It required many years hut we did it and we can do it again. —o Only three pieces of property were offered at the Adams county delinquent sale and they must not have been worth the taxes and penalties since not a single buyer offered a bid. It all adds up to the fact that the delinquencies here .were nil. —o—c * Now it's time to really get busy on a Victory garden. Hundreds have been planted but there arc' A still some to be put in. The agncultural department anticipates that forty percent of the food required this year must be thus produced. —o One commentator who thinks we coddle war prisoners too much in this country suggests that we bring home Yanks who have been held in the camps of Germany and place them in charge of Atterbury and other places where the prisoners * are held. —o Help to make the unfortunate people in the war areas more comfortable by contributing to the clothing drive soon to be started in this county. Coats and other articles of dress that have been discarded because of style or slightly worn will provide luxuriously for those who need clothing to keep them warm and comfortable. —oProspective car purchasers are now busy with, suggestions for improvements including an extra windshield wiper for the rear window, a three-door car instead of four to prevent youngsters rolling out and many other ideas. The average person will be happy just to have a new car even if the frills are overlooked. —o Berlin is again reporting that the Russian drive on Berlin is about to etart but after all they don’t give the orders that carry the Reds for-

ward and in most instances their guesses have been bad. In this ease however they may be right. When Joe Stalin gives the order, the forward march will be on and won't stop until the capltol city has been taken over. —o Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania will be the speaker at the Jefferson Day dinner at the Claypool hotel meeting tomorrow evening. Fort Wayne is also having one of the ten dollar per plate events. While honoring the founder of the Democratic party, the idea also includes the raising of funds with which to make Democracy live. —o If you know of any men or women from this county who have enlisted in the armed service without going through the selective board, please notify Adams I’ost, No. 43, American Legion. They wish to have every name on their honor roll and will appreciate your cooperation. —o Perhaps home of the European countries will want to keep the American engineers there to help them rebuild. From Stalingrad to the Atlantic coast a thousand cities lie in ruins and the outlook is gloomy. The Yanks who have built roads and buildings and bridges in a few days could no doubt be used to advantage but they will prob ably also be needed and wanted at home.

—o I’itty the millions of men ami women who 'nave been UAcd as slave labor in Germany the past three years. They have been driven and punished and poorly cared for. Many of them arc broken in spirit and health. They are free now and are trudging back to their home lands without hope of much relief. It will require several years to bring smiles to the faces of these people and it may never be possible unless outside help is given. —o— Lewis and the operators signed an agreement shortly after Ickes took over some 235 soft coal mines. It certainly doesn't look like thbest kind of cooperation to win the war. If they could do it then, they surely could have reached tlieii agreements a week before and prevented the loss of millions of man hours and prevented several steel plants from going down. It was the fourth time since the war began that the government had o assume control. —0 — Tentative plans are under way to erect a community building in Decatur as a memorial to the men and women of the city who are serving in the armed forces during the second world war. While it is so fa«' only wishful thinking, we are sure it will develop Into a reality. The sponsors are the Community Fund officers and a committee is now engaged In a preliminary’ survey. They will report soon and it is hoped will decide to go forward as rapidly as possible. As Walter Klick slated in his explanation and discussion of the project, "there is no better way to build a living monument to the men and women of the armed forces than through the erection of such a building. We are sure the community in general will give moral support and financial aid if given the opportunity. —o Getting Ready: Highly technical plans for postwar employment may or may not bring home the bacon. Most of them include Federal aid, which necessarily implies Federal management. It probably is wise to be thinking about what Uncle Sam can do to encourage employment after the war. If we fumble the hall we may need him.

In the meantime, the Standard i Oil Company of New Jersey has i come up with a plan that hits the I returned veteran's desire for a job j right on the nose. Standard Oil j says that any discharged soldier' who wants to go into the filling station business should apply to Standard Oil. It is ready to spend up to $3,000 a veteran to build him a filling station. The money will be a loan to the GI. His own character and willingness to work hard in building a business of his own will be the only collateral required, and the veteran need not pledge himself to sell Standard products. The company has allocated $5.000,000 for the project. If that desii’t take care of all the discharged soldiers who want to go into the filling station business, the company will find additional funds from which to make loans. — Indianapolis Star. —o
