Friday evening, cooling the air for fifty miles around. The thermometor had reached 82 during the afternoon hut quickly dropped twenty dtgrees after the cool breezes began blowing from the north. O—O The tenth army infantry is finishing the job this week on Okinawa, as the Jap defense crumbles. It has boen the toughest battle of the South Pacific campaign and the cost has been heavy in men and money. The navy has suffered twice the loss that the U. S. navy took in the entire first world war in this campaign alone. Richard Colter, one of the heroes of the USS Franklin is being given a sincere welcome here. He is home on a thirty-day furlough after some harrowing experiences in the South Pacific. He has been a member of the Franklin Crew since It was launched in January of last year and is now a veteran in the service of Uncle Sam.

O—O Intelectual and moral integrity are the formula set out by Dr. Henry A. Lucke in his address to the graduating class of the Decatur Catholic high school. He said that in this upset era of world history, happiness can only be attained by those who follow the teachings they have received in school and church. The commencement exercises were excellent and were enjoyed by hundreds of friends and relatives of the class of '45. O—O

The rush for sugar by many who had no intention of using it for canning purposes, made it necessary for the OPA to suspend issuance of sugar ration stamps, effective June Ist says an official.. This nation will have less than half the sugar this year than was used last. The cause is not clear hut the fact j that we don't haye the sugar is, so we will have to get along on less. A new plan to further regulate distribution will be effective in about a week and applications in the local offices will then be granted. It’s tough but so is about every thing else these days. o—o Just A Year: It was just one year ago tomorrow morning when American forces landed in Normandy and’ began their famous march across France. It was “H” hour and “D” day, "Deliverance Hour,” so proclaimed by General Eisenhower who was in charge. More than 11.000 planes and 4,000 British and American .ships softened the landing of the troops who poured in continuously until the beachheads were established and the forward inarch started. The day in this country passed silently and solemnly as millions prayed ftfr the success and safety of their, boys'. President Roosevelt led the nation in prayer and churches every where were opened to give those so desiring the opportunity •to join in asking God’s aid. From that moment on. the fate of Germany and the Axis were

doomed. The great force went steadily forward to the very gates of the Siegfried line. Then came the one set-back—we were pushed back and many thousands of our men taken prisoner but in a few weeks this was overcome. We crossed the Rhine and began the drive to Berlin. It was a great victory and concluded with capitulation of the enemy May "th. We moved fast and with our allies won the greatest conflict the world has ever known. Now we await with equal eagerness V-J Day which will mean the fall of Japan and a return to civilization and happiness. May it come quickly and completely.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR WHEN PAUL WM gone Philip looked at Helen. “Take card of jtouraeif, darling,” he said. “I will,” said Helen. “I wish there was room for three. It would < be fun.” Paul came back. He and Philip, ; With Helen’s help, got the plane • around back of the bam, where there was a long stretch of cleared hard ground. He helped Helen in and then climbed in himself. He leaned out and waved. “We’ll come down to your level . a bit later,” he laughed. Philip watched them take off and then he slowly walked back to join Zoe. All of a sudden he felt depressed. There was something fascinating about Paul Wentworth—or rather he could understand the man being fascinating to a girl. He Was a decidedly dangerous rival in any man’s language. “It’s impossible to keep Paul out at that plane,” Zoe said when he walked out upon the porch. “He’d Sleep in it if he could.” “I rather imagine flying Is something that gets in one’s blood,” said Philip. “You’ve never flown?* < “Only as a passenger.* Zoe relaxed in one of the modernistic pieces that passed as a chair, while Philip wondered how she could relax. She said: “I’ve flown as a passenger, but only in a transcontinental plane. I’m scared to death of going up in that little thing of Paul's.” “It looks safe enough,* said Philip. “And he’s an experienced pilot.” “I know, but It always looks to me like it’s wobbling.” Zoe lit a fresh cigaret. “Anyway, if he likes it, he likes it—and there’s nothing I can do about it. I only hope Helen will be free to fly with him now and then and learn to help him with the photographing.” Philip stepped to the edge of the porch and leaned out of one of the sliding glass panels. “There they go now!” he said, “High over the fines.” Zoe Said nothing. Nor did she bother to look up. Instead she Watched Philip. There was something oddly charming about the rugged type of man, she thought, men like Mike Waterman and Philip Brownell. They made a woman feel safe—secure. Not that she didn’t feel that way with Paul—she did. Only Paul had so many outside interests. And there were times when she hdd the horrible feeling that he loved the land more than he loved her--that and the plane in which he was now soaring around up there with Helen Miller. It wav difficult to talk above the sound of the plane, but as they flew high above the pines—so high that the shore line of the state was visible, as well as a point where ocean met the horizon— Paul called back now and then to Helen. > “I’m going to follow the section where the pipe line’s being laid,” he said. “We’U photograph it some day.” •Yes,” was all Helen could man-

