Around Sevastopol, the other major scene of current fighting on th« Eastern front, the Germans have massed seven artillery regiments on their main line of aseault in an effort to batter down the Russian fortifications of that besieged Crimean city, the Russians siaid.Tass, Soviet news agency, said the Germans were using at least seven infantry divisions and more than 150 tanks against Sevastopol in addition to the artillery.In repulsing the repeated heavy German ascaulits, the agency said, the Sevastopol garrison in a single day destroyed forty tanks and killed the major part of three regiments of infantry, while Soviet planes burned ten tanks, knocked out twelve more and smashed thirteen trucks loaded with infantry.On the Knarkov front, where a Soviet communique said 180 German tanks were destroyed or damaged yesterday, Pass reported that the invaders struggled all eiiay to gain one-third cf a mile, onli to be hurled back in the end.There was a flurry ef activity also on the long-dormant Bryansk front in the Central area, where a quick Red Army thrust was reported to have killed 000 Germans and driven others out of their positions.The Bryansk front is hinged at the Nazi-held railway city of Bryansk, 210 miles Southwest of Moscow, on the.plains between Kharkov UNEXPLAINED BLACKOUT FOR LARGE SECTION OF AFRICAN COAST RESTRICTIONS ARE PLACED ON WORK CLOTHING Leather Garments and Cotton Sportswear Also Come Under New War Prices Board Order.Durban, South Africa, June 16.\u2014 ((P) \u2014The ail-clear was sounded in Durban on the East Coast of- South Africa at 9:50 a.m.today after the city had been blacked out all night for an unexplained precautionary measure.School children were sent home this morning.(There have been unofficial reports of Japanese submarines operating off the East African Coast).Snow Hill, Md., June 16.\u2014(.(P)\u2014A bolt of lightning flashed along the cells at the Worcester County jail, knocked open the big iron gate\u2014 but not one of the fourteen pris- Ottawa, June 16.\u2014( Ml, Gardiner believed, beef in Quebec Province.^,he ^Ithap the majority of members of the knowledged sunk and STC !

Expected to Be Provided with Street Lights Tonight\u2014Level of St.Francis Drops to Allow Resumption of Normal Traffic Across River\u2014Damages to Manufacturing Plants Estimated at Hundreds of Thousands.Employees of manufacturing concerns and residents of homes on the streets flanking the St.Francis River went to work today digging themselves out from under an accumulation of mud and debris under which the buildings were buried as the water overflowed the banks of the stream and raced through Lans-downe, Big Forks, Windsor and King Streets, First Avenue and other thoroughfares on the low levels in perhaps the worst flood ever experienced in this city.Employees of the City Electricity and Gas and Roads Departments as well as members of the Police and Fire Department swung into high gear early this morning to restore to normal conditions which caused a number of local concerns to cease operations and tied up traffic between the East and Centre parts of the city.Gaston Masse, Superintendent of the Electricity and Gas Department, said that the manufacture of gas had been resumed at two o\u2019clock this morning, two hours after the ¦water had receded from the municipal gas plant on Wellington Street South.Discontinued last night, street lighting for East Sherbrooke will again be furnished by tonight, Mr.Masse said The service was interrupted when the transformers for the East Ward were damaged by water with the flooding of the automatic sub-station near the gas plant.Water which until late last night had swirled down Lansdowne Street, across King Street and down Big Forks Street, causing the halting ot bus and automobile traffic to and from the East Ward, had receded by this morning, and normal service resumed.Yesterday afternoon and last night rowboats, one motor boat, canoes, army trucks, privately-owned trucks and horses and wagons had been pressed into service to transport people to and from their homes and places of business.Transportation facilities to and from Sherbrooke were still not normal by any means today, but greatly improved.Bus services to Lennoxville and to Coaticook were \u2022 resumed this morning, and the Westbound lines of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways were in operation.The Sherbrooke-Lake Megantic run was also opened up by the C.P.R.today.Although part of the trip has to be made by bus, the Quebec Central Railway Company passenger service to Quebec is being carried on, buses carrying passengers around a washed-out bridge between Weedon and St.Gerard.The bridge is expected to be erected again by tomorrow.Although still closed, the Sherbrooke-Newport run should be opened by tonight.While estimates are still unofficial, the damage to manufacturing plants along the river banks is expected to run almost to the $1,000,0\u201900-mark.The surging, dirty waters poured into the basement and first floors of the Hovey