EASTERN SNOWS TAKE .TOLL IN AIRLINER CRASHES

The Helping Hand Of America - " The responsibilities that came to the United States as a result of victory in the war are not fully known to the Amerenan people. The history-making events that are taking place in Europe and the Far East naturally reach the headlines but many another important job is being accomplished in obscurity.

I ' An examnle of this is found in the Pacific islands. The !

Marshall group, which is typical, belonged to Germany until -r&fiLThen Japan, as one of our Allies in World War I, seized the islands, and her authority was legalized by a League of Nations mandate in 1922. Japan held the islands, using many ojhem as navuliind air bases, until we freed them near the close of World War II. " 1 Thus, purely as a consequence of war, the problems of thousands of natives living on scores of islands became our problems. And it is pleasant to report that the United States Xavy, which is the administrative agency, is taking these problems very seriously. .

1 The Navy is training officers in the arts of military government. It ts making aggressive efforts to reestablish a system of adequate education. It is paying particular attention tft -health and sanitation. It is attempting to revitalize what little industry and commerce the islands are capable of maintaining. Its purpose, in sum, is to assist the inhabitants to stand on their own feet. 4 .This is no s;mple task. An immense amount of work is linns done by the -Navy. Thus, the hand of America reaches out to tiny islands whose very names are unknowp to all but alfew persons.

Return to the cities and towns of $5,000,000 of the state's annual Motor Vehicle Fund of S42.751.614.' to build and maintain the cities' heavily traveled streets. The $20,000,000 redistribution to cities and towns is in addition to the $1500,000 now received by municipalities and the grant of $900,000 to larger cities from motor vehicle fund allocations to counties. "The biggest part of this money cpmes from the cities and towns, and we are only asking

Notwithstanding increases in salaries and wages, materials and maintenance, cities are faced with widespread obsolescence in equipment. This now has to be

replaced as quickly as possible, Mayor Youkey said. "A fair share back to the civil cities and towns of state-collected revenues is the simplest and most direct method of solving the plight of the cities," Mayor Youkey said. The League's financial aid program was adopted at its convention in Indianapolis last summer.

"Tom, Oh Tom!" Julie cried. AS the North Wing flared up, all the guns were silent. Then the gunboat was butting into the landing and a detachment of Marines sprang ashore. A young lieutenant saluted Julie and Aurore. "Buckets," he said. "Where've you got them!" Half of Harrow was ruined before they got the fire out Julie, Aurore and Ccclie were placed under house arrest. Then, the next day, Tom Meredith rode up to Harrow. He ran up the stairs calling, "Julie, Julie!" '" Aurore met him. "I'll send Julie to you," she said, "if she wishes to come. But I cannot invite you innot in that uniform. Now, if you'll wait outside ..." Slowly, Tom walked out. Then behind him was the clatter of small slippers and Julie's breathless voice, "Tom!

In the summer the sky above the prisoner-of-war camp at Fort Jackson was naked and cloudless. Filling the canvas bags to be used as bulwarks was killing work, even tor a young man and Stephen Fox was sixty-two years old. But he labored silently with the'other prisoners. Aurore visited him as often as she could. Her news was brief. No, we haven't heard from 'Tienne. Yes, the children are well. Julie as well as could be hoped ... the diet isn't any too good for one expecting a child. Ceclie nothing about her no, never tell him about Ceclie! (Ceclie riding into town in a neto riding dressnew when all the .other women were in rags. And the officers riding up to Harrow Yankee officers!

There were other things she did not tell him, either, as the days dragged into years. (Well be in Washington in three weeks remember?) How it was at Harrow, she and Julie digging up the floors of the smokehouses and washing the dirt to obtain the precious salt, drying sweet potato squares for "coffee." But we have milk, even at four Yankee dollars a quart, thanks to Ceclie. Julie weeps when she has to drink it, knowing its source. But Ceclie doesn'' care . . . she, I fear, hasn't any heart. But I cannot tell you these things, my poor old darling Not these nor how it feels to watch you dying by inches and jesting about your rags.
