We must be getting back to normalcy. Boston has twenty candidates' for mayor this year. —o Now start August off right by buying an extra bond or two. It will help settle affairs in and around Japan. —o The main all-American highway proposed for the postwar era will be more than 15,000 miles long. What a picnic that will be for the professional hikers. —o Japan may forget the boasts she made after Pearl Harbor but she will never forget the pounding oho is getting these days from Halsey’s fleet and the land based bombers. —o

The showers slow up the combines some but make up for any loss in that line by helping the corn and beans to grow. They also help the gardens considerably and that’s important this year. o—o Soldiers discharged after tomorrow Will receive ration points entitling: them to thirty gallons of gas. That will help many to enjoy their first thirty days a little more and they are entitled to it. ' O—o Keep that war job until Uncle Sam releases you, keep buying bonds, keep doing all ytrnr country asks. It will be over soon and you will have the knowledge that you did your best during the world's greatest crisis. —o General Herschey says we will continue to call 100,000 men a month to the colors as long as the war lasts. We sure hope that won't be long. Men are needed at home right how as badly as they are needed in the camps. —o A million U. S. soldiers are coming back from Europe the next few months, it is announced. Many of them will he discharged, some will go on to the Pacific war if it is still in progress, all will welcome' the trip home.

While Russian leaders believe that Hitler ifa dead, they admit there is so far no definite proof and they are continuing their investigations with the hope of soon establishing the facts, one way or the other. O—O ■ The steel industry is ready to go back to regular business and start filling orders except they Will have to spend a couple of hundred million dollars to reconvert. So there ie no use to expect shipments to start rolllpga day or two after thfs, war is over. It will be months perhaps, and without steel many other industries cannot get going. -—o—o Stator Capehart has made another as to »hen the

with Japan will end. Recently he said it would be a matter of hour’.. Now he extends the time sixty days and says Russia will be in by September Ist. Hp probably has the same right to guess as any one t etoe but if he doesn’t hit- one soon, the public will lose confidence in his , ability along that line. —o Nannie B. Hanis appreciates the bath robes sent to the South Pacific by the Adams county Red Cross Chapter and says the boys who are using them are also most thankful. One hundred more are now being made as are 1,500 pairs of washable bed room slippers. Sick and wounded men get them and they help to make the boys more comfortable. Miss Harris is a field director for the Red Cross on the hospital ship "Dogwood.” —o Brigadier General Elliott Roose-, velt, son of the late president, has asked to be released from the army and the request has been granted. The retiring general rose from captain to general by his bravery and good work as a soldier. However, he has been made the target in • several episodes, with or without cause, and is evidently tired of being in the limelight. He has been in the service five years and is thirty-three years old.

—o Three county farm to market roads totaling 36.74 miles will be further improved in Van Wert County under the Federal Aid Secondary Road System act passed by congress, it its revealed by the county commissioners and Engineer T. K. Priddy. Under the act the federal government will provide $17,000 a year for three years in this county to be. matched by a like amount by the county commissioners. —Vaai Wert Times-Bulle-tin. O—o Henry Ford is a wonderful man in more ways than one. He is not only a great manufacturer who has met all obstacles over four decades of battling, but he has hopes for the future. He observed his eighty-second birthday this week and predicted the greatest era of prosperity and good living ever known. It's splendid that he can stay young at four score and two. The new OPA pricing policies attempt to reach a workable com-

promise between these two unworkable extremes. Being a compromise, it will hardly please everyone. Being a more or less blanket formula, It can hardly be expected to provide a tailor-made fit all around and immediately. But it maintains a rough sort of price ceiling as a general safeguard. It looks flexible enough to afford relief to hardship cas»« within reasonable time. It promises more speed without total loss of control. And that is what the situation seems to call for. —Christian Science Monitor. Beverage Commission Studies Applications The local alcoholic beverage commission, composed of Henry Dehner. James Elberson and 1. Bernstein met late yesterday with Martin Miles, state board member, to consider applications. No objections were offered to any of the appilcants. The board recommended the granting of a license to Herman Meyer for a package liquor store, to be located in the west room of the Boch building on Liberty Way; Carl Hurst, beer, White Spot Case, Monroe street; John Huffman, beer, wine and whiskey, Monroe street. The application of John Kennedy for a license to sell package liquors was not approved, for the reason that Mr. Kennedy does not have possession of the real estate he recently purchased from Mrs. Walter Eicher. The site has a frontage Os 11 feet on Mdtirdb street.

If a man has asked a girl for permission to call and she has declined, should he ask again at some other fime? A. That depends entirely upon the manner in which she refused his first request. He must use his best judgment as to whether the girl really cares to extend the friendship. Q. Is it correct for parents to introduce their children to adults? A. Yes, and it is excellent training. Well-bred parents should do so at every opportunity. Q. What is the proper position to place a butter knife on the butter plate? A. Diagonally across the rim of

Parsley, watercress, pimento, and slices of lemon are a few garnishes that are reasonable in price, but add to the appearance of a dish. Old Bedspreads After the bedspreads are too worn to be used, cover the springs under the mattress with them. It will protect the mattress from the wire and will mean less dirt.

West Virginia coal mines produce approximately 500,000 tons of coal per day.

AUSSIES THREATEN (Continued From Page One) tralian attempts to cross brought heavy fire from enemy machineguns. The troops were forced to abandon the attempt. Australian naval vessels bombarded the eastern side of Buka island, destroying 30 buildings or huts and hammering four eijemy troop concentrations. Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced in a communique that enemy planes had attacked the Miri and Brunei bay areas, but caused no damage. Despite bad weather the far eastern airforce spread its attacks over most of the Japanese empire. Industrial targets, communications lines, and shipping were hit on an around Kyushu. Large fires and violent explosions were seen in factories, warehouses, and fuel dumps. Low r flying fighters wrecked 10 locomotives, 74 railway cars, and number of motor vehicles. Among enemy vessels sunk were a 2,000 ton tanker, three medium fr< iglilers, two destroyer escorts,

Seventh fleet patrol bombers, flying over the Asiatic coast, destroyed 28 coastal craft in the Swatow and Hongkong areas. Airdrome equipment and navigation facilities were hit in French Indo-China, and a harbor craft was damaged near Singapore. Australian medium bombers, escorted by Netherlands fighters, attacked in northwestern New Guinea while other planes supported ground forces near Wewak. 0 3 WARPRISONERS (Continued From Page One) the detail looked on. Garland was quoted as explaining: “The prisoners made threatening remarks to me before I fired. I fired my carbine at them when it looked like they were going to rush me.” Capt. Gordon Randolph, Camp Carson public relations officer, said Garland probably would be held in military custody pending an army court martial. Randolph pointed out, however, that the Indiana soldier had a “good” army

record and was a veteran military policeman. At Columbus, Mrs. Charles Garland, the American soldier’s mother, said she “had hoped he’d never have to do it” when she was told her sou had killed three German prisoners. Mrs. Garland said she knew of no grudge harbored by her son against Germans although he was wounded fighting them in Africa. Slaying of the war prisoners here was the second such occurrence in the mountain states recently. An American guard turned a machine gun on sleeping Nazi POWs, killing nine and wounding 19 others, at Salina, Utah, last July 8. Capt. Randolph said the bodies of the Nazi prisoners killed yesterday would be taken to Camp Carson for burial. — Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
