The bls Job Is being speedily and splendidly done In Adams county. —o—o—- — Democrats have renominated .Mayor Kelly for another tarm and Republicans chose George McKibbin. a pal of Governor Green. Both won easily and the Democrats cast twlcf ao many votes as the G.O.P. Kelly has served ten years and will run on his record. O—O America is not too bu*y to stop occasionally and give women a big hand for the part that they are playing in the war. Th*y are doing all sorts of jobs and are doing them well. There will be many more women in war industry before the end of this year and th-y can be counted on for maximum roMlta —Fort Wayne Journal Gasttte. -0 A go vet rnient report says that the average automobile, when dismantled for scrap, yields pound* of Iron and steel, 39 poundr of copper, six pounds of aluminum and to pounds of reclaimable rubber.

If you have room of course you can raise potatoes, onions, turnips and other vegetables that can be stored for winter. A garden In 1943 will surely produce at a profit and will give you what you want when you want R. —o The Waves will soon tie rollnlg I over the beautiful campus at Indi- ' ana University. The Bloomington school now has a capacity of 1.200 naval trainee* every four months. Half of these are men The change ; to naval women's reserve training exclusively will be made gradually. | No more classes of men will be admitted and as each of the three classes now in training graduates. | I women's clauses will replace them. The transfer will be completed by June 7th. Captain William Mullan ; of Winchester, Mass., will be the , new commanding officer at the | school. He recently returned from | the South Pacific, where he was | wounded in action. —o—o We don't believe the average person In the mid west Is over optimistic about the war being over. Ho who feels that way certainly hasn't given the matter much serious thought. To be sure Russia is , making gains. We have driven the | Japs out of Guadalcanal. The British and American flying forces are : hammering from the air. There is j no doubt we are on the offensive hut victory is probably far away. I The Axis is strong aud they are : preparing for every emergency,, they will not be easily defeated on ; their own ground-. Those who talk , about peace by May Ist or any other stated date are aiding the enemy. It's impossible to predict what the next few months will bring or bow long the wars will continue. —o— There Is a terrible war iu pro-, gress or rather a half dozen wars ’ all rolled Into one. There la nothing to prevent us from "squawking” | each lime a new order is made for ( the purpose of helping to bring, victory as soon as possible. but it's , foolish. The better we all pull together. the greater our unity, the earlier will be the date when we can all be happy that we did every thing we could to preserve America and liberty. Even Senator Taft, who never by the wildest stretch of imagination, has been termed a friend of the administration, but who is a good American, sees the light and advises Republicans in congress to be careful of their criticisms and their votes. It’S wise advice that ought to be followed. O—O— Kindness To Cars: Some cities are adopting a "Be Kind to Autos Week " It Is a timely and generous gesture, especially in the colder areas of the country. One city's automobile club reports that It recently had to rescue fi.OOfi stalled cars. Many cars that are used little, or not at all. need a good deal of care if the owners count on using them again. Recently in beattie and there shouts a sudden cold spell cracked the cylinder blocks of hundreds of cars which Wern not protected by adequate antii freest mixtures, causing almost as much trouble as if a hostile army bad swept through.
