Korosten, now within Soviet artillery range from three directions, and one column surged up from the South to within fourteen miles of the city, Moscow announced today.The column moving up from captured Zhitomir reached Tur-chenka while another force coming in from the Southeast captured Chepovichi fifteen miles away.A third group reached to Obikhodi, where it was fifteen miles from Korosten and but thirteen miles | from the North-South Odessa-1 Leningrad railway which at Kor-j osten crosses the East-West Kiev-j Warsaw Line.Both railroads were major German supply routes now virtually useless to the Germans East and North of their junction.Sixty towns and hamlets were taken in the Korosten area, said the Moscow communique, recorded by the Soviet Monitor from a broadcast, and more than 1,000 Germans were killed in the fighting.The 3rd Army also sprang a new attack killi#; 1,500 Nazis as they sought to trap the Germans in Gomel to the North.To the South the Germans hinted at the beginning of a flight from the Dnieper Bend.In the Korosten area the Germans lost considerable wdr material.In one sector, the communique said, German tank men, attacked with hand grenades, tried to save themselves by running away but were wiped out by automatic rifle fire.The Germans appeared to be relying upon flank counter-attacks for the major defence in the Korosten-Zhitomir region and they hammered at the Fastov area and Southeast of Zhitomir.The Russian midnight communique said thirty-five German tanks were knocked out and 600 Germans killed in the Fastov area.Soviet planes were active here, pounding troops concentrations and destroying twenty tanks and ninety trucks.The Korosten drive was linked with the fighting in the Reehitsa region where the Russians were aiming at Kainkovichi, the next important railway junction North of Korosten.The Moscow communique, recorded by the Soviet monitor from a broadcast, said the Red Army, which yesterday cut the railway leading from Continued

U.S.Minister Reports Strike Big Blow at Molybdenum Mine at Knaben and at Power Station, 80 Miles West of Oslo.By GLADWIN HILL, Associated Press Staff Writer.London, Nov.17.\u2014(Æ*) \u2014 Large formations of United States heavy bombers fought their way 700 miles across the North Sea through heavy snow storms to strike at Germany\u2019s essential metal supply, bombing a molyodenum mine at Knaben, on the West coast of Norway and a power station at Rjukan, approximately 80 miles West of Oslo.The attack on the Northern side of Germany\u2019s European fortress followed up an American raid yesterday on two Nazi air bases near Athens, on the Southern flank of Europe.The Britain-based heavy bombers were unescorted and encountered only slight resistance.They shot down six Nazi planes with a loss of only two bombers.The German-controlled Oslo radio was recorded by the Ministry of Information as saying that several places in Southern Norway were attacked at noon \u201cby strong American formations.\u201d The broadcast acknowledged, however, only \u201cdamage to some buildings.\u201d The aerial campaign against German war facilities across the Eng- Predict Immediate French Action To Ease Tension in Middle East Raising of Status of Canadian and American Legations Well Received.Ottawa, Nov.17.\u2014ffl\u2014Ray Atherton, United States Minister to Canada and Ambassador Designate, said at a press conference yesterday the raising of the status of the Canadian Legation at Washington and the United States Legation here to the status of embassies was greeted with enthusiastic satisfaction in Washington.Just back from a tour of duty at the iat3 Department, Mr.Atherton attributed this reaction to the \u201chigh place\u201d Canada holds in the opinion of the American people.Mr.Atherton, one of the senior officials of the State Department before his appointment here, was called to Washington, as he put it, to \u201cfill in\u201d while a considerable num- ! bet- of

predicted in London today after Gen.Georges Catroux, Commissioner of State for the De Gaulle Committee, reached Beirut with powers to settle the disturbances.Catroux took charge of the situation following upon representations by Britain and the United States over the arrest of the Lebanese LEBANON INCIDENT BEING SETTLED Algier*, Nov.17.\u2014(IP)\u2014Gen.Charles de Gaulle told a specially-convoked session of the French Consultative Assembly that the Lebanon incident is \u201con the way to being settled\u201d in a manner preserving France\u2019s relations with the Arab world and her fighting Allies.pected that remedial measures, urgently advised by Britain, would be taken within 24 hours, starting probably with the releatie of arrested officials.The recall of Jean Helleu, French High Commissioner, was anticipated, particularly in view of his reported statement that the French Committee ordered the action he took.The formation of a provisional Lebanese government under Emilie Eddeh likewise was expected to be repudiated by Gen.Catroux since the De Gaullists disclaimed any official French endorsement.Cairo dispatches said Lebanon was quiet but tense.A French communique said the situation was \"re turning to normal\u201d with troubles in Lebanon.\u201d London, Nov.17.t/P) \u2014 An appeal by the leaders of the tri-power alliance to the German people to scrap the Nazi regime and conclude the war honorably without further bloodshed and ruin was suggested unoflicially ! today for consideration at any possible meeting of Prime Minister Churchill, President Roosevelt and Premier Stalin.Such an appeal would le fully in accord with the announced .Soviet policy of making a distinction between the German masses and their leaders, and also with the strategy employed by the Allies to ease Italy out of tiie war.A series of appeals from Mr.Roosevelt and Mr.Churchill, reinforced by threats of utter destruc-; tion, preceded Italy\u2019s hasty capitulation to the first.Allied forces which ; invaded her mainland.Whereas there previously had [ been reported some divergences be-! tween British, American and Russian views of the post-war settlement in Germany, Cordell Hull, United States Secretary of State, plainly implied yesterday that such issues in the future would be decided on the basis of a common policy adopted at the recent

