"WE CAN'T WIN ALL THE TINE" is
the plaintive cry of the Debated Nip
ponese Admiralty, as this hitherto
pompous group of would-be world con-
querors attempt to prepare the Japan
csc populace for the terrible loss suffer
ed by the supposedly invincible Jap
anese Grand Fleet at Midway. This
group, represented by an Admiral whose
name is not disclosed, probably Yam
amoto, he who said he looks forward
to debating peace terms to the United
States in the White House in Wash
ington) however, stress the fact that
the japanese Navy "can take it" and
citing several instances where their
feet came from behind to blast out a
victory over superior foe. This writer
is not foolish enough to think the Japs,
who at the beginning of the present
conflict possessed a Pacific battle feet
numerically superior to the United
States and British forces combined,
thanks to their treacherous attack on
Pearl Harbor, are licked. They have,
however, been badly stung, but anyone
knowing the Japs realizes that to Save
face" they will launch other attacks
and in desperation they may even hurl'
their combined Grand Fleet and home
feet at the Midway bastion. If they do
this in an attempt to save face" then
the forces of Admiral Nimitz will give
the United Nations their greatest vic
tory, for history discloses that the Japs
when losing, Just CAN'T TAKE IT" and
blow up ike a powder factory struck
by lightning.

On THE EASTERN FRONT the Russians
and the German hordes have establish
ed contact over hundreds of miles of
front. The fighting in some sectors is
severe, and neutral observers believe
that the German high command is al
most ready to launch their promised
big drive. However, there are other
observers who say the Germans are
unable to launch full scale general
offensive this year. If this is true then
the "Huns" will never launch another
great offensive for by 1913 the United
Nations will be able to launch often
sives on all fronts and in the hack, TOO.

OLD BEDsrRAns, old springs, pipe
some rusty, some cracked and split
ancient farming implements and even
few automobile tires are finding their
way into the salvage bin in Plaza
Square. This conglommeration of
metal and rubber is being sold to rep
utable dealers who will in turn see that
it is turned over to reprocessing fac
tories, where it will be reclaimed to
furnish materials badly needed in the
manufacture of munitions, etc. The
money from the local sales is being
turned into the U. S. o. drive. So if
you have some old iron, aluminium, or
even an antique rubber tire, bring it to
the bin in the square-who knows the
scrap you turn in might help make the
bomb that will blast Hitler-entomb
Mussolini or extinguish Hirohito, the
first son of the Rising Sun.

ACCORDING to our rotund friend,
Mayor Edward c. Evans, the bathing
beach will be officially opened on the
Fourth of July. This is welcome news,
especially to the younger generation; it
is, however, especially welcome news
to the dozens of local citizens who
night after night have gone out to the
beach and work hard and FOR FREE"
to complete the project. These unsung
heroes of the "splintery hands" and
"aching backs" have given their all to
further the cause. The work, however,
has been instructive-in fact it has been
a college education for many. 1t was
really surprising to see some of the
fellows renew acquaintanceship with
shovel-to see how awkardly they
handled the tools of their youth, others
were amazed to learn that the Georgia
Buggy" was not southern form of
conveyance, but a Iowly wheelbarrow.
All in all, however, the fellows enjoyed
and are enjoying the work and much is
still to be done-so why not join the
ranks of the humble and righteous and
do your bit for the cause?

We COULD NOT CLOSE the column
without at least one poem. This week
the offering comes from Norris Emory
of this city, who did not write it, but
received it from a soldier friend:
'IvY LEAF"
We're on the alert and qveH prepared
And rdriH' 10 go, tho SomeS0haf scared
But once ave get there age'H do our best
To rid this qvorld of that yelloqV Pen.
Those laps, the sHeakS, they'Ve shoaVH
their hand
AHd with foul tactics haze taken some
land
But qoe'H get it all back and much more
And driVe them back TO their Vsry oz0H

Ven teach them a lesson they'll Hsvsr
forget
AHd for long, long time they qvill
regret.
