Anglo o-American forces pounded
ahead five to seven miles at both
flanks of the Italian front and
smashed into the German defenSeS
in the center, forcing the enemy
into a general withdrawal to new
mountain positions only 80 miles
from Rome.

the Garigliano river on the west
coast, while Gen. Sir Bernard L.

north bank of the Trigno river.
IN OUTSKIRTS
In the center, Allied troops fought
their way into the outskirts of Ven
afro, the only major pivot left to
the Germans since the fall yeSter-
day of Isernia, 13 miles southwest.
simultaneously, a Fifth army COL
umn stormed through Vallecupa and
cut off the German escape route

American Flying Fortresses and

struck at the Reich on Wednesday.
The raiding force faced attack
b. German fighters almost from
the moment it crossed the coast of
the continent until it had delivered
it's bomb load and reached the sea
on the way back.
Today's raid was different from
previous attacks on the interior of
Germany. Long range fighter planes

way with the bombers.
AT WESTERN GERMANY
A headquarters announcement of
the attack said it was aimed at
western Germany.
First reports from the creWmen
indicated the anti-aircraft fire was
heavy over the targets. But they
said the fignoerS provided magnifi-
cent protection against the Nazi
attacks, keeping most of them away
from the bomber formations.
Man. dogfights occurred along
the raiding route, and several Ger

Fortress and Liberator losses were
considered reasonable in view of
the opposition. But the percentage
probable was somewhat higher than

I'd today, Thursday, that the
county Jail had been empty since
Wednesday, for the first time
since he has had charge or dur
ing the two terms that the Jail
was kept by former Sheriff J. IL.
Anderson.
Il is surmised that the lack of
-9oarders at the jail is due to the
absence of hundreds Of citizens
IN the armed forces and on de-
tense works and that the women
and olsters left are for the time
being strictly on their behavior.
Also, the rationing of Whiskey by

ending of the fee system.

Ration Calendar

For the general information Of
the public, the War Price and
Rationing Board has issued the
following statement:
A new sye- N of rationing is
being put 444to operation-the
point system. Do not be alarmed
about it. There will be nothing
very difficult about it. England
has used it with good results-so
can we Americans.
For your guidance we are Civ
ing you the following brief out
line of the plan. On Saturday
night at IL p. m, Feb. 20, l943,
the sale of all commercially can
ned and processed fruits and veg
etables will be frozen until Mon
day, March l, 1913. Thereafter
ALL such foods will be sold only
to persons possessing War Ration
Book No. 2. This is a new book
and should not be confused with
the sugar rationing book. Also
+l1i
tioning has notling to do with
home canned foods.
Please note the following items
for consumers (users)
i. Each family must count its
commercially canned foods on
hand as Of midnight Feb. 20; de-
duct five cans for each member
Of the family. The balance must
be reported to the registrars at
school sites.
2. One member of the family
must take all Ration Books No.
belonging to the family group to
the most convenient school house
for registration for Ration Book
No. 2. This registration begins on
Monday, Feb. % and will con-
tinue at least one other day.
Your teacher will keep you in
formed as to closing date of reg
istration. If you do not register
on those dates, you will have to
come to the county rationing Of
flee at Clintwood to register.
Save yourself trouble and ex-
pense by registering at your 10
cal school.
5. Rationing Book No. 2 has
two colors in stamps-blue and
red. The only one to be consider
ed for canned food is the blue
stamp. The red stamp will be
used later, if needed, for meats.
Even if you do not need buy
canned foods or meets, get your
Ration Book No. 2, for it will
probably be used for other pro
ducts you will want to buy.
4. Only the A, B, and c blue
stamps will be used in March
They contain 48 points. The mean
