A GLIMMERING of what battle really means is given to folk at home
by these action plvotos of a two-day attack by American forces on Axis
troops defending the central Tunisian town of Sened. The action was
fast and furious in the struggle for the railway town as the Nazis sent
their planes over in a strafing attack, top. hi an effort to halt the advanc-
ing Yanks. Note how veiiicles, men and anti-aircraft guns are
j scattered to lighten casualties. There were some, however. like the
j wounded half-track gunner, lower left, who is being given a sulfa tablet
by a medical corps man. One of the medical cal’s can be seen hurrying

successful American attack faulted in capture of Sened and a consider-

view of creating the best possible i

The speaker readily demonstrat-

through actual experience and
careful study and gave a suggest-
ed outline on procedure that could
be used to advantage by employers;
or their managers.
1. Be fair in all dealings, as fair- j
ness is the key to human relation-
ship.
2. Be human, in order to
close personal contacts.
3. Give responsibility, as that is a
challenge for super-service.

further informed.
The fact that Cuero’s population
has been increased by approximate-
ly 2,000 persons since December of
1941. the month which guages pres-
ent sales, and the further fact that
Cuero’s largest market, the Boh no
Market, which handled some 180*000
pounds of meat annually, is now
closed, may have some bearing on
the request that quotas here be in-
creased. OPA authorities in San

ed out, is a problem which many
cities of the nation ore now facing