games were played and songs sung. Members present were: Earlene Auinlann, Majrilyn Boehnke, Darlene, Joan, Carol, Deloree, and Marilyn BuHemeier, Elencre Meyer, Robert, Norma Jean, and Mary Schroeder, and James Bouman. Henry Schroeder was a guest at the meeting. Union Pals The Union Pals 441 Ciulb met at the home of Evelyn Gerke Thursday afternoon, May 31. The meeting 'was called ito order by singing the club song and “Come all Ye Clulb Folks,” It was decided to have an all day meeting and picnic July 20, at Legora Markle'e home.

COURTHOUSE The inheritance tax report was filed in the estate of Jacob E. Spangler, showing net value at $3,305 and no tax due from the heirs. In the divorce suit of Frances Reidenbach vs. Herbert Reidenbach, the defendant was ordered to pay $27.50 per week for support and allowance raoey, plus SSO for attorney fees to the plaintiff. The court granted the defendant the privilege of visiting his three minor children.

Later Paul said: “Look down. : There’s the enlarged Miller mill—just below!” i Helen looked. “Very impressive!” she said. 1 They flew for half an hour, far out from Lakeville, high above Lakeville and on over the county seat Presently it began to grow chilly. “Cold?* said Paul. “A little!” Helen replied. “We’U hit it for home then.” They flew to a higher altitude. Paul did a graceful turn and presently they were coming down—down—down. The runway was just . below. The landing gear went into place. Lower and lower —and then with the slightest of bumps they were on terra Anna again. “Have fun?” Paul said, when the engine was shut off. “Oh, I did!” said Helen. “It was like old times!” They sat in the plane, made no move to get out “You’ll fly with me again, won’t you?” Paul asked. “If I can find the time,” said Helen, knowing full weU that she would find the time. me about your work —with the plana, f mean —your duties as a member of the CAPS.” Paul told her how at times members of the Civilian Air Patrol flew far out over the ocean, on the lookout for submarines or enemy vessels. Like guardian angels, he said, flying over land and sea in the vicinity of their homes, keeping watch, reporting anything that looked in the least suspicious. Then he showed her the new gadgets about which he had spoken, which included a sending set. “We can radio messages back to headquarters,” he said. “Coast Guard stations are notified if there is anything up that doesn’t look just right.” “And what about the photographic paraphernalia you were talking about?” said Helen. “That’s my own idea,” said Piet til. “You see, Helen, I haven’t altogether given up the idea of getting in—l mean, being something besides a raiser of something to eat.” “You mean you may enlist yet?” “Yes, I’ve got it in the back of my mind. After the crops are all in and all stored, ready for use by those who need them, I see no reason why I couldn’t turn the plantation over to my overseer, and go off to war.” “You want to be in it very badly, don’t you?” said Helen. “What able-bodied man doesn’t?” “But what has the photograph business got to do with it?” “I want to be in a position to do some aerial photographic work—fly over enemy holdings, take pici tures, study them, And vulnerable ■ spots.” Paul smiled at her. “And : that’s where you come in.” "I?” “Yes, you can help me. It’s like : this, Helen. I want to fly around, take pictures of our own defense i area, locate wear. as well as ■ strong ones, then put them together ! —like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, you know.” “Make a sort of map, you mean ?” “That’s the idea exactly,” said

That's work I help the country also.” “Os course,” said Paul. “But y( can squeeze in a flight or two week.

Let go join the others now.” Paul got out and took her hai as she stepped out upon one of tl wings. Then he swung her to tl ground. He held her a momei overwhelmingly tempted to ki her.