Fair prizes.Rest assured, however, that the prizes at this year\u2019s Fair will be just as many and just as costly, if not more so, than in the past years.Plans are also completed by Rotarian Mathias for the special Children's Afternoon, to be held on Saturday, when we earnestly hope that every boy and girl in the city of Sherbrooke will come to the Rotary Fair to enjoy the fun that we will provide for their own particular amusement and entertainment.As you wander at will among the many attractions at the Fair, pause a moment and think of those who are far from home, on the field of battle, and need the help that only the folks back home can provide.Remember this, and register, if you have not already done so, at the Blood Donor Booth, and be sure to buy a few extra War Savings Stamps, too.In conclusion, may I again extend : the welcome of the Rotarians of Sherbrooke to all who attend the ; Rotary Fair of 1943 \u2014 with your nelp it can be the success it deserves.Gerald M.Wiggett, General Chairman.Chapped, Rough Lips Prevented Relieve Soreness Instantly Sore, chapped lips make life miserable in cold weather.Painful and unsightly, their cracked, rough surfaces are easily infected.Don\u2019t run this risk!

necessary to know, in advance, the j approximate number for whom dinner is to be provided.This event will be entirely informal, and the programme being j arranged by the officials is intended to promote goodfellowship between the ex-servicemen of the older and j younger generations, and to insure I a realization of the responsible position which the Canadian Legion is preparing to assume in the forefront of tbè welfare programme in this Dominion in the future.Col.G.Best Shows Films To Rotary Club, Depicting Great War Work Of Salvation Army \u2022 A technicolor motion picture un- overseas.In the Ontario headquax-der the title of \u201cBehind the Red ters there is a tireless, cheerful ; Shield'' was screened at the regu- group of women meeting four days 1 iar meeting of the Sherbrooke Ro- of each week to sort, sew and pack | tary Club in the New Sherbrooke garments of all kinds for overseas.I House last night by Col.Gilbert There was an inspiring sight dur-Best, Divisional Commander of the ing the screening which showed ; Salvation Army for Eastern Ontario stacks of woollen comforts, the neat : and Quebec.\t: packages of clothing for bombed vic- Dealing with the story of the work tims and sparkling white bundles I done by the Salvation Army for sol- containing dainty and practical lay-diers and members of other services ettes for British babies, in Canada and abroad, the film j Other scenes revealed one of the showed the training of Can- services rendered by the volunteer adinn Commandos, the pastime Women, that of sewing In the mend-of soldiers in Red Shields, soldiers ing room which have been estab-in S.A.chapels praying, and mobile lished at most military camps in the canteens, with each one being equip- Dominion and abroad.A R.S.W.A.ped to serve several hundred.I member stitches on the stripes of a The picture also disclosed a1 soldier, or mends his uniform, or steady stream of hospital supplies, sews a button on his shirt cuff, whila knitted goods, children\u2019.?goods and the boys chat about the family and the comforts of life for servicemen friends back home, or while playing streaming into Toronto headquarters a game of chess, and then re-packed and re-shipped JEAN VAIENTI UNDERWRITERS\u2019 GUEST SPEAKER The film was produced by the Salvation Army and the running commentary carried the voice of Col.Best.He was accompanied by Major Fred Mcrrett.of Montreal, Division Young IVople's Secretary, and Major E.E.Grant, in charge of the Sherbrooke Corps.D.J.Sails introduced Col.Best and he was thanked by Abe Echen-berg.The guest has been a Salvationist for thirty years.R.T.Kdney, Hubert Armstrong and Norrey Price, three now members, wore introduced to the Rotarians, They were seated at the head table.I There were only two guests present.R.B.Gainie, of Montreal, and Lieut.R.Giauthier, BRIEFLETS J.W.Blake 8G Queen St\tSherbrooke Que young Americans with such courage and resourcefulness are fighting our country\u2019s battle against the ag-,,\t\u201e\t, ,\t,.\t.gressor nations.You, Mrs.McKin- 4 ^ aV'rt 1\tm+f vgvr°fr ïe non, have every reason to share that Sat Aft Club held m the Y M.C A ,\t\u2019 ^ 5fication> Crossley Lougheed was elected Sec-\t& K;T,rprpiv retary-Treasurer of the club and.\tr\tr Gordon Budning was elected Vice-j p^5®£-JCenn\u20acy\u2019Ll6Ut'Ge™ra\u201d President.Both are old club mem-j ^'onlnlr 1Jor:anue.___________ the home of the Secretary, Norman Tracey, 71 Portland Avenue.Thk is the first meeting that this Board I has held for gome time and it k _\t-\tJohn E.Nelson, 41 Quebec Street, hoped that all the members will ren Forbes, David Haffenden, Austin !

