West was quits sun from the aourse of ploy that South had started with only one diamond. and ii-leicforrho realised it wouldba mtile to lead a second card of that suit. Instead, he casually laid down the aca and a low spade. South we! naturally afraid to finesse for the spade queen. He put up the king. because he counted on discarding his own last spade on lurnmyﬁ clubs. When, however, South led a club to the ace, West ruffed the trick and triumphantly cashed the spade queen to set the contract,

lord Alexander. now Governor- General of Osnada. tells of the IMO-mile desert advance which Olldrttlthe threat to Egypt and of the ‘lunisian campaign which was “an unusually complete example of the battle of annihilation" in s dispatch sent to the BrltishWar Office in May last year and now released.

When. on May 'i‘. 1043. United States troops entered Bizerta and British troops entered ‘Danie.- Rommslb African army was fin- ished and the way was clear for the invasion cf Sicily.

"Never before had a. great army been so totally destro ." Lord Alexander declared. "A quarter of a million men laid down their urns in uhcondtllonsl surrender: 863 escaped. Immense stocks of arms.» ammunition and supplies of all natures were the booty o! the victors. Our own casualties in the final bsttio were lea than 2,000 men.‘

Ion! Alexander describes ﬁts ‘Tunisian campaign and the sweep across Gyrenaics. and Libya which preceded it as “the first wholly sucoeuful campaign. against the

Axis." The Turning Iolnt

Hitler's luck. began to run out in lkypt in September, 1942, Lord Alexander says. The turning point was the battle of Alam El Haifa. even though it was Field Marshal Manuel's battle. y

This was ‘the German Afrita Corps edfort to break through Bri- tain's Middle East defences before war materiel from the United States began arriving in quantity.

Up to that‘ time the enemy was

setting the pace. The crucial bat- tle of El Alamsin. only 60 miles from Alexandria. still was to be fougittf In that battle. "Desert Fox" Rommel met crushing de- feat. v

lord Alexander says the weight of the Unftod Mates was bed“- ning to be felt at the time. Sher- man tanks were arriving at Suez.

The battle of El Alamcin began Oct. 33. before the Allied landing in Northwest Africa. It opened the campaign in which m; enemy ultimately was encpelled from Af- rica in May. 1M3.

Rommel Tricked

Lord Alexander disclosed how FielrlMarshal Rommel was fool- ed in the Battle of El Alameir. The ‘battle began Oct. Z3. and was the beginning of the Al- lied offensive that swept the "de- sert fox" and his Africa. Corps out of North Alfrica.

lord Aexander said the front in August, 104d. was like a door hinged at the sca at Ill Alamem and extending into the desert. The door might have been push- ed open at the southern end but it was decided to strike it at the hinge, he said. The problem was to deceive the Germans as to where the blow would fall. More than 100 dummy vehicles were placed over tanks to hide the real concentrations from Ger- man obsr-rvltion. Other dununy tanks were placed in s. manner to indicate -cpnccntratlons were be- ing made far south of ErAlamcin. A dummy pipeline of old gaso- line drums was built into the de- sert towardthe southern end of the line. Dummy fuel reservoirs. pumping stations and mock eup- ply dumps were established. To make the set-up more baff- ling, fake messages were broad- cast io confuse the enemy- intelli-

gence service. _ . . This elaborate deception was substantially eucce ul, L o r d

German Leaps To Death In Prison-

NUERNBERG. Feb. s_(Ap)_ German Gen. Johannes Blacko- wltz committed suicide today by leaping from the top catwalk of the Nucrnberg Prison s short time before he was to go on trial for war crimes.

Hls death did not delay the trial of l3 of his co-delendantv-— all of them former German mili- tary leaders. They were escorted into a United States tribunal to answer charges of crimes against pteyaco and crimes against human-

Tho 04-year-old Blaakowitz broke sway from a. fllC of prison- ers on one of the high runways surrounding the prison rotunda. With surprising nlmbleness he clambered up a seven-foot wire fence. Then. as the guards wat- ched helplessly, he threw himself over the fence hurtling 30 feet to a tile floor. ,

He was tho l'l.ll'll.|l\pUlSDll0l' to tcke his life in the Nuernberg Prison. Among the others were Herman Gearing; former Nazi labor boss. and Dr. Leonard Gonti, accused founder of an inhuman medical experiment program.

The streeh and roadways in and ardund the Village by the see are kept, in excellent coudl- tlon by frequent visits of the snow plow. much to the satisfac- tion of motorists and bus drucrs.

Measles an epidemic which is almost sure to appear at this ses- son of the year is now going the rounds, several children being ab- sent from school on this account in this village.

An interesting game of hockey took placo at Victoria Rink. Tues- day night, February 2nd between the Tryon Arrows and the CPI)» sud Hecrtbreakers. ending in s. .score 4-4. A good crowd was in attendance and as usual an ‘even- ing of cndoyzncnt was had.

Mrs. Stewart Ionian. Victoria, entertained several of the ladies of the village at her home recent- ly at a quilting party when s. lovely quilt for the Orphanage at Mount Herbert was made. Tliese ladies who are all expert needle women are‘ to be commended for their unceasing efforts along this line. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess and a social time had_by all present.

Friends of Mrs. Bertha. Mas- Quarrle, Victoria. are pleased to learn she is much improved after a recent stay of one week in the Prince County Hospital. Summer- side where she was receiving treatment.

_ Amongst those attending the Presbytcrisl held 1n Summersids recently were Mrs. L. D. Mas:- Leod. representing tho Women's Missionary Society; Mrs. Keith Boswell and Mrs. Evan Wright from the Evening Auxiliary of the W.M.S. and Mrs. Allison Lea from‘ the Mission Band.

Fire, that devastating and hor- rifying clement again visited the village of Victoria. and leveled to the ground the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Macbeod. 131s lire which is supposed to have started from an overheated stove had gained considerable headway before being noticed by Mrs. MacLeod who with her two young children had barely time to make their escape to a next door neighbors to give the alnm. By the time the village folk had gathered the house was a. mass of flames. consequently only a very' few articles consisting of the kit-l chen range and an electric washer could be saved. The house which had been re-modclled and fitted with electric lights quite recently is a severe loss to this, young couple. The fire happening as it did around the noon hour and on a very calm day lessened tho anxiety for the safctyof the near- by residences. However the friend- ly Cropaud Fire Brigade stood by until all danger was past, this. being the second time they had been called into action to the Village by the Bea inside two. montas, this being the second re- sidence to be destroyed by fire.‘ Mr. MacLcod was away from home
