We ought not have more thau one or two more cold snaps. o—o thrive carefully and remember that if you grow careless you may be earless. O—o ■Do you realize there is only another month of school. Summer will be here and the boys and girls will be free to work or play or perhaps enjoy a little of both. O—o Vo Italian can go wrong that has a president who starts with this: “1 ask only to be a good and faithful servant of my Lord and my people.” Those words following a prayer, closed President Truman's first address as chief executive. Prof. Krafft, who has for years served as private astrologist to Hitler, has been captured in the Ruhr. If he read the present situation in hie studies of the heavens he was foolish not to have moved 1& telescopes. .O—O Truman urged the armforces to go on to victory over tjge road marked by Franklin D. Roosevelt. He expressed his deep sorrow for the lotss of the great leader and said "he never faltered, nor will we.” His address was able

and sincere. o—o Base hits and home runs arc be- ♦ „ ing made and the “unips" are being razzed again. The brand of baseball may not be quite up t« par this season but it will provide thrills for millions the next eix months. O—o ' The last will and testament o! Franklin Delano Roosevelt, giving the income from his estate to Mrs. Roosevelt during her life, dividing what ie left among the five children in trust and leaving the homestead to the U. S. government, shows his clear thinking and wisdom. American troops first invaded Europe through Italy and it looks now as though the concluding shots of the war will be fired there. The Americans and British are resuming a vigorous campaign that will add to the consternation of the German forces and prevent them swinging strength to the Berlin front. • —O—ok— Adams county made a wonderful record for the Red Cross campaign with a grand total of $23,529.27.

To 0. 8. Bell, county chairmsft, Clarence 2iner, campaign cbairtnan and Lyman Hann, township chairman and to all who assisted them and to the several thousand who contributed go thanka for a great victory in a splendid cause. We live in a fine community. O—O There will be no V-Day until victory in Europe is complete and General Eisenhower believes that will only be when the forces in the pockets of Germany have been wiped out or captured. Since that means the Allied forces must actually occupy all of the territory, it may require several weeks. O—O The Yanks have downed 2,280 planes in one month and that’3 faster thau they can make them now since so many of their plants have been destroyed and materiels are getting difficult to obtain. In one day the Allied forces bagged

440 German planes. It certainly looks like these things can't go on much longer and even Hirohito and Hitler surely realize it. O—O Hitler has pepped up and evidently reached the conclusion to make one last stand in front of Berlin. His weakened armies will face the forces of Russia, America and Britain now inarching steadily forward and over-coming all obstacles. It seems a foolish attitude on the part of the Nazis but shows clearly how determined they were to win. They just can't give up the idea that they can’t do what they set out to do —rule the world. The cry of "fire" means little in Tokyo these days where for the past two weeks, the city has been continuously in flames. As fast as they die down, along come more planes to drop explosive and jellied gasoline bombs which keep the charred ruins in a blaze and add to the extent of the damaged area. We can scarcely imagine the terror that must exist in that city in which seven million people lived a few months ago. They can stop it by unconditional surrender any time they want to. O—o Samuel I). Jackson, former United States senator who presided over the Democratic national convention last summer and was the candidate for governor, is a close personal friend of the new president. Harry S. Truman and will no doubt be one of those from the midwest who will be called Into counsel. Senator Jackson is well known here and has proven hte ability as a public servant. The gold and other valuables recently taken in Germany has been moved to Paris where it will be held until legally and properly disposed of or distributed. British of-

ficiahs wanted it kept in Germany but other Alßejl leaders decided it would be eater some where else and that its removal under the old adage that “possession is ten points in law” might prevent much twaddle and controversy. Any way that’s one of the secrets recently given out by Drew Pearson. -O O - Political writers are now engaged in guessing on probable changes in the cabinet of President Truman. Jimmy Byrnes is listed as a possible successor to Secretary of State Stettinius, several mentioned ed to take Miss Perkins position io the labor department and so on down the list. There may of course be changes but we doubt if the new chief has even given much thought to the subject. He is interested now only in getting his administration running smoothly. Postwar Plans: R. Earl Pcters. Indiana director of the FHA believes there will be a great home building era following the war and the organization which helped so much to take the

natioD out ot the deprasslon, will agala aid thoae who desire to own their own modern home. Mr. Peters in a recent address at Rising Sun predieted that thousands of people will take advantage of .he opportunities to be offered and that this would include many veterans of the war. He said that every precaution to protect them is being planned. He spoke in part: “It should be remembered that veterans are expected to repay these borrowed funds and that, like many other Americans, most of them will be inexperienced In the intricacies of real estate economics. A mistake in ‘bad-buying’ or ‘overbuying’ can cause them much grief in the years to come and reflect to the discredit of those who lead them into a bad bargain. The vet eran should have all the protection that can be given by anyone involved in the transaction—the broker, the builder, the banker. The Federal Housing Administration, with its sound system of unbiased appraisal. its minimum construction and property standards, aud its inspections, is going to do its part.” —.— o ♦ ♦ I Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LIE