Mr.Valenti said that there was aj ' much larger number of persons who had policies on which they paid weekly or monthly premiums than I any other kind of policy.Using ; .statistics to prove his point, he said | that the number of industrial poli-i cies was about, five million, while ; those holding the ordinary policies amounted to about half that number.| Mr.Valenti went on to say that the , weekly premium policies were the 1 only kind which families with restricted revenues could afford to pay ;and .still obtain adequate protection.He continued by citing the case of a typical wage-earner of Canada and the kind of insurance which ¦ would give him the best guarantee ! of proper security, j Mr.Valenti said that the industrial policies were the only ones j which low-revenue families could | afford.Another advantage of the ; industrial or weekly-premium policy ! was that it required no rigid medical examinations such as arc required by person?who drew out the ordinary policy.Greatest advantage of the weekly-premium policy was the fact that a man who is unable to save enough money weekly to pay for the premi-I urns on an ordinary policy, could, ; nevertheless, assure himself of some kind of security by investing in a Ismail industrial, whereas if he had I to depend on the ordinary policies, ! he would be unable to have any protection whatsoever.Mr.Valenti ended his address by supplying other strong arguments to support his convictions that industrial policies were more beneficial to the small wage-earner.The speaker was introduced by If.Boire and thanked by S.H.Gal-linger.The meeting was under the chairmanship of the President, J.E.Caron.One new member, J.was welcomed to the organization and a greeting was also extended to Maurice Gingucs, M.P., who was a guest at the meeting.At next month\u2019s meeting, the an-| nual election of the association offi-Icers will be elected.INSURANCE Fire, Automobile.Liability, etc.Sun Life Bldg., Sherbrooke, Phones: 2951 - 2950 Night and Holiday Calls: Sherbrooke 1542W jmmm MYRA THEATRE RICHMOND Tues., Wed., Thurs., November I6-17-18th \u201cLET\u2019S Boh Hope - FACE IT\u201d - Hetty Hutton LETTER FROM OVERSEAS\u201d News and Cartoon CLIP THESE COAL TIPS I Close Bedroom Door If you open your bedroom windows Association at night, put a rug or blanket over j the radiator or close the register, C.Poulin, and shut your bedroom door.J.S.Mitchell & Co.LIMITED Have a Coca-Cola=Hello, Friend,\u2019round the world period being accepted as members.Among those present at the meeting were David Turnbull, Gordon j Budning, Crossley Lougheed, War- ELECTED SECRETARY «Minus TIME r.i .or how to make friends at home or abroad Overseas, as at home, it\u2019s the little things that make friends for out soldier.He shares his home-ways with those he meets.Coca-Cola, for instance.When he meets up with \u201cCoke\u201d abroad, hemeets an old pal.Have a\u2018\u2018Coke,\" he says to a stranger, and he\u2019s made a new friendj Coca-Colastands for the pause that refreshes\u2014 the mark of friendliness; ^ \u201c co c accola*\u2019\tJ.H.BRYANT LIMITED /run HF nyCk 1 Phone 299 SHERBROOKE \u2014the _ high-sigU '4.SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1943, JSIîerbruoke paib Herorb [own initiative, or after consultation with the Com-i mittee as a whole, the French authorities were | greatly to blame for not taking counsel with the ; British political representatives in the Middle East Eastern Townships\u2019 Only English Daily The Oldest Daily in the District.Established Ninth Day of February, 1897, with which !
