The next few weeks will for most
Americans. be the most important
weeks they have ever lived through,
For it is this writer's humble opin-
ion that by July 1st the tide of the
war will take a definite turn. We
predict that by July LIST the mighty
German war machine Will be on the
defensive 1009c. To do this the
United Nations must and will launch
a great offensive on some portion OF
the Western front. Those people
who say this is impossible surely
do not know that the English have
built up a mighty striking force
since their terrible defeat in
France. To augment the strength
of the British are thousands of per-
fectly trained and equipped Amer
lean "Doughboys" who have no
equals when it comes to fighting.
President Roosevelt in his memoir
able address Tuesday evening said
that hundreds of thousands of Am
erican' troops were abroad. These
troops have not been transported
thousands of miles through subma-
rine infested seas for the ride, They
have been sent to stamp out the en-
emies of Democracy with fire and
sword.

Those Of you who have read par
tial translations Of the latest Hit
Ter speech delivered by the Aus
trian paperhanger before his puppet
Reichstag last Sunday and can read
between the lines-see that he
(Hitler) is again attempting to TO-
Gus attention on Germany, while
he and his Geo-Politicians and his
generals plan new campaigns
against the Democracies. Time has
shown that you can't believe a
thing the Nazis say and Hitler is
the biggest liar of them all.

Today we enjoyed some delicious
home grown asparagus, brought
into our office by Mr.. Herman
Sharp, one of our successful far
mer friends. In presenting his
gift, which incidentally was shared
by Theodore Townsend, End, grand
son and namesake of the late Col
onel Theodore Townsend, Mr.
Sharp said that his grass" this
season was the best in years de-
spite the current drought.

Memorial Hospital. They have Sc
lected Tuesday, May IL, as the day
for the donations to be received
and have assigned corps of solicit
tors to call on community residents
next week. This is a most worthy
cause and is deserving of COM
support.

SOLDIERS OF THE PRODUCTION
LINE
1t. Col. Ginsberg in an address
delivered before the employees of
Goodyear Rubber Company made
this statement:
"You are soldiers of the produc-
tion line.
We soldiers of the firing line are
depending on you"
You men in the factory have a
great responsibility. AS 1 have said
heretofore, war today is entirely
different from the wars of even 80
years ago. 1t is just as important.
that the soldiers on the firing line
be supplied with the proper type of
material as it is that they have
clothes to wear and food to eat. |
Clothing, shelter and food used to
be themain items in the maifite-
nance of an army. Now, the most |
important is the apparatus with !
which they are fighting. You, as
soldiers of the production line, are |
responsible for producing material
which is absolutely essential in the |
production of war material of prac-
tically every kind. Therefore, /
again call upon you to do your
level best to produce the very best |
wire rope and aircraft specialties |
tAat it is possible to make. 1 call |
upon you to increase your produc-
tion to the greatest extent possible,
because we are receiving orders |
which the government tells us must !
be filled in the shortest possible
time. We cannot accomplish this |
without your help. l know this call
will not be in vain-I know you
will do your utmost to produce the
material required in the shortest
possible time.
