be on the way before these lines go to press, but at the
time of writing there was no information relative to
the time of starting or where it will start, except that
observers believe Norway will be the scene of action.
Be that as it may, the fact remains that Adolf not
only has his hands full on the eastern front, but signs
are growing that all is not well at home and it is a
certainty that strong American forces are not in Eng­

TURNING POINT MAY BE NEAR
J^EWS dispatches earlier in the week indicated that
the Allied Nations are beginning to get some of the
breaks in the present rough and tumble conflict scat­

news came from Japan, where American bombers paid
a social call (the Japs are trying vainly to find out
where they came from), and from the western front
where one Mr. Schicklgruber is suffering from the
jitters over the advent of numbers of American troops.
It is stated that 15 divisions of nazi troops slated to re

OLDER BOYS WILL REGISTER
2^£0NDAY-, April 27, is the day set aside by the gov-
x ernment for men in the older brackets to register
for selective service. As in the case of the younger
men, there is no loophole for evading registration.
Every citizen coming under the prescribed age must
sign up. It will remain with the draft board to deter­
mine those fit for service, so regardless of your physi­
cal condition, get to the registration headquarters and
place your name on the dotted line.
The strategy board has outlined plans for develop-
men. To do this, many men now working in defense
ing an army of 8,000,000, or even 10,000,000 fighting
plants will be withdrawn for active military duty.
Their places must be filled in order to keep military
supplies rolling. This means that millions of men now
employed in pursuits other than defense industries, or
not employed at all, will have to take up the burden of
keeping supplies moving to our armed forces and to
our allies. The task will become greater as the armed
forces increase, so there is no escape for those able to
fill such jobs. Every man between the ages of 21 and 65
will be signed up for the duration and the prospect
looks good for every able bodied man between those
ages to be doing his part wherever officials see fit to
place him.
