POLISH-JEWISH
COLLABORATION
FRUSTRATES NAILS

Geneva (JPS)-Secret encour-
agment and support to the ghetto
imprisoned Polish Jews by the
Poles, especially in the smaller
towns, the Krakauer Zeitung con-
fesses, has reached irrepressible
proportions as Poles and Jews
steadily refuse to yield before the
NaZi discriminatory measures.
Poles have aided many Jews to
escape from the ghettos and to
obtain much-needed food supplies,
and this Nazi-banned communion
between the two oppressed nat
ional groups has reached the point
where Nazi authorities, the Nazi
organ admits. are unable to sup
press the traffic.

New York (JPS)-Horace j.

Pointing out in his expose tnat
the new group has a five-point
program which jibes with that OF
all pro-Hitlerites in America, Mr.
Teller lists the five points as: 1.
Fight against Union Now,
which advocates a federation OF

100000 Jews Are
Executed By
GestapO In Ukraine

NEW YORK (JTA)-Two hund-
red and forty thousand Jews who
had been deported from Germany
and all parts of Central Europe
to the German-held Ukraine were
murdered by the Gestapo, accord
ing to the testimony of Hungarian
soldiers returning from the east
ern front, it was revealed here
this week by S. Bertrand Jacob
son, American relief worker, who
left Budapest with the American
diplomatic mission on January
10th.
Mr.. Jacobson, representative Of
the American Jewish Joint Dis
tribution Committee in Eastern
Europe for the past two years,
quoted one Hungarian soldier as
declaring that at one great tract
of land, near Kiev, the Ukranian
capitol, he saw the ground "move
in waves" The Germans, he said,
had just conducted a mass execu-
ton Of Jews and had buried their
victims even before life left them.
determination of Hungarian and
YugOslav Jews Described
In an interview here today, the
American relief worker accused
the Gestapo troops of having MUIR
dered fifty percent of the $4,000
jews who had been rounded up by
the Hungarian authorities in Car
patho-Russia and the Hungarian
provinces and deported in cattle
cars to German-held Galacia.
Charging that the only policy
the Germans have for the solution
of the Jewish question is exter-
mination and destruction, the
American relief worker declared
that this policy was being pursued
in every country the Nazis domi-
nate.
The Jewish population of Yugo-
slavia, he declared, had been re-
duced from $4,000 before the in
vasion Of the country to a mixi-
mum of $4,000 today. When the
Nazis occupied Belgrade, he said,
they took terrible measures" of
revenge against the patriots who
had resisted them. Jews of the
capital, he said, were rounded up
and taken in trucks, a hundred at
a time, to nearby forests where
they were executed. Today, he
reported, there are virtually no
Jews left in Belgrade and only a
few in zagreb, the Croatian capt.
tai, where the Jewish question was
put in the hands of the Italian
trained Ustachi.
Deportations from Vienna to
Galacia and the Ukraine are still
continuing, Jacobs reported, and
there are now only 10000 Jews
left in Austria, most of them aged
and infirm.

Week In Review
RATCHET DAY
~ MILTON Brown. IVA,

An article appearing la AACAOA
,ersOnaI organ, the VOelkischer
ReObachter, during the past week
,varns the German people that if
Germany loses the war, Europe
will run red with blood as a re-
suIt of pogrOms which Jews will
stage.
Hitler forsees giant pograms a.
ooinst the Germans, with the
LEWIS as the pogrom makers.
Well, that is a novel role for the
LEWIS. Hitherto he has been on
The receiving end. The thought is
mite fascinating, if we could di-
vest ourselves as the Nazis have,
Of all civilized instincts. But Hit
Ter knows full well and the Nazis
do also that the truth is far grim
mer for the Germans than he has
pictured here. He knows that if
the Jews are resentful and hui
manly vengeful, that they are but
one and perhaps the least of the
yengeful. The Nazis know for
example that the Dutch long ago
set aside what they call Hatchet
Day, when they are going to
make the Nazis pay for all that
they have suffered, they know
that the Poles, and the Czechs
and a dozen other peoples would
be glad to put poison in their cof-
fee.
THE STRUMA CATASTROPHE
STILL ROCKS PUBLIC OPINION
World wide comment on the
horrible catastrophe of the Struma
continued during the week..LOrd
CranbOne, the new Colonial Minis
Ter however stated that he accept
ed the "full responsibility" for the
policy of the Palestine adminiStra-
ton. Lord Davies very pOintedly
characterized the refusal to admit
the Struma passengers as "stupid,

The International Red Cross organ
ization has been most helpful in the
emergency and on the ship helped
ease the situation in many ways.
Warm clothing which could not be
purchased in Hawaii was furnished by
the Red Cross. Milk was given to the
children and sandwiches and coffee
were furnished for adults.
Representative of the organization
helped entertain the children on boat
and made themselves helpful in many
other ways.
Miss Niswander stated that both in
Hawaii and during the crossing to this
country they were warned repeatedly
not to give any information that
might give aid to the enemy. Conse-
quently it is highly important to give
information only within the limita-
tions imposed by governmental re-
strictions.

