Charter Members of The Indiana League of Home Dallies It looks liki the weather man has forsaken liie job and joined the Marines. —o Herr Hitler baa reappointed himself premier -i Germany for a sev-en-year t< rm. He may have trouble h iding out that long. —o Hardens and flowers not under water are growing these days and a"few days of sunshine will do wonder*. Don't be too discouraged. Things are s'.ldom as bad us tbey seem. —o Help the American Legion boys put the May quota over. They are sponsoring the campaign and deserve your support. Huy an extra on . It will be good for you and for every one else. The Japs have held Attu ten days against the onslaught of the Yanka, indicating that tiny are any thing but a pushover. They are stubborn fighters who prefer death to surrender and our boys will find It any thing but an easy job to defeat them until Tokyo and other supply cities have been put out of action. Air raid wardens and auxiliary police crews of the civilian defense organ ixat ion got a real workout during the flood and demonstrated their ability to meet emergencies. They moved a number of families from Belmont Dark area and saved most of their furniture, it was a fine performance and those who participated deserve much crudil. —o It looks like the Uuml lax plan to forgive a year's taxes is really buried. Following the announcement by the pre-ident that be could not approve the measure which be said would impose heavy burd* ns on the middle and lower classes, the bouse refused to send the measure to confer* nee with instructions to accept the senate bill. The vote wan to IM. —o Congressman laimbertson of Kansas the man who attacked the war record of the Roosevelt boys —now discovers he is living it: a glass house. His son Milan, appealed from his local draft board as a conscientious objector. His dad. seeing the political dangers In volved has persuaded him to withdraw it and be has quit ev< a referring to the president s sons. —o Saturday will be May 22nd and our attention has been called to the fact that sixty years ago that day a foot of snow fell in this locality. Old timers remember of going to school with the sun shining brightly and returned home that evening with snow covering every thing. So all the unusual weather freaks are not occurring this year as we may be mciuwd to

Indiana Is the second state In the United States to reach Its quota of model airplanes made by high school sludents for government use, and the flrst state to report Its quota exceeded. Montana won flrst place In meeting its quota. Indiana was assigned a total of 15,000 A. B, C. model airplanes to be made for use at U. 8. air training bases to teach trainees to Identify eighty different types of airplane* which are used in the war. But this total was exceeded by 2,500. —o Saturday. May 29th, will be Poppy Day and the auxiliary of Adams Post 43. American Legion, will offer the little red flowers for a silver offering from each Individual buyer. Mrs. Lloyd Kreischer is chairman and volunteer workers will assist in the distribution. The fund thus raised is used to aid the disabled soldiers and their families and the floppies this year will also honor the men who have given their lives In the second world war as well as those who fell In previous conflicts. -0 Inflation! There was not long ago a vivid example here. A well-to-do citizen died and in his safe d< p>s!t box his executors found 1,000.000 German marks. He had bought them thinking they would have ultimate value. But they turned out to be worth exactly what they would bring for waste paper. It is not easy for ue to think of th. dollar reaching the low estate of the post war German mark, yet inflation once begun might be represented by a minus sign-thus.—Cincinnati Enquirer. -0 The governor of Illinois, like the governor of Ohio, says he wants American cooperation in <«tablishInga durable peace, but ho wants no commitments. Just how we are to get that coop'ration without any commitments, the governor does wot explain. As the Chicago Sun puts it, "The sad truth seems io be that, <>n the most pressing problem confronting America today, the governor of Illinois has no Arm convictions of any sort. He is resolved to sit on that fence until hell freezes over —or until vicepresld* ntlal lightning ceases to play around the midwestern governor's heads." -0— Postwar problems will be as staggering as those of the present hour, Gov. Henry F. Scbricker said in a short talk dedicating a scroll bearing the names of 351 Indiana highway commission employes uow in the nation's armed forces. “This scroll reminds us that they will return locking for the places which they once mad, vacant, and with their return will come other prob lems. Indiana must be prepared to meet these problems. In this hour of destruction aud loss, we must make some substantial gain for the testa that lay ahead aud sen that nothing happens in America after the war is over. We must make what plans we can now." -0— Destruction of the Mohne, Borpe aud Eder dams in western Germany by the RAF Is the most disastrous blow Germany has suffered in the war. It has done what would have required weeks of bombing by thousands of planes. The dams provided power for many important industries. fed water into the canala which have become the biggest part of transportation in that country, stopped the supply of water for all purposes to many large and small cities and destruction of the dams brought on a flood that has caus'd more dsetruclicn and losses than any battle yet fought in the war. That nation is really feeling the hot breath of war ' such as she has not known in centuries. It will surely have a depressing elect on the nation's O'- — I -m Twenty Years Aao ■.— 30,1523 was Sudsy.
