Has the scorched earth policy
of the Russians been factor? I
have neither been there to see
nor talked to any one who has
seen. I have on occasion found
the Russians highly imaginative
in the accounts of what has
transpired. But I believe the
scorched earth policy is being
applied and is working for these
reasons:
Russia is unlike the U. S. A. in
its high degree of political or
ganization. Every village in Rus

litical organization, directly
linked to Moscow. Its local viii

Bedford, Ohio.-Many Of the men,

the Fourth of July weekend visiting
their homes and fishing. The Schu-

spent the weekend at Vermillion.
Brother Fred tells us he caught some
prize fish. Art Grocott was visi-
tor at Huron, while Mr. and Mrs. Ber-
ME Kubera spent their vacation in In

wife took trip up to Columbus.
Mike Even has left this firm and is
working for the Thompson Products
Company in Cleveland. We wish him
luck in his new job.
Louise Lowe is having a bad case
of the blues. Wonder why; we just
can't find out. Tony DePompei
smashed the tenders on his new car
trying to get into his garage at the
plant. Guess it will have to be made
wider for him.
The shop committee met the other
day in the office to talk over bust
ness with young Mr.. Walker. Dur
ing the conversation he was called to
the phone and in his absence Mr.
Walker, Sr., walked in. One of the
jiggermen remarked that he had seen
him some place before. Mr.. Walker
replied that it was possible. This
