Strengthened by Victory

Neps 4naIysi and Commentator.

civilian population In the enemy
countries, the story is little dill
ferent. 1t is specialized for Italy
where the people are frankly told:
If you want to stop the bombing OF
your cities, make peace now The
Germans are not ready for such q
message as this is written but they
may be before long.
To them, defeatist propaganda will
be served in large doses now mucn
more effective since they have tast-
ed real defeat in Africa. Instead OF
hammering on the theme as former
ly, 1.-THE Allies will win" the radio
now tells them in cool and factual
statement, 1.-The Allies are winning.
The unbeatable Germans we're beat
en- in Africa.
The second line of attack is
variation of the invasion warning
which now also is much more tell
ing. No actual information can be
broadcast on this subject and every
thing that is said is carefully
checked by the general stats but
it follows the line OF the Presidents
statement after Casablanca, We
will attack the continent from the
northern capes of Norway to the
eastern islands Of the Mediter-
ranean" and right now, the Ger
mans are beginning to feel the truth
of this statement.
Deadly Parallel
Details OF the surrender at Tunis
and Bizerte and on the Cape Bon
peninsula will be repeated. Coolly
and effectively, the deadly parallel
will be presented; what the German
government told the people would
happen, what did happen; what the
German communicates said had hap
pened, what actually happened-the
fight to the last cartridge versus
/ the huge stocks of ammunition cap
tured by the Allies and the German
troops marching up without guards
to report to the prison camps.
So Herr Goebbel's weapon, which
has turned in his hand, is given a
slight push.
| The Germans are brilliant stu
dents but somehow their learning
always seems to fall just a little
short of practical application. Lis
ten to what Herr Hitler himself
wrote in "Mein Kampf'' about Amer
lean and British propaganda in the
last war which Rc-pfaised highly and
which he admits he used as model
for his own in this war:
THE war propaganda OF the Eng
lish and Americans was psycholog-
ically correct wrote the fuehrer-
to-be as he sat in jail after his first
putsch. In the beginning, 1t sound
ed crazy and impudent; later, It was
no more than unpleasant; and finally,
it was believed. After four and a
half years, there broke out in Ger
many a revolution whose slogans
came from the enemy's war propa-
ganda.
Hitler didn't know it but he was
! writing history that is about to re-
peat itself before long.

Planners for the
Postwar World

Never before in history have men
expended as much time and money
in an effort to plan better world.
Kites rise against the wind and the
demonelogy of Nazidom has swept
away the gilt and the gee-gaws OF
our civilization and left bare the
foundations with all their potential
strength and pitiful weakness. The
positive forces of evil have general
ed positive forces of good to oppose
them.
AT this moment more than 1877 i'm
portant government agencies in
Washington and private organiza-
tions scattered throughout the coun-
try, not counting various state and
smaller local groups ARE engaged
in research or public education on a
national scale on the problems fac
ing the United States when the war
ends" according to the findings of
a recent investigation by the Twen-
tieth Century Fund, research or
ga1rzatior.
The interesting thing about these
studies is that most OF them agree
on one constructive peacetime goal
which is considered essential to
bring about necessary reforms and
that is full employment"--in 9TH
er words, job for everybody who
can and will work. The war has
shown what tremendous, potential
production is possible. II it is main

CLINTWOOD HAS FIRE
ALARM

Clintwood hc'd its first fire
alarm in many Months Thursday.
The fire was at the home of Mrs.
John Orr, in the east end, and,
it was said, was put out by the
family before any damage to
speak of was done. 1t was report
ed that a lighted cigarette had
been dropped and a hole burned
in the floor before the blaze was
put out.
When the alarm was sounded,
volunteer firemen of the town
rushed out to man the hose cart
but encountered considerable de-
lay in getting the equipment in
order. About 500 feet CT hose had
been left rolled and ready for use
but it was found that someone
had unrolled and disconnected
the hose in SO sections and had
scattered it all over the building.
All this had to be put back to-
gether and wound up again, and
by the time this was done and
the fire department got under
way the townspeople were re-
turning from the fire.

Fisherman Solves
Mystery Of
Dead Fish

Some hing of a furry was ere
ated hereabout this week when
two boys reported finding a pile
Of dead fish under the Cranes
Nest bridge, because the con-
clusion was that the river had
been dynamited. Then the story
grew by leaps and bounds that
every hole in Cranes Nest for
two miles above the bridge had
been dynamited and speculation
started as to who could or would
have committed such a vile deed.
Paris Mullins, the Clintwood
fisherman, was interested and
went to satisfy himself as to the
truth of the report. He found
among the lot some croakers and
other varieties of fish not found
in the streams of Dickinson coun
ty. He happened to remember
seeing a pile Of the same sort Of
fish piled by the roadside near
Fuller Gap at one time and of
herring at the time that they
were emptied from a truck be-
cause they had spoiled, and he
concluded that such was the case
in this instance.
Accordingly, he set about to
convince those who would have
it that the fish under Cranesnest
bridge had been killed by dyna-
mite that such was not the case.
But they would not be convinc-
ed and started remembering cir
cumstance after circumstance
that made it certain to them that
they were right.
And SO the matter hung fire
until Claude Cochran, who lives
lust across from the bridge VOL
unteered the information that he
saw the fish emptied from pass
ing truck, that the supply OF ice
carried to preserve the fish gave
out and that they became unfit
for human consumption and the
dealer thought it best to get rid
of them.
And so the mystery was salts
factcrily explained to all who
merely desired to know how 1t
happened. But those who appar-
entity wish to believe the worst
under every circumstance still
refuse to be convinced.
