bombing mission over Rome were
the big railroad yards in the Italian
metropolis. The Nogalian loosed no
small amount of eggs" on that
target and took a big part in the
destruction wrought upon that city
before the Italians threw up their
hands and flopped over to the ranks
of the Allies
Berrellez was in Tunisia when
Rommel, famous German general,
was loose-in the days just before
the British turned the tide at the
battle of Ell Alamein 40 miles from
Alexandria and Rommel was pushed
out of Africa forever.
Home for a greatly needed rest,
and reward for bravery after COM
pleting so flying missions, Berrellez
expects to remain in Nogales until
the first Of December. Then he
will go to Salt Lake City and be-
come an instructor in the Army air
corps, and he said he may apply for
training as pilot. I'm very glad
to be back in the old home town.
he told the Nogales international
Tuesday and it is needless to say his
many friends are glad too. They
are jubilant over his safe return
after many narrowing experiences

Asked if he had seen any No

was in the same group with Tech.

Mabante, two Nogales gunners

the big forest fires all over the C2li-

Order By Lieutenant

The dimout in Kent and Sussex
counties, effective since the spring
of 1912, will be lifted at midnight
Sunday. Lieutenant-G General George

nounced Wednesday night.
General Grunert's order was part
Of a War and Navy Department
announcement from Washington
which suspends the dimout along
the entire Atlantic, Pacific and
Gulf coasts.
Ending of the dimout was made
possible, the order stated, because
of the successful anti-submarine
campaign in coastal waters.
May Be Restored Later
The announcement stated, how
ever, that it may be restored at any
time on the order of sea frontier
commanders if U-boat activity is
resumed. Communities then would
have to be prepared for a total
blackout with the commander in
chief of the U. S. feet as Judge of
the area involved.
The Delaware State Council of
Defensesissued the following state
ment Wednesday night in connec-
tion with the new order:
THE dimout regulations in the
coastal area were not for the pur-
pose of preventing air raids, for
which a warning system has been
devised, but were to prevent sky
glow from silhouetting ships and
them easy prey for the sub

BrOiler Supply off 10
Pct In Month; Stays Above ~

October was 2S.2 cents per
pound-slightly below the price a
month earlier. A year ago on Oc-
tober 5 the reported price of broil-
ers was 21.1 cents per pound.
War food goals recommended by
the government call for a 20 per
cent reduction in United States
broiler production in 1914 compar-
ed with 1943. Even though United
States food crop production is in
dicated to be rather favorable. when
compared with years prior to 1912,
supplies are unevenly distributed
and it will be necessary to adjust
live stock and poultry numbers to
anticipated feed supplies, the de-
partment said.
The supply of animal protein
feeds available in 1943-44 is expect
ed to be 13 per cent smaller in rela-
tion to the number of hogs and
poultry on farms than in 1942-4S.
Milford chronicle., 1943-10-29

A drop of 10 per cent in the
number of broilers on hand on
Delaware poultry farms between
September and October was
reported this week by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, but the num-
ber on hand is still per cent
higher than the total at this time
last year.
Birds now on hand in Delaware
total 14.4O0,0OO. according to re-
ports to the department. Last year.
approximately 13,500.000 birds
were on hand.
Heavy movement of broilers late
in October is indicated by the age
distribution of the fowl now on
hand, the department said. and
subsequent heavy movements may
be expected in the latter part of
November. late in December. and
during the first week of 1914.
