Aug. 2 Lacking any incentive in either war or grain news, wheat, oats and rye drifted rather aimlessly today, although generally maintaining a firm undertone. Wheat was a little less steady than oats or rye. Mill buying in the bread cereal pit, which had given wheat good support toward the end of last week, appeared to have dried up. Hedging pressure was slight.

Near the end of the first hour wheat was 1f lower, oats 3s higher and rye up about '4. LOCAL MARKETS Oat? Wheat Kyp Pu. kwhpst Pea Bra Canada J'jrM 1.1VKTII( Good i 4 1 i i A--. ir I V- I '1 i -V B- i i Mom 'u-i 4- r-. i I M'c V'b niSn- 1 A 7 Na-It K-y.

Saturday, to have placed on the ballot for the city election, Nov. 2, a proposal providing for the election of a charter revision committee. Voters will also ballot in the same election for members who will serve on the committee if the committee is authorized at the election. The revision committee would then prepare recommendations for a later election when the matter of revision would come before the voters for acceptance or rejection. No review of the charter has been made since its adoption more than 20 years ago, and although at that time it was considered modern, the Town Hall members now feel that a careful review at least is worth while at this time.

2 With tents camouflaged in true army style. 200 members of the Civilian Air patrol, conducted overnight maneuvers Saturday and Sunday at the Hart airport here. Members of the Port Huron squadron 6326, Detroit Hartung squadron and some state squadrons participated in the maneuvers which were the first to be held in this part of the state. Twenty-two land planes arrived at the airport Saturday afternoon and night. Sea planes, which were scheduled to land in Lake Huron, at Lexington, were unable to clear Detroit and that part of the maneuvers had to be canceled.

The units, which are self sustaining, erected tents in the woods adjoining the airport. The camp was complete with a kitchen and first aid tent. The airplanes, which were staked down for the night, and the tents were guarded during the night by members of the patrol on guard duty. Capt. J.

i sugar beet acreage no larger jthan this year's, the industry al- ready is urging western congress-jmen to intercede with the War iFood Administration for a hearing before any acreage goals were determined. Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat. Wyoming, has protested to Food Administrator Marvin Jones against a tentative quota set at 660.000 tons, which, he says, is the lowest acreage since 1922. The amount, he says, approximates this year's harvested acreage.

Representatives White. Democrat, Idaho, and O'Connor, Democrat. Montana, also have objected to the low quota, all three emphasizing the relationship of sugar beet production to the livestock industry, which, they contend, needs the tops and pulp to meet "an alarming emergency" in feed supplies. White was told by agriculture department officials that the industry would be heard shortly after Labor day, when the matter will be opened for general discussion. CONTINUE From Page One LJ SIM alone The majority were Nazis, giving the Americans their largest bag of Germans.

Both American and Canadian forces were battling through high ground frequently reaching an altitude of 2.500 feet, studded with German machine-gun positions and covered by Axis heavy artillery. The capture of San Stefano put the Americans in full control of a major road running from there southward through Nicosia and gave then a strategic artery for quick transport of troops and guns through the vital north central region. This news followed Sunday's announcement that the Americans had captured nine towns and possibly turned the Axis north flank. Axis reports said strong American forces were veering southeastward from central Sicily supporting the British drive, and a Rome broadcast said Montgomery was "methodically nearing" Catania. Montgomery, in a personal message to hi.s troops reminiscent of those which preceded his great of-sensives in North Africa, said the Allies had knocked Mussolini "off his perch," and "we will now drive the Germans from Sicily.

His message was dated July 30. A great push by Montgomery has been expected for nearly a week, and he has been probing the line for soft spots in the manner in which he customarily feels out the enemy while massing his own forces. Like Tunisia Concerted drives by Montgomery and Patton would parallel the strategy employed in Tunisia. American torpedo boats incessantly patrolled the northern coastal waters in search of armed enemy lighters and British cruisers and destroyers were slipping tighter tne naval noose to choke off Axis reinforcements. Today's Allied announcement also belatedly confirmed the fall of Nissoria and Assora in the central sector just before Canadian-won Agira.

