Civic Club Members Back
Movement To Take In
New Territory

Strong sentiment in favor of the
proposed extension of Wilmington
city limits was expressed last
night at a meeting of the Com
munity Council by members OF
local civic bodies.
The expansion, which has been
proposed by, the City Planning
board, would incorporate Green
brook, Princess Place, Chestnut
Heights, Kenwood, Brookwood,
Mercer Place, Forest Hills, Co.
lonial Village, Longwood, High
wood Park, Glen Arden, Oleander,
and Country Club Pines into the
city of Wilmington. $685.,
Speaking for the Kiwanis club,
H. R. Emory, who also is chair
man of the planning board, re.
ported that Kiwanis members were
definitely in favor of the expan-
sion plan. He said many city or
CARNATIONS were showing extreme
interest in the plan and that a
good bit of sentiment also was be-
ing expressed in favor of the in
corporation of Sunset Park, but,
said Emory, if this area were TAX
en- into the city, the city would
realize small net annual loss,
while on the other hand, the sec
lions now included in the pro-
posal would bring the city profit.
w. E. Yopp, representing the
Lions Club, said that organization
would heartily endorse the. pro-
posal.
J. Fred Rippy, secretary of the
planning board, following the ex-
pansion discussion, submitted a
QUESTIONABLE prepared by the
board of projects falling within
the scope of the planning board.
Members of the council were ask
ed to list, according to Importance,
the projects which in their opin-
ion should be planned in the fu-
ture. Among the listed projects
was consideration of construction
of a city auditorium, which met
with almost unanimous approval
by council members.
Representatives of other civic
organizations who spoke in favo-
of the city expansion plan includ-
ed w. A. Raney of the Civitan
club, Mrs. Lewis Bright and Miss
Dorothy O.. Forbes Of the North
Carolina Junior Sorosis, Jennie
D. Stout of the Business and Pro-
fession Woman's club. N. L. Foy

It was the last act of the spec.
tacular American drive which be-
gan on June ID, smashed bittSr
German opposition, sheared off the
Cherbourg peninsula from the gest
of France, and finally isolatedSthe
great seaport.
Unofficial reports reaching here
shortly after 8 am. said the AM
erican assault troops had '~sShed
to the sea both east and west OF
Cherbourg. Exact locations were
not given, and headquarters had
no official confirm ation, but it was
said this development was regard
ed as likely.
With an air of expectant con-
servatism, the Allied midnight
communique dealt with the battle
only in vague, guarded terms, and
then turned to an account of
Thursdays widespread aerial OPP
erations.
In them there was more than a
hint that the Germans were re-
signed to Cherbourg's loss and
were preparing for the next and
greater phase of the invasion, for
the communique said Allied planes

Such endorsements, coming up
from 100 miles and more from the
beachhead, could be the strategic
reserves which the German COM
mand thus far has hesitated to
commit to battle. They could not
now relieve Cherbourg, whose gar
rison is doomed and dying.

believed to be in embattled Cher

groups was there any possibility
of escape.
Cherbourg already was caught
up in confused swirl of close
quarter combat, with doughboys
and Germans fighting through the
suburban streets and houses.

the American onslaught, which
started with stop-watch precision

Membership of the panel has
been doubled and four new men
will aid the original members in
their work on the panel, which
has been broken down by COM
modities into four divisions: food,
durable goods and services, wear
ing apparel and restaurants. Each
division will be stated by two
men, a chairman and assistant,
with Ii divisions united under one
general chairman.
The enlargement and division of
the original price panel was neces-
STATED by an increase in work done
by the board which under the orlgl-
nal set-up made it a difficult and
slow process. Division of the origi-
nal panel provides each section
with some specific phase OF price
panel work and will facilitate more
thorough discussion of the cases
and enable the board to go more
thoroughly into disposition OF cases
brought before it.
In charge of the various divisions
are: Foods, Kyle Bannerrnan,
chairman, and L. L. Mills; Durable

LOCOMOTIVES BEAT
ROUNDUP PAINTERS
WITH 2I-TO0 SCORE
Is LaureI's Third Victory In
Four Games-Op
Teams Evenly Matched

The Locomotive football squad de
feated the Roundup Panthers Fl tt
0 Friday, Oct. 6, on the Laurel field
1t was the third victory in foul
games this year for Laurel while
Roundup had previously defeated
Klein but lost to Harlowton.
The Purple and Gold squad was
extended all the way to gain it's
victory and the score does not in
dictate how evenly matched the
teams were. In the second quar-
ter the Roundup team drove to the
vineyard line, and on the last play
of the game Nicholson Panther,
right end, dropped a short pass
over his goal line. Laurel failed
only once to capitalize on it's scor-
ing opportunities when their attack
stalled on the courtyard line in the
third quarter.
Laurel kicked off to start the
game and Roundup marched to mid
field before Jim Sherrow intercept
ed a pass to end a scoring threat.
From the 50-yard line Jim Whitson
and George Harper advanced the
ball to the 25-yard line, from where
Whitson went over his right tackle,
cut back to his left and crossed the
Panthers' goal line standing up. Don
Fellows successfully kicked goal.
Roundup again received the kickoff
and made four straight first downs
to midfield where George Harper
intercepted a pass which he ran
back to the Panther 35-yard line.
Harper pounded to the opponents
10-yard stripe on three plays, and
then Whitson went around his left
end for the second touchdown of
the first quarter. Don Fellows
again converted by placekick. Score:
Laurel ID, Roundup 0.
The miners seriously threatened
N the second quarter when they
made a first down on the Laurel
,ive-yard line. Here the Laurel for
ward line of Renner, Meyers, Lack
nan, Rosselot and Kimberley pre-
ented a stone wall and stopped the
hreat n yard short of a touch
lown. Laurel received the second
lalf kickoff and marched to the
'anthers' four-yard line before sur
endering the ball. Bryhta punted
ut to Whitson at midfield and the
locomotives started another march.
'aurel drew a holding penalty which
ct them back to their 40-yard line.
ERE Harper went around right end
'om punt formation to the oppon-
nts' 25-yard line. The Roundup
ne stiffened and on fourth down
tossed a pass which fell
1ort of the receiver. In the last
uarter Harper intercepted two
lore passes which stopped scoring
treats and batted another to the
round in the end zone Midway

Cured Tops VS..
Sliced Tops
Getting the beets out is Job No. 1 !

Getting the beets out is Job Nc. 1
At the same time, where labor and planning
make it possible, farmers are not overlooking con-
servation of their beet tops.
Cured dry tops are good feed and beet top
silage is worth nearly SO per cent more than
cured dry tops. Jack Maynard makes the follow
ing analysis:
with corn at $500 per cwt. and alfalfa hay
at $1,000 per ton, cured dry tops from this
100 tons of beets would have had a replace
ment value of $212.O0. What would the sliced
tops from these same beets have been worth?
A recent statement from the Colorado Agri-
beet top Silage fed in their experiments to fat
tening cattle had 111% the feeding value of
corn silage. When corn silage is added to al
falfa hay in a fattening ration, it is generally
conceded to have about 12 the value of alfalfa
hay, or when alfalfa is worth $1,000 per ton,
corn Silage is considered to be worth about
$500 per ton. With $1,000 hay then, beet top
silage would be worth 1888 per ton or tops
from 100 tons of beets in the form of silage
on the basis of former estimates of produc-
ton, should be worth S417.36, nearly twice
the value of cured dried tops: Even with a
conservative estimate of only 35 tons of beet
top silage per 100 tons of beets, tops in the
form of silage would be worth S31O.SO or
nearly 500 more than cured dry tops"
