Wilson P.-T.A. had one of the
most successful evening meetings
in the history of the organization
when on Wednesday night fathers
and mothers. with the school facul-
~, met at the school for a pot luck

Mrs. F. H. Mitchell, president
conducted a brief business meeting
after the dinner hour, turning the
meeting over to the teachers who
presented a program, an hilarious
version of the old nursery story of
the three little pigs and the big
bad wolf.
Clever masks, made by the
teachers, and delightful stage
setting contributed to the atmos-
phere, the cast showing real talent
as the play progressed. Miss Bertha
Ronnie played the mother pig, and
the three little pigs were enacted
by Miss Cleone Avery, Miss Beryl
Langley, and Mrs. Laura McFar-
land with Laurence Koerner as
the big bad wolf

Enemy Propaganda Blamed For False
 Stories Overseas
Ouglng Cigarette Costs Not Substantiated By Facts; Warn Called old Trick of Axis to Spread Dlsunly and
 DisafiectiOn Among Americans on Foreign Soil

rect Co our overseas forces, Neither would Any commanding officer, where he wNs In command of troops, allow any nation to make such a charge.
 There was a statement published In this coutnry which said;
 Morale of Troops. A pack of either Of three nationally known cigarettes costs an American doughboy a shilling In the Army Post Exchange ln Ireland. That's about 90 Ia cents and he thinks it's too much. Here's how Exchange officials explain it. The eSrvice borrowed about Si0,000,. O0O In REC funds to get going, This Is being paid back in regular in. stallments and the net profit of 7.5 per cent maximum and five per cent minimum Is none too much to keep the Service solvent"
 An investigation was made at once by an American army colonel in rre- land. His report stated;
 "Regardlng the quoted newspaper item which you state appeared in a recent paper and circulated in New York and Washington, I hasten to advise you that there is no founda. ton of truth, as far as I can see, in the entire article. In fact 1t is so far from the truth that it ap- pears to have all the earmares of cheap and malicious propaganda. Prior to 24 August, cigarettes in- cluding the three nationally known brands, were sold through the Ex- change at five pence per package. Since a4 August these brands of cig- aretets are being hold to the men at four pence. At the present rate of exchange. five perSe would be equal to approximately eight cents and four pence would figure under sevent cents per pack in United States money. Regarding the bal- ance of the item which refers to Ex- change officials, no information of that type was given out by anyone as there was no reason for making any such explanation"
 The increase of half-cent tax on all cigaretetS. cigars and tobacco has been passed on to the consumer in most cases. The Post Exchange of the Harbor Defenses of Boston, how ever. has refused to raise prices, still selling cigarettes at the old rate ot "a cents . package.
 Captain Frederick J. Buwen, Ex- change officer, announced the Har- Dor Defenses of Boston Post Ex- changes would absorb the added tax. He said this was in line with keep ing prices as low as possible for the servicemen.

 A communique for Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters revealed that the Japanese were commanded by Lieut.. Gen. Tomatore Horii, and that they were being pressed from the South and the West by Allied ground forces.

 American troops, flown to New Guinea from the South with Aus tralian forces which captured the village of Wairopi and crossed the Kumusi river Saturday.
 The main Australian force was battling the Japanese along the river, while the Americans were striking the enemy in the same sec tor from the South. The main jungle track along which the Auss!es were advancing from the East is cut by the river, which reportedly had reached a flood width of from 200 to 400 feet.
 Allied aircraft continued to sup port land operations. bombing and machine -gunning Japanese anti aircraft batteries, supply barges. and rear communications including motor transports and river barges three of which were set on fire. A strong Flying Fortress forma- ton struck at the Japanese base of Rahaul in New Britain Island and scored direct hits on two ships, the communique said.
 Medium bombers raided the big Japanese air field of Mihili on Bougainville Island in the northern Solomons and destroyed eight planes on the ground. The com munique said many more plane: were damaged, and that fires were set in supply dumps which were wis., ible for miles.
