Louis E. Curdeat. Fort Wayne flying ace. who was missing nine months after his plane was shot down in North Africa has been liberated and is back with his outlit in Italy. He expects to be returned to this country soon. He is another hero who will be given a warm welcome. —o Tojo sent a message of encouragement to Hitler urging him to keep up the "good fight" and promising to continue his victories In the South Pacific. Hu hasn't won any since the sneak attack following Pearl Harbor but he loves to boast to his own people and ills allies. He knows the situation Is probably "shaking in his boots." O—O Every boy and girl who has the opportunity to do so safely should learn to swim. Those who visit the chance now and should work at it rather than just splashing around for the fund of it. You will never regret the few hours required to learn the rudiments of this soprt and it may come in handy someday. O—O Don’t expect a quick victory in France. The leaders in the best position to know warn of over confidence. The Nazi forces are strong and will not quit until they have mad-- the supreme test. Naturally the advance of the Allies will be slow as they organise to meet the enemy which Is well prepared to defend. Tho greatest battle of the war Is probably just ahead for our troops.

Keep the flags out while the bond campaign is on. That’s the request of Mayor Stuits and Judge Fruchte. There is nothing more inspiring than the good old American flag. It Ik flying in spots ail over the world today. Let's keep it flying at home and lets back It by buying bonds. It's just a loan to your government. In other words it’s a loan to yourself. O—O The agricultural department says u a result of their monthly survey that Indications are that the farm crops in the United States thia year will exceed any in the past decade excepting in 1942. It is predicted that the wheat crop will exceed a billion bushels. That production has occurred only once in all time and that was way back In 1915. Corn is reported only fair because of the late planting In the mid west, due to rains. O—o The war has caused many problems. not the least serious of which Is the shortage of help, nurses and doctors. In the hospitals of this country. The Methodist hospital at Indianapolis has found It necessary to close one entire floor and may have to further curtail. Since these Institutions can only accept the caees they can take care of and since the demand for nurses and doctors for the war service will continue It may be that cases that can be treated at home will be denied hospitalization. O—O— Marie Hagy who was injured when the wail of an adjoining building fell over and Crushed the Fort Wayne National Bank building has filed notice with the city that she will hold them responsible for damages for her injuries and shock. She deciares through her attorney. Robert Parrish, that the wall was weakened and unsafe as the result of a fire which occurred previously and was unprotected Several others were Injured and six people were killed in the catastrophe. O—O Whatever the basic reasoning it* his reaignation. the country lost one of its most beloved, one of its fairest and one of its most able politicians—not only of this period, but of all its history—when Jim Farley gave up the New York state chairmanship. And that's using the word "politician” in its very best sense -a real servant to the cause of honorable self government by a vast people. As national party chairman and as postmaster general, Mr. Farley had the highest esteem from the nation. His has been a true personal contribution to the American acene—an example of what a politician should be. All Indiana offers him a hand shake of good will for the future.—lndianapolis Star. O—O The nevy and the air force have paved the way for the invasion and now It’s up to the Infantry. These boys may also be depended upon to give the best they have the next few months. Their work is difficult, dangerous and unpleasant. They will die If necessary. What can we do to help them? We can keep them well supplied, we can continue to train replacement arm les to take their places if and when It is necessary. To do that Uncle Sam needs billions of dollars and be is asking you to loan your share of It to him. If you do and we all do, we will win and we will continue to have our America. Don't try to get out of buying bonds but rather go the limit to do so. It's that important. , - ...» ■ 1,.,— r i ♦ • Q.

Please—not tonight." Wearily she drew off her park*. "Why talk of what baa happened? It’s what ia going to happen. Nate meant every word he eaid to you tonight. You can’t—" With an outburst of sudden anger Colin eut her off. "Blair, let’a flat one thing clear. I’ve taken everything from Nate I’m going to take. When I came back, you asked me to make my peace with him. I did. I’ve walked so softly he’s beginning to think I’m afraid of him. well, that’s all over. Nate and I are headed for a showdown, and the sooner it comes the better. It wasn't just the trouble with Olsen that started Nate off tonight—be cant stand the idea of any other man existing in tbe same world with you. And now, whether you want to hear it or not, I’ll tell you wh *£ meant about Irina.

Again Colin spoke, this time louder. "I’ll give you half a minute to open that door—then I’m ceming through." Only blackness and utter quiet Colin took a step back. Heavily his shoulder struck the door, making every board tremble, bringing down from the rafters a shower of powdery dust And the echoes of that blow had not died when the words came, "Wait I Please wait" A light clicked on, and slowly the door swung open. Under the solitary light Dr. Benedict’s face had aged ton years. The little room was even more crowded' than before. The radio art still stood in the opposite corner; dozens of ten-gallon cans lined the farther wall, and on them Colin read the words "grain alcohol"—the source of smuggled liquor to the CreesT One open crate held a huge airplane camera, and all about it drums of film were stacked high. Three trays filled with strong-smelling liquids were on the table, and beside them a photograph enlarger. But Colin’s interest was centered on a large map spread out on a packing ease. It had been made by piecing together a number of photo prints, and for a long time he studied it with lowered head. Then he raised hia eyea to Benedict, and spoke. “So you picked the one sure way to break Blair’s heart?" Savagely Rae eut him off. -We haven’t time for talk. Blair’s coming up here. I don’t want her to see you the way you look now. Get down to the hospital and stay there." <*/' B » ne< V ct Rb «’ b • nB - Colin, I swear I didn’t know Dove was smuggling furs I" Incredulously, Colin's eyes searched Benedict’s, then again ho "a** down the hospital I" m T^ e old mßn ’» hand tightened on Colin’s aleeva.

"Father’s down to the hospital,” •he whispered. “I know." . v i "How did you get to?" she ssked, but Colin wss pointing to the map. “What do you make of this?’’ ba asked her.
