CHALLENGED in tivo hemisphere?, America faces a tremendous test. But the hoiuhcrs that will hlot out the Rising Sun and smash the Swastika are pouring off our production lines. The highest industrial job in all history is being done because America has the electric POJVEIl for the job! The electric industry was ready when the crisis came. The business men who manage the nation's electric com panies had built up power reserves in advance. They were ready, too, to meet new demands wiih new construction. They added enough power in 1911 to light one-fourth of all the nations homes. We're glad thai the electric industry has been able to help make Uncle Sam so pouer fid.

McMILLAN (Copyright 1942 by United Press) In the British Front Lines South of El Alamein, July 5. 3 A.M. (UP) The New Zealanders went out hunting again with their bay onets during the night. Troops of an Italian division, backed up by artillery and German and Italian tanks.were holding a strong ridge which runs parallel to the Coastal Road, about eight miles inland. Imperial artillery and planes opened a bombardment on the ridge. Tanks edged around the flanks of the Axis positions. About 9 P. M. the New Zealand ers went in with the bayonet. They stormed the edge of the ridge, bay onetted many Italians and con tinued westward on the ridge top. The British now hold the ridge. The new Zealanders made many widows for Mussolini to decorate, captured 16 Italian and 10 German tanks, and won positions which dom inate the country all round. Crews of most of the tanks sur rendered without much of a fight and so did the crews of a number of German and Italian guns, includ ing the" S8-milliineter anti-tank guns which have caused the imper ials so much trouble. As the result of this and similar counter-attacks .many, many hun dreds of Axis prisoners have come through the imperial lines and the situation continues to show improvement. I lie Axis forces are expected to receive reinforcements and the battle till is in the balance, .but Axis prisoners are tired and thirsty and the British appear to hold firm con- to ! trol of the air. A British soldier who had escap ed from the Germans after being made prisoner told me: 'I saw some of that RAF bomb ing. It wasn't just a business of dropping bombs. They are attackink all night long at low level, even the bombing planes. I was out there ly ing holes beside the Germans. They shivered as much as I did; in fact, they are squealing rather loudly." French Workers to Germany VICHY, July 7, (UP) Chief of Government Pierre Laval has made special arrangements so factories in France may shut down and their en tire personnel sent to Germany as units under a volunteer labor re cruiting campaign, it was revealed today. Factory staffs from directors and foreman to ordinary workers would be assigned as units to German fac tories to be designated before they leave France, it was said. Laval said the idea was not to help Germany win the war but to effect the release of war prisoners who would be trad ed for the workers. The Lucky Star girls met last Tuesday at the home of Shirley Olsen and reported on the dish which they had cooked during the week. Shirley Olsen and Petty Biart demonstrated correct table setting. The next meeting will be Wednesday July 15 at 2 p. m. at the home of Cornelia Buller. Billions for Allied victory ... or for tribute to dictators? There is only one answer: Buy U. S. Defense Ecnds and Stamps. VICTORY GIRLS 4-H CLUB Try for Larger Oil Stores LINCOLN, July 7, (UP) Anoth er attempt will be made to obtain an increase in .Nebraska s oil pro duction quota when J. T. Ainlay of the motor fuels division attends the national conference of petroleum regulatory authorities in Washing ton. , Ainley leaves tonight and will ask for an increase from the July quota of 4,000 barrels daily production. His contention will be that the state has refinery capacity in Om aha, Salem and Falls City to handle at least C,o00 barrels from which the quota has been trimmed month by month. Allan Burke, director of agricul ture, said there was no reason why Nebraska should be placed under a quota since oil production is from "stripper wells" which are exempt from federal regulations.
