Dispatches from Allied headquarters in North Africa Monday credited a Bedford young man Lt. Robt. W. Hafer, 26-with lead ing a pack of American A-36 attack bombers against the Italians in Sicily. Lt.

Hafer. son of Mrs. Nellie Hafer of Bedford, played a major rile in at-1 tacking the Italian transportation system, according to the dispatch, as follows: "Diving at 400 miles an hour A-S6 planes directed their heavi-i est attack against the 200 truck I convoy and destroyed at least 100 vehicles. The pack was led by Lt. Robert W.

Hafer, Bedford, who took his men back and forth over the trucks despite heavy enemy fire." This action took place Sunday. The Allied attacks were spearheaded by the new United States A-36 attack bomters which concentrated on truck convoys rushing men and supplies to the areas where the Axis are trying to halt American, British and Canadian troops. The constant movement of Axis trucks, trains and tanks observed from the air by Lt. Hafer and other attacking pilots led Allied officials to believe the enemy was wheeling mobile forces into position from concentration points in central Sicily. They said hammering transport facilities.

One of the local organizations has delved into the HI matter, but is isn't VX 9uit sure whether Vp' or not it can shoul-5 der all of the ex pense. Seems to Pepys that in a matter of this kind, one group shouldn't have to shoulder all of the responsibility it ought to be a community affair. Let everyone contribute, and let small contributions be as acceptable as large ones so that everyone may have the opportunity of paying tribute to the boys and girls in the service. The group that has had the matter under advisement finds that the vacant lot in the center of town seems to be the best location for the honor roll. Everett and the vicinity has contributed hundreds of boys and girls to the service and their names deserve to be displayed in a place of honor.

Let's get going! BIT A LOCAL automobile owner was worried the other Sunday for fear his car had developed straying tendencies that might take a superhuman power to cope with. The chap had an errand down on East Main Street and parked for a few minutes while he dashed Into the parental property to. chat with his father, who happened to be in the garden at the rear of the house. When he came around to the front of the house again his car just wasn't there. Again he rushed around the house to tell his father that the vehicle had disappeared.

By the time father and son got to the front of the house behold, the car was there! But, it was headed in the opposite direction from which the owner had first parked it.
