A WEEK OF THE WAR

(COntlnued from page
General Giraud, French High Com
missioner, said no attempts to divide
the French people in North Africa
will be tolerated The communique,
explaining that steps had been taken
to insure tranquility behind the
fighting lines, said most persons had
accepted the recent developments
calmly but small element had been
trying to cause unrest.
President Roosevelt expects to
confer soon with Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, but has already discussed,
with mission from Gen. Giraud,
the question of supplies for French
troops. Elmer Davis and Milton Els
enhower of the Office Of War In
formation told press conference
that unless substantial quantities of
food and clothing arrive in North
Africa before February /, there will
be serious trouble there. Much of
the food earmarked for that area
by lend-lease has arrived, but much
more is needed.
From the beginning of the North
Africa operations to December 26,
277 enemy airplanes have been de-
stroyed. Allied losses for the same
period total 114-59 from t he
USAAF and SIS from the Raj.
: Allied air activity in North Africa
has taken five main forms - short
range fighters and fighter bombers
(mainly provided by the RAF) do
battle area attacking; bombers (main-
ly provided by the USAAF) carry
out daylight attacks on ports, ship
ping, airdromes and railways; Raj
bombers handle heavy night attacks;
RAF reconnaissance planes protect
conveys and attack U-boats, and
USAAF transport planes bring men
and supplies into the forward areas.
In the southwest pacific area in
i942, 1926 Japanese planes were
destroyed or damaged, according to
an Allied Air Forces announcement
Allied plane losses in 1912 were
small.

County Formers Set
Record Egg Production

Farm egg production records for
month of December have been re-
ceived from five poultrymen of Hol-
mes County. The highest production
shown by any Of these records is one
with 288 hens. This flock produced
1888 eggs or a monthly average Of
III egg per hen per month.
These eggs sold at SOC per dozen
or Tic per hen The feed cost per
hen was 23c which left profit of
48d per hen.
BY simple arithmetic it will be
easy to figure the profit received
from this flock during the month of
December.
This record was made by securing
chicks from flock of high produc-
ing hens, a good laying house and
proper feeding, says County Agent
I. w. Carson.

massage your feet thoroughly with
ordinary cold cream. From the
ankle down, work your toes to
stimulate the blood circulation, and
knead the instep and balls of the
feet with vigor and determination.
With decent treatment and regular
care, there is no reason why your
feet, in time, cannot have that we'll
groomed appearance of a lovely
woman's decorative hands.
Neither is there any reason why
the tOenails, usually so neglected,
cannot be as ornamental as the
fingenailS of q cultured woman.
Allowing them to become discolored
and misshapen because they are not
always on public view, is as sloven-
ly as housewives sweeping under
the rug. Push ba&Mhe cuticle
yourself, with cuticle u which is
obtainable at any toilet counter.
File the nails straight across, cut
off the calloused places, and apply
polish. This should be the same
shade as the polish you use on your
fingernails, or the clear, colorless
enamel that acts as protection.
Change the polish often. Clipped
and broken enamel is pretentious
bad taste.
In hot weather with its perspira-
ton and insect pests, feet should
be regularly treated to disinfectants
and deodorants applied in required
solutions. Wipe the feet well after
their massage, and use stearate of
zinc powder to dry them completely.
AS often as possible, allow access
OF free air. And if you can go back
to nature as barefoot girl for part
Of the day, walking on clean grass,
your feet will take on that strong,
straight look that is one of life's
compensations to the peasant in
primitive countries where shoes are
looked upon as inventions of the
