To Open Recreation Program On May 29 Worthman Field To Open In Two Weeks The city school Iward has announced the opening of Worthman Field on May 29 with school teachers Sylvester Everhart. Deane Dorwln and Gladys Chamberlain In charge A fulL recreational program will be carried out for the benefit of the boys and girls of lhe coin niunlty. The school Iward has also decid’d to cooperate fully with the city in the planning of space for a postwar swimming poo), to be built by the civil city at Worthman Held Included among the projects now listed by city officials in their postwar planning is an enlargement of the light and power plant to eliminate the necessity of purchasing of from 240.000 to 270,000 worth of current annually from the Indiana Public Service corporation. The city began buying current from outside sources when one of Ils turbines exploded two years ago and the flve-jrear contract has two yet to go. Before the end of that time, if possible, the city wishes to have a new turbine installed. L. C. Pettibone, city light and power superintendent, has stated the municipal plant would require the use of most of the water department's facilities as well as the swimming pool If the new turbine and Its accompanying boilers should be installed. Worthman field was suggested as a site for a new pool, dependent upon lhe city school board's approval. .Mr. Roop made an extensive Inspection tour of swimming pools in Indiana and Ohio and Is prepared to furnish plans for a new p<wl that would be larger and inort modern.

Radio Paris quoted a high-rank-ing German officer as saying that the "xero hour In the weat la approaching. with Allied preparations almost complete." "There is a likelihood that the outcome of the war will be decided In lhe west this summer,” the qf cer added. Jean Paquis. another Parle radio commentator, recalled that he previously often bad joked about weather interfering with Allied op erat lons. "This time, however," he aald. "I flrmly believe we are near the xero hour and nobtfdy can foresee the consequences.” Foor-Day Lull Lcyidon, May 17.—(UP)-- Military observers said today that the Allied air offensive softening western Europe for invasion Is far ahead of schedule, despite a four-day lull enforced by bad weather. Speedy Mosquito bombers of the royal air force kept the campaign alive during the night by braving the galea which have grounded she great aerial fleets to crash perhaps 100 tons of explosives on Berlin, rasping the nerves of the Nail capital. Again today the ntorm-lashed skies were clear of the air fleets which. In a month of nonstop attack planted nearly 85,000 tons of bombs on Natl strongholds from Cxecboslovukla and Poland to the channel coast. While delays In aerial preparw / NOW IN Oil SIOWIIIM .

ations normally might interfere seriously with an invasion time table, military observers said the unprecedenfed campaign certainly had put the Allied air program well ahead of schedule. The air command was given four weeks of nearly perfect flying conditions. Until the weather closed In over the continent Sunday, the American and British forces were able to maintain constant pressure on the west wall and its feeder bases. — -o GEORGE ADE, (Continued From Pago 1) overnight.
