CITIES TO SHOW
GARDEN RESULTS
State Committee Asks All
Communities to Plan
Harvest Exhibits

Cities and towns today were en-
couraged by State Food Admins
traitor Henry B. Mosle to hold har-
vest exhibitions of products from
local war gardens.
In a memorandum to local war
council chairmen and local war
garden chairmen, Mr.. Mosle said
the State War Garden Committee
has decided not to promote harvest
exhibitions on a statewide scale be-
cause of the transportation diff
culties at the present time.
A sample score card for vegetable
exhibits, prepared by Albert E. Will
kinson, Professor of Vegetable Gar
dening at the University of Connec-
ticut, was also sent to the chair
men. Professor Wilkinson suggests
that home garden displays cover a
space three feet wide and five feet
long. This display should be judged
on the basis of 100 points: 80 points
as the maximum for attractive ar
rangements; 40 for the largest
number of kinds of vegetables; and
30 for uniformity of size, shape and
color of exhibit in each kind.
Other displays for vitamin con-
tent were also suggested as were
original examples of how vegetables
can be stored for winter use by the
home gardener and exhibits OF
rdied, brined canned and preserved
vegetables and small fruits.

jungle forces deployed east and
north of Munda, main japanese base
in the Central Solomons today for
an all-out ground assault following
massive naval, plane and artil-
lery bombardment that pulverized
its defenses.
U. S. warships, presumably cruis-
ers and destroyers, laid down the
initial barrage under the cover of
darkness just before dawn yesterday
and more than 100 Avenger and
Dauntless bombers, with All escort
of Wildcats, took over the offensive
in the first light of day.
The aerial armada, largest ever
mustered for a single operation in
the South Pacific theater, dropped
more than 10 tons of bombs rang
ing up to one-ton block-busters on
japanese bivouacs, supply dumps
and anti-aircraft positions between
Munda Point and Lambeth.
Artillery brought up by American
forces holding positions only two
miles east of Munda, along with
other guns mounted on Rendova
Island five miles to the south, add
ed to the devastation with concen-
trated barrages.
simultaneously, other Dauntlesses,
covered by Wildcats, attacked the
subsidiary enemy bases of Bairoko,
and Enogai Inlet, 10 miles above
Munda, on the northern shore Of
New Georgia Island. American
ground troops also hold positions
within a few miles of these bases.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's COM
munique, in announcing the bonn
bardment of Munda, gave no de-
tails of pending land operations,
though the Americans were known
to be in contact with the japanese
near Elelo, less than three miles east
of Munda, and also south of Enogai
Inlet.
Forty-five Japanese planes at
tempted to raid American positions
on Rendova, but were intercepted
and dispersed by Allied fighters
which shot down four of the raid
ers. One Allied plane was lost.
At the opposite end of the TOO
mile south-southwest Pacific, Nit
chel bombers bombed and strafed
enemy positions along Bobdubi ridge
only four miles southwest Of Sala-
maua, big Japanese base on the
northern shore Of New Guinea. Fires
were started.
The action was described by Mac
Arthur as lin direct support Of
ground troops" a hint that an AL
lied attack on Salamaua itself may
not be long delayed.

Success in combating mastltls

BUY WAR BONDS, STAMPS

Thomaston, July 10. - Thomas
Reynolds, chairman of the Salvage
Committee of the local War Coun-
oil, stated Friday that the next
collection of tin cans will be made
the week of July u. Persons who
have cans to be collected should
contact Mr.. Reynolds whose tele-
phone is 493 and he will see that
the cans are called for. During the
past drive a number of people failed
to notify Mr. Reynolds at the time
that cans were being collected and
were highly indignant when in
formed that they would have to hold
this salvage material for the next
collection. MI. Reynolds wishes to
cooperate in every way possible, but
if people do not contact him, he is
powerless to complete his salvage
job. ToWnfolks are requested to
give Mr.. Reynolds plenty of notice
and to also remember that he and
the others who undertake this sal
wage job are doing it as their patri-
otto duty and are receiving no sal
airy and are not looking for any ma
terial gain. If all work together
the job will be well taken care OF
and this material which our gov
eminent is sorely in need of Will
find its way to the right channels.

Old records or new records will be
gladly received by the Legionnaires
and persons who have records the
requested to notify Thomas Reynolds

A large number of records were re-
ceived in a previous drive sponsored
by the Legion and Mr.. Reynolds is
out to top the last record drive.
People back home who have the
comforts and the means of enter
tainment should remember our boys
who are on our far flung battle
lines and have no radios or means
of entertainment. These records
collected by the Legion in drive
being conducted in every state OF

who have been most generous IN
