Over 600 pupils and 25 teachers
jubilantly moved into the new

School, Rockville, Monday, Jan. 5,
as the resumption of classes fol-
lowed the Christmas holidays.
Nearly twenty one months ago
the old Rockville high school was
practically destroyed by fire and
since then students have received
their education in various other
schools or under crowded condi-
tions here.
Following inspiring talks by
Judge Charles M. woodward; Prin-
cipal Daryl w. Shaw; County
School Superintendent Edwin w.
Broome, and Student Government
President Hansen Watkins, with
appropriate exercises at the old
school auditorium, the group then
walked in body to the new build
ing located on the old fair grounds.
All the speakers admonished the
students to care for the new build
ing, equipment and material. With

Unfortunately, the increase in
the industrial production will be
in the defense industries. Nine
teen-forty-two will show consid-
cradle decline in the non-defense
industries. 1t is well for my
friend Odlum and others to talk
about shifting over manufacture
ers of lawn mowers to making
battle tanks. To certain extent
this will be done in 1912, but a
great many non-defense concerns
will suffer if the war continues
through 1912. Washington tells
me that with Japan, Germany
and Italy fighting US we may
need 500 of the wage workers
Of the country on defense works
before Hitler is eliminated. This
seems very high to me as Great
Britain now has less than 300
engaged in defense industries.
WILL BOMBING WIN
THE WAR?
Most readers, whether employ
ers or wage workers, should pri-
marily be interested in whether
World War II will continue in
it's present fury through 1912.
If it will so continue, this is
good news for those engaged in
the defense industries, and bad
news for those who are in certain
non-defense industries. If the
war is to end during 1912, then
the reverse is true. In fact, we
would then see some hectic times
which would be detrimental to
many readers, even though help
full to others. Therefore, let's
bravely face the facts and answer
the question "WiU World War
II continue through 1942?"
It would be impossible to lick
Hitler By an army of INFUSION
before December 81, 1912. Most
aviators are not very hopeful
about the effects of bombing.
They believe that cities gradually
become immune to bombing as in
dividuals become immune to al
most everything which comes
along slowly and lasts long
enough. OF course, if the Brit
ish and Americans should invade
Europe, bombing planes would
tremendously help the invading
army by destroying the enemy's
communication lines, crops, and
oil. But for merely soaring the
people Of country, bombing has
not been successful. Statistics
indicate that the money lost in
the cost Of bombers destroyed
amounts to more than the prop
erty loss caused by the bombers.
The Multiplication Table, as well
as the Ten Commandments, is
bound TO be a factor in bringing
this war to an end. but when?
The blockade-however-is becom-
ing an impOr4 factor, but

UPRISINGS MAY COME
All of this means that the
only hope of bringing World War

uprising of the Germans, Japa-
nese, and Italians, or of the peo-
pie of the conquered nations, or
of the people of Great Britain,

peace in 1912; that many monde

may even last two or more years
after 1912; but after 1912, two
months before it ends no one will
foresee the end.

KNOWING ALL THIS, why
did he urge or direct Japan
to attack US in the Pacific?
The answer is simple. There's
one very important thing he
didn't know. He
A didn't know how
Big quickly and solidly
Mistake American senti-
ment would rally
behind an all-out WAR (not
defense) program. He hoped that
the sneaky, double-dealing Japs
would create a panic in our
country. He hoped that sentiment
in the United States would be
too divided to permit us to
launch into a total war effort.
He knows he has made
big mistake. He knows that
Americas entry into the war
means the SURVIVAL of de-
mocracies and the DESTRUC-
TON of dictators. He knows
that Americas war production
will outstrip his supreme efforts.
He knows that his militant and
misguided hordes will be over
run by superior mechanical
forces. He knows that the
swistika and Mein Kempf viii be
symbols of great evil to future
generations.
It's almost depressing to
imagine what his thoughts must
be.

Previously any applicant who
