Wacker Drive, Chicago, Hl The real way to celebrate V-E rday is to buy extra war bonds and don’t make the mistake of thinking any thing else. —o The end of the war in Europe will bring many changes as we adjust ourselves to the task of keepiiijg the war against Japan going wjple preparing for total peace. Keep your feet on the ground. 9 o—o The public didn’t mind the dosing of stores and factories and newspaper offices but they wished the eating and drinking place® cofild celebrate by taking care of their needs. O—O I The cablegram from Fred Kunkle he is “well and safe” brought joy to the relatives and many ' friends here and made V-E day the nigre enjoyable. He had been missing four months. —o The general public doesn’t care nfuch how the news came or what plfess association gets credit for it. What they wanted to hear was word from Washington that V-E ' day had officially arrived. O—O Yesterday was not only V-E day but iL was also the sixty-first birthday of President Truman. Since this d’ale —May 8th —becomes a day for World gratefulness, it will Le easy “•to observe also as Truman day. O—o It Would be grand if Japan would accept the advice of President Truman and suirender unconditionally as they will have to do sooner or later. But they probably won’t do that yet so the only thing we can do and want to do is as the president said in his proclamation —"w’ork, work, work.” O—O Wd cannot heli) expressing the deep regret we feel that Franklin D. Roosevelt could not have lived to enjoy Victory day, He had much to do with keeping the war away from our shores and la ending what looked like a ten-year war until we really went all-out to win. O—o President Truman's proclamation was sincere and genuine and he proved himself great leader of a great nation. The people will respect his fishes and support his efforts to bring peace to America

and the world and go on with plans for a happier world. O—o Even after the surrender, German armies in pails of that country continued to fight aud it may ' take weeks to clean up all the pockets over there but leadership . is gone and materiels will be unavailable so the war torn countries become a territory to be rebuilt | and restablished. o—o 0 — 0 The Yanks are gaining hi Okinawa and the other Islands of the Pacific aud with the aid that should come now from Britain aud perhaps from Russia and other nations it should not require many months to teach Japan that no nation can mold the world to suit their particular taste. Let's finish the job. O—O The greatest part of the celebration and the thing that should give most encouragement for the future was the fact that so many gathered in‘churches to return thanks and to pray for the continued aid from their God that peace will come soon all over the world aud will be enduring. O—O Edward Kennedy has made a name for himself by reporting in advance the unconditional surrender of Germany. Whether it was according to “Hoyl” will be given out some day but his flash of the great event which took place in a little school house in France was the news item the world was waiting for and it touched off celebrations in many cities. O—o The return of Rev. F. 11. Willard as pastor of the First Evangelical church of this city is good news not only to the members of his congregation but to the community in general. Rev. Willard has proved himself a fine Christian leader, a hard worker aud a fine citizen, and

we need the services of such men now more than ever. We extend best wishes to he and his family. —o Business predict that temporary unemployment will mak-’ headline® on the front pages in from three to six months. Probably the most serious problem to be worked out will be the transfer to peacetime production in plants that are called upon to continue the making of war goods especially needed In the Pacific. In soma instances the making of these goods will prevent the firm from returning to peacetime manufacturing and the employment of all its workers. —Maurice Early in Indianapolis Star. —o Now Let's Go On: We have passed the half-way mark and now are on the home stretch to end wars for a long time, perhaps forever. America expressed her pent-up feelings yesterday and will now buckle down to the job again. Old and young paraded, sang and prayed. Thousands went to church during the day to give thanks to God that the war in Europe has ended. Business ceased, whistles' blew and horns screeched at intervals during many hours after the official announcement was made. It was the same every where. School® dismissed and employes In plants ceased work for the day. The celebration waa sane but hilarious, the people remembering that we still have hundreds of boys in the Pacific area and others in training. We must now realize the size of the war against Japan. We have won great victories but we have not yet landed on the mainland of that island of fighting fiends who volunteer by the thousands to do suicide jobs. Winning a war against the world’s second largest empire, with 400.000,000 conquered slaves tp do its bidding, is another story entirely from capturing, or recapturing island outposts. We have just begun to contact the main army of the

Japanese. And to go all-out againet them, we will need to be prepared. Our job on the home front is io be prepared to back up our boys. The Mighty Seventh War Loan affords the opportunity.

It’s two down nojv—and one to go. Let’s win the Pacific war aud then we can really celebrate, remembering however that even then we have ahead of us the great task of relocating ourselves and building a better community and a better world in which to live.

