Eleven chairs, (overstuffed and occasional chairs) 14 davenport cushions, 1 love seat and 1 sofa left the reuphostering clinic, held at Murdock this past week, as good as new. Springs re tied, woodwork refinished, new or reclaimed tapestry, together with two days hard work have increased the usefulness of the above pieces another ten years.

SHARE THE MEAT The "Share the Meat" program that is to be launched soon is an opportunity to conserve one of the "right" foods that is so important in daily diet, accordng to Miss Ma bel Doremus, Extenson Foods Spe cialist at the University of Nebras ka College of Agriculture. "To provide for fair sharing of es. "The amount of meat allocated for civilian use w ill be shared among 128 million Americans. Of course, babies under 6 months of age an(j So-called vegetarians eat no meat. Children up to 12, invalids ! wju De no meat for children under ! fun allowance or two and one halfto (pounds for everyone over 12 years j Df age. rossiby other changes may ue made in the plan from time to time. "How you manage the week's j supply 0f meat is for you to decide. Perhaps your family would prefer meatless days or possibly a general reduction throughout the week by means of meatless meals by using smaller portions. The important thing is to stay within the suggest ed limits. By some such plans as i these we will share with others. "This sharing of meat does not include glandular meats, liver. Jessie H.

Eisenhower Placed In Command Of Africa Forces London, Nov. 24 (UP) All French Forces in Africa have been put under the command of Lieut. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower by agreement with Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, active Paris radio said today. Though the report was not confirm ed here, it was regarded as the log- l ical sequel to the swing of all French West Africa, including Dakar to the allied crbit, as announced over French African radios Admiral Jean Fran cois Darlan, the French leader in Af rica. News of the loss of Dakar enraged the Germans, evidently, and stimu lated the new German-backed cam paign to form an African Legion among continental Frenchmen, the so called phalange Africaine, to fight the allies in Africa A German transocean dispatch from Vichy said leaders of the hastily or ganized Legion issued an appeal last night to all Frenchmen between the ages of 18 and 40 years to join it "Join us in order to conquer the French Colonial Empire and revenge our comrades killed at Mers El Kebir Daka, Syria, Madagascar, Oran, Al giers and Casablanca," the proclama tion read. The Nazi Paris radio said that Axis troops in Tunisia were expect ing the arrival of "new" contingents of troops from France to aid them. It was assumed that the Nazi pup net dictator Pierre Laval, now in Paris, had given his support to the Legion idea. Marshal Henry Philippi Petain in a brief and apparently delated radio speech last night appealed to French forces in West Africa to support him and, by implication, the Germans. Recognizing the definite defection of the French forces in other zones he said that the troops in West Africa and in French Somaliland on the east African coast alone "remain free from foreign forces." "I confided in you the defense of French West Africa," Petain said. "You have fulfilled your mission. It is due to your heroism and firmness if in this turmoil there still exists one bit of African earth where the French flag still flies alone If you are attacked you must defend your selves to assert French sovereignty. You will loyally obey the orders which I give you." However, it appeared that Dakar and the rest of West Africa had fall en into allied hands, with Its men, guns, planes and ships, without a fight. Dispatches indicated that the allied forces were making steady progress in their deliberate investment of the German-held areas of Tunisia. Civilian Defense Ordinance Is Passed By Council Provides For Enforcement Of Reg ulations During Time For Defense Pass Milk Ordinance The city council last evening pass ed two regulatory ordinaces, one a war time measure of civilian defense that provides for penalties for the vio lation or disregard of the rules set forth as necessary in the common de fense and in cases of sabotage or air raids when a black out of the city may be necessary. The other ordinance passed is the one providing for the regulation of the nananng 01 miiK(""- .ivi& vww.il, for sale by the public, providing for grading, transportatin and the inspec tion of dairies where the milk is pre pared for the market. The ordinances will be in effect following their pub lication in the Journal. Mayor R. B. Hayes presented a let ter to the city council from himself giving the correspondence that he had with the Henningsen Engineering company, relative to the contract with the city as to their services as engi neers in the condemnation proceed ings against the Plattsmouth Water corporation. This was ordered made a part of the city records. Police Judge C. L. Graves reported for the wee of November 15th, there had been one arrest and fines and costs of $15.70 collected. Chairman Schutz of the street, al-; leys and bridges committee, reported that the city workers had started to enlarge the doors "at the north side of the fire station in the city hall and found that it would be necessary to remove two iron post and widen the entrance for the new fire truck. This job was turned over to the parks and improvement committee of which Councilman Nelson is the chair man. Chairman Schutz also reported the need of repairs at the end of the Granite street viaduct, also the de sire of Ray Story to have a new walk i placed on the west side of the Home Dairy. This permission was granted with the work under the supervision of the street committee. Mr. Schutz stated that he had been promised relief in the matter of tire replacement for the city truck. At the suggestion of the street, al leys and bridges committee, the re surfacing of Oak street, highway to the Oakhill cemetery, was ordered and the rock be placed where needed. It was estimated that fifty six tons would be required to make the road in the best of shape for the winter season. The matter of the payment of com pensation to Richard Gochenour, city employe, injured some weeks ago while handling" scrap in the drive. was discussed. The city carries a pol icy on their employees and it was urged that steps be taken to see that there was some action by the insur ance company in the matter and also in that of Chief of Police Parker who has a compensation claim. It was de cided that if the company made no reply to the communication of the city clerk, that the matter be placed in the hands of the city attor ney. Councilman Vroman called atten tion of the council to the fact that the city hag property located on the Missouri river bottoms that has been under lease to T. H. Pollock for the past few years. The rental has not been paid for the current year and the city clerk was ordered to notify Mr. Pollock. The request of Henry Starkjohn and William Bayly for the right to construct a sidewalk near their home on 12th street was granted at the re quest of Councilman Rebal. Councilman Vroman called atten tion to the fact that the next coun cil meeting will be on Monday, De cember 14th, the date set for the blackout of the seventh corps area, also that almost all of the council have some part in the defense setup and therefore the council voted to hold the regular meeting on Tuesday December 15th.
