Summer Driving

According to reports from Washington,
gasoline shipments to the east are now
higher than they have been for many
months and the number Of tires to be avail
able to automobile drivers will be several
times as great this year.
These reports are apt to make some of
us think that driving restrictions will be
relaxed this summer. IL.
But it hardly seems reasonable to sup
pose that this will be the case. The extra
tires are undoubtedly being released to
make sure that war workers will be able
to continue to get to their jobs.
AS for gasoline and oil-that still is
major transportation problem. The increas-
ed flow would have to be several times
what it is today before there could be much
relaxation of rationing in the east.
Most important however, is the fact
that the manpower used for making syn

YESTERDAY, TODAY
AND TOMORROW

Yesterday, the past Of many years
gone by,
Today is the present
In tomorrow the future will be.
Let's ask ourselves these ques-
tons
And in the truth abide
And remember that old saying
Let your conscience be your
guide.
What did God do yesterday?
A wonderful thing, we know.
He died and suffered on the cross,
His love that he might show.
And what did he do today?
l am sure that we can see
He saved some poor persons
And made some sinner free.
What will he do tomorrow?
In his promise he has told
He'll shield us from the storms
of life in his fold.
What did we do yesterday?
Nothing much, 1 guess;
And what did we do today,
That the God of our soul would
bless?
What will we do tomorrow is a
story new complete.
We will live for God, our Fa-
Their, till we reach the judg-
ment seat
Let's heed His precious message
that He sends to great and
small;
Let's put our faith in Jesus, let
Him be our all and all

Hail, Graduates!

History repeats itself; for again, gradu-
alton time is near, but perhaps never in
history have so many graduates been
faced a similar situation as that which
greets the graduates of 1913. But never
before have they had such an opportunity
for service
Some of these graduates will soon en-
ter the armed forces and do their part for
victory and democracy. This will mean
that planned careers must be delayed, but
it must also be remembered that without
victory, none of us can continue our ca
reers in any chosen field. Military ex-
perience, too, is in many ways a continual
ton of education, and from it, many ad-
mirable qualities may be developed Cour-
age, response to authority and the capacity
to sacrifice personal interest in behalf of
a commanding cause are some of the quail
ties which may come out OF it.
Other students will probably take their
places in war plants and some few will
have the opportunity of further training
in colleges. Wherever graduates go they
will find real opportunity for service.
You are to be congratulated for the
work and training you have completed in
the high schools of this county. Your grad
uation is an achievement and an inspira-
ton. In the true sense of the word may
commencement be beginning of bigger,
broader field of service for you.
Your parents teachers, school officials
and every citizen who has helped to make
our fine schools possible, have a part in
your graduation and should feel justly
proud of you.
We dedicate this issue of this paper to
you and bring picture of our county
school system to the readers in the interest
of education and progress; for without edu-
cation there can be no progress. To every
one who has helped to make this edition
possible, we extend our appreciation par
ticularly to the advertisers. Their interest
in you and the schools is true indication
of their progressiveness.
Like everyone else, we are wishing you
full measure of success And we would like
to remind you that success in life is not
always a matter of so much talent or op-
portunity as of concentration and preser-
vance. Carry on help to build better
worlds in which to live.

Re-reading Mitchell in the midst
OF the war is thrilling experience.

OF nations. Accurate vision is re-

est Americans who ever lived. Even
those of us who spent more than a
quarter of a century in military
aeronautics and were fully aware of
Gen. Mitchell's Importance are only
beginning to understand the magni-
tude of his genius. In the light of
actual events we recognize that he
was a real creator of modern STRAIT
egy-so far ahead of his time that
his country's military leaders still
trail behind him, with only glim-
merings of what he was trying to
tell them.
1t is interesting to observe that

Job of delivering a Knockout blow;
even today we are dissipating air
power in variety Of indirect and
auxiliary purposes. This, too, Gen.
Mitchell had forseen. Emphasizing
that air power must be assigned
a definite mission in its particular
sphere OF activity" he had added:
Without a mission of this Kind
being specifically, prescribed, the
aeronautical effort will be dissipated
between land and water and other
services SO that the maximum
efficiency cannot be obtained"

ton, aviation is still what it was
in Mitchells time: An auxiliary to
the Army and Navy. AS to tactics,
in most respects we are initiating
those inaugurated by the enemy,
namely-land-sea-and-air teamwork
in tedious and costly mile-by mile
or islandby-island approaches. AS
to the strategic application of air
power which was the heart of
Gen. Mitchell's idea, 1t is only
being tried now, belatedly, against
Germany. And even at that. it is
being done only on fraction Of
the scale of which our great Nation
is capable.
In this half-hearted application
of Gen. Mitchells theories we are
obtaining valuable results, but we
are not obtaining a decision be-

1t was this mental power that Gen.
Mitchell possessed and that his
country wasted. A great American
airman of today declared recently
in private letter:
This gift of vision and imagina-
ton was either denied to or inhib-
tied in most of our leaders who
should have been preparing for this
present war. 1t remains to be seen
whether the lesson has been learned
and whether proper weight will be
given to air power now in order to
insure early victory and minimum
losses"

the fact that our airplanes were so
far below those of our Allies and our
enemies in regard to fire power,

has declared itself against war
reparations and in favor OF qualified
forgiveness of lease-lend debts.
The NAM, through its postwar
committee, which earlier urged
United States participation in a
postwar international antiwar move
ment, said reparations should be
exacted only for military dam
ages such as looting
In return for wiping out of lease
lend balances-over period of 25
years-the NAM suggests payment
be freedom of the world airways for
American commercial planes, agree
ment not to discriminate against
Americans or their property or busi-
ness, American access to raw ma
terials on equal terms with other
nations and agreement not to re-
quire or permit cartels.
An alternative would be cash and
specified amounts of goods and serv-
ices on mutually satisfactory terms
OF quality, price and terms of /de-
livery"
NAM further urged creation of a
world board of trade to work out
international commercial agree
ments and an international loans
