Ine building OF Jalna, by
Mazo de la Roche Little, Brown;
$3.50.
It would be nice to know how
much of Mazo de la Roche's Jalna
story was the result Of long-term
plan, and how much of it simply
grew that way. When Miss de la
Roche published "Jalna'' in 1927
the book was winner Of an impor-
tant prize, and was also a COM
merclal success. It's my impress
sion that the author never intend
ed to do nine books on the same
people. but that public demand and
commercial possibilities dictated
that course.
What is SO remarkable about the
Jalna books, ninth of which Is
The Building of Jalna," is Miss
de la Roche's continued interest
in her fictional people. Her pub
Usher compares her to Trollope
and although her style and his are
antipodal, there is some VALIDITY
IN the comparison. Even after nine
books, this remarkable Canadian
views her creations warmly and
treats them generously. This time
she has gone farther into the past
than ever, in order to describe the
founding Of the Whiteoaks clan in

Three changes in the ceiling
price regulations for beer that
were effected by an amendment

The amendment provides that
Supreme and Nectar beers are en-

ing seven-ounce bottles, be calcu-
lated by multiplying the number

"A RATION BOOKS
STILL HELD UP

The New Hanover War Price
and Ration board Thursday still
had no definite plans for the in
suance of the "a" gasoline ration
books, but one thing was certain,
that the books would not be dis
tributed from the rationing office.
Throughout the morning the
rationing office was pied with
inquiries as to how the books
could be obtained, as result OF
an announcement by the Raleigh
District OPA director that appli-
cation by mail to the rationing
board could be made.
Rationing officials issued a for
NAL statement:
1--WE have $4,000 new '.A'' books
on hand, as well as applications,
but each rationing board controls
the method it is to pursue in the
issuing of books, and our program
is in the making. It will be com.
pleted and announced to the pub
lie in few days by radio and the
press. Until an announcement is
made, please don't ask for appIi-
cations, and do not mail them
to the rationing office, as the
books will not be issued from the
board office.
New "A" books are not valid
until Nov. 9, and we W. do our
utmost to see that each applicant
receives his book before that
date"

The Decision At Aachen

Hitler's decision at Aachen, made through
his officers, apparently established the policy
of Nazi resistance on which the war in Ger
objective is to be defended to the last with
slaughter and destruction as the price for de-
laying the inevitable.
And his decision shows that Hitler has mis-
judged the Americans again. He did it in
1888 when, as DR.. Hermann Rauschning testi-
fled at the Washington sedition trial, he count
ed on being able to engineer an American
Britain in war against Germany. He still bank
ed on disunity and the Japs to keep us out
Of Europe after Pearl Harbor
At Aachen he seemed to think that the
Americans, whom he advertises to his people
as Yankee barbarians." would be too soft
hearted, or too weak in strength and purpose.
to go through with their ultimatum. Again he
was wrong
The Americans took no joy in destroying
much of the city of Charlemagne. They gave
the enemy chance to withdraw from and
preserve the city and its cultural monu-
ments, over which Dr. Goebbels has already
Wept SO much.
But it so happens that Aachen, besides be-
ing the city of Charlemagne, is also the front
door to Cologne and the first stop in Germany
On the highroad to Berlin The choice was for
Germans, not Americans, to make
But if Hitler thinks that he can try to make
