They don’t seem to have any Aiore black market trouble in the itrmy. How would it be if the same wctics were used to break it up Smbng civilians? —O—O i A huge livestock exhibit is being planned for Cleveland, Ohio. Well, s>at will give many an opportunity if) "look’-’ at line steaks, hams, (pests and stews. —=o—O * Men over forty years old can now get releases by applying, the w department has announced. Tfe new order affects about sixty ffiousand veterans. Wacs who are forty may also get discharges now. " O—O The Japs seem to have decided again to go on with the war and to sacrifice every thing they have. It will prolong it but will produce a complete finish to the Nip problem for many generations to come. O—O JiThat was a short summer. The temperature got up to eighty on Monday but dropped back to fifty by Tuesday morning. But warm weather is on the way and its reasonably safe to get that Victory garden started. —o—o— In Indianapolis the garbage collectors have been on ( strike nineteen days and the situation became quite serious. The controversy has been settled and the trucks are back on the job, working overtime to get caught up. O—O perplexing legal point in the case to decide the constitutionality of the new liquor laws seems to bo whether the holders are Democrats or Republicans. It does seem that laws ought to effect persons of one political faith just as it does another. O—O ► Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey has ordered all men of thirty or over deferred and draft calls will i■. . . be reduced twenty-five percent;

Effective at once. However the new

order will make it necessary.

1 Tiro norma! boy graduates don’t have to give much thought to his immediate future. He will be drafted into the urmed service. It will mean excellent training and will no doubt aid many youngsters in finding some line on which to specialise when the war is over. O—o The annual conference of the North Indiana district is in session at Huntington and many from here plan to attend the services over the week-end. Bishop Titus Lowe of Indianapolis is the presiding officer and the program includes many interesting discussions and reports. —o Manpower Commissioner McNutt says the men in supervisory positions in industry will be drafted for war service and that civilian living "is going to be tough for six months or a little longer.” In other words it will require the rest of the year to get affairs straightened out and

even then reconversion will have Its problems. O—o The truck drivers strike in Chicago is developing into a serious situation that is injuring business throughout the midwest. Freight docks there are said to be jammed with goods that has not been delivered and its impossible to ship into the city. At least one steel plant has been forced to close and others will do so soon unless relief is brought about. It’s a nasty condition at a bad time. O—O New refrigerator will soon be manufactured for civilians but the first will go to hospitals, bloodbanks and other places that will help the armed forces. It is believ-

ed however that there will be plenty of them within a year and those who get their orders in early may have one delivered in time for Christmas. ■ o—-O— There >re no strikes on Okinawa or in’ the Philippine sector, the boys are doing every thing they can to win the war. We can back them up by buying bonds, sticking to our work and otherwise aiding in making their jobs as easy and efficient as possible. We can’t make it soft for them but we can provide them what they need and we must do it. Subscribe your quota of bonds and add a little for good measure. O O When last we heard the police were still seeking her, so we can’t end the story properly. But it the law lets her go she’s a cinch to get a scholarship offer from some freshwater college. In this time of scarce talents, you don’t run into a pass receiver like that every day. —Huntington Herald-Press. o—o— — In the fabulous borougn of Brooklyn, New York, a girl office worker tossed a bag containing >1,050 to a feminine colleague. The second girl missed the toss and the bag flew out the window. A passing bobby-soxer neatly intercepted the lateral, scooped the bag off the sidewalk aud streaked for the goal line. Not a tackler laid a hand on her.

—o•—— Each time a fleet of Superfortresses attack cities in Japan they are bigger and the results more devastating. In March there were 300 planes in the Tokyo attack, in May 400 Super forts hit over that city and went on to Yokahama and Negoya and four days later there were 500 planes in the attack on Nagoya and other cities, convincing proof of what the little brown men must expect as the war grows in fury. \ —s®L-O Buy a poppy Saturday and make your token gift for the good ca'dse they represent as much as you feelyon can afford. The little red 1 flowers are made by disabled veterans and the funds are used to aid the veterans dtf both the first and second world war and their

DamCtilpin got his plowing done in record time this year. He was sitting on his porch, enjoying a well-deserved glass of beer, while Bob Wirts, his neighbor, still had over an acre to go. It burned Bob up, seeing Dan relaxed while he worked.
