Appeal is Made for
Paper on West Main
And North Houston
This appeal »s issued to people who
live on North Houston and West Main
streets in Cameron.
It has to do with the waste paper
] drive, now the most vital need of the
1 war effort. Paper is the most eriti-
: cal item needed among the materials
vital to prosecution of th° war.
•John Jeter end Bert Nicholson of
the Lions Club have asked the Herald
! to appeal to the people !n this area.
They proposed a paid advertisement
in the Daily Herald but the publisher
wished to aid the scrap paper drive
and volunteered to make this appeal.
During recent days only a small
amount of paper has been collected
on these streets. Remember that
collection day is Wednesday. Please
try to have your waste paper tied up
and laid out for their track next
Wednesday.
Among our citizens no one aas
worked narder or with greater sacri-
fice than members of the Lions Club.
Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Jeter are giv-
ing their time, have been assigned
the territory of West Main and North
Houston streets. They want to suc-
ceed but they cannot bring in vital
war materials like paper unless you
do your part. Remember give these
young men a large number of bundles
of paper on North Houston and West
Main next Wednesday.
United States Marines and infan-
try units of the army have invaded
Palau and Morotai islands in the Pa-
cific to narrow the circle into which
the Japs have been caught.
General Douglas MacArthur who
followed the men on to the island of
Morotai said that Japan now faces
defeat. His army and naval units
are within 300 miles of the Philip-
pines.
The landings were made with
powerful naval units blasting the
islands off shore.
Fighting was in progress on the
islands which have been under heavy
air attack for weeks.
The invasion climaxes a four day
victory, the heaviest yet scored
against Japanese shipping and air-
power.
It was disclosed from the head-
quarters of Admiral Nimitz in Pearl
Harbor that the Americans have sunk
173 enemy ships and shot down or
destroyed 501 air planes in the past
four days.
The task force under Admiral Hal-
sey scored the sea victory said to have
been more diastrous for the Japs
than the great battle of Midway.
The Americans were hitting ihe
Japs with such force that on the last
day of the battle the Japs refused
combat and only feeble attempts were
made by the ground guns of the
enemy to stop the American airmen.
It was disclosed that the attacks
oecured on September 8, 10 and 11
and 12.
Although the Japanese navy is
within striking distance of the fleet
which Admiral Halsey commands no
attempt was made to fight back.
There were no ship losses whatever.
