O—O The old fashioned idea that every young man should learn a trade or business, know more than the average person about some particular line still hoids good.

Stiver who has served as director of public safety and superintendent of the Indiana stale l police, ha* resigned, effective December 31st. He will return to Goshen to take over the furniture business built up by bls father over the past half century. Mr. Stiver has made an excellent record, has improved conditions In the state j and holds the respect of all who know of his earnest and effective * ffort*. Safety Rules: Following are new winter rules, based on National Safety Council research, for driving under adverse weather and road conditions: Adjust speed to conditions. Slow down wi ll in advance of intersections and curves. Follow other vehicles at safe distances. Put on tire chains when roads are slippery with snow or lea They provide "go" traction and reduce braking distances 50 percent. Make sure windshield wipers-de-frostera really work. Hignal intentions of turning or stopping. Apply brakes lightly and intermittently on icy toads. Remember that braking distances on anow and ice without anti-skid chains are from I to 11 times greater than on dry pavement, and that wet ice at near thawing temperatures is twice as slippery as dry ice near xerp. In view of great need to conserve irreplaceable cars and trucks during this 'witleal winter, Ralph A. Moyer, research associate professor of highway engineering at lowa State College, recommends the following for consideration of each driver: "If you can't start, it's a misfortune; if you can't stop, it's a calamity! You must see a hazard to avoid It. Reduce your spied and be prepared with practical precautions."

—o—o Do You Remember: Three years ago this morning a strong Japanese forte £iade the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, causing great daiaage and killing sev- < era I thousand Americana. At the . very time It happened. representatives of that country were in Washington, presumably trying to negotiate term* that would assure peace for many year* to come. Later it developed that wan only a part of their plana to aid the Nail organisation. Thia nation wat Uuuued aud much of the world surprised and for the next three mouths the wiley Japs taking advantage of their strength and position proceeded to run wild in the Pacific. They took the Philippines, New Guinea, the Dutch East Indies and all the Islands over a 4.000 mile stretch and even lauded on the Aleutians. They believed aud it looked for a time that they had won the war. Then America awoke and started to build the world's greatest navy and armies. In a year the tide began to turn and now after three years we control the air and most of the seas and daily bombings on the home bland of Japan are causing great damage. Only in C'hitM has the oustay continued to make advances, due of course to the fact that they have a better anny and are better prepared. Home day our forces, perhaps aided by others from the Allied nations will get to that job and finish it completely. It’s a huge job because we are also operating in Kurope and the distant m are great but we can aud are doing it In r*ch a manner that future wars need not be feared it a proper peace is concluded and the world joins In maintaining it by force if necessary.
