Fire Alarm
Fire caused by an overheated bear
ing in one of the elevators, caused a
small fire at the Donalsonville Grain
and Elevator Company last Friday.
For a while, the blaze threatened to
spread over the building due to the
fact that it started atop the high
peanut bin, beyond reach of the pres
sure of the hose. The hose was
finally hoisted up a ladder to the blaze
and water played on it to extinguish
Two alarms were sounded last week
in which slight damage was done to
the roof of the dwelling of Mr. A. J.
Ivey, and a pile of leaves buring at
the rear of the home of Mr. Ira King
became unmanageable, threatening the
home. The leaves fire was brought
under control without damage to the
home, however.
Mrs. E. E. Babb left this week for
Mcßae to spend some time.

$976.75 Raised In First 3
Days Os Red Cross Drive
ANTICIPATE QUOTA WILL BE REACHED BEFORE END
C. D. Thomas, treasurer of the Red
Cross War Drive Fund, stated Wed
nesday that a total of $976.75 had
been turned into him up to Wednes-I
day afternoon as contributions con
tinued to pour in. The county quota
of SI2OO will be reached by the end
of the week, it is thought.
While the drive was officially an
nounced to begin next Tuesday, last
week the committee mailed out a num
ber of cards requesting the people to
send ni their donations as the commit
tee was composed of business men
who would have to leave their busi-j
ness and make the drive. They were
asked to hand or send their donatons;
to one of the committee or send it
to the treasurer.
The committee had previously ’
met and set a quota for each person 1
to whom the cards were sent, the <
quota being based on their ability to
pay. In sending the cards, many were
overlooked, due to the short time the'
committee had to get the cards out. j
In commenting on the*response to!
i the appeal for funds for the Red
Cross, Mr. Thomas said, “Never have
I seen people give more generously
and willingly in my long residence in
; Donalsonville. Many who did not re- 1
ceive cards in this district have sent
or brought their donations in unsolicit
ed, and the committee is deeply grate- ’
ful for the fine response by the peo- 1
pie as a whole.
“I have contacted many in my store
and they have all responded with gen
erous donations.” Continuing, Mr-
Thomas said “It is a genuine pleas
uer to work for such a worthy cause
as the Red Cross, which is doing soI
much for our soliders both in America;
and with our forces abroad, when the
people give unstintingly and willingly
as they have done on this occasion.
The cooperation has been so remark
able, that the committee will have to
spend only a short while at work
to complete the drive, which we hope
will exceed our quota by a good mar
gin. We want Seminole county to al
ways do its part, and in this instance:
the response will be such that we will |
all be justly proud of our record.”
Committees in some districts have
already begun functioning and good
reports are anticipated from them.
The Colored people are taking an ac
tive interest in the drive and a good
report is anticipated from that source.
The drive continue through the
month of March. Anyone who has
not yet contributed to the fund is
urged to see some member of the
county comittees or to mail or send;
their donations to C. D. Thomas,!
treasurer.
With reference to the drive Presi
dent Roosevelt has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
A PROCLAMATION

Is Commissioned
i Os interest to many friends here
j is the announcement that Mrs. Wm.
! G. Goodner, nee Miss Inez Roberts,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Rob
erts, has received a commission as
Second Lieutenant in the Women’s
Army Auxilliary Corps at Des Moines,
lowa.
Mrs. Goodner, whose husband is a
Lieutenant in the Army, serving over
seas, enlisted in the W A AC’s last fall
and was sent to Des Moines. A few
weeks ago she was picked from the
large group as officer material and
was tendered the offer to attend th<
i officer’s school. She has just com
pleted the course and received her
commission.
She has been assigned as a platoon
commander and athletic officer of her
company, which is a basic company
of girls who have just entered ser
vice.
Last week her platoon was awarded
a plaque for being the best after the
formal inspection. There are 66 girls
in the platoon under her command.
Colquittan Heads
Bessie Tift Drive
At a meeting of the executive com-!
mittee of the Bowen Association in I
Bainbridge recently, C. J. Stapleton, of j
Colquitt was asked to direct the en-l
dowment campaign of Bessie Tift;
College in this association. The Geor
gia Baptist Convention last fall au
thorized Bessie Tift to go afield to,
secure an endowment of SIOO,OOO, the!
amount needed to place the school on
the Southern Education Association
list of accredited colleges and secon- j
dary schools.
The emeutive committee of the
Bowen Association acepted a quota of j
approximately SIOOO, which is based I
on 40 percent of the cooperative pro
gram and designated contributions oi
the churches in this association for |
the year 1941. This is the ratio be
ing accepted by other associations in
the state, most of which are already I
organized for this campaign. A sub
stantial amount of the total for the
state has been paid in.
Dr. C. L. McGinty, president of the
college, stated in the recent meeting;
with the executive committee, that;
the Baptists of Georgia are respond- I
ing heartily to this appeal.
While Bessie Tift College is one of
the best girls schools in the South, it
is suffering in competition for stu
dents because it lacks sufficient en
dowment and equipment to meet the
accrediting standard. It is being dis
criminated against by prospective
.students, and its graduates are also
being discriminated against in the
matter of seeking employment, es
pecially in the field of teaching. Geor
gia Baptists are well able to remove
this stigma from this venerable in
stitution of ninety-five years of his
tory.
Mr. Stapleton will visit some of the
churches of the Bowen Association
as he has time and opportunity, but
he is depending upon the pastors to
present the matter to their people and
their laymen to back it up.
The month of March has been de
signated for the campaign to be pre
sented to the churches.
The hosts of friends of Dr. E. C.
Smith will regret to learn that he is
critically ill at a Dothan hospital. Re
ports from his bedside are very dis
couraging.

A WEEK OF
WAR
(From Office Os War Information)
The Tunisian battle-lines, which
last week were changing rapidly un
der the German advance, are now
pretty sharply delineated, when vet
eran Axis divisions broke through the
Southern range of mountains at Faid
Pass and Sidi Bou Zid, overran Gafsa,
md poured ino the plains at Sbeitla,
Kasserine and Periana, the Allied
forces were forced to retreat, forced
also to abandon three airfields and
destory or abandon quantities of
quipment and supplies, and to take
! P positions in the second range of
mountains, the so-called “Grand For
al” that runs from Pont Du Fahs
Southwestward just East of the Al
lied stronghold of Tebessa.
The threat to the right rear of the
British First Army, immobilized by
mud in Northern Tunisia just in back
)i Bizerte and Tunis, was apparent
when the German columns continued
their advance, pushing through the
Kasserine pass of the Grand Dorsal
range toward Thala and Tebessa. Had
this drive been successful, had the
German forces succeeded in storming
the passes and moving up toward the
Coast, the Axis could conceivably
have broken the whole Allied defense
in this area.
That this did not happen was a cred
it, said Secretary of War Stimson, to
the fine action of American ground
forces, the great skill of our air sup
port, and the valuable help given by
the British First Army. Our forces
were not broken by the Germans, on
the contrary, the counterattack that
checked the enemy in the passes
Northwest of Kasserine and hurled
him back almost 10 miles-was a suc
cess. And although American losses
in the first 10 days of the Axis of
fensive were heavy, they were prob
ably not as large as first expected,
as several American units which were
cut off have made their way back
through the Axis lines. Losses ad
mittedly included substantial quanti
ties of tanks, scout cars and field guns
but much of this material has already
been replaced.
For the immediate future, Mr. Stim
son predicted fighting all along the
Tunisian Front. “We must expect set
backs and casualties. We must not
expect any easy or quick victory in
Tunisia.” And to correct a misunder-
