Regardless of other events be sirt-e to plant a Victory garden if ns pejisibie. It will take months to catch up on production and any help in providing food for yourself and others is more than worth wjjile. —o Adams county is making an excellent showing in the campaign to gather used clothing for the needy in the countries of our allies. Thousands of garments are being turned in, packed and shipped and thousands of people will be made more comfortable as a result. , o—o The conflict in Germany may not Ibei entirely over for a few days but twelve million allied soldiers can surely take care of any guerillas or outlaws that roam the moiintails and hide in, caves. The victoily seems to be in the bag but thdre arc many things necessary to control conditions as they now exist. • O—o Thp Nip suicide planes are causing considerable damage and are difficult to stop but its certainly an expensive way of lighting. T|ie planes dart out now after night, spot an American ship and if lucky land and explode on the deck of the vessel. The war in the Pacific is one of the toughest ever fought any where and our Ipssea are great but it must go on until the enemy is made helpless. They should ■learn a lesson by watching the ■trend of affairs in Europe. O—o The peace flurry over the nation •Saturday evening was short but it lasted long enough to prove that when the good news does come it -will produce an exciting few hours. In New York. Washington and. other places throngs gathered in preparation dor a wild night but dispersed quickly when the rumor •was spiked by President Truman. The war will not be over as long as our men are dying aird in the meantime we must do our best io keep them supplied.

He has met the fate that comes t eventually to those who misrule, who boast and threaten, whq prove t traitors to a trust and hundreds of • others of greater or less fame are 1 now finding the going tough. Murders and suicides are rampant over ■ Europe these days as the final 1 chapter of the war is being lyvrltten. I O—O J We are shocked and deeply grievi ed at the sad news of the death of i Capt. David T. Parrish, son of t Judge and Mrs. R. C. Parrish of i Fort Wayne and a native of this city. David was well known and ‘ had established himself as a lawyer of ability and a leader in northeastern Indiana prior to his enlistment in 1942. He had made good in the service as he had in private life and had become a captain. He died ip an airplane crash in Italy April 20th.< The widow and parents and one brother, Robert survive. Tlie sympathies of thie community are extended to the relatives of Captain David Parrish, whose name is now written with other Gold Star heroes on the honor scroll of America. O—o Seventh War Loan: Although Hie seventh in the scries of special war loan campaigns has been launched by the Treasury at a time when we stand upon (he threshold of victory ip Europe, the need for it has never been more urgent. The need arisps from the scarcity of consumer goods in relation to enormous latent public purchasing power. The bulk of our productive resources must still be • devoted to war. A considerable ■ task remains before us in Europe. A major conflict must yet be won ; in the Orient. And if victory is to I breed and order and peace, • some portion (ft our civilian supply, food and clothipg in particular, must be shared with the people we have liberated. If inflation at home is to be averted, the temptation to t start spending money freely, which will come as a natural consequence otf victory in Europe, must be sternly resisted. Peacetime goods f are likely to be in extremely short ) supply for a lung while to com®. Only two special war loan drives are planned for this year as compared with three in the course of 1914. For the seventh campaign, the Treasury has set an over-all goal of 14 billion dollars. Half of 1 this amount, the more important ' half, is to be raised by the sale of ’ bonds to individuals. And the mqsl important portion of this half, ' billion dollars, is to come through subscriptions to E bonds. These 1 are the bonds designed for People of comparatively modest means. ' The buying of them represents a deferment of current spending which is quintessential to,the antiinflation program. This is the really dangerous money, the money 1 which the Government must mop up and take out of circulation if 1 prices arc to be kept stable. The success of the Seventh War Loan ■ drive tan best be gauged by ! success in meeting the E bond 1 quota.— Washington Post. — o r ♦ 7I Modern Etiquette I Sy ROBERTA LEE I I * - —♦ ■Q.

