It looks bad and it means work for some one to do at a time when about every one has plenty of chores. According to the attendance records on nice days, baseball is as popular as ever. The big league teams are receiving the usual cheers and boos from the tans. Those who failed to attend the Helena band show Monday night really missed one of the greatest performances every staged here. It was entertaining and* inspiring. The boys are not only heroes but ■ artists. The list of violent deaths was rather heavy over the week end wittf nine reported in Indiana and reports of fatalities continue to comji in over the Memorial Day vacations for some workers. Its stilt quite important that car drivers use every precaution. . o—o Trie world conference is nearing its close and it is generally believed will be a very successful record of achievement. As a result the world will have the basic constitution’;'fOT a world organization desigifed to keep peace. Thoee who are tesponsible for the get-to-gether spirit deserve the approval of every peace loving person. It will soon be up to the senate of the United Stages and other law making bodies in other countries, for approval. • — o—o Robert Patterson, under-secretary of war believes that if Germany had followed through after Dunquerke “and taken Britain thte nation would have been helpless. We had. only five half-strength divisions and not more than 300 combat planes. The enemy could have landed her armies and marched clear across to the Pacific without checked. In other words we had a Harrow squeak that should teach us to be ready at all times ■ /zr to defend our shores if and when required.

pie attended the ceremonies and reverently paid their respects to those who served their country as members of the armed forces and have answered final bugle calls. There wae a genuine sincerity uot to be denied, more evident this year than for a long time because the roll of honored dead from this county in the second world war has exceeded seventy. We hope we shall never discount the sacrifice made by these men and women and their families. o—o— While President Truman has a good idea of business and other things that go to make America, he is best acquainted with the farm business of the middle west. He was reared on a Missouri farm and he has worked many years as a plain, every day farmer. He know® their needs and he knows what is best for them. His influence in that direction will be felt the next three years. Samuel F. Guard, writing for the Breeder’s Gazette gives an interesting story of this man who has suddenly become a member of the Big Four of the world. "From plowboy to President” is the title and Guard tells the simple story of a great man. Read it if you get the chance to pick, up a copy of the Gazette. —o The next few months of the war against Japan will be severe as the Nips continue to fight to the death, to use suicidal methods of attack and refuse to surrender. They are taking huge losses and are being gradually hemmed in but the cost is great and we cannot let up an instant. The world can understand how Japanese war lords felt they could whip the world. They were well prepared in every way and with the members of their armed forces sold on the idea of dying for their country, the confidence grew to the point when they attacked Pearl Harbor and for several months afterwards. It’s a tough war, make no mistake about that, but the end now seems inevitable. Whether that will take a long time or can be ended within the year depends much on we folk at home. Let’s keep on working and buying bonds and otherwise supporting 'he men and women at the front. —o Muddletown, U. S. A. There’s no such place as Muddletown. Thank Heaven! For if there were, this is how things might have happened there: It was a fine spring morning when the citizens of Muddletown went mad. They were tired of the war, with all its regulations and controls and interference with oldfashioned American individualism. They threw the war out of the window, along with War Bond buying, rationing, price controls, wage stabilization and gas conservation. With carefree hearts the people of Muddletown gathered up their war bonds, went down to the local bank and cashed in. They drew all their money out of their savings accounts. Then, loaded with cash, they headed for Muddletown’s department stores, food stores, hardware stores and places of amusement. Rationing and price control® were forgotten. People bought everything they could get their hands on. However — in the days that followed, two unpleasant facts became evident. The first of these was that when available supplies are brought up, then no more supplies are available. The second was, that once inflation hits prices no amount of salary inflation can keep up with them. And then —no matter how much money people have they're really very poor. The people of Muddletown began to get. pretty angry. As one housewife indignantly put it, “There ought to be a law so that everyone gets a chance to buy what he needs . . - and a law to keep those prices down, like price ceilings or something.” k . ... va...

1 ’ ft " 8Y ll f W-M*VN J One of the most serious problems in traffic-accident prevention tn any community centers around the pedestrian. The rush and worry of those war times have tended to make us become lax and careless in our walking haibits. This carelessness, however, is not confined exclusively to war workers and civilians. 'lt is particularly ironical to read or hear of the death in traffic of a Service man who has served a year or two on the battle fronts, and who is home on furlough. The poet-war period is going to be a busy one for all communities. Special studies should be made by cities, towns, and villages' to improve their pedestrian traffic problems. (Next week this column will present suggestions for an engineering enforcement and educational program which will aid in reducing these pedestrian fatalities. o lons each, through June 21.

Os this number, traffic casualties were estimated at 10, as compared to a death toll of 50 forecast by the national safety council. The council’s figures, compiled on the basis of past experience, include those persons hurt on Memorial Day who die later of their injuries. ! Preliminary reports from United | press bureau,? throughout the country listed, in addition to traffic deaths, seven drownings, three stabbings, two shootings, two chemical explosion casualties and 13 miscellaneous deaths. Pennsylvania, reporting eight deaths, had the largest holiday toll. I Three brothers were fatally burned when their car was struck by the Pennsylvania railroad’s crack Liberty Limited passenger train outside Pittsburgh, two others died in automobile collisions, and three miscellaneous deaths were listed. None In Indiana By United Press Indiana’s observance of Memorial Day set a new contemporary low mark for violent deaths on a holiday. State police announced today that not a single fatal traffic accident, drowning or plane crash had been reported for Indiana. The only traffic death reported was the result of an accident May 28. Ray O. Hawkins, Wolcottville farmer, died yesterday of injuries received Monday when an automobile struck his tractor. Hawkins died in a Kendallville hospital.. The accident happened as he pulled another tractor from a ditch. An automobile driven by James L. Koons collided with the farm vehicle and threw Hawkins to the pavement.

CHICAGO PAYS (Continued From Page One) kind of a kis® a man gives his wife when he hasn’t seen her in more then a year. The Generul’s address was dedicated to the men who made victory in Europe possible. Standing straight and tall and smiling but with the lines of grave times still clinging to his mouth, he recounted the long and difficult war in Italy. ’ Clark epoke of the Poles, the Austriana, the Italian®, the AmericanJapanese, the negroes of the “glorious »2nd division” and others who had helped win the final victory. Rut he cautioned that “we now face the Pacific, and we must sink Jeipan’s rising ®un just as we have annihilated the European Axte brothers.” ■ o Democrat Want Ads Get Results . —' —o Revival — now in progress — Nuttman Avenue United Brethren— Franklin Norris, evangelist—nightly 8 p. m.
