The Office of War Information has been abolished by order of the president, it was established to prevent spreading of news that might aid the enemy and its purpose is no longer required. As director of this important board, Elmer Davis, a Hoosier and a former widely known news comentator, did a splendid job. He was er'dicised of course as would any one else have been but he was honest, efficient and thorough and he “stuck to his guns” when it reqquired courage to do so. —o n ■ ■ ■ ■■■■ ■ — . — Modern Etiquette | I Sy ROBERTA LEE , Q.

The trip through the suburbs , I didn't prepare us for the shock of total devastation awaiting us in the center of the city. There were bombed and burned-1 out buildings in the surburbs. but | i it was like a 10l of other bombed districts in London, Cologne and Hunich. Then you enter the city proper—and you know that this is more than just another bombed city. It is just an epoch of destruction. The center of Hiroshima litterally had been bombed flat. Only a j few concrete buildings appear still i upright, and those are little more I than optical illusions. They are i burned out and the steel girders > in them are twisted beyond hope j of repair.

The stench of death is every-1 where. It is like the battlefields i Normandy, where the bodies of Germans were left co bloat in the summer sun. The living—and Japanese doctors tell us that many of them soon alao will be among the dead —are dazed, unable to comprehend the disaster that had overwhelmed them. They poked through the piles of atone and wood that once were their homes. They knew they had little chance of finding anythin? salvagable, but somehow those piles of rubble represented a link | with the past—and with sanity. In their eyes when they passed us was hate —all the hate that it is possible for a human to muster. Our guide was a young Japanese naval lieutenant who was born in Sacramento. Calif., and whose father still lives- there. His mother brought him to Japan 11 years ago after he had spent 12 years in tne United States. I asked him: “How do the people i here feel about Us? Do they hate us or do they think that its tne fortune of war?” He answered simply and frankiy: “They hate you.” And we could read confirmation in the survivors’ eyes. Trade In a Gora Town — Decatur

Make Payments For ; 1 Sheep Production Adams “nd ’amb producers enn n n th: ° h : 8 governments "wVeeJ and lamb production payment program, according to wZ L- Gerke, chairman of the county AAA committee. Under the program he corn modify credit corporation will make payments to any P® ISO who sells sheep and lambs to legally authorized slaughtered fol slaughter. Since the sheep 01 - lambs must be sold to legally authorized slaughterers oi slaughter to be eligible for the subsidy, the last person who owns the animals is entitled to the payments. Mr. Gerke explained •■Farmers should be aware ot their right to this subsidy. They can collect it directly if they sell to a legally authorized slaughterer for slaughter. If they sell to a buyer who is not a slaughtered they should insist on a price that will equal the regular price plus the subsidy,” Mr. Gerke said. The payments for the period August through November 1945 will be $1.50 per hundred weight for lambs, 65 to 90 lbs., $2.15 for lambs over 90 lbs. and $1 per hundredweight for all other sheep. In order to be eligible to receive payment the farmer must present evidence to the county AAA office, consisting of the name and address of the legally authorized slaughterer, number of head sold, total live weight whether they were sheep or lambs, and a signed statement from the legally authorized slaughterer or his agent stating that the lambs or sheep were purchased for slaughter. If the sheep were not raised by the seller, an additional statement showing the purchase price, the date of purchase, and the name and address of the person from whom purchased must be included.

As under the beef production and dairy feed payment programs, farmers may apply for the sheep and lamb subsidy at the county AAA office. Payment will be made by sight drafts on the account of CCC which may be cashed at any bank. Farmers may obtain other details of the program at the county AAA office. o SERVICE OfFICER (CV.ntinued Fi om Page One) as the person named would be required to attend a three week’s short course in veteran's affairs in Indianapolis, from September 24 to October 12.

SYNOPSIS I TERRY ARNOLD. ■ young Vermont ' newspaperwoman, has written a fair- ; ly successful novel. To gather material for a second book she has gone to ttie Argentine, her subject matter to be the wealthy playboy set of that Latin-American country. • • • YESTERDAY: Terry, who has been installed tn Buenos Aires most luxurious hotel by newspapermen who mistake her for a Boston heiress, discovers that a small bet she maoe on Ultimo Ventura, a race horse, has won her a considerable sum, enabling her to remain in Argentina. CHAPTER FIVE WHEN TERRY left the ticket window with her 10 to 1 winnings bulging even her enormous purse, she felt like a balloon blown to bursting point. She had gambled wildly and won! She could stay in Buenos Aires another six months. Beautiful, kind, wonderful Buenos Aires! She took a cab and had the drlv-

er cruise the streets while she reveled in luxury. Down through the clanging, churning traffic of Calle Florida. Under the lacy branches of jacaranda trees, with the perfume of jasmine and paraiso in the warm breeze, and a tangy breath off the bay. She could almost imagine a faint dusty aroma, too, off the fabulous pampas she might get to see now! When she finally got back to her suite at the hotel, exhausted from sheer emotion, the last streaks of a glorious sunset, were tinting the carpets, and the blond furniture with rosy glow. She flung herself on the canopied bed, kicking off her alligator pumps in a spinning arc, and was almost instantly in a deep, relaxed sleep. When she woke and crossed to draw the shades, the city below was twinkling with a galaxy of brightly colored lights. She stood for a moment watching. Her excitement had relaxed into a glow of-warm content. Now that her reckless gamble had turned out so gloriously, it skeined no longer a mad, impulse, but the strong urge of destiny. She thought peacefully of the fasci-a-tion South America had always nad for her. Tonight she could almost believe her struggles to stay here were leading toward seme real geal. As she stepped from the elevator into the crowded, merry-making

It was their belief that the new office, if named, would be located in the court house, providing a room could be found for the new appointee.

He bowed from the waist and, with an elaborate flourish, kissed her hand. ‘‘You are ze wondair-ful one!” he cried. “That horse you tell me about —she come in! Ten to one I win!” He drew from his pocket a fat, leather billfold replete with a packet of crisp new bills. Terry gasped, appalled. “Great Aunt Susan! Did my wild tip get to you?” “Not to me only,” the little man gesticulated with animation. "You make everybody happy. I tell ze assistant manager, he tell ze chef, ze chef tell ze cooks and everybody she get rich!” Terry leaned weakly back against the nearest wall. “I didn't know,” she said, “that that horse had my life in its hands.” They laughed together and the manager beamed even more sunnily.

When a lady comes clear from North America to bet on a race—“l didn’t!” Terry exploded. "And then is gracious enough to share her information—’’ Terry was groaning when they approached the dining room door, but stopped in surprise at the trio ahead waiting for their table. Brooks Kimberly, with his rugged ' good looks, his intelligent alertness, chatted amicably with his lovely, black-haired, olive-skinned ' fiancee, and a tall, slepder blond ' man. She feasted her eyes on them Why was it, she asked herself irti--1 tably, she hadn’t been able to get ' their suave, cosmopolitan charm ! into her book? She paused automatically beside 1 them at the manager’s whisper. She ■ thought he had stopped to confer • with the head w-aiter, but she real--1 ized too lato that he was chatting • with the Kimberly party—and ree ferring to HER. This is the young • lady he had told them about—who i came from North America just to t bet on the wonderful Ultimo Ven- • tura! •1 “O my hat!” mcahed Terry aloud.
