It's like the weather—everybody talks about it, but Is anybody doing anything? What abcut each of us as individual-? Are we refusing to pay outrageous prices for things w» can do without? Are we refusing to squander another led cent? Are we putting every loose dime and dollar into War Bonds? The tight against inflation is the major homefront battle now. Our soldiers cannot tight it for us; we shall be ungrateful weaklings if we lose it through indifference. Chaotic inflation would ruin all the well-considered plans tor postwar production, post-war job*, postwar prosperity. Its devastation would spare no one of us.— Van Wert Times-Bulletin. O—o Time To Think: We know and shudder at our losses on the war fronts. There is nothing we are not willing to do to back our tightens in the Held, in the air and on the sea.

Here I had my first contact with the outside world -when the Swiss del-gate visited us and I learned of Tokyo friends.

JoJy was turned to sorrow In August of 1942. when, after preparations to leave for America,, the visit of the Crlpshclm was abruptly cancelled. "At the end of August we were called into t-he office and told that we muni leave for America in three days. 1 had never applied for evacuation as I felt I wanted to stand by my little flock and now work in Ku;i as long as possible.

Aluminum Output Slash Proceeding Stockpile Adequate For Military Needs Washington. Jan. 5. — (UPt The WPB to proceeding with its current cut-back of the aluminum prcduction program. Authorities say the reason for slash is that aluminum now has been stockpiled to an extent sufficient to meet present and anticipated military needs. When the cut back Is completed In about iff days, an estimated 3.000 workers will be available to other Industries. However, president Nicolas Zonarich of the Aluminum Workers of America charges the WPB with deliberately perpetuating an aluminum shortage. The WPB has not commented on the charges. The present improved situation in aluminum does not forecast an Immediate deluge of pots and pans. It is true that relaxation of restrictions on the use of aluminum in some Industrial products has already been ordered.

THEIITTIE BARKED,

SYNOPSIS Helen Turner arrived in North Harbor, Maine, en route to the nearby Fern Cove summer theatre, where her first play ia to be given a try-out. prior to Its Broadway opening. An ancient jalopy finally arrived at the station, driven by Old Mack, handyman at Fern Cove, who said that the Kilborns, managers of the inn and theatre, had forgotten she was coming. Fem Cove is jointly owned by wealthy Burns Loring, scenic designer; hie sister, Mrs. Parris; andplsywrights Ames Alden and George Vickery. Helen recalls that her collaborator, Stuart Amrose, had quarreled with Alden and Vickery. To her surprise, Old Mack drives past the trim-looking inn and theatre, finally depositing her before a dilapidated building. Helen’s anger mounted when she beheld the shabby rooms which Ada, maid-of-aii-work at Fern Cove, was preparing for her •nd actress Linda Barolle. Ada explained this old inn was called the "dog-house” because the owners put unwelcome guests there. Helen confronts the Kilborns and agrees to pay the exorbitant rate demanded for a suite in the new inn. though it will not be available until the following day. At the Snack Hutch, she overhears Alden and Vickery trying to talk one of the actors into "sabotaging" her play. She realizes her only allies are the two young people coming from New York-Orne Paulsen, leading man and Linda Barolle, Ingenue and ward of het New York producer, Tyler McVane. Heading for the old inn, she passes a large house and notices some people on the Krch eyeing her sharply. A small rking dog dashes at her but Helen pats him into friendliness. CHAPTER SEVEN 1 stood up straight again, said loudly: "Run along home now. doggie. Tell your master to send a big fellow next time,” and walked on. But the spitz didn’t go. He eame with me. Now trotting at my side, now running ahead with joyous yelps and eapers. He also turned back with me, until I stopped at the gate from which he had rushed at me. • “This ia where we part, Mr. Spitz,” I told him firmly. “Go on in, home—seat!” The dog whined in answer. Stood at the gate, one paw raised questioningly. for a moment. And then was beside me again. So close I was afraid of stepping on him. Nuzzling me, barking, whimpering. It was as if he were trying to tell me something. Someone did it for him. A little nearer the theatre, I heard old Mack's voice bailing me from a barnlike building in back of it: the scenery shed. “Hey, Miss Turner! - he called, coming towards me through the high grass, boisterously wel-otned by the little dog. “Glad t’see you make friends with Stray.“ “whose dog is he and who lives ia the big house with the ramblenr I asked all ia oce breath, over the spitxian din. “The Parrises. But they dent own him. He only goes visiting there,” old Mack said, fondling the dog. “Nobody owns Stray. Or maybe I do, good's anyone.

The Canadians are steadily pushing toward the Port of Pescara, eight miles beyond. Across the peninsula, the fifth army has hammered out another one mile advance over the mountains of central Italy. Allied infantrymen have forced their way —yard by bloody yard —up a 2.300foot slope northeast of San Vittore. They have seized three key heights overlooking that German bastion, which guards the approaches to Casslno. barely 10 miles to the northwest. Allied airmen also have swung into action in the Mediterranean theater. They struck as Major General Nathan Twining, a veteran of the Pacific, took command of the 14th air force from Major General Jimmy Doolittle. As Doolittle left for England to join the invasion staff. Twining said: "We are certainly going ahead with the war from here. We are going to put the heat on them and keep pouring it on." They poured It on yesterday with attacks against railway targets 30 miles south of Sofia. Bulgaria.

May come in handy. Never know what them polecats — you know who I mean—will cook up.” I said. “Thank you, Mack. You and Ada are very kind to me. I wouldn’t have found out so soon what I'm up against, without your help." And he said: “Aw, that's nothing, ma’am. Glad to oblige them that's in th® right.” Then I walked on.
