It is thought that, following reorgan- ization of all fighting forces with the Nazis in command, that all three partners will strike simul- taneously with the strongest means available. In the meantime, the war of the air over England and Nazi- controlled lands continue. Groups ;of Nazi bombers have been 'smashing away at English de- jfenses all day long today, fol- jlowing night-long attacks which | brought additional destruction to property and mounting casual- , ties. | The British air campaign =| against Germany was stepped up to still greater heights, however, ;and widespread bomb attacks | were reported along the English {channel at several French points. |Railroad lines into Cherbourg | were said to have suffered heavy | damage, creating havoc to the German supply lines for that main port of France. ‘Air Force was being consum- mated today, bringing control of the attack and defending units under younger command. Battles today over England re- sulted in the downing of 20 Nazi {planes and loss of four British- ers, reports stated. RITES TOMORROW “FOR MRS. VALDEZ Funeral services for .

C., Oct. 5.—You can't lead a Horshoe Necker to water. Long ago he worked out a plan to bring the water to him. Houses in Horshoe Neck are built on high ridges.
