N. Baker today demanded Monday, October 27, | to know why the British premier | z jhas not authorized the opening | *##tements made by the Riveros of another front in Europe. Britain, he declared, is throw- ing away the chance for success- iful action so unexpectedly pre-} sented her by the German at- tack on Russia. If Britain ever is to win the war, Baker told parliament, now is the time. Either by sending a British Ex- pedifionary Force direct to the continent, or by attacking through the Caucausus from Iran and Iraq, Baker said his country is obligated to help the Reds stem ithe tide of German aggression.

The supply minister declared | both England and the United! Ss tates must pour equipment into the hands of the Russian armies at ERT CAREY FOR COUNCIL SEAT YOUNG MAN IS VERY AC- TIVE IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES Albert H. Carey, native born citizen who has always been in- terested in the affairs of the city and its future, decided this week to place his name before the voters for consideration as a mem- ber of the council to be elected on November 11. Identified with the educational and religious life of the com- munity, Mr. Carey has spent his life in his home town, having been a member of various civic groups working for the best interest of the city. A graduate of Key West High School, Mr. Carey attended Flor- ida Southern College in Lakeland where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education after which he accepted a position with the Board of Public Instruction. He is at present assistant principal of the Harris School. “If elected, I shall always strive to work for the best interest of the city”, was the only statement which My. Carey wished to make in the interest of his candidacy. The many citizens who have been advocating the institution of “new blood” and young men in local politics believe that Mr. Carey stands a splendid chance of ~ {holding a post on the council dur- ing the next administration: $ STANDS AT ATTENTION | pe a a ae (GREENSBORO, N.

He said if we paid him $1,000, he still would have nothing to do with the unions, so we felt there was nothing more we could do.

Expect Rostov Fall Berlin sources said the high command may issue at any hour a special communique announcing the fall of Rostov, strategic and industrially important Russian city at the eastern head of the Sea of Azov. Heavy fighting is reported in progress within a few miles of the city now, and it is pointed out that its capture would give the Ger mans a vitally important spring: board from which to drive across the route of British supplies and aid coming up from Iran: ’ Moscow, admitting German gains in the south, said the war is taking a huge toll of Nazi lives and a communique placed the to- HELLO, AMERICANS!
