874 million pounds of cheese were
shipped to other United Nations
by the U. S. between April 20,
1941 and April /, 1912.
Ample supplies of milk and milk
products are of course also need
ed for feeding our own Army, Navy
and civilian workers. AS our ex-
piditionary forces become broader
our need for evaporated and dried
milk rather than milk in fluid form
will become greater.
Casein derived from skim milk
is of increasing Importance be-
cause of the war effort. Casein
CLUES for use in the plywood in
dustries are needed to substitute
for animal glue now largely re-
quired for the aircraft and naval
building programs. Casein paint Is
increasing in Importance as a sub
stitute for paints made with vege-
table oils.
Protein plastics made with cas-
Elm and used in the manufacture
of buttons and other small articles
are becoming more important as
the war advances. Fiber made
from casein is being manufactured
and made into fabrics.

The TIGER

Boys and girls like everybody
else, will have to sort themsel-
yes out and find the places where
they can be most useful on the
home front, in this war
All the boys and girls of our
school will find work at home, at
school, in our Scout troops, All
Club, through our church or some
community organization.
Some of the things that we can
do:
We should keep ourseles strong
by eating the right kind of food,
getting enough sleep and exerci-
sing in the open air. We should
save money regularly and buy war
stamps. We should be careful not
to waste anything; take care of
our clothes, toys, books, bicycles,
all the things we use at home or
in school, so that they will last
as long as possible.

1uniS
Attack
Columns Close in
On East, West on
Germans, Italians
BY UNITED PRESS

The Allied offensive in
North Africa gathered mo-
mentum Tuesday in both the
west and east, sDurred by
mounting reports that italy is
showing growing signs of strain as
the active battlefront draws near.
Allied columns in Tunisia were
moving into what appeared the fl
nal stage of the battle for TuniS
and rapidly were closing in on the
Bizerte naval base.
Other Allied forces were heading
across South-central Tunisia to-
ward the Gulf of Gabes and Tri-
polilania where the Italians were
reported hastily erecting defense
works.
To the east British scouting
forces clashed with the Germans
in the opening phase of what NAV
prove to be decisive battle at Ell
Agheila en- the Gulf of Sirte. The
main armies had not gone into ac-
ton but it was believed the British
attack would not be lcng delayed.
DUCE REPORTED ILL
A steady stream of reports indi-
Gated the situation in Italy was 60
ing from bad to worse although
British commentators cautioned
AGAINST any belief in an early Ital-
ifH crack-up. They ~ ted that
Germany would exert every effort
to hold italy together in an effort
TO prevent the exposure of this vi
tai southern flank.
The latest rumor of Italian i'll
fortune involved Premier Benito
Mussoliri. Continental advices re-
ported that Mussolini is seriously Ill
and has been confined to bed for
two weeks.
Official confirmation of MusSo-
lni's illness was lacking and there
were nc details of its nature. He
hos been reported to hove been
suffering from a heart ailment in
recent years
TUNIS BESIEGED
The drive of British. American,
and French troops in Tunisia ap-
peared to be nearing its first climax
the attack of the capital, T'unls.
The Allied forces were pressing
in on the old French fortifications
which surround the western ap-
breaches to Tunis in a methodical
steady push through areas heavily
soWn with German mines.
The forces advanced eight miles
from Diedeida in "a hours and at
+ some points may have reached the
outlying suburbs of TuniS itself.
The coastal road between Tunis
and Bizerte was cut, isolating the
German force defending the north
coast naval base.
ROMMEL SLOWS DOWN
To the east the opening phase OF
the battle for Tripolitania was un-
folding. Patrols of the British
EIGHTH Army were fighting German
outpostS in the FL Acheila neigh
borhood on the Gulf cf Sirte where
it was believed Marshal Erwin
Rommel proposed to make stand.

Western air lines annOunc-
ed Tuesday that application
for a feeder cargo and pas
senger line to service Ri Cen
tro in the postwar period
has been made to the Civil Aero
nautics Board and gave encourag-
ing information on the possibility OF
immediate passenger service.
Leo DNerlkotte, executive vice
president of WAL, said in a tele-
phone conversation that he expects
action on two passenger applications
within the next 80 to 60 days. One
application is for route from San
Diego to Phoenix with stops at E
Centre and Yuma. The other is for
a line from Los Angeles to Ell Cen
tro touching San Bernardino and
Palm Springs.
ADDITIONAL SERVICE
DWerlkotte emphasized that the
service sought is entirel" apart from
that now being given by American
air lines. The AL recently began
daily flights from San Diego to
Phoenix but no stops are made in
Imperial Valley.
Should the aeronauticS board de-
eide favoraply on the proposed pas
senger routes to the valley, work
will begin Immediately. 1t may be
come time before service is estab

toned. The Army would first have
TO release airportS and airline
equipment for use.
IN announcing the feeder routes
DWerlkotte said that equipment
which is still in the engineering
stage will be used on the 1856 mile
network covering 81 cities in eight
states. The ships will be designed
primarily to carry large cargoeS but
space will be included for paSSen
gers.
SUPPLEMENTAL ROUTE
Indio and Yuma were also listed
as among the 81 anticipated load
ing points.
The feeder planes would supple

executive declared.
This new application does not
cancel or in any way 90 ava" with
the passenger applications already
made" Dwerlkotte said.