SYNOPSIS HELEN MILLER is an attractive young woman of 36, who has been jilted by a playboy, PAUL WENTWORTH, a southern plan- , tation owner, who married SQB NORRIS. Helen lives in an apartment with war plant trainee AGGIE JONES, a pleasant, 30-year-old aelf-confessed ' old maid," who urges Helen to try to mend her broken heart by dating PHILIP BROWNELL, foreman and manager of the war plant owned and operated by Helen’s AUNT MINERVA, a shrewd business woman who drives a hard bargain and hopes to match Brownell and her niece during Philip's stay in New York on vacation. YESTERDAY: Helen goes out for an evening of gaiety with Philip Brownell, whom she likes well enough but, as they dance, Helen thinks only of Paul Wentworth and the good times she had with him at the country club at home, before Zoe Norris took Paul from her. CHAPTER FIVE GLIDING smoothly over the dance floor with Philip, her thoughts centered upon the past—when she was in the arms of Paul— Helen was startled to hear PiuJip’s voice close to her ear. “I could offer the usual price for your thoughls,’’ he “It would do you no gooa,“ add Helen, trying to speak lightly. "They’re not for sale.” Silence and then: “You worked as your aunt’s secretary, didn’t you,” said Philip, “when you lived in Lakeville ?” “Yes,” Helen replied. “It’s the only job I ever had until I came up here,'' "Do yon like it—ln New York ?” “Oh, yes!” Helen said—and suddenly wondered if she did. “It’s exciting working in a big Fifth Avenue store. I’m secretary to one of the buyers, and he often asks my opinion about styles and colors.” “Don’t you ever feel an urge to go back home?” “Occasionally!” Helen said. Then, as the music came to an end, she said: “Let’s go outside and have a look at the city wrapped in darkness.” They went through a full-length window and out upon the terraoe. They stood n the shadow of a parapet and looked below, above, and out into space. It was almost like looking upon a world forever dead, Helen thought—upon a world forever lost in gloom. Neither spoke for some moments. The cacophony of street noises came faintly to their ears, and presently a long finger of light, reaching out from the Jersey shore, caught and held for a brief second a plane that soared high among the stars. “One would think we’d gone back to the dark ages,” Helen said, when the darkness was there again. “And after boasting about having reached the very pinnacle of civilisation.” “Yes,” said Philip. "Looking out over the city as it is now gives you a sort of fantastic feeling. It’s'like an illustration from one of those weird scientific ?tories—stories telling of the world of the future.” - “And what a dreadful place such a city would be,” said Helen. “The very thought of it makes me feel hollow way down inside, and a little afraid.” Philip moved closer to her. “It is upsetting,” he said. “The way things are now—civilians living in ajr raid shelters, like animals in caves—and soldiers hiding in foxholes.” He forced a smile. “The next thing we know, men will be fighting each other with clubs, a la the Stone Age, and running off with the women they want, after banging them over the. heads.” v ’‘Not a very cheerful project, I -7'-

Each German delegate signed the surrender as photographers recorded the scene. At 112:46 A. M.. the ceremony had been completed and the German delegation withdrew. While the Germans filed out, the Allied representatives joyfully congratulated each other, the broadcast said. Zhukov shook hands with Tedder, ISpaatz and the other general®. “Victory is here!” the announcer cried, “today humanity can breathe freely again.” His announcement-rthe first of the Soviet people of Germany's sur-render—-caused what probably was the first spontaneous public proAllied demonstration in Moscow since the start of the war.

is it?” said Helen. “No, it isn’t,” Philip agreed. Helen said: “Each war seems to be more brutal than the other. And here we were, telling ourselves we were through with such things.” “Yes, it is brutal —war,” said Philip. “This one in particular. But if our enemies want to fight rough, we have to do the same. We can’t be gentle and civilized in our methods when we’re fighting men like the Japs.” Philip went on. “And this war’s got to be the last,” he said. “That’s one reason I was so eager to get right in the middle of it. I won’t have my son—2o years from nowbeing called to fight another. It’s got to be the war to end all wars. It’s got to be.” “Yes,” said Helen softly—watching him, admiring the strength of his jaw, the straightness of his shoulders. “When I realize,” he said, “what will happen if we don’t settle matters for once and for all time, I fairly drive myself. And if I ever feel like weakening a little —sort of slowing up—all I have to do is look down at Dick’s face, while he’s sleeping, and then—” “I understand,” Helen said, when ne could find no words to express his feelings. They went back inside. They had another dance. Then Helen looked at her watch. “Do you mind going now?” she asked. “I have to get up pretty early, you know. Besides, I’ve got some homework to do.” "Homework?" said Philip. “You sound like Dick. That’s what he has to do —with my help.” “We’re starting blueprint reading at the defense school,” she told him. “And I’ve got some prints to study.” “You are a busy person, aren’t you?” said Philip. He looked deep into her eyes as though he were searching their depths. “Your picture doesn’t flatter you in the least. It doesn't even do you justice.” “What picture?” “The one on your aunt’s desk. I see it every time I go in to have a conference with her. Do you know what I always think when I see it?" “I haven’t the slightest idea?’ “I always think how nice it would be if the original were there instead.” "Sitting on the desk?” Helen laughed. “No, sitting AT a desk,” Philip said. “I’m glad you feel that way about it,” Helen said. "But I’ve got a desk to sit at in the apartment. That is, if I’m to get caught up on work.” Philip said: "I hate to have the evening end. I feel wide awakegood for at least two hours more of gadding. But I don’t want to tire you out.” "Os Course you don’t!” Helen replied. “That would be retarding the war effort." ' They went out to the elevator. They got in and were dropped 65 stories to the street level. The doorman signaled for a taxi. They were oddly silent as they were driven uptown. When they were standing in the hall of the remodeled brownstone house in which Helen and Aggie had their apartment, Helen said: “It’s been fun getting back into the swing of things. Thanks a lot.” “Thank you,” said Philip, taking her outstretched hand. "May I telephone you in the morning?” Helen thought for a moment. “Better make it around IL” she
