CHEEK ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Laurence A. Riker announce the engagement of their daughter, Helena Palmer to Lieutenant A. Lawrence Cheek Field Artillery Reserves, son of the late Mr.

Cheek and Mrs. Cheek of Chapel Hill, N. Miss Riker attended the College of New Rochelle, New York, and Is a graduate of Mary Baldwin Through the effort of the Staunton-Augusta county chamber of commerce and the Shenandoah Valley Regional Defense council, a number of the smaller manufacturing flrms iri Augusta, Rockingham, and Shenandoah counties have secured defense orders so that they might continue operation and not have to close because of priorities. Finley Tynes, secretary and business manager of the chamber and executive officer of the defense council, of which General Perry L. Miles Is chairman, said that during the latter part of last year a comprehensive survey of machinery and tools was made of every plant In Staunton and Augusta county.

Survey Complimented This was turned over to the office of production management in Washington, first as a written report and then later submitted to it by a committee from here. The OPM was highly complimentary of the way in which the survey was conducted in this county by the chamber of commerce, said Mr. Tynes. This year another tri-county survey, including Augusta, Rockingham, and Shenandoah, was conducted by the defense council, and still later a survey including all twelve counties in the council was made. The survey Includes comprehensive listing of ail machinery and tools in the plants surveyed.

These are turned over to the purchasing agencies of the army, navy, and the office of production management. After study by these departments to ascertain just -what kind of work can be handled by each concern, subcontracts are let out. Other Contracts Given First small concern In this area to get a defense order was Braden and VanFossen to manufacture brads. The completion of this order was followed by another, and at the present this concern is handling defense orders for the Wayne Manufacturing Co. of Waynesboro, which has ninety-eight per cent of its work going into defense channels.

Other concerns throughout the Valley are also getting the benefit of this work, said Mr. Tynes. The matter of bidding is much less strict than heretofore, due to the fact larger plants could easily underbid the smaller ones. Articles turned out by small concerns include nuts, bolts, brads, machine-gun mountings, ram-rods for rifles, searchlight and tank parts, etc. Only the larger or less intricate parts are manufactured, those that in some cases can be stamped out or turned out on a rough lathe.

It is believed, commented Mr. Tynes, that had it not been for these surveys, made not only In this area but throughout the country, more than 20,000 of the smaller concerns would have had to close their doors. Few of them were on defense work, therefore could not get a very high priority rating. 0 JUDGE CROSBY IS SPEAKER AT KIWANIS CLUB As guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis club here today, Judge Florldus S.

The custodian commented that Senator Guffey, on a recent visit, expressed the hope that something could be done on the war-time President's anniversary through the combined efforts of everyone. She added, however, that she "guessed the war had taken everyone's mind off everything but the war." Due to the fact the birthplace is closed on Sunday, there were no visitors. In Washington, Col.

PRESiwT GIVES PLEDGE TO ISLANDS WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (JPy President Roosevelt pledged to the war-scoured people of the Philippines today that "their freedom will be redeemed and their independence established and protected." "The entire resources, in men and material of the United States stand behind that pledge," the President At almost the same time that the short wave radio broadcast the President's personal message to the Filipinos, the navy issued a statement saying the fleet was intensively engaged against the Japs. "The fleet is not idle," the navy said. "The United States navy is following an intensive and well-planned campaign against the Japanese forces which will result in positive assistance to the defense of the Philippine islands." In connection with the President's message, Stephen Early, Mr.

Roosevelt's secretary, commented that it might take time for ample aid to reach the Philippines on account of the long distances involved and remarked that in a military sense, distances many times are synonymous with time measurements. In response to a question as to whether Mr. Roosevelt's use of the word "redeem" indicated that the Chief Executive felt that the islands might be lost temporarily, Early replied, "I shouldn't think so, no." The President arranged a relatively light schedule for the day, making separate appointments with Dr. Alexander Loudon, the Netherlands minister, and Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the United States fleet.

As Mr. Roosevelt's message was made public, Domei already was anticipating victory. The official Japanese news agency reported that the Mikado's expeditionary forces on Luzon were concentrating their main efforts on capturing Manila "before New Year's." The Domel occasioned no great surprise here, for it is well known that the Japanese seek to have their victories fall on important festivals and New Year's is Japan's greatest holiday. It was noted that the Japanese were able to time their conquest of Hongkong to coincide with Christmas the day which marks the anniversary of the present Emperor's accession. 0 NO LOSS OF LIFE QUETTA, India, Dec.