CHAPTER ONE AGGiE JONES, with a cold in her head, her hair in curlers, and wearing lounging pajamas, huddled in bed and watched her friend, Helen Miller, who sat in front of the dressing table, listlessly polishing her nails. •‘Believe me,” she said finally, "if something extra special in the way of males had just come into my life, I’d certainly look a lot more cheerful than you do." "It’s a trick,” said Helen. “It’s a —a frame-up!” “What is?” i “Aunt Minerva sent him up here j as bait. It’s as plain as the nose on 1 your face.” “Leave my nose out of it,” Aggie said. “I'm having enough trouble with it as it is.” “She wants me to come home,” Helen went on. “And she’s counting on Philip Brownell to iure me back.” , “That doesn’t sound like your Aunt Minerva,” said Aggie. “I can’t picture her in the role of match maker, or . Cupid, or whatever you want to call it.” “I can picture my Aunt Minerva in any role,” said Helen. “A woman who can turn a dying axe-handle factory into a thriving defense plant is capable of anything." “All she wants you to do,” said Aggie, pulling a bathrobe up about .her shoulders, “is to show him the town. He’s been working hard at the plant, and she—” “Yes, I know,” said Helen. "I : read the letter. She sent him to Washington to act as her stooge, and told him to come en to New York and have himself a muchneeded vacation. And I’m the goat." Aggie sighed. “I wish to heaven she’d send me some bait,” she said. “As a bait-picker your aunt is tops. The moment the man walked into • the place with his letter of introduction, I said to myself, ‘Now ; there’s the answer to any maiden’s prayer!' Good Lord, Helen, the man’s got everything! He’s he-man jto the nth degree—he’s rugged—he’s full of that quiet sort of masculine charm that gets ten women out of ten. He’s Gary Cooper plus, that’s what he is!” “Then suppose you show him the i town,” said Helen, smiling. ' “I’d do it in a minute,” Aggie came right back, “if I didn’t feel and look like something a General Grant tank had just pushed off the road." Helen laid down the nail buffer. "I don’t mind being nice to Aunt. Minerva's plant manager,” she said. “But I don’t like the idea of her thinking I’m all set to go fluttery and ga-ga over a man she sends up to charm me. After all, I’m 26 years old—and a woman as old as that . i doesn’t get fluttery over a mere >|man.” 9 X* 1 d°«" sa ’d Aggie, "knd I’m I denied near 30—that is, according | faintly Bible.

nearer 130.” She sneezed violently and wiped her eyes. "Anyway, what’s so terrible about going back, home ?" “You know perfectly well why I don’t want to go back,” said Helen. “I thought I made it quite clear ,to you when I wrote and asked you to help me get a job in New York.” “But that was over two years ago,” Aggie Said. “And yet I remember your words as though J had just read them. ‘I shall never go back to Lakeville—never, never, never—not after all the humiliation and heartache I have suffered there!’ Sounds like a line from a mid-Victorian melodrama.” “I agree with you,” said Helen, “now that I have more of a perspective.” Then she suddenly whirled about and faced her friend. “Were you ever jilted?” “Who, me?” said Aggie. “Gosh, honey, I wasn’t ever engaged, even. I can’t even say ‘three times a bridesmaid but never a bride!’ like in a story or the poem. I might • have been a bridesmaid just once, only—” “Only I let you down,” said Helen. “Anyway, Aggie, waiting at the church as a bridesmaid isn’t . anything like waiting there as an almost bride.” ’ ,• ■ “No, I suppose not,” said Aggie. : “But I think you should thank your stars that Paul Wentworth did run I off with that little fluff-brain, Zoe. It’s a darned sight better to be left i waiting at the church ail in one piece than to be found in a wrecked plane in several pieces. And that’s . where you would have been found sooner or later, if you and Paul 1 had gone on doing stunts in the ; sky, and scaring the living daylights out of Lakeville folks.” ; “We didn’t do any stunt flying,” said Helen. “I loved flying. I learned 1 how to handle the controls, and I • might have become a real pilot in • time.” ’ ‘The trouble with that guy,” Ag- ’ gie said, “was too much money and ' too little sense. If his father hadn’t ’ bought him everything he asked ! so to a baby-blue flying ma--1 chine—he might have amounted to ’ something.” “He may do it yet,” said Helen. 1 “I doubt it. Anyway, if he wants > to fly a plane, let him do it for Uncle Sam.” : Helen said nothing. She was seeing a strip of firm, ! green meadow land back of the big I plantation house in which Paul I Wentworth lived with his widower s father. She was seeing a small plane standing there, and Paul and . herself beside it. “You bet I know t how to handle it!” Paul was saying. . “There was a flying field near the • college, and I spent all my spare r time out there with an instructor.” > He pulled her to him. looking down s into her eyes. “You’re going to get t used to flying, sweetheart, so that ! we can honeymoon up among the stars.” And she had grown used to i it, had found it exciting at first, ; and then restful. There was some- > thing clean and fine and beautiful i about soaring far above the trou- <
