:. Carrier Borne Planes


 Carrier borne naval air fighters known as sea hurricanes, aided by other planes and the conveys anti aircraft defenses, were credited with destroying 13 planes in one days engagement and A on the follow ing day. At least three others were known to have been destroyed and the admiralty said many others were destroyed or damaged. It was known that the main part of the convoy, on which the at tack was started September F., three days after it had been sighted by enemy planes and submarines, had reached Russia with supplies for the Red Army.
 The Axis radios had been making fantastic claims for a week, re- garding the big convoy, but the Ad- milarty's communique denied them flatly.
 The Admiralty, summarizing the operation, said the enemy had con- centrated heavy ships and U-boats in Norwegian Fjords and had con- centrated many aircraft in north ern Norway.
 '4The enemy thus was in position to attack from its bases convenient ly situated on the flank of the con- voy route throughout the many days of its passage" the Admiralty said.
 The convoy, having been sighted by enemy planes September g., again was shadowed by planes on September 12.
 "It became clear that several U- boats were in the vicinity and a number of attacks were carried out against them" the communique said.
 Attack With U-Boats
 "On September 13, the enemy at- tackled with U-boats and made a succession of attacks with 8 large number of aircraft. It also em- ployed aircraft to lay mines ahead of the convoy"
 The first attack on September iS was a high-level raid by about six hombers. Shortly after, the convoy was attacked by 40 to 50 torpedo bombers flying abreast at the con- voy in close formation.
 Fighter planes, maneuvering in intense anti-aircraft fire from all ships, destroyed at least five enemy planes. the communique said. These were seen to crash in the sea and it was believed others were prob- ably destroyed or damaged.
 "The third attack of the day" the communique said. twas made by nine torpedo bombers. This was driven of by gunilre and the bomb- CTS were forced to drop their tore pedoes at long range"
 Two enemy planes crashed ln this attack.
 The next attack was made by l2 torpedo holnbers at dusk on the same day, the Admiralty disclosed, ft was frustrated by naval fighter planes and the gunfiEe of ships.
 "Slx enemy aircraft crashed at sea-" teh comfnunique said, making the total for tho day 70 destroyed"

Council. also issued the following
statement:
The practice alert last night
brought forth as a whole fine CO.
operation from the citizens. Some
overlooked the seriousness of these
practice drills and ignored the alert
but it is anticipated that all will
soon realize these drills are had
for the benefit of all citizens.
The various defense units, after
a lack of practice drills for two
months, performed very creditsbly
The work of the First Aid
Squads, Air Raid Wardens, and
Auxiliary Police was particularly
commendable.
More Volunteers
The alert, however, showed the
imperative need of more volunteers.
AT least 100 more men should reg
lister immediately for work as
wardens, auxiliary police, auxiliary
firemen, ambulance drivers, and
stretcher bearers.
At a meeting of the Defense
Board after the alert Acting Gov
ernor Robert L. Bartlett gave a
resume of the present status Of
the contemplated organization Of
a Territorial Home Guard and in
timated that in the near future
it would be well under way.
Women Volunteers
The Board discussed calling for
women volunteers in defense work,
but deferred doing so for the
present in the belief there are still
hundreds of men, in the age brack-
ct above 40, who are not actively
participating in the work but who
will do so as soon as they realized
their services are required.
+, Volunteers should call for regis
tration cards at the City Hall, and
later will be assigned to the di-
visions of work for which they are
best qualified The Defense Board
emphasizes at least 100, volunteers
are needed Immediately.
Another practice alert will be
held on Thursday, March 26, be-
tween the hours of 6 and 7::3O
pm.
u First Aid Stations
Nineteen Civilian Defense first
aid stations responded to the IL
signal Patients had been pre-
viously located at points in the
vicinity of the first aid posts. The
station chiefs were given the To-
cation of the victims and proceed
ed to the scene of the accident
as soon as the signal was sound

The nature and extent of injury

Boy Scouts who acted as patients
AS soon as first aid had been rem
dered the patients were transport
ed by ambulance to the casualty
station servicing the zone. Each

TwirIers Suffered

There was no monkey bust
ness in this game. You took
those dice and tossed them SO
they would hit the farthest
backstop.
1t was just too bad If you
were twirler and the boys
caught on.
No rebukes, no scornful glares
nothing like that.
The accepted procedure was
to take the offender, strip him
of breeches and drawers-face
him to a wall where he would
be held as each of us solemnly
kicked him where it would do
the most good.
Thereafter. he was placed In
what amounted to coventry. No
one spoke to him except when
it was necessary for duty.

ever detected and accorded full
punishment.
