Little Change In Battle Pictures Reported In War
There was little change Monday in the war picture with air battles over Europe and heavy losses for the Allies while Germans lost more. Allies used flame throwers and tanks to seize six more villages in Italy amid fierce resistance and heavy casualties on both sides. The Japs made headway against the Chinese, despite claims of the Chinese side, with the invasion still in the background. Sextons stood by for church bells but none rang yet. Local notes mention Mr and Mrs John Marak shopping in Cameron and Mrs Jessie Kirk recovering after an operation in Newton Memorial Hospital.