Packing Company, Hall Machinery, Sherbrooke Pneumatic Tool Company, S.Rubin Ltd., Eastern Townships Products, Ltd., International Harvester Company and other plants, and also into the warehouses of the J.S.Mitchell Company, the Market building and the No.3 Police Station.Equipment, machinery and stock were all soaked by the dirty water.Homes on the East Sherbrooke side of the river were hit heavily by the flood, with families being forced to vacate their dwellings by boats and wagons to escape from the water which soared up over the first floor and ruined ftirniture.According to M.Graham, local Manager of the Bell Telephone Company, flooding of underground cables put about 100 telephones in East Sherbrooke out of commission.A Lafrance Pump engine was pressed into service when the Frontenac Street power house was flooded^ yesterday afternoon, and the braiding was cleared inside of an hour.The flood obliged the Quebec Streams Commission to open the dams at St.Gerard and Disraeli, releasing the water from Lake Aylmer and Lake St.Francis.Local authorities opened the Weedon and West-bury dams on the St.Francis, the Rock Forest dam and the Frontenac Street dam on the Magog River.Flooded out in about fifteen minutes at noon yesterday, the Carnation Milk Company lost about 75,-000 pounds of milk when the water soaked the boiler and engine room and caused the operations to be shut clown.About 200,000 pounds of milk were in the tanks at the time, but with the assstance of the Sherbrooke Pure Milk Company, who separated a large amount and permitted the Carnation Company to take a separator up to their plant, the majority of the milk was saved.In addition, according to Keith Reynolds, Manager of the plant, some 5,000 pounds of sugar, stored in fifty 100-pound bags, was ruined by the water.Mr.Reynolds estimates that the damage will amount to between $5,0fXI and $10,000, with the halting of operations, damage to motors and vehicles being considered.While no milk is received today, the plant will be in full swing again tomorrw.WOMAN INJURED ; IN

place war veterans in their particular fieljf of work, which task will be undertaken by the Placement Bureau of the Unemployment Insurance Commission.With 2,50'0,000 persons registered under the Unemployment insurance Act by 200,000 employers in Canada, he pointed out that of this number there are 40,000 employees working for 2,0,00 employers in the Eastern Townships covering the territory under his jurisdiction.Mr.Fortier is in charge of five counties, Sherbrooke, Richmond, Compton, Wolfe and Stanstead.He added that out of the 3,200 applications received by the Sherbrooke Unemployment Commission office from January 1st to June 1st, those given employment numbered 2,160.The others wore given financial benefits under the Federal plan.\u201cIn the past four months, from February to May, ninety men and thirteen women received benefits totalling $3,400, which amount was paid by 300 cheques.\u201d \u201cMore than $3,0,0'0,000 per month is being accumulated under this plan from both employer and employee.\u201d he continued.\u201cThe first year $60,000,000 was accrued and the second year $75,000,000 is expected to be collected under the By ALLAN BRYCE In the dim, distant days when this reporter\u2019s hair is gray he will still be talking about the day away back in 1942, on June 15, (pay day), to be exact, when he strolled out of the office to take a look at the flood which turned the city and Eastern Townships on their ears and caused thousands and thousands of dollars damage.Little did he know, when he started out through the afternoon drizzle, that he would find himself stuck on the highway with water ploughing around and past the car he was driving through the flats near Leo Green\u2019s gas station on the Shevbrooke-Stanstead highway.And he never expected to be riding merrily along King and Lansdowne Streets in an outboard motor boat.* * * * Thanks for the motor boat ride are due Reg.Bishop, the energetic meat vendor, who was only too glad to allow the reporter and his companion, Gene Codere, barber and man-about-town, to accompany him on a dash through the muddy water.Purpose of the trip was to change the motor from one rowboat to another, and to do that Reg.had to travel from the C.N.R.tracks on King Street around into Lansdowne Street «and up to the entrance to the Hovey plant, where Philip Hovey assisted in the transfer of the engine, * * * * The water on Lansdowne Street must have been five or six feet deep, and it was racing down the street at terrific speed, making it hard for the boat to make any progress.Evidence of damage was at every hand, with the Hovey plant, the Market, the No.3 Police Station, the J.S.Mitchell Company warehouses, the International Harvester Company, the Sherbrooke Pneumatic Tool Co.and the Hall Machinery building appearing to be floating in water up to the tops of the doors, In one place the roof of a car just stuck out of the water, and nearby a truck was submerged.Older residents of Sherbrooke said it was the first time, to their knowledge, that a motor boat had ever travelled through the streets under its own power, The two passengers enjoyed the trip, except for a few nervous moments on the turns.