vigorous attacks without loss.
They raised to 1,500 the number
of individual sorties they have
flown against the same targets.
Tonight the German long wave
radio left the air abruptly, posi-
bly, signaling a new attack on the
continent by the Raj.
In the morning alone, $50 Brit
ism and American medium bomb
ers, including 200 Marauders, with
300 fighters, struck the French
coast and in the afternoon 500
more bombers and fighters cross
ed the Channel to continue the as
sault.
The army did not specify the
heavy bomber target, but said the
escorting fighters made one OF
their deepest penetrations into
northwest Germany. This would
mean the target was at least as
distant as Kiel about 1000 miles

by escorted formations last Dec.

JAYCEES PRAISE
RATION BOARDS

The fact that price control, the
result in part of the functioning
Of the. local ration boards, has
saved every member of every I'm
erican family from $180 to $3.50 in
living costs, and $3.50 in war debts
and taxes, was stressed at the reg
ular meeting of the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce Tuesday, when
members gave a formal vote of
appreciation for the services rend-
cred by officials Of the ration
board to the community. Continu-
ed cooperation with the efforts OF
the board was pledged by the
members.
Reference was made to Hold
ing the Home Front in S42-44,"
a recent OPA report endorsing
the work of the ration boards.
Among the favorable facts stress
ed by the report is the point that
"a, 231, 900 out of 9,49O, 900 cars are
still doing their war jobs, despite
the scarcity of tires and gasoline.
Because buses and trains can car
ry only Is percent of the war work
ers throughout the country to their
jobs, private conveyances must
carry IS per cent of the load.
The considerable savings for in
djviduals which have been effect
ed through the functioning Of the
ration boards, and through volun-
tary savings by citizens, may be
seen from the following chart:
