WAR III IS BEING FOUGHT -"" War JII is being- fought ... on the streets and highways of America, Although the strife of War II is many months past, this new peacetime war against traffic accidents is just getting under way. And the battle is being lost. In Indiana, 860 people died in crashes involving motor vehicles in 1945. Prospects are that the toll will reach 1,200 or 1,300 this year. The total economic loss due to accidents may reach $58,000,000: Hoosier police departments will attempt to stem the tide of peacetime traffic deaths by joining a nation-wide motor vehicle safety check program, sponsored by the International Assoqiation of Chiefs of Police. Police will inspect vehicles and note unsafe conditions. Owners will be reminded of their responsibility to drive mechanically fit cars. . Every car owner owes it to himself and to the community to give full co-operation to the police in this program. Every driver needs to improve his driving, and to accept the responsibility of protecting his life and the lives of those with whpm he shares the highway. . . ; War III must be won. The plan of battle is . . . drive safely; drive a car that is safe.

We are on the warpath at the sanctuary. Early' in March starling moved into martin's house and there were no shells to be

had for the small target. However,

we could buy fishing poles so with some mended and new ones we have come this far. I am convinced that there is no worse pest than English sparrow, with all his ego and persistence. Martin came March 11 and we have a

very nice colony but it means continual fighting. I have seen English sparrow fool arwund most of the summer trying to get in a house and never have a chance to

nest. This year as last he ran martins out of three rooms in one

house, but he will get none of

them. Martin is not a fighter and

sparrow can stick his contemptible tail right straight up and dart in

martin's house right between his

short little legs and he is helpless.

Eventually sparrow usually leaves the house with a pole in it and

martin can again return to his or

iginal room if onlytfor sleeping. This time of year I generally put them to bed to be sure there are

no aliens in the camp.

The Truth About That Explosion

For treeks Homer Bentley Iibs tried to uproot that big stump in his hayfield . . . with team and tractor. Finally he succeeds breaks a score of windows round about, and frightens the neighbors half to death!' , ' "All I used," apologizes Homer, "was a couple1 of small sticks of dynamite, like you should." "That was no two small sticks of dynamite,'' Judge Cunningham says eeverely and it finally comes out that Homer got so cussed mad at that everlasting stump, he'd plant

ed a charge of TNT beneath its roots. ; Reminds- you of all the excuseshuman beings use to cover up bad judgment. Like the "two-beer alibi." When somebody gets into trouble, and blames it on "a couple of beers," you can be mighty sure they are covering up the truth. From where I sit, a moderate beverage like beer is a better way of keeping out of trouble than getting into it

PORTLAND, Oro., May 15 (U.P) The Hurse Siamese twins, whose one week of life was fraght.with problem after problem, died Tuesday. ' 1 Carol, the smaller of :he blonde babies born joined together at the base of their t;pines, died early yesterday, with Susan following in 25 minutes, despite penicillin treatments yesterday. No operation to save Susan was

possible because the babies had a common circulatory system. They died according to Dr. J. V. Springer, from acute inflation of the intestines, "possibly caused by the way they were joined together." The mother, Mrs. Mary Hurse, "seemed relieved, because the babies could not possibly have walked."

Society at McCormick's Creek park, and gave a chance to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. Many of the pioneers are gone but it is good io ee the

interest of younger folk , iri this phase of conservation. The stat is now divided into, districts comprising several counties in each district with its own organization and new interest is stimulated and many new members are enrolling. McCormick's Creek and Turkey Run have women naturalists who conduct tours for guests. The vice

president Howard Michaud of

Purdue, is of French , parentage and a good man in his place. His sister, also a teacher, had some

very good drawings of sparrows by children under eleven years of age. Indiana chose sparrows for the project for this year and these were on separate cards the size

of an ordinary book and described

by Miss Michaud. There are quite a number in the state, some migrants, and others which we

should know. She spoke of the beauty of English sparrow! Many teachers find time for bird study and many other busy folk delight in it. Arthur L. Smith' of the South Bend schools delighted the audience with his illustrated lecture on "The Lure of the Outdoors," pictures taken by himself of flowers, trees, streams, cabins in the wood, both in spring and fall. Just now song sparrow sits on the look-out wire and pours out his melody of song for this rainy day. Why not? He has a nest very