* * * * After leaving the motor boat, your scribe then joined forces with a group of friends, (five ladies and a baby), and, they being quite willing, offered to drive them out (in their car, of course), to see the flood out-of-town.Off we headed down Wellington Street, .only to have to turn around when it was discovered that the street was blocked opposite the Webster plant, Travelling up Aberdeen and along Laurier, we descended Galt Street and again found Wellington Street roped off under the trestle.At last we got out on the highway, and, travelling past Lenncx-viile, gazed out on the lake of water- that, covered the fields and road, railway tracks and all, for a two-mile stretch between the bridge near Lennoxville and the Green station.As the four hundred rode into fire and smoke, so we rode into the water, and all went well until, about half-way through, the car sputtered and then lay down on the job, figuring it wasn\u2019t worth while getting wet for nothing.There was a problem, with the water rushing past and the car on strike.Finally another car came along and pushed the ailing vehicle to the high and dry land past the gas station.Then came the the problem of getting back, but that was solved when the driver of H.C.Wilson and Sons truck agreed to come to the rescue.Behind the truck was another car, with our machine bringing up the rear, attached by a rope.All was well, but it was some fun while it lasted.* * * # This flood yarn was told the reporter by Postmaster C.E.Soles, and is as true as the day is long.Tom Dorman, a six-foot mail carrier, came pedalling from his home in the St.Elie d\u2019Orford Region early yesterday morning.When he reached Key Brook he found it transformed into a rushing river, and knew he couldn\u2019t pedal through on his bicycle.So, be stripped, put his clothes in his mail bag and held them over his bead with one hand.Grasping the bike with the other he strode bravely through the torrent, the water rushing past within uncomfortable close range of his chin and threatening at any moment to sweep him off his feet.\u201cWhy did you do it, Tom?\u201d Mr.Soles asked.\u201cIt was pay day,\u201d declared Tom, with a grin.*r *\t*\t* And here\u2019s the amusing story of how Armand Filion, Government annuity expert, made out on his return from a fishing trip to Scotstown.Armand left Scotstown by train at six o\u2019clock this morning.Arriving at Bury, he found that the train was unable to go any farther, and he waited around there for eight hours.At length, around two o\u2019clock, he got a lift, and arrived in Sherbrooke around three o\u2019clock.A few minutes later he was seen riding across the watery stretch between the Lansdowne Bridge and the C.N.R.tracks on King Street in a horse-drawn cart.Some come-down for a Government man, and look at the time lost in annuity selling.# * * * Odds and ends: The hundreds of spectators thronging King Street all yestei\u2019day afternoon almost believed they were at the sea shore when a big army truck ploughed through the water and sent waves splashing around their feet, but they really had to run backwards in a hurry when the big hook and ladder truck of the Fire Department chugged across from East Sherbrooke\u2014Some screwball who seemed as wet inside as he was on the outside went weaving across the King Street pond in his best suit of clothes.He pulled his trousers up around his knees and ventured forth.Soon the water was well above his stomach.Great amusement was provided the crowd as he teetered back and forth, but he managed to make the Lansdowne bridge without capsizing \u2014Pete Couture\u2019s shack below the J.S.Mitchell coal shed on Pig Forks Street standing on one end and just waiting for a big wave to wash it away \u2014 The work of mercy carried on through the flood.Brought by ambulance to the edge of the pond, a patient hospital-bound was placed on a stretcher, taken across in a horse-drawn wagon and then transferred to another ambulance for the trip to hospital \u2014 Many were heard to voice regret that the approaches to the Q.L.C.were buried far under, but one thoughtful individual said, \u201cOh, well, we can get it at the other one if wc get up enough energy to climb King Hill.\u201d Additional Plans For July 1st Celebration Are Discussed Continued on Page 2.Col, 6.A discussion of additional plans for the all-day Dominion Day celebration, which will be held in Sherbrooke on July 1, took place at a general meeting of the various committees held in City Hail last night.A report of the

