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 AmerenVan 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.

- An example of this is found in the Pacific islands. The

Marshall group, which is typical, belonged to Germany until 5T4 . Then 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 ojjhem as naval nd air bases, until we freed them near the dose of World War II. ' Thus, purely as a consequence of war, the problems of thousands of natives living on scores o.f islands became our tuoblems.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 h 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. 'This is no s;niple task. An immense amount of work is litung done by the .Navy. Thus, the hand of America reaches out to tiny islands whose very names are unknown to all but allew persons.

Drive On To Aid City Finances By Civic League

I INDIANAPOLIS, Jan.-7 ThP Indiana Municipal League today opened its drive for legislation to save Hoosier cities and towns from impending financial disaster or its alternative back-breaking property taxes. ! ' ,' In, 'a memorandum to niayors and other city officials, Riayor W. Vincent Youkey of Crown Point, the executive secretary of , the League, warned that camI naigning for tlie League's legislative program must start immediately. ! Mayor Youkey asked his Hoos- , ier coleagues to consult with I tlieir senators and representatives in the legislature and to place before the solons the plight of the state's 535 cities and towns. "With your aid," hs said, "we j can save our cities. Without it,

we are sunk." ? Key. objectives of the .League in the 1047 session of the legislature, involving the distribution of $20,000,000 in state-collected funds, are: 1. Repeal of the gross income tax on municipal revenues. 2. Return to the cities and towns of. $8,000,000 of the state's apnual gross income tax collection of $45,958,895. 3. Return to the cities and towns of $7,000,000 of the state's annual $17,061,518 Excise Tax collections,- because of the . responsibilities and additional duties falling upon the local units in enforcing of the liquor law and control of its attendant problems drunks, brawls, reckless driving, gambling, sales to 'fninors, crowded . cqutt dockets, etc., all of which demands greater police protection. . 4. Return to the cities and towns of $5,000,000 of the state's annual Motor Vehicle Fund of $42.751.614.. to build and maintain the cities' heavily traveled streets. The $20,000,000 redistribution to cities and towns is in addition to .the $4,500,000 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

SECRETARY OF THE NAVY James Forrestal presents the Navy Distinguished Sej vice Medal, awarded posthumously to the late Gen. George S.

for enough of it back to keep from sinking," Mayor Youkey said. "This $20,000,000 request is based on a 50 increase in the cost of municipal government an increase which property alone cannot bear." 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 Tomi ' 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 Auxore. "Buckets," he said. "Where've you got them!" Half of Harrow was ruined before they got the fire out Julie, Aurore and Ceclie 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!

Stephen labored silently at the prison camp ,

Ceclie wore new clothes and rode with Yankee officers.

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 for 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 ho, never tell him about Ceclie! (Ceclie riding into town in a new riding dress new when all the other women were in rags. And the officers riding up to Harrow Yankee officers! With 'Tienne dead perhaps or maimed or blind ... or mad . . . But Ceclie " laughed with the officers surrounding her.)

Oh, Tom!" He turned and stretched out his arms

There were other things she did not tell him, either, as the days dragged into years. (We'll 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 inchei and jesting about your rags. When this cruel war is over ... if you survive, you'll know nothing but happiness then, Stephen . . . I'll make it up to you then. Stephen . . . (Continued tomorrow)