Both target areas at Naples and Capodichino were "well covered by bomb bursts," the headquarters communique stated, and eight Axis planes were shot down in aerial battles. Allied naval forces bombarded the Italian harbor of Vibo Valen-tina Marina, above the toe of Italy, a railway bridge across the river Oliva 22 miles to the north and the harbor of Crotone in actions from Saturday night through early Sunday, a naval communique announced today. "Two good fires were started in the harbor (of Crotone) and two patrol craft were sunk," the communique said. "Retaliatory fire from the shore was ineffective." Crotone, an Ionian sea port on the sole of Italy's boot, had been heavily bombarded by a British fleet in mid-July. "American naval forces are rendering effective support by their gunfire for the advance of the (U.S.) Seventh army along the road of the north coast of Sicily," the communique said.

"To the north and northwest of Sicily American P-T boats continue their offensive operations against the enemy." (The Italian high command admitted "considerable damage" and listed 10 persons killed and 63 injured at Naples. It said five Allied raiders were shot down.) Other Allied planes ranged ahead of the attacking ground troops In Sicily, with medium bombers hammering the port of Milazzo, used to bring in Axis reinforcements, and other planes hitting the vital communications centers of Adrano and Randazzo in the diminishing Axis bridgehead. Five enemy planes were shot down and one Allied plane was lost in all operations, headquarters said. The steady American advance along the north coast of Sicily continued. While their British and Canadian allies to the south found slow going against sturdy defenses dug in at the ba.se of Mt.

Etna and along the fringe of the Catania plain, the Americans advanced swiftly in a two-day drive forcing the Germans to order a general withdrawal to take up new positions on high ground. Latest reports placed American forces at Castel Di Tusa on the Tyrrhenian sea coast and at Motta. Pettineo and Cartel Di Lucio in the interior. The position at Castel Di Tusa was under heavy fire from German Mr. and Mrs.

"71. Croswell Canning Plant Will Open Aug. Help Needed Croswell. Aug 2 Although the response to pleas for help made by the V. R.

Roach Canning company here have been very good, more help is needed. Loyd P. DuMond, plant manager said today. The packing of the 1943 late pea crop will start at the factory here Wednesday morning, Mr. DuMond said, and in order to save the crop additional help is needed.

Applicants may call at the Croswell office. The factory will operate on the usual schedule of canning until all daily shipments are taken care of. The schedule practically amounts to 20 to 24-hour shifts. There was no early pea crop this year because of the inability of farmers to get on their land because of the wet weather. However, the late crop of peas show prospects of being a good harvest, Mr.

DuMond said. Vineries are being operated in Snover, Germania. Peck arf4 Hill. The complete pack is under consignment to the United States government. Indirect taxes are very high in Britain.

More than half the price of a pint of beer goes in tax. Twenty cigarettes cost 47 cents, of which 37 cents is tax. On a $1.20 seat at a movie house. 51 cents is tax. On an income of $4,000, a married man with two children would pay about $400 in indirect tax, in addition to $1,600 ifi direct tax.

The barrage was described as one of the heaviest of the entire Sicilian campaign and civilians in the coastal town were forced to take shelter in a tunnel. Bitter Resistance The American advance was over extremely rough terrain and the Axis defenders were apparently taking advantage of every elevated point, bitterly contesting each thrust before giving way. Units of the Seventh army pushing forward from Nicosia in the interior were threatening Troina, a vital Axis communications junction.

11 miles away. At the southeastern end of the Allied line the British still were hammering away against what was described as "very strong resistance." A delayed dispatch Sunday revealed that the British and Canadians bad driven across a river Friday capturing an unidentified town and gaining control of a road junction "opening routes to the northeast and northwest." The main striking power of the Canadian drive apparently was centered in the vicinity of Regal-buto, about 10 miles directly south of Troina. The Axis, meanwhile, was reported bringing in reinforcements and quantities of supplies across the narrow strait of Messina from the Italian mainland, although Allied air forces were actively attacking the Messina bridgehead, shipping in the strait, and motorized transport on the island. Other African-based bombers attacked Reggio Calabria, key port on the toe of Italy, over the week-end. The Axis base at Biancavilla was attacked heavily and a 60-truck motor convoy was strafed.

Adrano. northwest of Catania, also was attacked and three road junction were damaged badly. Much of the Allied bombing was concentrated on knocking out Axis artillery which has been holding up the advance. Notable was the fact that German reaction to Allied advances usually swift and heavy air and artillery attacks was reported to be of minor consequence. A andmother at 31 is Mrs.
