ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN TILE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC. -Presaglng heavy navy air bat ties to come, Japan is rushing heavy and light cruisers and des- troyerS from Truk to Rabaul in frantic effort to halt the Allied drive up the Solomons, headquar- ters revealed today.
 It appeared likely that at least five conveys were southbound over the 300 miles from TrMe toward -Kavieng, New Ireland, and Rabaul, New Britain.
 The largest convoy was spotted by Allied reconnaissance planes. and included five destroyers, two corvettes, whaling ship, three frelghterS, with five heavy and three light cruisers.
 MaoArthur said the Japanese were trying to relieve the sit uatlon', where American planes n eight raids sunk six destroy CTS. damaged two heavy cruisers. a destroyer tender, submarine. a submarine tender. and sunk con- siderable tonnage ii large ner- chant vSSeS. In those raids more than TOO Japanese planes were destroyed and damaged. The heavy blows kept Rabaul largely neutralized and unable to cope with the situation in the invasion of Bougainville, 2S0 miles to the southeast of Empress of Augusta Bay.
 At least one of the conyoys sighted already has been bombed and hits were made on two cargo vessels.
 General Macarthur emphaSiz- ed that there were still no indi- cations so far that the main Jap- anese battle fleet was moving into position of combat. No Sightings at any point of enemy capital ships or aircraft carriers.

.RAILROADERS
 RAISE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8,-(AP) A special presidential board is considering wage demans of r. HOO incorporating railroad workers, and recommended wage increases ranging from l0c an hour in the lower pay brackets, to four cents per hour in the top paid groups.
 Economic Stabilization Director Vinson said the new recommend ations approved increases effec- tive November 18th.
 The sliding scale replaces prev ious award of flat eight cents per hour on all wage classified tions, which Vinson reected.
 However, rail union spokesmen promptly rejected raises. P. M. Jewell, chairman of the rail em- ployes' wage conference commit tee, called the recommendations entirely unsatisfactory.
 Fifteen unions were affected and representative railroad work CTS who don't actually run trains or engines, are now taking a strike vote for an increase to be retroactive from February 1st.

EXPLOSIONS
 ROCK CAETA. SOUTH OF ROME

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS, Nov. 8.-(AP)-Re- peated explosions in Gaeta indi- cated that the Germans were pre- pairing to abandon that port, 70 miles south of Rome.
 Allied headquarters announced another mile gain by the Amer ican Fifth Army in push which threatened to short-circuit the coastal mountains where the enemy had anchored the new de- fense line.
 The British Eighth Army was today sweeping five miles ahead along the Adriatic coast and against fierce resistance, took possession of the entire length of the Sinello river, advanced on the Sangro river, the next natural barrier in that area, capturing Scerni, CasaIbordino, Carunchio and Gissialcito.
 Montgomery's veteran outfits took over the entire strength of a lateral road inland from Vasto as some places within seven miles of Sangro, where the Ger mans are evidently preparing a new stand.
 In the central portion of the Fifth Army's front Clark's Americans drove ahead over the toughest country in the whole Allied line to achieve a gain of one mile, and capture Calablitto.

Thinning Plants For Production

uhuUhhhk 4 " kEO0VCllOm
This year. as lever before, the
gardener should follow good gardening
rules: "a Plan the garden carefully
(2) Purchase seed wisely, and CD Sow
seed sparingly and transplant all sur
plus plants which may be transpianted;
as a thinning process is essential for
many vegetables for the greatest pro-
duction.
In most cases, two or three times as
much seed is planted as is needed; and
this not only is a waste of seed but
brings on extra work, as thinning Is
necessary for maximum production and
quality. Plants growing too thick In
the row produce not only lower quality
vegetables, but require more fertilizer,
more water, and even with this extra
care, never reach maximum production
of f~irst-quality vegetables.
Beets, cabbage, lettuce, and tomato
plants may be transplanted elsewhere
as they are thinned from the row OF

pepper plant may be transplanted blu,

plants. One should not try to t~ransplan,

ing these two months 80 per cent Of all
forest fires occur in this country. There
has been an average Of 200 forest fires
a day over the state during the past 8
weeks. Too many Of those fires are
occurring right here in this county.
We hope that every farmer in this
county will use every precaution in
clearing and, cleaning new ground. ditch
banks and old fields, to see to It that
the fires he uses for such purposes does
not get away and into the woods. When
fire gets into the woods millions Of tree
seed, and thousands of tree seedlings
are burned and destroyed. Each year
forest fires destroy from $25 900 to
$1,000 600 worth of seed, young trees and
timber in this county, total of over
4 million dollars for the entire state.
A few precautions that may save thou
sands of acres of timber are: "a Do
not start a fire. (2) Stop all fires while
they are still small and are easily ex-
tinguished. g Plow a fire lane between
your fields and your woods, and be-
tween your woods and you neighbours
woods. ca Burn brush only on damp
days where there is no wind and your
five can be controlled.
Remember your government needs
this year IL billion board feet of tim
Der to make boxes, barrels, crates and
other containers just to ship food,
ammunition and fighting equipment to
our armed forces. Four thousand board
feet of lumber is needed for every
soldier, sailor, and marine to fully equip,
house and ship him and his supplies to
the battlefronts. Every fire destroys
4 1000 or more board feet of timber. So
prevent all fires. Remember Careless

The "bazooka" is said to be the soldiers name for
a new anti-tank gun which has played havoc with
German tanks III North Africa.

that the "bazookas have been in production for

It possesses great explosive and considerable effect

The day before the above information was released

up successes that make the enemy gasp"
Mr.. Green says the r. A. F. started developing the
aerial tank buster" months ago and it puts
air forces far ahead of the enemy that the only
possible thing for the Axis is to play "catch up"
He says that Hurricanes, equipped with the secret

The Costs Of An Aerial Offensive

Major-General Ira C. Eaker, Chief of the United
States Eighth Air Force in Great Britain, says that in
the future, his forces will be of size Every nearly
approaching that of the Raj"
The General looks forward to the time when Amer
leans will "fun partnership" in the air offensive
against Germany. He says that American operations
will be chiefly conducted in daylight, with the great
of the American air force being flying fortresses.
These will be better armed and carry bigger cargoes
of destruction.
The American commander is satisfied that they
will "beat off the best enemy fighter opposition with
out excessive uneconomcal loss' and that his
Twill hit any target they see."
General Eaker says that he prefers to bomb by
daylight when targets can be and that consider
ing the overall effort, this is desirable because
the enemy will get rest, being subject to attack
any hour of the day night.
This interesting forecast of increasing American
aerial activity from Great Britain indicates that the
air offensive against Germany will be stepped up dur
ing the next few months This makes pertinent a
question recently asked in London newspaper: "What
has become of those 1000 bomber raids Germany"
The air expert of the London Observer points out
that five per cent loss ratio 1,000-bomber raid
the loss Of fifty aircraft and $50 members of
the crews. Ninety such raids would the loss
