Get your waste paper ready for the Saturday pick-up when tho Boy Scouts will be after it. —o Buy a bond this week and complete your April quota.

Get all the paper ready you have on hand so they can gather it Saturday. It will help about thirty Boy Scouts win the honor. -0 A plywood plane recently flew the Atlantic ocean in five and a half hours, averaging six and a half miles a minute. Look for some innovations in flying when the postwar period comes. They haven’t made any from tissue paper yet. , 7 o—o These ale lough days for every one but the news is good and indications are that there soon will •be'hn easing up. It’s the duty of ob eqfjj and every one of us to do our 'best that we may .soon complete tile ugly job brought on us when Pearl Harbor was attacked. O—o The coal miners and operators have signed a contract and if they get the nod from WLB. one of the worries of the nation will be over for a while at least. The wages

of iniuers Is increased $1.30 daily which will mean a 25c per ton boost in the price of coal to the consumer. o—o It's more necessary now than ever that we drive carefully. It will be quite a while before replacement of cars or tires can be made. The campaign to gather used clothing for use hi the war stricken countries of our allies is not an ordinary drive. Thousands of women and children are actually dying from cold- Babies are wrapped in newspapers and millions are in rags. Won’t you contribute the articles of apparel you can spare? O—o These are strenuous days in Germany where they are in the last throes of the most terrific war in all hietory fighting with courage that borders on fanatical. The scenes in Berlin and other large cities are beyond description as thousands battle to surrender and as many others follow Hitler’s leadership and evidently will fight as long as they have breath.

Many do not Millie the greet demand for paper three days. More than 10(1,000 Hems shipped to the armed forces are wrapped or boxed in paper. There is not enough men or materiel to meet this demand. Thai's why it is so importam that every scrap of waste paper be saved aud turned in. Help Increase the amount this mouth. O—o Senator “Happy” Chandler of Kentucky has accepted the position as baseball commissioner at a salary of $50,000 a year and will quit the senate. He was selected from quite a field of proposed candidates and says he is "immediately available.” He no doubt sitting in a box at the ball park to a swivel chair in the senate aud his problems will be easier. o—o The Russians have really made a touchdown and tho old flag that flew over Stalingrade when the Germans were pounding at the gates is now flying over Berlin. For three years Hitler's forces carried the ball but they finally lost it and Stalin's back field picked it up and carried it over the line, crossing Poland and Prussia to surround the capi'tol. Supported by their allies they have won a great victory. O—o Berlin is being destroyed. According to correspondents who have flown over it, the entire city has been in flame's for days and the roar of artillery convinces them that little will be left of the historic capitol with He beautiful buildings, its art and monuments and attractive landmarks. The world regrets that shell procecdure was necessary and wonders at the action of the German authorities who permitted it. Ample opportunity was given them to evacuate or to surrender but they refused and the metropolis. which was the size of Chicago now lies in ruin. War is a terrible thing. O—o There is less political partiauship in congress just now than for many years and its a good omen that there is such general agreement and desire to make the San

Francisco meeting a success that will bring permanent peace, but don’t get the idea that politics won't spring forth again. It will come when the reciprocal trade agreements get before the house and senate, it may come over some trivial matter at tho world conference, there are signs of it now because some one objected to the selection of members of congress to visit Germany on invitation from General Eisenhower. It would not be America without a difference of opinion and we will always have it. Just now is a good time for leaders to get their breath. Hopeful Signs: Probably ho president has ever received the friendly, hopeful and generally uncritical political psychoanalysis that Harry S. Truman has been subjected to during his firet few days in office. The na-

Hob, BppfeetetlM th*tT*mefidoit« tank of replacing a dominant world figure at a critical time, has not only unanimously wished him well, but has sought reasons to convince itself that he cannot possibly fail. Perhaps this puts a greater pleasure on Mr. Truman than if he were confronted with an Implacable opposition waiting for him to make the first wrong move. But so far the new president has met the tests and withstood the pressure admirably, showing hinwolf calm, alert, authoritative. If we may succumb to the temptation of analysis, we should say that he is a consolidator where President Roosevelt was an innovator. And he appears to have a talent for conciliation, without compromising his course of action. President Truman's talent and reputation for conciliation may have been reflected in the recent White House visit of eight of his former colleagues from the Republican side of the senate. And when one thinks of. the powerful, final voice that the senate will have in this country’s participation in the world security council, that visit was a welcome sign.—Goshen NewsDemocrat. —,—. —-o Berne Man Donates Blood To Save Life Os Wounded Soldier ARMY FORCES. WESTERN PACIFIC—The miracle of whole blood and the heroism and the skill of the men of an Army Field Hospital are two of the most glowing chapters in the conquest of this base.

Blood flown here from San Francisco has saved the lives of thousands of soldiers and marines. Blood taken from a donor often arrived six to eight days after it had been donated, and many of those who received it know now the names of the donors. The unit always had two to three cases of whole blood on hand but a surprise Jap counterattack, in the late stages of the battle, caught them short. Those in the shock tent, which prepares cases for surgery, watched their rapidly dwindling stock with a growing fear. After handling over a hundred cases, they ran out. The first two men in the unit who heard about the shortage, volunteered to give their blood to the wounded men. The men who donated the blood on this occasion were Ist Lt. David N. McKinistray, 823 East 34th street, Indianapolis, aud Ist Sgt. Roger L. Sprunger, Berne, Ind. No one in the unit thinks that what these two men did is of any importance, least of all the men themselves, ft's really a run-of-the-mill happening. After the blood was donated, several of the general "O" type men came to the shock tent and wanted to know ’whether any more was needed! 0 County Tuberculosis Association To Meet The annual meeting of the Adame county tuberculosis aesociation will be held in room 20fl of the Decatur junior-senior high school Friday evening at 8 o'clock. — 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

The bee stung, the mule kicked, and John went sailing ifito space. In a blind rage, he grabbed a two-by-four to smack the mule. But, as he lifted it, his broken ribs grated, his fingers dropped the two-by-four, which fell and conked him on the head, Somebody sure has a sense of humor.
