WAR BONDS
The Army's fighter planes are the
finest in the world and develop
speeds up to 400 miles an hour.
They cost approximately $100,000
each, provide fighter escorts for the
huge flying fortresses, and combine
speed, range, altitude and blistering
fire power.
America's plane production plants
are working over-time turning out
thousands of these fighter planes.
War Savings Bonds will help pay
for them and the American people
are oommitted to at least ten per-
cent of their income to finance their
cost in War Bonds. Every Ameri-
can, buying his share every pay day,
will make it comparatively easy to
supply our army and navy air corps
with these supreme Eagles of the air

New Instructions
For Fighting Fire
Bomb Being Given
c
New instructions in fighting
fire bombs have been announc-
ed as a result of extensive re-
search by technicians in the
United States and England, it
is reported by Marvin Hall,
State Fire Defense Coordina-
tor.
In a communication to Fire
Chief W. E. Lett Mr. Hall stat-
ed, "All civilians should be-
come familiar with the new
and safer method of fighting
incendiary bombs, described in
the latest instructions released
by OCD. These are the result
of extensive experiments by
OCD technicians and the Chem-
ical Warfare Service of the U.
S. Army. The new method has
already been adopted in Eng-
land and New Zealand."
Chief Lott said that the most
important change in technique
is that which calls for the use
of a jet of water instead of a
spray. A speedy attack on the
bomb with a jet of water will
knock the bomb out in less
than one minute, thus saving
valuable time which can be
used in attacking other bombs
nearby before they can start
serious fire;:. Sand is not to be
used except where water is
not available or where the
glare of the bomb can be seer
by r*remy flyers, he said.
Briefly the latest instructions
are:
1. Bring your fire fighting
equipment to the scene at
once.
2. Shoot a stream of water
directly at the bomb without
delay, to put it out of action
quickly.
3. Then use the jet quickly,
to quench the fragments and
the remains of the bombs, and
any fires that might have been
started.
Be absolutely sure all the fire
is out before you leave the
scene
Use a course spray only where
scattering of metal must be
avoided.
6. Use sand only if a bomb
falls where it is not likely to
start a fire, or if water is not
available.
Chief Lott pointed out that
the desirable jet of water can
be obtained from a garden
hose, any type of wafer fire
extinguisher, a pump-tai ik ex-
tinguisher, or a stirup p amp.
THREE MILLION PAIRS OF BOOTS and 500,000 blankets are among the items made in Britain and
sent to Russia. Eighty per cent of Britain's war production goes to battlefields abroad. Much of it goes
to Russia—including planes, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, ammunition, and radio equipment—in large con-
voys which have battled their way through by Arctic routes despite storms, ice, U-boats and enemy
bombers. Fifty British-made tanks are being sent each week, and 111 airplanes for every hundred that were
promised to Russia.
In addition, British railways have sent 142 locomotives and 1.000 freight cars to carry goods to
Russia over the railway across Persia. In Persia, a British-sponsored non-profit organization has built
special assembly plants which, by last January, were assembling trucks at the rate of 200 per month.
This picture shows one convoy of these trucks winding its way up a Persian river valley on its 8-day
journey northward to Russia, loaded with Allied supplies.

cost from $12 to $18 and are made of;
horsehide leather lined with sheep
shearling.
Purchase of one $18.75 War Bond,
for which you receive $25 in 10
years, will pay for one of these jack-
ets so necessary for our airmen fly-
ing at high altitudes and in northern
climes. So you and your neighbors
can do your bit by investing at least
10 percent of your salary every pay
day in War Bonds to help pay the
cost of this equipment for intrepid
American flyers. Join the parade,

Funeral Friday
At New Hope for
Mrs. W. J. Head
Funeral services were held
at New Hope Friday morning
for Mrs. W. J. Head, 68, who
passed away Thursday after-
noon at her home in 'that com-
munity. Rev. Mouzon Fletcher
conducted the service. Inter-
ment was in New Hope Ceme-
tery under the direction of the
English Funeral Home.
Mrs. Head was born on Au-
gust 29 1874, in Randolph, Bibb
County, Alabama. She was mar-
ried to C. T. Dalby in Long-
viev. on December 4, 1892. To
this marriage was born two
children. Mr. Dalby passed
away in 1904.
In 1908 she was married to
Mr. Head of the New Hope
community and they made their
home in that community since
that time. They were the par-
ents of five children, three of
whom survive.
Survivors include her hus-
band, three sons, Walter Dalby
of Fort Worth John Head of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and
Dewey Head of Mineola; two
daughters, Mrs Bessie Maclin
of Fort Worth, and Mrs. Jewel
Plunk of Mineola; ten grand-
children; a brother, Ed Ful-
ghum of Mineola and two sis-
ters, Mrs. J. C. Parker of Wichita
Falls, and Mrs. Lula Floyd of
Mineola Route 2.
Tirs. Head joined the Bap-
tist church when she was sev-
enteen years of age, and later
joined the Smith Chapel Meth-
odist church where she has
been a member for the past
thirty years.
Washington. — The Supreme
Court refused Friday to let
the alleged Nazi saboteurs es-
cape military judgment by tak-
ing refuge in the civil courts
and in the civil liberties es-
tablished for this nation's loyal
citizens.
In a four-minute session it
upheld the legality of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's orders that
they be tried by a military com-
mission. Asserting their deten-
tion by the Army was lawful,
it refused to free them by is-
suing a writ of habeas corpus.
The court asserted its au-
thority to pass on this appli-
cation of the President's war-
time powers and assumed juris-
diction over the case, an action
which many interpreted as the
court's way of saying that war
or no war the protection of
the courts is still open to all
who may rightfully claim &
haven in them.
The result of the ruling is
that the military commission,
is free to proceed with its
trial of the men and that unless
reversed by the President him-
self. the sentence which the
commission imposes will stand.
