I'm positive the elusive Swede

certain she never was aware of

tall, retiring girl from Stockholm
named Ingrid Bergman.
She came over several years ago,
and, innocently or deliberately, stole
"Intermezzo" from capable Leslie
Howard, who has stolen a few pic
lures himself. Millions of American
movie fans became aware of this
slim. young, ash-blond actress in
"Intermezzo," and in Rage in
Heaven" with Robert Montgomery,
but it took a nightgown scene in
DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" to make
more millions more aware of Miss B.
They became aware, almost in a
guilty sort of way, that this charm
ing, talented young woman had a
surprising amount of. er, sex appeal.
I reminded Ingrid about the scene,
and mentioned that, for a non-sexy
situation, it was packed with, shall
we say, interest. Miss Bergman,
must report with complete accuracy,
blushed noticeably at the suggestion.

not quite ready for distillation.
No one was about the place
and it is not learned whether
there was any evidence as to the
identity of the owners of the
plant or not.
The officers say that a number
of empty sugar bags were at the
place, indicating clearly that the
operators had been able to Sc
cure sugar for operating, in spite
of wartime sugar rationing.
They express their intention to
make some investigation as to the
source of supply of this commo-
dity for unlawful purpose.

JITTERS CAUSED BY
PARKED TRUCK

A report reached Clinchco

day that Union men had the road
down Cranes Nest blocked with
no traffic allowed. Company

the scene but found no sign Of
a blockade.
1t later developed that Roy
Bentley, farmer of that section,
had started out to the settlements
in his truck but had to stop be-
cause of mechanical troubles.
The brakes on Bentley's truck
froze tight after running through
a mud hole and he was forced to
leave it beside the road, with
enough room for other vehicles
to pass. This caused the report to
be carried to Clinchco by some
one who jumped too hastily to
conclusions. Bentley had been
able to get the truck back home
by the time the officer arrived,
and the mystery was not explain
ed until he heard the rumor.

One Year of The
War
THE TURNING POINT I'll A S

One year ago, Sunday, Dec. Z,
1941, the japanese, with whom
we were at peace, slipped in and
launched an attack on Pearl Har
Dor from the skies, killing some
5000 persons. Since then the
United States has been at war
at war with Japan, Germany,
Italy and their satellites. The
Giant Of the Western Hemisphere
has exerted himself to the ut
most for II months, fighting by
sea, land and air; producing food
and equipment with his whole
energy; digging, searching and
transporting materials for war
from every possible source.
What are the results? What
have we done? How far have we
gone and where do we stand?
This is an effort to present a
brief review of our first year in
the War-our losses, our gains,
the extent and direction of our
efforts, and our present situation.

war the United States suffered
devastating n humiliating
blows while trying to get ready
to fight. At the same time our
allies were also taking it on the
chin because of little equipment.
Our fleet lay crippled at Pearl
Harbor; our small air force in
the far Pacific was soon wiped
out. Hence followed that agoniz-
ing period of helplessly watching
Japan, at the height of her power
and audacity, extend her grasp

over Wake and other Pacific is
