Undoubtedly the Germans had been able to bury or remove many of their dead and wounded, yet along that one strip of highway I saw a total of some-

thing over 2000 corpses.

JENNER TO OPEN OFFICES IN CITY

Possible G. 0. P. Candidate For Governor May Leave Tucker's District.

By EARL RICHERT State Senator William E. Jenner of Shoels, one of the State's topranking Republicans and regarded as a likely candidate for the G. O. P. gubernatorial nomination in 1944, said today he will open law offices here shortly after Jan. 1. Senator Jenner said that he and Mrs. Jennér “haven't made up our minds yet” about whether to move their home to Indianapolis or some nearby town and probably wouldn't do $0 “until after the baby arrives next month.” He indicated, however, that he robably would change his residence ater, Tucker From Same Section

Senator Jenner's move from Shoals to Indianapolis will be of first-rate importance in Republican

circles. If he changes his residence, as he is believed sure to do, he will avoid almost certain political conflict with Secretary of State James Tucker who comes from nearby Paoli, Mr. Tucker is seeking the Republican nomination for U. 8 Senator in 1944 and a political party almost never hands its two top nominations to men from the same section of the State. Mr. Jenner, whose term in the State Senate is expiring, said that he would not seek a seat again in the Upper House but he refused to comment on the possibility that he might seek some other State post on the Republican ticket.

Better Opportunity Here

He said he was establishing a law office in Indianapolis because of “economic reasons.” He pointed out that a great share of his home county of Martin had been incorporated in the Burns City Naval Depot with the result that the law business in Shon was due to go into a slump soo! “I feel that Indianapolis offers me better business opportunities,” hel on declared. He will practice by himself. His offices will be at 1117 Circle Tower Building. Mr. Jenner's closest political associate, Rep. Frank T. Millis, House floor leader during the last legislative session and the manager of his unsuccessful campaign for the|: G O. P. gubernatorial nomination last year, has already moved to Indianapolis. Mr. Millie, who formerly lived at Campbellsburg, is new connected with the State Civil Defense Couneil and has charge of setting up the county eivilian defense organisations.

A bell clanged and in 47 seconds the children proved to Delver Carder, principal, that they knew what to do when the air raid alarm sounds. They keep their heads and they go to their places in the rooms and halls on the lower floor of the school building.

Calm and alert, pupils at Crooked Creek School go through their first aid raid drill

An air raid drill, Mr. Carder explained, is just the opposite of a fire drill. The object is to get the pupils into the building rather than out of it. Once inside, the children are to stay away from

windows, remain quiet and be alert for further orders.

TAKE APPLICATIONS FOR PERSONNEL JOB

Examination applications for chief case work supervisor in the State Personnel Division will be received at the division office not later than Jan. 8. The examination is to establish State-wide and County eligible lists from which to fill vacancies in this class. Applications must be made an official form obtainable at po. Indiana Employment Service office, County welfare office or from the State Personnel Division. The pay range for the position is $200 to $245 per month and a wage survey is now being made which may result in raising the amount.

A chief case work supervisor is responsible for technical case supervision and instruction of “visitors” and “case work supervisors” and assists the director in administrative problems in the County department.

Has Nine Days To Make Good

By UNITED PRESS Adolf Hitler has nine days in which to make good his boast that he would end the war in 1941. He said last Jan. 1: “Soldiers, the year 1941 will bring consummation of the greatest victory of our history.” Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch, dismissed as conmander in chief of the Arrwy by Hitler, said in his Christmas message last year: “Today we face England, who will be protected by the sea only as long as it suits us. We have one more task to perform—to force to the ground this last most bitter enemy. We are convinced that the war is already won.”

school were taken to the Bus Station Saturday, Donald got hold of a ticket that was intended for a little girl whose home is in South Bend. Donald got onto the South Bend bus and, snuggled between a couple of soldiers, traveled all the way to the northern part of the state. The little girl, Charmoni Marlow, was left standing without a ticket in the Bus Station. As soon as J. A. Raney, superintendent of the school, discovered her plight he realized that Donald was traveling on the wrong bus. Charmoni was started on her way half an hour later, South Bend police were notified and, meeting the bus, they identified the boy by his luggage, bought him a meal and sent him back Jo Indianapolis. Mr. Raney then put Donald on a Muncie bus, and Donald's adventure came to an end.