TRANSPORTATION AND THE BATTLEFRONTS Although perhaps appearing on the surface as a negative victory, the vital news of the hour is the continued ability of the Russian lines to hold staunchly against the continued German attacks.There can be no doubt that Hitler is straining every nerve to get his heavily delayed offensive underway, but it will not roll until he can rip loose a portion of that magnificent Red line somewhere.Particularly violent fighting continued in the two greatest battles\u2014one on the Kharkov front in the Ukraine and the other before the long-besieged Soviet naval base of Sevastopol on the Crimea in the Black Sea.These closely-related operations represent a Nazi effort to crack the gateway into the Caucasus, thereby creating a funnel through which the Nazi chief could pour his waiting legions.Here the Germans, employing the tactics which they made so well known in the First Great War, have been trying to breach the Red defences by weight of numbers.It is a method of attack which frequently succeeds\u2014if you don\u2019t care how many lives you sacrifice.However, .Marshal Timeshenko s forces at latest reports were standing off these terrific massed attacks and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.That the defenders also were suffering many casualties seemed a foregone conclusion.Further evidence that the Fuehrer is trying to get his \u201cspring\u201d offensive going is seen in the boiling up of fierce local attacks throughout the length of the attenuated Russo-German line.One of the most important of these assaults continues against the Arctic port of Murmansk, the rail-head through which vital military supplies are being poured into Russia.The Nazi object, of course, is to cut this lifeline.Watch Murmansk, if you would keep well informed on the progress of the war, since preservation of this route is essential, and its loss would be a real catastrophe.Do not forget that this is a war of resources, in which production and transportation must be maintained at top pitch.Production won't win the war unless transportation gels the material to the soldiers on the front.So Murmansk, in some degree like the Burma Road, is one of the Allied key positions right now.The importance of transportation is clearly seen in the nature of the belligerent activities.Hitler is combing Atlantic and Arctic waters with his submarines and raiders.The Japs waged a major campaign to sever China's Burma road life-line.And now the Nipponese are making violent efforts to conquer Southeastern China, and the immediate purpose of this drive is to secure the railways which will permit Japan to send supplies overland much of he way lo French Indo-China.The point is that at present the Japs are dependent on their long sea-lanes to reach their new conquests, and their loss of shipping and protective naval vessels daily makes their supply problem more serious.THE DRAFT SYSTEM CHANGES Gall-up of men by lot for compulsory military training will start next month without fuss or show, according to tùe Department of National War Services which stales that there will he no public drawing of names from a hat or beans from a jar as the call-up switches from the selective system in effect so far to the lottery system.The lottery will work on a divisional basis.The Registrar of each W ar Services Division will form a pool of the men in the age classes liable lo compulsory service in his division and draw the names of the number required each month from the pool.The selection of the men to be called in any given month will thus change to a basis of chance.Tp to now they have been selected with a view to distributing the call-up equally through all localities in a particular division.One of the results of the change may be that four or five young men will be called up in one month from one village while in another village nearby none may bo called although there are au equal number in the callable class.Working on the selective basis as in the past the Registrar would pick his men so that about the same number would be called from each of the two villages but the law of chance may not work out that way.Announcement was made recently that the lottery system would apply lo the August call-up.The process of selecting and notifying' the men required for the July call-up now is underway and the men are to report on successive days starting July 16.Arrangements for the August call-up will be made in July and late in that month, it is expected, the Divisional Registrars will have their pools formed and start picking the names.The change from the selective to the lottery system of picking the men is due to come into effect as larger numbers of men are being called up for the army.The July call-up is 16,060 men and as a new system of inducting them into the army with a view to making possible the handling of larger numbers now is in effect it is expected that the monthly call-ups for some time to come will run 16,000 or more.EVERY MAN IS ENTITLED TO HIS OWN IDEAS To the Editor of the Record.Dear Sir:\u2014In reference to your editorial of the 13th inst., and other writings by you

whatever they can do, the British people are prepared, and British defences are better able to deal with attacking planes than ever before.And whatever they do, nothing will shake the courage or
