Finlayson
Passes Quota.

Finlayson. with quota set at $780,
BIG, went over the top Saturday,
May 1, with bond sales of $30,911,
subscribed and paid for in the April
bond drive. H. E. Shafer, general
chairman, desires to thank all the
solicitors and workers who did such
excellent work in selling war bonds.
They saw their duty and produced
results in grand style.
The quota is set according to local
bank deposits and although Finlay-
son village is one of the smaller
towns, it has one of the larger banks,
this being the reason for the high
quota for the Finlayson community
The purchasers of these war bonds
are to be congratulated for the in
terest shown in this campaign.

AWeek Of The War

tMaknassy, the, point ut which al
lied forces in Central Tunisia are
driving, is strategic importance
to both the Allies and the Axis. If
the ALLIES take Maknassy and press
on "a miles to Graiba, they will
have driven a wedge between Mar
shall Rommefs Afrika Korps and
the Axis forces Of Colonel General
Won Arnim in the Northern Sector
Of Tunisia, and the Afrika Korps
will be trapped between the British
Eighth Army and the Central Allied
Wedge.
Graiba dominates the coastal road
that runs up the Eastern side OF
Tunisia, and its capture would also
separate the two vital Axis supply
ports of Sfax and Gabes. Last
week, two American columns, driv-
ing on Maknassy from the North
west and the Southwest, showed
considerable gains. The Northern
column, striking from the area OF
Sid Bou lid, % miles from Max
nassy, progressed without 'excep-
tionally heavy" opposition. The
second column, striking Eastward
and North from Gafsa, met heavy
air and artillery resistance at Sened,
% miles Southwest of Maknassy,
but captured that station and dug
into positions about a miles east
Allied infantry have attacked en-
envy positions at Faid, an important
fountain pass in Central Tunlsia
where the Germans control high
ridge running North and South and
extending almost to Maknassy.
Continuing this drive on the
Tunisian East Coast, Allied bomb
ers on February 8, Wednesday, al
tackled an Axis Airdrome at 6 s,es
and enemy targets near the Coast

In announcing the Japanese effort
to regain control of the entire Solo
mons area, the Navy said air and
surface engagements between U. S.
and enemy forces were continuing.
Both u. S. and Japanese forces had
suffered losses, the announcement
said, but the military situation did
not permit publication of full de-
tails at that time. Secretary Of the
Navy Knox described these engage
ents as process Of feeling out"
by both sides--preliininary actions
involving Reconnaissance in force
Navy Communique NO. 271, Used
Thursday, February A, shed no new
light on the. action, stating only that
details concerning recurrent con-
facts between U. S. and Japanese air
and surface forces will not be an
nounced as long as such information
might jeopardize the safety of our
forces in our area of operations.
Japanese planes bomber U. S. posi-
tons on Guadalcanal. but U. S.
planes continued their attacks on
Munda, and General MacArthur's air
force kept up it's almost daily at
tacks on Rabaul and on enemy ship
ping in the vicinity.
On his return from a three weeks
trip to the South Pacific, Secretary
Knox said that substantially all or
ganized resistance by japanese
ground forces on Guadalcanal had
been cleaned up and that Aeriean
forces now completely dominate the
Guadalcanal area. On Monday and
Tuesday February and 2, U. s.
ground orces on the Island con-
tinued their advance to the West,
crossed the Bonegi River (one-half
mile East of Tassafaronga and about
l % miles West of Henderson Field)
occupied elevated positions West of
the River, captured considerable
enemy equipment and killed about
100 Japanese.

Mississippi should be proud OF
Camp Shelby, at Hattiesburg, was
the conclusion we drew after spend
ing last weekend there as the guest
of the post commander, Brig. Gen.
G. M. Hallioran, Col. Loren Brooks
and Col. T. B. Birdsong. We werc
fortunate in being included /, in .
party United to inspect the camp and
were shown the entire layout by
Gen. Halloran and his staff.
The Mississippi camp is one of the
largest in the nation and it would
be hard to believe there are any
camps in the country more attrac-
tive or any finer. All Of the tents.
which marked the camp when it was
the summer training camp for the
state National Guard, are gone and
in their place have arisen comfort
able, attractive barracks for the men
stationed there.
1t is generally known and hence
no military secret that Shelby is
3-division camp and that is pretty
large when we compare it to the one
division camp at Camp Mccain, 80
miles north of .Durant. Camp Van
Dorm, near Centerville, in this state,
is also q one-division camp.
The terrain around Shelby, we are
told, is ideal for an army camp and
this must be true or the government
would not have expanded it so much.
Service clubs, libraries, five movie
houses, facilities for almost all kinds
Of recreation have been provided by
Uncle Sam to help keep his men in
the best of shape and to give them
something interesting to do when they
are off-duty.
There were only two WAAC's at
Shelby last week and they are on
recruiting duty. Expected to arrive
any time now are $50 auxiliaries
(privates) in the WAAC. Housing
has already been provided and is
awaiting these newest women re-
cruits who have just finished their
training at Fort Des Moines, Iowa.
These women will replace able
bodied men now engaged in various
activities necessary to the army and
relieve them for fighting. Gen.
Halloran takes the WAAC very seri-
ously and say that the women are
really needed and fill very defin-
itely an important place in the war
rogram...4Evidence Of this Is shown
in the intensive recruiting campaign
being carried on now in the press,
radio and magazines, and by the
WAAC recruiting staff. Specifically
5000 women are wanted in the next
three months from the seven states
that comprise the Fourth Service
Command alone. These states are
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, North Carolina and
South Carolina. 100000 women are
expected to be recruited in the
WAAC by April /.
Army recruiting officers which for
merly catered entirely to men now
are concerned almost exclusively with
the job of obtaining enlistments for
the WAAC.
Everything we saw at Shelby was
interesting but all Of it cannot be
told. Suffice to say that Shelby in
World War III will far surpass the
record it made in World War l when
it was acclaimed the healthiest camp
in the nation.
