OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA
Total Raised Is Almost Double Quota
Assigned County; Negroes Raise $221.63
Seminole County Red Cross War
Fund donations had exceeded $2,000
on Wednesday of this week as the
drive officially came to a close, the
final total given out by treasurer C.
D. Thomas being $2,066.05, or $866.05
in excess of the SI2OO quota assigned
to the county by Red Cross National
headquarters.
Donations have continued to pour in
without solictation to swell the figure
to this total, the largest amount ever
raised in any similar drive in the his
tory of the county.
Most liberal in their contributions
were the Negro people of the county.
A drive was made by committees ap
pointed by the Colored folks them
selves, and last Sunday, Treasurer
Thomas was called to a meeting of
the Negro committee where he was
presented with $221.63 by them as
a result of their drive. The money
was raised entirely by gifts from the
colored folks, and they are to be com
mended for their fine spirit and effort
in this cause.
Various Negro churches worked to
raise the money and the sum raised
was most gratifying.
In the list of donors carried this
week, some names of givers were not
complete and must be carried next
week in order to give due credit to
those making gifts, Mr. Thomas said.

ed two weeks ago, follows:

A WEEK 0F _
WAR
(From Office Os War Information)
i
Some'of the horde t lighting of ihe
North African war was in progres.-
last week in South an 1 C ntral Tuni- >
sia. The British Eighth Army having i
t; bn 2,000 Axis prisoners, was at-I
tempting to widen its break-through •
at the Mareth Line, engaging the en-l
emy in heavy artillery dueling and. i
carrying terrific aerial assalts against i
Rommel’s tank and troop concentra
tions. Light and medium bomber:
have pounded air fields, vehicles,
roads, docks—any objective t'-..t ht
Axis could use in its counterattacks.
American forces, tightening their
part of the ring around Rommel,
pushed forward in the Gafsa Area
columns, having gained more than
100 miles before the enemy counter
attacked near El Guettar, repulsed
the counterattack successfully, took
1500 Italian prisioners, and moved on
towards Gabes and Sfax, the big Axis
reinforcement bases on the Eastern
Coast.
Air activity was heavy over the en
tire Tunisian front. According to |
Secretary of War Stimson, American ;
fliers have* been shooting down three
or four Axis planes for every U. S.
plane lost. But, as Mr. Stimson point
ed out, the “grim, conclusive battles”
must always be fought on the ground.
Daylight Bombing of Europe
One reason for the success of |
American air power in Tunisia is the,
heavy day and night raids currently i
being made on Nazi war plants in
Germany and occupied Europe. These
raids, Mr. Stimson explained, are ■
keeping at home Axis fighting planes
that would otherwise be used against
us in North African. He called the
recent (March 18) American raid at
Vegesack, Germany, the war’s “most
successful American raid on German j
territory,” pointing out that the tar-}
get—the powerhouse-—was completely j
demolished and the area enveloped in
flames.
The success of this raid and of the
March 22 raid on Wilhelmshaven was
cited by Major General Ira C. Eaker,
Commander of the USAAF in the
European theater, as proof of the
practicability of high-level daylight
precision-bombing. Already, he said
the Germans are struggling for an
answer ♦ > the flying fortresses, the
types of aircraft they are sending
against them indicate how badly the
Axis has been forced to stretch its de
fenses.
Elaborating General Eaker’s state
ments, Brigadier General Newtor
Longfellow, commander of the Eighth
USAAF, predicted that in the neai
future we will have sufficient force,
to make daylight raids comparable
to those now being made at night by
the RAF.

FSA Buying Cattle
To Stop Slaughter
To prevent the slaughter of dairy
cows and heifers for beef, the Farm
Security Administration is prepared
to purchase and resell these animals
to aid in conserving the nation’s milk
supply, Seminole FSA Supervisor
announced yesterday.
“Farmers in Seminole County, who
have dairy cows and heifers for sale,
will Lc serving a patriotic cause by
offering then to the Farm Security
Administration", Mr. Hugh E. Glea
ton (County Supervisor) said. “We
are ready to pay beef market prices
or better for those animals. A check
lor the animals will he given promptly
upon their delivery.”
Animals purchased by the Farm
security Administration will be re
sold to farmers in the community or
elsewhere. They will be sold to ay
farmer for ca. h who will maintain the
production of cows row being milked,
bring dry cows into production, and
grow out heifers for milk production
purposes.
The purpose of the program is to
reduce to a minimum the slaughter of
dairy cows, heifer ' and calves and
provide a means of redistribution.
Dairy cows and hcifei ; haw been
moving to slaughter hou by the
thousand in rec'rnt weeks as a result
of attractive beef prices.
Funds for the purchase of the cat
tle have been set aside by the Com
modity Credit Corporation and the
FSA has been designated as the
agent of the CCC for the purchase,
distribution and resale of dairy ani
mals. The program is nationwide,
and it is likely that several thousand
tine blooned cattle from tne middle
.vest and east will be made available
to Southern farmers, Mr. Gloaton
said.
Friends of Mr. J. B. Gbson wili re
gret to learn that he received a pain
ful cut Tuesday afternoon when his
trousers caught in a moving shaft on
a gasoline engine. He pulled away
from the shaft, but sustained a large
cut in his leg, which required several
stitches to close.
Seaman Mosely Johnson, of the I’.
S. Navy, stationed at Key We t, Fla.,
is at home for a few days with rela
tives.
