ALLIED HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Algiers, Oct. 13.
(UP) - Anglo American
forces have hammered a 100
square-mile dent in the Ger
man defense line across Italy in
gains ranging up to 10 miles, which
brought most of the Naples -Termoli
highway under Allied gunfire and
extended the thanking move around
the Volturno line. s.
Surging forward in the key Sec
tors of 5O-mile front from central
Italy to the Adriatic, the Allies cap
tured the four big towns of San
Croce Di Sannio, Riccia, Bonefro
and St. Ella
In the center, the American and
British troops thrust another 10
miles beyond the Galore river to
seize San Croce Di Sannio and
Riccia, from where they were in
position to threaten directly the
Vinchiaturo junction on the Naples
-Termini line keying the traffic
through the peninsula.
Against spaSmodic resistance, the
British Eighth army gained up to
10 miles in the Adriatic sector, NOV
ing along the coast four miles be-
yond Termoli.
The new line runs from the
mouth of the Volturno along that
river to the Galore, swinging over
the Pontelandolfo, thence to newly
captured San Croce Di Sannio, Ric-
cia, st. Ella, and Bonefro to the
Adriatic above Termoli.

RESTRAINING ORDER
Mrs. Nassau also asked the court
to restrain Flynn from dissipating
his fortune, which is accommodating
at the rate of $4,000 a week, the
complaint stated.
Court records show that on Nov.
20, 1910, Flynn paid Mrs. Hassaus
mother, Mrs. Marion Taylor Evans
$4,000 in settlement of a personal
injury claim.
Flynn was involved on two
charges involving young women last
November when two teen-age girls
hailed him into court on statutory
rape charges. Betty Hansen, II,
charged Flynn attacked her in a
guest room in Hollywood home.
Peggy Anne Satterlee, 16, said
Flynn took her on a pleasure cruise
and offered to show her the moon
through portfolio. Instead, she
charged, he attacked her twice.
FLYNN, ACQUITTED
Flynn later was acquitted on all
charges.
Flynn currently is unmarried.
Actress Lii Damita, his former
wife, obtained a final divorce de-
cree last April 8.
Rumors of second marriage rose
several months ago when he vaca-
toned in acapulco, Mex, with red
haired Nora Eddington, apprentice
employee in local defense plant.
Both denied marriage intentions.
Miss Eddington operated a con-
cession in the hall of justice dur
ing Flynns trial on the rape
charges, and said she became ac-
quainted with him then.

NEWS
BY ROY H. GROUSE, Agent
J. HARVEY PAYNE, Asst. Agt.

Ashe county farmers are urged
to make preparations for produc-
ing more feed this year in view
of an evident feed shortage. We
can produce more of our protein
feeds in the county, to take the
place of cottonseed meal or other
high protein suDpliments, by
growing a good quality of legume
hay. Lespedeza, alfalfa, red clover
and soybeans all grow we'll here
and there is no reason for not
having a sufficient acreage of
these legumes to feed our live
stock.
T. E. Dickson, of Nathan's Creek,
said he produced his cheapest
milk from feeding good quality
soybean hay. He and many other
dairymen have found that very
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-04-29

little cottonseed meal or dairy
feed will have to be bought if
we feed legume hay and silage.
The quality of clover hay is often
reduced in Ashe county by wait
ing too late for cutting. Clover
should be cut when it is in full
bloom. At this stage clover will
yield the largest tonnage per acre
and will also contain more crude
protein, fat, nitrogen-free extract
and ash than it will contain by
later cutting.
Yellow corn should be planted
for feeding livestock and poultry.
Experiments have shown yellow
corn to contain much more vita
min A than white corn, which
is much needed in the ration of
livestock and poultry.
