The report of the death of Hitler was not accepted by the world but with most people his influence is gone and to all intent and purposes he was through several months ago. o—o The total quota for Adams county in the Seventh War Loan campaign is *1,294.900. of which $866,300 must be purchased by individuals. And we must meet it. Buffalo meat is unrationed, it is announced but we haven’t seen any of the s e animals roaming the plains of Adams county for several yeare so it won’t help much. O—O To prove to the world that Mussolini died before a firing squad, pictures of he and his mistress were taken and sent all over the world for publication. The men who frequently stirred Italy to a frenzy when he spoke was jeered by a populace that believed he had “sold them out.’” O—o President Truman is wise in his position as to V-E day. It should not be an occasion of wild celebration but rather one. as he says, for “solemn thanksgiving and grim determination to win the Japanese war and the home front battle." Let’s make this a better country in which to live. O—O The big Seventh War Loan campaign will be on in another two weeks. The men and women who will canvas for this important fund are organized and ready. H’s up to us as citizens to make their task as easy as possible. Let’s plan to buy all we cun and to hold all we have. Let's win the Pacific war the next few months and have this second world war qver. O—o The one big lesson to be learned from the second world war it> that this must be the end of war or tfic end of civilization. The world cannot stand another one if the next one is increased in fury as this one has been over the first world conflict. It would mean the destruction of every thing. That’s why the world conference is so important. O—O American and Australian troops have landed on Borneo, one of the richest islands of the Pacific and one of the oil producing sections that Japan needs badly. The war goes on and victory after vicloty indicates that the end is drawing nearer but we still must meet that army of five or six million in Manchuria and other provinces. We must not let down now’.

Scattered and preliminary reports from the East NortJj Central states show that 168 communities have gathered 15,294,036 pounds of clothing, shoes, and bedding for overseas war relief in the United t National Clothing Collection, according to Henry J. Kaiser, nationt al chairman. He pointed out these • first reports indicate satisfactory t | trends, since the deadline for poundage reports is May 10th. I o—Q I There ie no need to get excited ’ about the fuel question. The situ- ■ ation seems dear. We can get all 1 the midwestern coal we want bit’ only 80% from the eastern fields. It is possible that by fall this condition may be improved but the wise thing to do is to not depend on that. Get your order in to your dealer as soon as possible and give him a chance to meet your requirements. O—o If Admiral Doenitz is now the fuhrer in Germany no one will envy him his job. Even Goering and Goebbels and Von Ilibbentroff and Himmler have apparently passed up the front spot for their own personal safety. Just what a dictator of that country will govern now is difficult to estimate since the allied armies are in almost complete control and about all that a new commander can do is to surrender. O—O There appears to be a false impression that due to a new gasoline rationing amendment, effective May 1. salesmen and other passenger car operators in similar categories will be able to apidy fur and receive mileage rations in excess of 475 miles a month, says Stephen A. Conn. Indiana Ol’A district mileage rationing officer. The new occupational mileage provision has been added to the gasoline regulations to allow mileage up to 825 miles a month (including nonpreferred occupational travel) for a limited number of persons who perform services which are necessary to the operation and functioning of essential establishments which they visit. The mere sale of products to an essential establishment does not qualify a person under the new amendment, Mr. Conn says. O—O Glimpsing America: Influential foreigners attending the San Francisco conference are discovering America. For many this country heretofore has consisted chiefly of Now York, Washington and way points. Some may have traveled as far west as Chicago. The large area west of the Mississippi has been chiefly a geographic detail. Delegates and correspondents alike seldom have toured our land from coast to coast. Only by actual experience can they realize the bigness of this nation, its vast resources and power. They travel for . days and nights on the tranaconti- ■ nental trip without encountering ■ customs Inspections and change of ■ country and language. The bulk of visitors from 4* ■ nations ride through teeming industrial centers, through seemingly endless stretches of fertile farms, ; over areas whose resources are not . yet developed. They may have reI garded America as the Ignd of . wealth and opportunity without • comprehending its economic might. Motion pictures often have creat- : cd mistaken impressions. The conference groups now know that the . real America is more than gilded . penthouses and gaugsters. The value of holding a national "open house" may uot have been ignored in selections of the Golden Gate metropolis as the scene of this epochal gathering. — Indianapolis Star. o Rate Destructive Rate waste money and destroy feed and other property on a farmIt has been estimated that each rat can do from *4 t» SSO worth of dam•F 9 w
