PARKING METER
CASE in COURT

Middletown, Ohio. = One parking
meter case that required two minutes
of the courts time and a half-hou1
talk by Judge Edward H. Dell before
courtroom crowded with spectators
including four city commissioners and
police officials marked the first and
probably the last night session, Mon
day night.
Judge Dell began the session by
saying he had called the unusual night
court "to clear up any misunderstand-
ings regarding the courts attitude to-
ward the parking meter ordinance
He announced he had been advised by
City Clerk Harry c. Kempf that SO
motorists had been cited for meter
violations and had paid their fines
and only four were on the docket for
hearing since the meters went into
operation June 16.

America gets used to the idea of
business NOT as usual with great
slowness and uncertainty.
We like to think of things going
along pretty much as they have been
going along.
Of course we, as people, like to
think of prospective pay raises, quit
ting the old job, maybe getting a new
job, perhaps moving to another house
But for the main currents of life,
we like to think they'll keep on being
just about the same.
1t isn't easy for most of us to get
the idea that things are NOT normal,
that they will be still further from
normal and that for perhaps years
there will be no such thing as GER
tainty of the future regarding the
things that mainly make up the av-
erage life's experiences.
Orders are going out from Wash
ington that knock into a silly Kind of
old hat the idea of business as usual" /"
or "life as usual"
Ii you've wanted new car in the
past you could march out and get one,
granted you had the first payment.
Can you do that next year, with car
production cut in half, or cut more
than that?
Refrigerator makers are being told
they must cut production, maybe stop
it. And you've been planning to get
new one!
Washing machines are ordered to
cut down, perhaps stop their produc-
tion. Tanks and planes need the steel.
Unless you hurry up you may not get
a new washing machine until after
the war. And even the old standby
washboard may no longer be made of
zinc.
These items are but samples. Watch
for leather to be hit about the same
way. And many other things.
You're going on in the same old
way. War is only faint shadow out
over the ocean somewhere?
America wakens slowly to the por-
tents, the dangers, the changing ways.
But the change is rushing upon us!
Again, as has been said before, in
fact we are at war and guns have
the first claim upon everything guns
and planes and tanks and battleships.
Along with the thousand other things
that go to the making of modern war.
More than that, rising prices will
change the diets Of great numbers. A
cent or two up and an item goes out
of the family menu-slips right off

Himself incapable of conceiving the
chapters of his own Book
Whose familiar foreign policy" was
dictated to him
By Herr Professor General Haus-
hofer-
Visiting him in prison, arrested as
a disturber-
Giving him blueprints of course for
him to follow
Receiving carte blanche when Hit
Ter came to power
Then establishing his bureau, of
1000 specialists
Building up that enormous Stra-
tegic Index
Covering the world in its cata-
logues-
Including Polish weat her, and
United States Senators.
That impulse which started Hitler
on his road
Came from Prussian Kriegs Gen
eral Haupt QUARTER
Which for a quarter century has
had but one theme
Same which led Wilhelm III to
speak of ''Ich und Gott"-
Which sang Hymn of Hate against
British decades ago
Dreaming then, and now, that i'm
possible nightmare
So grotesque that men have failed
to believe they meant it
Of Deutschland Ueber Alles"-
These Nahsti Nordic supermen-
Have scant regard for normal hu-
man standards
They aim to rule the world.

Truths Pondered While
Riding at
Anchor
"Then gently scan
your brother man"
BY Mr.. MOdestus-

"Spurlos versunken"-
Sunk without trace, in Atlantic wa
ters-
Doubtless Herr Leutnant expected
that outcome
His mistake was, letting the boats
get away at all
Though 800 ocean miles made land
ings safely impossible
While silenced signals of o
precluded rescue of Yankee pigs
That Nahsti U-boat commander had
too much decency-
To use machine guns on Robin
Moor lifeboats-
Not enough decency to send signals
for help
What he had was Nahsti decency-
Worlds synonym for indecency.
Therell be no doubt who dragged
America into this war
When history writes it's verdict next
time
Generations to come may blame

the table, not to return for long time
Wool goes to the army and your
suit will contain less, probably; and
cost more. SO the old one does for a
while longer.
If YOU think life goes on as usual
take stock of your own affairs. And
look just little bit ahead.
Some argue whether we should take
sides, with or against Hitler. All OF
which is perfectly silly, because we
HAVE taken sides-the die is cast
beyond revocation.
What we have to do is face
facts as they are-and they are
the facts of war.
The facts of changing way of life
with old habits, old ways, old plans
all kicked into limbo.
And change will continue until g
madman is shorn of his power tx
march in ruthless brutality over the
face of the world.
So, we will do what we have to do
live as we have to live, until the issue
is settled finally. 1t will be well to
become conscious Of the facts of the
situation. C. M. w.

Realizing the Importance of AIDE

inaugulated at the Wayne county air
port several months ago which will
enable it to meet the heaviest military

manager of the Wayne county airport,
reports to a special defense committee
of the Wayne County Board of Super
viSOrS.
This improvement program, princi-
pally composed of runway extension
and military hangar enlargement, was
designed to accommodate great num-
bers of large bOmbeIs and fast pursuit
planes" Mr.. Smith explained.

the fourth busiest airport in the cOun-
try, with much of the traffic attribut-
able to the civilian pilots training pro
gram, which contemplates the training
of 1900 pilots TIL OughOut the coun-
try.
Wayne county airport is engaged
in a close race with three other air
potts for the highest volume OF air
plane movements. Peak traffic has
been 800 movements in one day. This
traffic, of course. consists largely OF
small ships However, an idea of the
volume of traffic is given by the fact
that LaGuardia airport. New York
city, has 600 movements of airliners
daily"
At the Wayne county airport two
classes of pilots in the CPTP have
been graduated and a third class is
well along Four air schools are now
engaged in this work and fifth
school will open shortly. Usage of the
field will increase materially next
spring and summer.
The largest hangar, 12S feet by h34
feet, is filled with planes almost to
capacity. About 80 of the 80 planes
pArked in the hangar are used for
CPDP training
A survey by the Federal AerOnaut-
les Authority revealed that the Wayne
county airport conformed in every
way to standards for the highest air
port rating, except in length and
width of rulrways. The runways are
being extended to $500 feet in length
and $50 feet in width, to meet re-
uuirements Of the U. 8. army air corps
Construction work on the runway
extensions. now half completed, is be-
ing carried right on through the win
ter months. The work, which will be
completed early this summer. has been
al ranged 40 that there is no interfer-
ence with present air traffic.
The old runways, which served sat
isfactOrily until the present. were
5000 feet i'm length and 100 feet wide
The existing runways will be widened
with a yslfOOt black top strip on each
side. The extensions consist or CON
crete 100 feet wide and similar black
top strips.
