Tunisiar, Battlefront

Although tropical sunshine had
dried the surface of Tunisia's boggy
roads, the gumbo mud continued to
hamper free movement of either
the Allied or Axis forces. Princi-
pal strategic key was the town of
Bedjez ell Bah, where General
Dwight Eisenhower's army was en-
deavoring to anchor its positions
for the coming all-out offensive
against strongly held Tunis and
Bizerte. That these positions could
not be won without fierce struggles
was indicated by reports that the
Allied forces had withdrawn from
an advanced hill six miles north
east of Medjez-el-Bab.
Air offensives continued against
Axis bases in Tunisia and Axis
supply lines from Sicily and Italy
with Flying Fortresses battering
Sousse, Tunis and Bizerte.
French forces under General
Giraud had carried out aggressive
action along the "waist" of Tunisia,
taking the town of Pichon and ad-
vancing in a drive to prevent the
effective junction of Marshal ROM
mel's Libyan forces with those of
General Walther Nehring in Tu-
nisia.

Meanwhile the Red encirclement
of 22 German divisions trapped be-
fore Stalingrad was frightened by
Russ advances of from 81 to s
miles from the southwest.

Company To Loan
Pressure Gamers

Fifty new victory model steam pres
sure Gamers for free loan to it's Gus
toners have just been purchased by
the Minnesota Power & Light Com
pany and families in this area who do
not have one for their canning needs
may borrow one by contracting the
company's office at Sandstone.
Superintendent Ben Hedlund said
that the company is exceedingly in
terested in protecting the food supply
of this area. "We urged victory gar
dens last spring." he said, "and now
we hope that every family will pre-
serve enough food to carry through
until next season. This will aid the
war effort and encourage our fighting
men,"
The company had considerable diff.
ficulty in obtaining the Gamers as the
supply is very much curtailed.

Nourse Returns
From S. F. Farley

Returning from a conference of
regional and divisional managers
of U. s. treasury victory fund COM
mittee, held at San Francisco. S.
A. Nourse. divisional manager for
southwestern Washington, reported
Wednesday final results of the VIC
tory Fund campaign at end of
December indicated an over-sub-
scription of close to three billion
dollars.
Sales in the seven western states,
composing the 18th federal reserve
district, also exceeded all pre-cam-
paign estimates, amounting to over
S730,o00,000.
Uncle Sam really landed solid
punch on the financial front of the
war in the December campaign"
Nourse said. THE American in
weston seemed determined to make
up for some of the 'too-little' and
'too-late' of the early months of
the war, and the dollars are begin
ming to roll for Victory with a ven-
geance."
Victory Loan drive No. l was
prodigious achievement, reserve Of
ficials in San Francisco declared.
Not only was the amount of over
subscription very satisfying, but
the fact that large portion of the
money was derived from non-bank-
ing sources, was the occasion for
particular qualification. 1t was
pointed out by Nourse that money
siphoned into the war effort di-
rectly from the investor, rather
than through the banks, consti-
tutes one of the best restraints on
war initiation.