neatly fashioned in a small arbor vitae near the table where he can have rolled oats and other morsels for himself and family. We

shall need to watch for that in

terloper, cowbird, that often preys upon him. Interesting, too, was a

visit to the museum with speci

mens of mounted birds, some live ones, freak growths of trees and other things, a map of canyon and its geology, etc. Just as we ar

rived a group had banded a snowy owl and released it. What it was

: doing here so late we wondered. I Several have been seen and some j killed the past winter as ,they

came for food. There was a scarcity of lemmings on which they depend largely for food and we did not receive them cordially, did we? The meeting was held in Canyon Inn, which would be a delightful resting place any time in the year with , its spacious rooms and fireplaces and conveniences. There was an exhibit of bird drawings by an artist, in natural .pictures of birds as we know them as well as new ones. It was a good day and we felt encouraged to go on with the work we

love. I have noted with pleasure the organization of a junior Audubon Society in the Sullivan schools. They have a standing invitation to visit the sanctuary. There were bus loads of youngsters at the meeting who must carry on this good work. We are enjoying some delectable candied prunes which came asan Easter and wedding greet

ing from our California brother and wife, also a bux of candy fr6m the children. They got some food hard to purchase where they live. Food has become an important item with us has it not? It is a real problem for the homemaker, especially the town and- city dweller, to find much variety. Wo never did eat as many potatoes? Surely faulty distribution ac

counts for some of it and some insist on selling to the black market, else there would be none.Peonies are rushing out and it looks as if there would be a flower shortage for decoration. They are the same delightful flower and of course, improve with crossing and cultivation. A few years ago we planted some seed and one of the best in our garden is a fine pink one that 'came from seed.

One of these days the weather

man will turn on the heat which will be good for our shrinking coal piles. Just heard the news of

a truce, of the miners. Do we have a constitutional government or a

dictator. Better decide that when

the opportunity comes. E. C. G., Carlisle.

"They won't," John said. j )

John and Jessie walked home side by side. THE Fremonts walked home throvtfi the deserted streets. Later, when they had put on .'obes,- Jessie was overcome with despondency. Why did they chnos do so many magnificent things, only to fail? Why did not a good marriage lead to an equally good career? Was there something in the one which excluded the other? But when she and John kissed, they knew that there was neither failure nor unhappiness in their world, whatever might happen, if they loved and worked together, Jessie murmured, "Story writers say that love is concerned only with young people. How blind they are; the best romance is inside marriage." The Fremonts were a family of. five when they returned to their Mariposa land in California. Jessie had borne anather son, Frank. The Fremohtville of which they had

f conducting tne tiny mountain school

dreamed at last came into being. They had a store and a school. They built log cabins for the families of the miners who worked for-John and who lislped hipi fight the claimjumpers banded into Iho illegnl Hornitas League. ; With ti. nucleus of her own three children, Jessie soon found herself conducting the school. Half a dozen of John'sminers' wives, as well as others amon their Sierra neighbors, brought in their children several limes a week. Three years sped by. Lily was a tall, sturdy girl of f.ftoen who liked best to ride the mountain trails on her crenmcolored horse. Little Charlie and Frank, too, were learning to ride, becoming strong in the open air. The outlaws of the Hornitas League grew bolder as they jumped more claims and the California courts ruled that anyone could enter and take possession of a mine if it was

unoccupied for only five minutes. In this way, John lost the

Pine 1 ree mine when his guard was bribed. John worked hard but he was restless. Constantly, he made trips and planned others. Jessie did her best to make their settlement homelike but after almost being First Lp.dy of the United States it was difficult to throw oneself host tily into being First Lady of Fremontville. She and John were awakened one morning by a knock at the door. A man's voice called, "Colonel, the Hornitas League has jumped the Black Drift." He explained that six of John's miners had been at work intide, a fact which the League had not known when thev

tried to take possession. The outlaws had decided to starve the men out. John buckled on his gun belts. "They won't
