American forces are not depending entirely on the new bomb, but out planes and ships, continue to pound the enemy wherever they find them. O—O The Chicago Cubs look like they intend to stay out in front in the National League while Detroit, Washington and New York are battling it out in the American. —o Japan will probably soon be invited and urg'd again to accept the terms as fixed by the allies and surrender. If they again refuse, they may expect destruction sooner and more complete than their wildest ideas. —o The atomic bomb is so terrible that, it will be used only when necessary, but it's a wonderful weapon to have for it gives control to the nation that does. It cost two billion dollars and thousands of people worked on it without knowing what they were making. —o The squirrel season opens tomorrow and many who enjoy this sport will be out after the bushy tailed j animals that make such excellent eating in these meat shortage days. It is unlawful to buy or sell them, so if you want a dish of this fine food you will have to get out and hunt them yourself. Twenty years ago Col. Billy Mitchell was being court martialed because of his advocacy of the airplane as a war unit. Now it has proven the greatest agency ever devised to carry destruction to the enemy, once supremacy has been established. Things have changed mightily the past two decades. o—o Eddie Rickenbacker is confident the Japanese war will be won without an invasion The air power is so mighty and is proving so effective that resistance will probably be light if our land forces do have to go in, according to the ace of the first World War. Other do not agree and certainly our forces will have to take possession of Japan by some means, even if surrender comes soon. —o R. Earl Peters, director of the FHA in Indiana is devoting much time to aid various communities to get relief from the housing

Mr. Peters believes in tile future and thinks the demand for houses will continue in thp postwar era of prosperity. O—o Major Richard Bong, tiie curly haired, blue eyed Wisconsin boy who became the top American ace by shooting down forty Jap planes in the Pacific, met his death at Burbank California when his I’Shooting Star crashed in flam s. He had been the victor In many air battles, wore twenty-six decorations and had been sent home to do safety work. O—O

O—O Tiie cool weather the past few days should remind us that winter will be here in a few months and that any thing we can do now to make homes more comfortable then should be (lone. Have th' 1 furnace cleaned, put iu elorin windows, take every precaution that will reduce the amount of fuel you will need. Coal dealers tell us they are having difficulty even now in getting shipments and indications | are it won’t improve much for several months.

To be sure the people had it tough during the revolution, the Civil War and at other times but the population was less, the standard of living had not reached its present peak and the forests furnished much of the fuel required. Now ' with stock piles well exhausted and the demand still great, we must learn to get along with less and to make the best of every thing Perhaps we will snap out of it one of these days.

. Stung to desperation by Halsey's aggressive foray, the Japanese undertook a Kamikaze sui-cide-plane attack on Halsey’s ships for the first time since the Third Fleet invaded homeland waters early in July. United Press cor respondent Richard W. Johnston saw a Kamikaze zoom down through an orange haze, smack the water a few yards from one of Halsey's carriers, flare momentarily and disappear in smoke. “Tokyo cannot wait for invasion now,” Johnston reported from aboard a warship off Japan in explaining the Kamikaze attack. Hellcat, Corsair and dive-bom-ber airmen carried out low-level strafing and bombing attacks against the select targets studding the central belt of Japan. One fighter group hit a big bomber and fighter base at Mishawa. Hangar, shops and dispersal areas were shot up. One direct hit set fire to a large hangar. Japanese shipping in Hacinohe harbor was another target. The airmen saw* one ship blow up in a 000‘l paMOinq qotJlM a.uj jo nuq feet when the bombs exploded.
