i Ao BY n I I w brauh |fc> J* Brakes arc a factor in most traffic accidents and therefore should be given a regular checkup. A brake-checking program instituted recently by the State of Michigan was an outstanding success. After a 7-months’ rise in traffic deaths, fatalities were reduced 33 percent in the first month of the program and 31 percent the second month as compared to the same months oi the year before. There was a reduction of 16 percent in the third month, even though the active program had ended. Repairs and adjustments on brakes can be made reasonably and with little or no loss of use of vehicles. At the present time there are adequate replacemnt parts and service facilities for repairing brakes that tail to pass the. brake test. Since this may uot be true later in the year it is important that automobile drivers heed this warning and have their brakes checked immediately. Announce Increases in Retail Coal Cost ■Washington, May 2-(UP)—'ln-creases in the re’tail cost of coal, necessitated by wage increases granted miners in the new (bituminous wage-hour contract, were announced today by the office ol iprice administration. The increases, which lauge from 16 to 55 cents a ton, are effective at once. OPA said the wage boosts would increase mine operating costs approximately 21 cents a ton on an industry-wide basis but that five cents of the. increase would be a'bsorivd ,'by the mine operators. The reinainiiei- will be passed on to the consumer.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, IND

Truman Warns Great Tasks Facing Nation No Celebration In Nation On V-E Day Washington, May 2 — (UP) — President Truman today was up against the difficult task of convincing the country that even after V-E day another war and a lot. of hard jobs remain before the nation. While signs of victory in Europe piled up hour after hour, the president took several steps to keep war workers on their jobs and to be sure that key government personnel borrowed from private business for “the duration” did not pull stakes in Washington and go back to their old jobs. In rapid succession yesterday, Mr. Truman: 1. Sent word through his press secretary, Jonathan Daniels, that he wanted no nationwide celebration on V-E day, but sought instead "a national understanding of the importance of the job which remains.” 2. Told the nation that shortages, particularly in food, would become more acute “as the war proceeds toward a victorious climax.” “We must do our part in helping to prevent anarchy, riot and pestilence in the areas liberated from Axis domination,” he said. “These requirements place a greater and greater strain on our resources.” 3. Told war mobilization director Fred M. Vinson “with all the emphasis at ray command that the nation cannot yet aHow any man to leave his post of duty.” This was part of a request to kee all key government personnel on the job after V-E day, with a special request that essential government employes do not quit and go home. Mr. Truman summed up the situation in his letter to Vinson: “We still have a tremendous job ahead in bringing the entire war to a victorious conclusion. Beyond that, we must reconvert our domestic economy to the production of peacetime goods and services. The tasks which lie ahead are no less important, no less urgent, no less vital to the future stability of our free institutions than the tasks which are behind us.” Behind Mr. Truman's various statements was this fact: government leaders are afraid that once Germany is out of the way the country will celebrate victory and forget there still is a long, hard war with Japan.

(Election of officers was held during the meeting with the following being put into office: president, Wavelene Lehman; vice-president. Alice Ann Beineke; secretary-trea-surer, Badhara Byerly: news reporter, Alice Dick; game leader, Vivian Arnold and Audrey Byerly; health leader, iMary Elkn Byerly: and song leader, Esther Sowards, after the business meeting a good time was had by all, o Varnished Surfaces When applying paint or enamel over a surface that has been previously stained and varnished, the best practice is to remove all of the old finish with paint remover. The surface then should be thoroughly rinsed with water or turpentine (depending upon type of remover used) to make sure that none of the residue of the paint remover remains, and then dried out and sanded, before putting on the paint or enamel. This will prevent chipning of the paint or varnish later on. If this is not done, the surface, at the very least, should be rubbed over with alcohol and thoroughly sanded.

Gerke, chairman of the Adams County AAA committee, subsidy payments are now being made (to dairymen on their dairy production for the months of January. February, and March. 1945.

Mr. Gerke stated tlia-t during this same period Adams county farm th received $‘292,700.29 of the stale total. During the 1945 prograin year payments tire io be made quarterly.
