EARTHQUAKES HIT
SOLOMON ISLANDS

Weston, Mass, June 8. - (UP)-
Two very severe" earthquakes that
lasted about four hours each and
probably occurred in the vicinity OF
the Philippines, Guadalcanal or the
Solomons. we're reported today By
the Rev. Daniel Linehan, S. j., seis-
mologist at Weston College.
Both were of almost equal inten-

84l5 miles from Boston.
The first occurred at 5:02:l7 p. m
yesterday and the other was al
1852 p. m. last night.
"They would have resulted in eX'

occurred near civilization" Rev
Linehan said.

ALDERMEN FAVOR
NEW CITY AGENCY
Expert Custodian of City's
Realty Holdings May
Prevent Depreciation

Both Republican and Democratic
members of the aldermanic board
favor a plan to have the city estab-
lish an Office to handle real estate
obtained through foreclosures. Such
proposal may be acted upon at the
next meeting of the board OF alder
men.
The bid results for the Gaffney
school when compared 10 the orig
inal cost for the building and land
proved so astonishing, that members
were inspired TO have such transac-
tons taken care Of by qualified per-
sons. The school was constructed
just 10 years ago at the price Of
$4,000. Besides this, the city paid
about $4,000 more for the land on
which the school is situated. This
land included five good building lots
plus the lot on which the school
was put up, the extra land TO pro-
vide for recreational purposes.
However, after eight years, the
school was closed down. Conse-
quently, it became delapidated and
the inspector of school buildings re-
vealed that the walls and roof are
ready to cave in.
The amount of $500, which is
one tenth of the original cost, was
the highest bid offered for the
building and the five additional
lots. This revelation has caused
many of the aldermen to request
that a person be selected to handle
all city property which is not being
used by the municipality.
The first plan was to handle
properties obtained via foreclosure
for failure to pay taxes, several al
dermen felt that if property such
as the Gaffney school were in
charge of special official, it would
not have been permitted to become
SO delapidated.

ZERO HOUR NEARS
in MEDITERRANEAN
Italians Trying to Cheer
Selves With Lampedusa
RepulsiOn Assertions
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press Staff Correspondent

London, June 9-CUP)-The at
moSphere of expectancy mounted
steadily in London today as the
opening of the Allied drive across
the Mediterranean was awaited.
Prime Minister Churchill's ad-
dress yesterday suggested what al
ready was obvious that the Allies
are going to strike from more than
one point along the 3000-mile
shoreline of Africa on which their
troops are stationed for battle.
The Italians frantically are try
ing to cheer themselves with as
sertions that the INITIAL Island as
Sault against Lampedusa has been
repulSed.
North Africa is bristling with
planes, men and ships ready for at
lacking Sicily while the whole tip
of Tunisia has been transformed
into an amphibiouS springboard.
Farther east the Allies intentions
are cloaked in the deepest military
secrecy but revealing report from
United Press Correspondent Richard
B. Mcmillan indicated that the for
gotten ninth and tenth armies as
we'll as American and French forces
are ready to shove off against the
Dodecanese Islands, Greek Arch
ipelago and the Balkans.
Allied strength obviously is grow
ing by massive strides. The reflects
several factors:
/. Bleeding of Nazi military
strength in Russia and Tunisa at a
rate far greater than the German
army can replace men, materials
and planes.
2. Huge American production Of
war materials, which now are reach
ing all fronts in quantities vastly
greater than six months ago.
8. The reversal in the battle OF the
Atlantic where, during the last six
weeks, the Allies have been trans
forming the ocean into something
rapidly resembling an Anglo Amer
lean Lake.
In view of this combination OF
factors it is not surprising that the
Axis has been put on notice by
Churchill that any attempt TO get
out of the War--such as suing for
an Armistice will be rejected until
Germany and Italy resoundingly are
trounced.

Canada's Grim Will For Victory
Backs democratic Dictatorship"
BY MARGUERITE YOUNG
NEA staff CORRESPONDENT

Ottawa, June 9-"Public response
to our manpower regulations, which
I'll admit are drastic, show how
completely Canadians are in this
war heart and SOUL" said Labor
Minister Humphrey Mitchell
why should voluntary compli-
ances surprise anyone?" he asked.
Just lately was in England. and
I saw that Labor Minister Bevin
has just as much power there as
I have here. maybe little more.
Yet Bevin gets about 95 per cent
voluntary compliance, as we do.
THE compelling force behind
us is Dunkirk, the blitz, Dieppe,
and Pearl Harbor.'
He said the fundamental pat
ten of Canadian manpower con-
trolls is similar to Britains, but
some features and the form
they're applied in are homemade
to fit the character and mood of
Canadians. He cited these impor-
tant administrative points: the
Capitalization of all control of
both the military Gallup and Of
civilian manpoWer in one gov
eminent department.; building
machine to do the job before
starting large scale operations; and
loading the machine gradually.
ALIENS WORK FIELDS
Policies he thought revolutionary
and successful: Canada's work-per.
nit system and advertising controls
which he asserted absolutely stop
ped poaching, or piracy, as you call
it." transfer of $4,000 Japanese
aliens from the West Coast to beet
fields, which they work; and special
permits which move labor back and
forth between farms and logging -
practically eliminating offseason
sitting around" for around 100000
workmen.
CanadaS manpoWer does turn
out plenty. This dominion, small
in population, is the fourth largest
source of United Nations war sup
plies. The munitions industry hit a
peak production rate of $3,700,000.-
900 this year, an increase of 1T per
cent over 1941 production. The 1912
wheat crop was the biggest ever
produced here. One weeks ship
ments Of bacon and pork now equal
a years exports of decade ago.
PUBLIC IS COOPERATIVE
The man on the street and his
priest bear out Minister Mitchell
on the Importance of war feeling
and United Nations sentiment.
They all proudly fish out their
many papers ard enumerate their
trips to the Selective Service to
register, to report, to register
again for something different, as
if those were just a matter of
course the natural, necessary
way to winning.

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW

There are joys and there sorrows
In this wonderful world of ours;
There todays and tomorrows
And many garden full of flowers.
Just now the sun is shining
And 1t is shining very bright;
II shines upon the mountain top
And all around from morn till night
1t shines upon the good and also on the bad,
1t makes the beautiful gardens grow
And then we're very glad,
Glad to the sunshine and feel the bree2es blow.
But there always gloomy shadows,
Where the great big may shine.
Where all is dark throughout the ages
But the shadows pass away and everything is fine,
So let us be content with life Just as 1t is
And always watch out for the sunshine
1t will come along some other glorious day
After night and darkness all have passed away.

But this years bride has to cut down on the eats,
Her dress and veil, however, are just as long,
Someone sings that Promise Me Song.
