TRIBUNE-HERALD is
ONLY NEWS SOURCE

The Hardin Tribune-Her-
aid is the only news source
of home news that Private
Mike Kiefel in Australia
has. That Is what he stated
in a letter received here this
week by Mike Kuchera.
Part of the letter reads as
follows:
There is not much we
can say and pass censorship,
but tell all of the boys that
are leaving the U.S.A. or
are about to leave to get
the Tribune-Herald because
that is second class mail
and will go anywhere. 1t is
the only thing I am having
any luck with receiving.
The other mail I get is about
five months old. I am send
ing a radiogram home ev-
cry month, but don't know
if the folks are getting
them or not. I've just got
another Hardin Tribune
Herald dated April 16, and
that is the latest news I
have had from home"
Private Kiefel's letter was
mailed from Australia on
June ID.

War Production Chairman
Nelson. speaking in Detroit, said
the U. S. will hit the real
peak of its war production pro-

one dreamed. The armament

President Roosevelt last winter
- and which seemed too vast
at the time - will be readily
realized Our productive ca
pacity IS apparently limited on

1.-THE engineering genius of
American production, VIII e n
turned from peace to war, has
proved a reservoir no one could

American men and machines
stopped competing with each
other and turned all their COM
petltive energy and abilities
against Hitler and IIirohito, ii
knocked all previous calcula-
tons of our productive powers
into a cooked hat The real
problem now is not one of pro-

better distribution of the ma

ton springs"
Chairman Nelson said "At all
costs - We must not get into
the frame of mind that this is
either an easy or a short job. If
people build on false hopes of

was called out twice Sunday to
extinguish grass fires here.
One fire was behind the Ger

partment have been burning

those wishing to have this done
should call the city clerk.

One Mans Opinion

ODDS and Ends in the Entertainment World;
" Four months to go before the year ends
but it's always interesting to speculate
about those who are in the lead for an
Academy award. If several choices had to
be made today, for example, there is little
doubt that Mrs. Miniver" would be picked
as the best picture with William Wyler
handed his Oscar as the director of the same
film.
Best performance by a female star would
very possibly go to Greer Carson once again
for Mrs. Miniver." And as for this years
male acting plum, I think Jimmy Cagney
would romp home for his great job in Yankee
Doodle Dandy"
But it's all just one mans opinion, If you

Liquor Board
Out Of Politics.,
Chairman Says
Times stan Correspondent,


i LANSING. June 18. Ralph
Thomas, chairman of the state
liquor control commission, said to-
day that politics has been elimi-
mated from the commission as re.
quested by Governor Van Wag-
oner.
"The governor has faithfully
kept his promise of hands off,"
Thomas said, "and 1 can truth
fully report that Ii the commits
sion has made mistakes during
the four months i have been Its
chairman, they have been honest
mistakes and not resulting from
political pressure"
Profits from liquor sales last
year amounted to $4,000, 900, he
said. This has been turned over tc
the states general fund.
"That explains why we have
only 10 investigators to control
licensees In the entire state" he
said. 1.-THE civil service commits
sion restricts our employment
rolls and hasn't approved an In
crease I'm the number of inspec-
tors"
Thomas said the commissions
principal concern has been the
sale of liquor "a minors. He said
1T Is our experience that the
sale to minors Is a problem only
where recreation facilities for
young people are inadequate.
These young people do not care
about drinking. They seek to
enter drinking places only when
there Is no other place open to
/ them"
