Claremore, Oklahoma, where he resided during his busy lite, lie was killed In a plane crash in northern Alaska nine years ago and was buried at Glendale, California. Ilfat Claremore friends and relatives wanted the remains brought to that town where a Memorial has been erected and this was finally done. I. will he a shrine that will attract many visitors, for few Americans have bet n more universally loved than wan Bill O—O The state and national conventions of both leading political parties will be tame in comparison with those in the old days when these were the biggest events of the summer. This year they will be more bueiiH'ss-likc and the delegates will attend to their business without the usual display of fireworks. That’s as it should be for we are engaged in the serloikt business of determining whether or not we will lie permitted to hold elections in the future. I! we lose the war, we won't. ir - Messages to the underground population of the overrun countries of Europe, continued bombing raids, demands on the powers in control and other messages broadcast In varied manner arc no doubt a part of the program to weaken the enemy. Os course all these alarms get on their nerves and make it more difficult for the military to enforce their orders or receive the cooperation required to produce and to fight. Bit! its not bluff.

Glendcning. who has been listed as missing since the fall of Corregidor. May "th. 1942, Is now listed as dead. The young man was a hero, who it is believed, died with many other Americans that our government may live. He is one of eighteen from the county now on the ocroll that will be honored revently in the years to come. O—O A paragraph from a speech delivered by French Quinn, of this city, more than a year ago has been read into the congressional record by Senator Samuel Jackaon.. It Is a prayer that those in the service may be protected by the (treat CtammalMier of the Universe and thitt they may return with clear minds and the desire to help rebulH the war torn world. It was printtai in many papers over the country and is considered a gem by thou mods who have read It. Good thoughts: like this one will live throughout the ages.
