Honorable discharges are now coining through and before long will exceed the number of inductees and that’s good news for every one. —O—O Invest $75 now and draw down SIOO in ten years by buying a war bond. If will help Uncle Sam win the war and help you when you need it. O_O All out for the “Mighty Seventh War Lo'jjn.” We need it to win the war and to take care of the ill and wounded veterans and to bring the boys home. Let's make it a mighty success. —o Order your coal or other fuel for next winter. It will be better for you and will give the dealer a much better chance to take care of all his customers. O—O—— Rhee tracks have reopened and the boys who had saved up their' money for a couple of months while the ban was on deluged the book masters with their money on the opting day. It was one of the biggest “takes” in history. -0-0— President Truman has told Japan whpt they may expect and surely wist get. Now it's a question of I whether they want to take it the easy way of unconditional surrender or the hard way of complete destruction. —o ff the Allied nations can stick together in peace as they have in waif the world can settle down to a song term of peace. And why not? It will save billions of dollars and millions of lives to prevent a third world war. —o Mussolini and Hitler and most of their leading assistants are dead or soon will be but their teachings will live through a decade and until she people are convinced that tyranny cannot rule the world.

Nagoya. Japan, got notice of the strength of the Mr force Monday when the industues of that city were destroyed. More than seven million pounds of bombs were dropped there, causing fires and much destruction. The war against that country Is in full swing. —o The WPB has released 500,000 tires for civilian use thte month, action that will soon be felt by many who have been getting by with the old and worn tires for a long time. It won’t begin to take care of all demands but it surely will help out in the most necessary situations. o—o If Jimmy Doolittle takes over a part of the air command in the Japan area, the leaders over there will soon realize it. The large cities of that country have already suffered considerably but as the air force is increased they will feel the fury of attack still more. The tempo has already increased to a point that the Japanese cabinet is in almost constant session planning how to meet it. o—o To Sgt. Charles A. Kruse, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Kruse of route four has been awarded the honor of receiving the French Croix De Guerre medal of honor. The official photograph published in this paper shows the honor being pinned on by Col. Tenourd. Sgt. Kruse has been in the armed service nearly six years and overseas since 1941. Congratulations and the hope that you will soon be home Charles. O—o There seems to be no such thing as a bomb-proof building. The reichchancelory in Berlin, built by Hitler to be an everlasting monument to his work, was completely wrecked. It had a concrete roof ; nine feet thick but one blockbuster hit it squarely last January and left ; a crater twenty feet deep. From then on it was an easy target and it is now just a part of the devastated site that was once the city of Berlin. O—O A bomb was launched from a Nazi U-boat laet election day in an attempt to bomb New York City ■ but it fell harmlessly into the ocean, according to a story just , published by Stars and Stripes | from Paris. About that time the | Army and Navy issued statements that bombings of coast cities was i possible and probable. Fortunately no damage came to American cities from the V-bombs on which the enemy relied so heavily. O—O Every one in the community is enjoying with Harve LaFontaine and family the good news that their son, Sgt. Dick LaFontaine has been liberated from a German prison and is well. He had not been heard from since his capture in the bulge battle last December 17th until recently and news of his safety so eagerly and long hoped for brought genuine happiness to many friends, and of course, to the family. O—O

The health department of Indiana is giving attention to the smallpox situation since recent reports have been published. Statistics of the Metropolitan Insurance Company show that Indiana had more cases of smallpox in 1944 than any other state. There was not a case in any of the northeastern states from Maine to Maryland. Indiana reported 38 cases in 1944. This is Id percent of the nation’s total. O—O There seems little doubt that' Goebbels is dead and the odds are that Hitler and Himmler have also taken the suicide route out of their difficulties. A hundred of the Nazi leaders are prisoners and many others are known to be dead. Kaitenbrunner who had charge of mass murder programs under Himmler has been taken in tow and no doubt the people of Germany, so long under orders, which if disobeyed

The ’ allied forces have taken over tho ’ rule of that fallen nation until thoy can reestablish a government of the people and the world hopes that will not require too long. The most disastrous war in history is drawing tb a close so far as Europe is concerned and the sun that marks the dawning of a hippier day is just beginning to rise. — ■ o Twenty Years Ago Today May 17, 19125 was Sunday. o * > I Modern Etiquette I | 9y ROBERTA LEE | Q.

I Household Scrapbook I | By ROBERTA LEK | ♦ — ♦ Food In Cana iff all the contents of food in a tin can is not to be used, place the remainder on n diah and put it away in the refrigerator to be used later. Do not leave it in the can. Tired Feet tlf a rather thick rug is placed under the. feet while ironing, or while standing very long at any other task, the work will not be nearly eo tiregame. Soap Flakes Try beating the soap into a foam with the egg beater. It will require fewer flakes and will give better suds. 200,000 NEW AUTOS (Continued From t«ge One) three months is all that will be necessary, although naturally not all companies will be able to get assembly lines moving at the same time. .The poet V-® day automobile can look like a Buck Rogers rocket ship for all WPB cares, but it probably will emerge generally similar to the 1942 models. iNeleon said the government would not attempt to “dictate to any manufacturer the changes he can make in his car.

Lud Denny got home early from the plant the other day, and found his missus in the middle of housecleaning, with th* furniture moved around, and the place a shambles. Some men might have grumbled about getting precious little time off, and finding their home upset. But not Lud. Ho Just took his coat off, and pitched in and helped. And when he got the last curtain in place, and stepped down off the ladder, there was his missus with a tray of cold beer and
