Ground School Coming Up
The first real encouragement
on the oft-mentioned ground
school proposition came Friday
night with the visit of Ground
Instructor King of Texas Tech.
King offered to start our
ground school off coming up one
night a week until we can get a
local instructor rated.
One candidate for the job (and
a ground school instructors' rat-
ing is something worth having
these days' is Miss Black, science
teacher in the Borger high school.
Miss Black has taught meteorol-

further ratings. Anyway it goes,

Santa’s helpers, that’s what
these S. A. L. boys are. They’re
doing everything they can to
bring every unused but good toy
in Borger and Phillips to the light
so they can prepare it for Christ-

The Hutchinson county Red
Cross chapter will take care of
the distribution of the toys. Par-

He says he believes that more
soldiers frequent the USO now
than they did when it was first
opened in Kl Paso about three
months ago. Also, that they didn’t
just come there when they were
“broke”; that they really enjoyed
coming there. He further added,
that he thought more and more
service men were taking advan-
tage of the services offered as time
passed.
“The USO makes the boys feel
more at home and keeps them
from just loafing around on the
streets and in the less-reputable
places where they might be in-
voked in some sort of trouble,”
he added.

NFW YORK, Dec. 6 — (JF)—
Mrs. Tommy Manville No. 5 —
the former Bonita Edwards,
showgirl — entrained for Reno
today where she said she planned
to seek a divorce from her hus-
band of 18 days, the playboy as-
bestos heir.
Manville, 47, was at Grand
Central terminal to see his 22-
year-old “Bonnie” off, but there
was no parting kiss. Mrs. Manville
declined.
”Im still mystified,” said Man-
ville. “I don’t know how it hap-
pened or why it happened.”

cally.”
“It would be dangerous to
think that the United States still
is sticking to its former appease-
ment policy,” he said.
Taking much the same line,
the newspaper Kokumin declar-
ed that in the event of "Ameri-
can aggression a billion people
of East Asia would become
bombs" against the United Stat-
es and Britain.
It was divulged during the day,
which brought ominous new de-
velopments in the Pacific crisis,
that certain attaches of the Japa-
nese embassy at Washington had
been recalled, but reasons for the
move'were not specified.
At the same time Nippon Yu-
sen Kaisha, the big Japanese
steamship company, called home
equally without explanation the
chiefs of its Bombay and Singa-
pore offices.
There were voiced, however,
assertions that a settlement of
the Pacific problems by means
short of war might yet be reach-
ed. Among those so speaking, 88-
year-old Count Kentaro Kaneko,
member of the Privy Council,
urged new efforts for a solution
through appointment of a special
Japanese-American commission to
examine the whole question.
Most newspapers took the view
that the next move was up to
Washington, and thu Japan should
stand pat and await it.
I miles northwest ot Moscow, were
holding the Nazis near Klin, 50
miles northwest of the capital, and
were moving into German defen-
1 ses around Tikhvin, 110 miles
southeast of Leningrad.
The German story of the bitter j
fighting for possession of the
Donets basin was that continued j
I Russian attacks were being held j
i-wjjh /rightful slaughter. In that
sector, as along the whole Rus-
sian front, tough Soviet ski
troops slid over the snows to get
at the Germans.
uemocracy and freedom.”
He went on to explain that the
“lost” generation had changed its
mind in the past few years as the
present crisis grew. Today it is
proven that democracy is the right
wav and force the wrong way, he
added.
"It’s up to you to make a good
A squad in the future wrld,”
Nicklaus warned. "We’ve got to
win this war and you boys play
a vital part. It will take sacri-
fice in time, money and effort
if you want to keep the things
for which we are now thankful,”
he concluded.
Phillips put the defense idea in-
to a concrete example, saying that
the meat in the meal the boys
had just consumed was more than
many children in France had in
a week’s time.
The carriers pledged them-
selves to carry on the stamp sales
and received instructions and of-
ficial badges from Rempel.
So, these boys are now doing
their part in national defense even
though they are too young to add
to the actual man-power strength
82,000 in south Indo-Cljuna, 25,000
in the north, and on ships and
harbors in Indo-China 18,000,
which is a total of 125,000
These 18,000 troops are report-
ed to be on 21 transports in Cam-
ranh Bay. Other reports have
reached the department indicating
that two large and heavily-escort-
ed Japanese convoys were seen
this morning, the sixth of Dec-
ember. to the southeast of Point
de Cameau, the southern point oi
Indo-China, steering westward
toward the Gulf of Siam (Thai-
land).
It had become apparent ear.
lier that officials here were
completely unimpressed by
Tokyo's explanation oi the troop
concentrations.

★ YOUR BANK
£
§ How to Fill Out a
Deposit Slip
1. Print your name at the top of the slip to
safeguard your banking signature.
2. Write figures clearly.
3. List each check separately and opposite
each amount write the transit number of
the bank (which is found after the name of
the bank on the check). This number iden-
tifies the bank on which the check is drawn
and is useful in case of loss.
4. Be certain the totals are correct.
5. If you make a mistake destroy the slip.
Depositors should not request the teller to
make out their deposit slips but should make
them out themselves, first, for the protection
of both the depositor and the bank in case of
an error in the handling of the deposit, and
second, to be fair to the other depositors wait-
ing in line at the teller's window.
