Klevea of the 14 major baseball laams have signed up to do their traveling next year on the regular scheduled airlines. Amateur and pro-football elevens are using the aerial route for travel a* well as touchdown*, Within the last few weeks, race horses have been flown between tracks, so comfortably that they were reported to have munched hay contentedly aloft Hockey and basketball managers are arranging with tlrline traffic men to use the skyways regularly O—O Armistice Day has been observed in th| M nation again. In many churches yesterday the services were devoted to prayers for enduring peace and a better world The occasion mark <1 the 27th anniversary of the signing of the armistice after the first world war. Every one was happy then but we soon awoke to the fact that It was only an armistice, a chance for waring nations to rebuild their military machines for a second world war. It came and now the Unknown Soldier sleeps in trouble, joined by millions of victims of this latest holocaust. We hope for universal peso- and a better world but II will come only if we follow the Golden Huie.

—o One Military Holiday This year's observance of Armistice Day suggests that next year we may find ours- Ives with an over abundance of military holidays on our calendar. That is said without any thought of disrespect to the veterans of earlier wars or to those who gave their lives in those wars. But n- xt year will bring the Mini venarles of two momentous events. V-E and V-J Days, which the country will not let pass unnotic- ; rd. Thus we shall have V-E Day and Memorial or Decoration Day. which most states observe, falling within th- same month. Three months later, will come the V-J Day observance, and three months after that. I Armistice Day. It is quite possible that the very number of thes<- occasions will dissipate the honor and gratitude with which they should be marked. Why might It not be better to select a day arbitrarily — and the pres nt Memorial Day would do nicely on which to pay tribute to the living and dead of the Civil War. the first World War and the recent conflict? And why not make a further effort to celebraW that day with the dignity and solemnity which It merits? Frankfort Morning Times

The Bond Election The proposal to authorige the issuance of bonds for the construe, tion of a branch county hospital near Berne was def-ated by Mb votes, according to the unofficial returns. About half the vote was cast excepting in the town of Berne and adjacent t-rritorlus where the turnout was excellent The showing made there was indicative of the loyalty of th-lr people and proved that organization and effort brings results. Even though they lost the el c Bon they may fe-l proud of the home support. The north part of the county voted "no" rather decisively us the returns show but the vote was far short of the register ed strength. It appears lhe south favored the proposal because of the convent- nee* a branch hospital would provide while the north feared snch an arrangement would tend to make the present hospital det-riorate and that both the old and the new might operate at quite a loss. The Adams County Memorial hospital Is an Institution we may all feel proud of and we hope there will be continued unity among the people of the county to support and Improve it so that it may do the greatest- good for the greatest number. There is no 111 will against Berns or her people and we »<«•
