GAZETTE AND COMMERCIAL MATTOON, ILLINOIS SATURDAY, JOLT I THE DAILY JOURNAL- SALES OF WAR BONDS LAG Sales of War Savings Bonds -in the July drive on the west side of Coles county are lagging far behind the quota, Chairman J. Stanley Weis said today in the wake of a meeting of the local War Finance Committee. Means of pushing sales were discussed Thursday at the committee meeting at the Association of Commerce office, Mr. Weis said. "Too many buyers apparently are waiting for a special campaign to make their purchases of bonds," Mr.

Weis said. "We are glad. to have the purchases during particuJar drives, 50 we can reach our quotas, but it is equally important that we reach our goal each month. For that reason, purchasers should buy regularly." At the time of Friday's meeting, sales amounted to $55,872. This is approximately $67,000 short of the goal of $123,450.

The committee voted to send Miss M. M. Lewis, head of the local women's organization, and her assistant, Mrs. J. J.

Foley, to a regional conference -of women chairmen in Cleveland, O. The conference is to be held Monday and Tuesday, July 26 and 27. 0. K. EXPANSION OF TEACHERS COLLEGES Springfield, (INS) -Expansion of five colleges has been approved by the State Teachers College Board, Chairman Frank G.

Thompson said today. One change provides for an elective five-year plan to obtain a degree of master of science in education. The present four-year course leading to the degree of bachelor of education will be continued. The five-year course will be a planned one and not simply an added year to the regular four-year course, he said. Also approved, Thompson said, was resolution to permit the Southern Illinois Normal University at Carbondale to proceed under legislation recently signed by Gov.

Dwight Green. This legislation permits granting of liberal arts and science degrees but bars work leading to degrees in numerous professions. Another resolution adopted provides that tuition in the new courses at Carbondale shall be $20 plus additional fees per term for senior college and liberal arts work. The board also approved a plan already in operation in most of the teachers' colleges that permits granting of a diploma in junior college work on completion of two years' work and credits as at the teachers' colleges. Heretofore students completing the proper courses in two years have been, given two years' credit at the state university and other universities.

ANDREWS LUMBER R.A.F. AGAIN OVER ITALY BY LEO. DOLAN (I. N. S.

Staff Correspondent) London -Powerful R. A. F. bombing squadrons roared over northern Italy and Germany Friday night to blast switching stations in the Fascist mainland and military objectives at Munich, so-called cradle of the Nazt party. A communique issued by the British air ninistry, revealed that transformer switching stations in northern Italy were pounded.

by the big bombers at the same time as wooden Mosquito raiders were blasting the Munich area. Hardly had the heavy warplanes returned -to their bases from their. twin-pronged assault upon the two Axis powers when other Allied bombing formations droned out over the channel in the direction of the Somme area of France. The night attacks came on the heels of a raid on the Abbeville railway yards in northern France which marked the debut of American medium bombers in this theater and carried forward the -stop Allied air offensive. The American planes were escorted in their initial operation by flights of United States, British and Dominion fighters.

Friday night's attack on northern Italy was viewed as part of the strategic battle for Sicily, an attempt to hamper still further the transport of troops and war materials and to wreak havoc among industrial installations. SIGNS BILLS TO EASE STATE LABOR LAWS Springfield, Ill. -(INS) -Relaxation of the women's eight-hour day law and the six-day week act for employers engaged- in war production was legalized today with signing by' Gov.

The third bill creates a war labor 'standards advisory board to grant such permits. This board comprises four representatives of employes, four representatives of employers and the state labor director. The measures were passed by the General Assembly in its closing hours after a long fight, the C. I.

0. supporting the bills, and the A. F. of L. opposing them.

of the offensive. Six Sicilian airdromes virtually were but of commission prior to the Allied landings on July 10, milItary leaders disclosed, and the invaders had control of the air absolute control from the Start: of the drive. Although most airdromes in the central part of the island most likely can be considered inoperative, military observers commented, many in southern Sicily, captured by our forces, already are in use or shortly will become operative. Ailied commanders had anticipated aerial warfare comparable to that encountered in North Africa and perhaps as terrific as that at the time of the battle of Britain, but instead invasion troops have landed practically unmolested and tempting targets afforded by hundreds of invasion craft have been ignored.

N. S. Staff Correspondent) With U. 8. Forces, Enroute to Sicily, July 9 (Delayed) Six months after President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill thrilled the world with their Casablanca conference, it can now be told that the two United Nations leaders decided at their.

meeting there to invade Sicily. After a thorough study of milltary and political conditions in the enemy countries and such questions of global strategy as Russian demands for a "second front," the two statesmen set as their immediate objective knocking Italy out of the war. The capture of Sicily was set as the first step toward that objective and now, as this is written, we are speeding to attain that initial aim. The intervening months were spent in preparations of such magnitude as to make this war the biggest business the United States has ever known. Nearly everybody working in an American war plant -as well as military, naval and civilian government workers has contributed to these preparations.

Fruits of these labors will become tangible when the guns start spitting tomorrow, the next day, and the one after. At the time of the Casablanca conference, the African situation. was not too bright, but we had forces enroute to insure eventual victory and make planning possible. It is safe to assume that the subsequent Washington conferences resulted in planning other offensives to follow the Sicilian invasion. Chicago Produce.