Honoring the boys of the Beaver
dam community in the country's
armed forces, a stone memorial is
being erected in front of the Beaver
dam school building on the Dixie
Highway with arrangements being
made for a dedicatory service in the

pay for the stone which is six feet
high and three feet wide.
Cement and labor for the founda-

Three Groups Here Will Share
In Estate OF Beayerdam Woman

Three Bluffton religious and edu-
cational institutions will benefit from
the estate of Mrs. Emma Vinson. who
died at Beaverdam on July /, it was
revealed in her will admitted to the
Allen county probate court this week.
The bequests were unexpected and
occasioned considerable surprise. The
following groups here were named
beneficiaries by the testatrix in the
original will of Nov. l, 1920.
Trustees of the Bluffton Methodist
church, $1,000; Bluffton college, $500;
Bluffton board of education for use
for the high school, $500.
Other groups and persons sharing
in the estate as named in the will are
Trustees of the Methodist church at
Beaverdam for building and improve
ments, $500; Ohio Northern university
at Ada, 500; trustees Grace Meth
odist church, Lima, 81 200; trustees of
the Columbus Grove Methodist church,
81, 200; Charles Buchanan, a Method
ist missionary in the field who is from
this part of Ohio, $500.
Some other Methodist missionary
found worthy by the Methodist minis
ters of this district, $500; trustees of
the children's home of the Methodist
church at Worthington, $1,000; to the
fund collected by the Methodist church
on Children's Day each year for ed
ucational purposes, $1,000.
The will also directed that if the
bequests cannot be paid in full, they
are to be prorated among the various
takers, with all that remains to be
paid to the Women's Home and For
eign Missionary societies of the Beav-
erdam Methodist church, share and
share alike. That provision was
changed by a second codicil, made
June 26, 1941, which named an next
of kin nephews and nieces each to re-
ceive $40. "If there is not enough
for the bequests," the instrument stat
ed, "the executor is directed to pay
the first of the items in full, then each
in full until the funds are exhausted" )"
In the original will the testatrix NOM
mated her brother, William B. Stew

an iron handed method of eliminat-
ing fifth columnists who had sold
out to Hitler.
Neither is the national debt any
cause for alarm. With the coun-
try's large resources and ability to
meet situations the debt problem will
be faced after the war and handled
with characteristic American eff
cheney. The large purchase of bonds
in this country is one of the surest
methods of heading off imitation,
Marshall stated.
While generally optimistic concern
ing the future the speaker saw a
dark picture in predicting a crime
wave after the war. If 100000
soldiers are taught how to be cruel
and practice this in time of war il
is impossible not to have some re-
action by certain anti-social individ-
uals after the war.
AIR TRANSPORTATION
A social change will take place ir
the field of transportation. With
the thousands of trained pilots anc
the mass production of airplanes
the country will witness a new era
in both freight and passenger trans
portation.
Although one can not predict the
form of government that this coun
try will have after the war, it is {
certainty that the form will be pro
foundly altered likely in the direc
ton of increased control by tht
state, the speaker pointed out.
The economic structure will likely
be changed to provide a greater bal
ance of income than has been known
in previous eras. While the ricl
man will not be entirely out of the
picture, the Inequalities will be con
siderably lessened.
LASTING PEACE
If lasting peace is to endure, once
this conflict has ceased there mus
be less greed and men will have t.
return to the principle of the bro
therhood of man, the speaker sait
in conclusion.

B. Beeshy announced the vacanc,

Efhy1 Afcohof for npfouSo

Ethyl alcohol is used in the manu-
facture of smokeless powder as a
material for the : manufacture Of
ether, which in turn is used as a
component of mixed solvent. While
this is true, ethyl alcohol has two
other uses in the production of pow
der. 1t is used as a solvent for
water, or as dehydrating agent.
After nitration, the cellulose is GEN.
trifuged to remove water as COM
pletely as possible. The remainder
of the water is removed with alco-
hol. After dehydration, the nitro
cellulose is dispersed in a mixed SOL
vent. This solvent is one part alco-
hol and two parts ether. Thus, there
is another direct use of alcohol.

The troop left Bluffton on Sunday
afternoon at 12:45 o'clock in the
Carey Niswander truck with full
load of scouts and baggage and
plenty of spirit.
The trip to camp was uneventful
save for a little sunburn and wav-
ing at the girls enroute to camp.
AS they entered the campsite the
boys were surprised to see a stone
road back to camp and a lot of
scouts coming in and leaving the
camp.
Scoutmaster Karl Gable registered
the boys for the camp and made ar
rangements for the location of the
tents in what seemed an intermin-
able time.
When arrangements were finally
completed a terrific five-minute down
pour of rain drenched the boys be-
fore they could set up their tents.
Carey Niswander drove the truck
and was accompanied by Ray Pat
terson. Scoutmaster Gable and wife
rode to camp with Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Wingate.
The campslte is located across two
ravines in a highly forested section.
