A fleet of II Jap ships is lurking
somewhere today off the NORTH

cover of a heavy tropical storm.
The fleet was sighted shortly
before the storm broke by a re.
eonnoiterns plane. but when the
news reached the Allied base on
Port MoresbY. the wind was so
intense and the rain SO loren
fisl they kept the bombing
squadrons grounded.
News from the front added
that the planes are poised. ready
to fly to the attack as soon as
a lull in the storm begins.
This fleet is one of several
others that the Japanese have

safeguard. For he had another
1ault. He was seh-important and
liked to impress. He knew this
weakness and kept watch on him
self. 1t didn't pay to have a big
mouth these days. But once in a
while, especially on the rare &C.
caslons when he allowed himself
an extra glass or two, his guard
would slip.
One such occasion, about three
weeks before, was the cause of
these recurrent nightmares of his.
What had he said to that stranger
whom he had not seen again?
What had he said? He sweated,
trying to remember. Why had he
taken that extra drink? In the
Wineroom he had been all right.
Never said word there about the
plane or the visit of the august
personages, he was sure. Colt sci
dank! 1t was known that the place
was full of informers.
But when he had left the wine
room-alone, he was glad to re-
member-the cold night air must
have brought the alcohol to his
head. So when he had been over
taken by the stranger, they some
how got talking of the plane ;,
Here exact recollection ended.
Only, Vogel had a dreadful sus-
plcion he had unbuttoned his
lip completely. He remembered
vaguely having felt very impor-
tant - having enjoyed impressing
the stranger with the Importance

recalled the tremendous upset at
the works after the visit of the
august personages, the Gestapo all

Five days leave. He would see

people again. Four whole days

And Mannheim! What luckl 1t
was near home. He would not be
separated from the family at
Mannheim. He would be able to
get home for few hours-maybe
longer-quite often. Maybe once
week.
He counted the days on the cal

he stared at the wall happily, see

At last he put out the light,

not notice.

RALEIGH, Nov. IN - The
State Board Of Education today
voted to declare a 10sper-cent di
vidend in both the high schoo
and supplementary textbook and
reader funds, and granted full
year pay raises to teachers hold
ing class c, elementary A and E
certificates under maximum and
minimum schedules.
The board recommended that 9
dividend of $11, 1O5.16 be declared
in the high school supplementary
fund. leaving $115,854.23 in the
fund, and $1,474.99 in the supple
nentary fund, leaving $37, 18O: II
The total operating fund is $751;
| 34O.05.
In recommending the dividends
the Board stated that dividends Of
$50, 072.46 and SIT, 760.48 had beer
declared in the high school fund
in October 1914 and 1912, respec
lively. 1t added that the dividend
would not affect the general op
Grating fund.
Dividends of $13,632.3s, $14,.
777.66 and $4,839.43 were declared
in the supplementary reader FUND
in March and October, 1941, and
December 1912, respectively.
The dividends are based on col
lections in the textbook fund prior
to the time the system became
self-supporting, Comptroller Ma
than Yelton said.
Yelton said the pay raises were
designed to help those teachers in
the lower classification, especial
ly those who have returned to
school work for the duration OF
the war. The raises will depend
upon the years Of experience the
teacher may have.
Retroactive and for the year
only, the raises will cost the state
and estimated $21, 1850, Yelton said.
The board will hold a special
meeting next Thursday to consid-
er recommendations that the teach
er load in the first three grades
of school units be lowered, and
the question of allocating extra
teachers for service in the Lasker
school in Northampton county. A
delegation of Is Northampton citi-
zens appeared at today's meeting
of the board to give testimony
in support of the request, but no
action was taken.

election for the Elizabeth City
school system, calling for a tax
of 16 cents on each 500 valua-
ton, another requested by the

R Population Increase
 Here Upsets Plans
Estimate of IOS,OOO Residents By Ration Board Ofi.
 ciaIs Apparently Too Conservative

Wide specialization on the extent of Waterhury's population rise during the past few months has been aroused by the unexpectedly large issuance of ration books ct registra- ton headquarters during the pest four days. Ration officials estimated the total number of persons regis. tering would be about 108 900, the number obtaining the first ration book, but the figure already stands ct about oeO00, according to Q re. port by Mrs. Charlotte Root, food ration administrators.
 Approximately 2S,0O0 books were issued yesterday and registration iS expected by some officials to be at least as heavy tonight. Mrs. Root gives 6 conservative estimate of the final figure at 116,000, but some ob- servers raise the amount to i26,000. The increase in population created by incoming war workers was ex. pected to be offset by decrease of young men called to the armed forces, and ration officials today ex- pressed surprise at the large volume of persons served.
 Assurance was given by Mrs. Root today that all consumers who report this afternoon and tonight will be issued books. Fears of shortage had been expressed last night when stocks on hand at some registration centers were quickly depleted and
