10000 Shells for
Shofguns Arrive
TO Save I.V. Cr0ps

Farmers who need shot
gun shells to kill wildfowl
and predatory birds in their
growing fields may now OBJ
tain them at the Imperial
Valley Hardware by presenting val
idated applications obtained from
the county USDA War Board.
Seventy thousand shells arrived
late Wednesday night by truck from
Los Angeles. The shells had been
expected for several days, accord
ing to Rudolf Miller's USDA office,
but failed to arrive until Wednes-
day and will now be ready for dis
tribution Friday,
Farmers are the only hunters
eligible for this emergency supply
which supplements the previous
shipments of % calibre shells. Far
mers must apply to Miller's office
for an application order which is
validated in duplicate, the same
procedure as used in the sale OF
the % ammunition. These applica-
tions should be taken to the l.. V.
Hardware where purchase may be
made. One copy of the application
is retained by the store and the
other returned to the USDA War
Board offices for record purposes.
The shells were allocated from
the Benicia Arsenal at San Fran
cisco for use in Imperial county.

troops scored their most important

the Sangro on the Adriatic front

PeScara also has a major deep

in the transport of Allied supplies.
The Eighth army penetration was
in the forward area of the So
called German winter line, which
prisoners said the Nazis had been
ordered to hold at all costs.
During the past few days, the
Eighth army, fighting in excep-

Allied Planes Hit
Northern France
In Big Operation
Mosquito BOmbers Send
Berlin Residents into
Cellars Third Night

LONDON, Nov. 25. (UP)
Allied warplanes carried
out one of the biggest all
day sweeps of northern
France in months today af-
ter plywood Mosquito bombers drove
BerlinerS underground for the third
straight night with a small-scale
attack on the battered German
capital.
A formation of about so medium
bomberS heavily escorted by Spit
fires rounded out the daylight
sweeps late in the day. Flying fair
ly high in groups of six, they swept
in from the direction of Eoulogne.
TRAFFIC HEAVi
Traffic was neavy over the chan
mel all day. 1t began with a large
force of bombers striking across
toward France early in the day.
The Royal air force giant four
motored bomberS apparently were
grounded last night, after dropping
almost 1000 tons of explosives and
fire bombs on Berlin Monday and
Tuesday nights in what appeared
to be the first major blow to knock
the German capital out of the war.
n thousand or more fires still
blazed through the stricken city,
however, and the speedy 'Mosqui-
toes heaped new destruction on
the pyre in a raid that accomplish
ed the twin purpose of reconnoiter-
ing the damage caused in the two
previous raids and of keeping Ber-
Inns defenses in a state of alarm.
FIRES BURNING
A dispatch from Stockholm said
billowing smoke clouds from the
burning NaZi capital drifted as far
north as Sweden all day Wednes-
daJ, reaching even as far as the
island of Oeland, almost 300 miles
from Berlin.
The German radio continued to
rail against the British terror"
attacks and Stockholm reported
that WilhelmstrasSe spokesman

Treasury Demand

that committee hearings would not
be prolonged and expressed hope
that action would be completed
within a week.
The house bill, approved by 200
to 27 vote, contained individual in
come tax hikes aggregating $l54,-
100000, and some $6i6,000000 in
increased excess profits taxes. The
balance of the tax boost was i'll
heavier eXciSes on liquor, beer, wine,
transportation, communications and
a wide range of so-called luXurieS,
in addition to increased postage
rates.
The 80 per cent reduction which
the house made in treasury demands
was paralleled by marked economies
in war budgets which already have
reached 14,00O,O00,000, with indi-
cations that as much as S25000,-
100000 more may be saved by cut
ting war spending.
The house bin raises local first
class mail rates from two to three
cents to yield $44,000,000. Out-of-
town mail would remain unchanged
but airmail rates would go up from
six to eight cents for an additional
yield of $11,000,000 Third class mail
would be doubled to produce $74,-
100000.
Other postal rate increases would
include money orders with six to
22-cent rates upped to 10 to 27
cents for $2l 100000 additional reve-
nue.; registered mail rates in the
Is cents to 81 bracket raised to
20 cents to $l.35 for an increased
yield of S4,500,000, and insured mail
rates raised from the five-to-35- cent
bracket to 10-to-70- 0-cents for reve-
nue. increase of $6,500000.

For Thanksgiving
Our friend, Fred Nebel-Thau,
found this somewhere and it was
so apt that he passed it on to us.
We think it would be good idea
for all of us to read this on Thanks
giving day.
Dear Family:
Its nice to hear from YOU after
such a long period of time, but 1t
is unpleasant to learn OF your
changed condition of living, which
I can readily understand from the
change of my own condition.
"It is too bad that you are limit
ed in the use of your automobile,
I know how it is to walk through
miles Of swamp and jungle. So l
understand.
"It's too bad that your choice OF
food is limited. I have experienced
this, too, except there is no choice
here. SO / understand.
"It's too bad that you have to
work so many hours a day at the
defense plant. l have to work night
as well as day at olT defense plant.
SO, l understand.
TITS too bad that you are being
paid so little for working so hard.

The newspaper Aftontldnlngen
quoted a private source as report
ing that the Nazi deputy district
leader of Berlin told the foreign
press yesterday that between 5000
and 10000 persons were killed in
the Royal air force attacks Mon
day and Tuesday nights.
r The Nazi-controlled Scandinav-
ian telegraph bureau reported from
Berlin that Martin Bormann, dep
uty partr leader, had notified the
leaders Of so-called bomb-f:ee dis
trictS TO prepare accommodations
for 100000 to 100000 evacuees
soon.
MUST DOUBLE UP
Munich was told that it must be
ready to receive great contingents'
of bombed-out Berliners within the
next few days. In the worst cases,
Bormann said, twice as many per-
sons must live in each unit as it
now is accommodating

rapidly as possible.
The foreign legations were ex-
pected to leave as soon as the
foreign office has established a
new seat, the Bern dispatch said.
The London Daily Mail said
Adolf Hitler himself headed the
stream of refugees from Berlin
Tuesday morning, Immediately after
the RATS record 1900 ton raid.
hitler was said to have been
holding a conference in the Reich
chancellery when the sirens sound
ed Monday night. He rushed to his
private shelter and left Berlin by
automobile Tuesday morning, the
Daily Mail said)
The reported flight of the Nazi
ministers raised the possibility that
either Vienna or KarlSbad might
have been pressed into service as
temporary capital. Both had been
mentioned previously as possible
government seats in the event thai
Berlin became uninhabitable.
