ClOn is making serious lnrOduS
on Japan's capacity to make
war. Many of US have been
somewhat impatient of develop
ments in the Pacific. Yet if
we can win without the loss Of
too many Of our soldiers and
sailors through steady and in
creasing destruction of Japan's
navy and air force the slowness
will be more than justified.
At home the outstanding de-
velopment regarding the war is
the report of the Truman Com
mittee in which severe criti-
cism has been leveled at sew
eral of >our largest builders of
airplanes. The report bristles
with specific
Truman charges. There
Committee seems no valid
Report reason why any
committee should
or could make such a report
without foundation. And it
does seem little unworthy Of
any group of Americans to
condone the slightest deviation
from perfection in the con-
struction of fighter planes. The
public will expect that any man
or men who might be found
guilty Of permitting defective
work or material in building
fighter planes and bombers will
be dealt with according to such
a crime. And it is difficult
to conjure up a punishment to
properly fit. Death is entirely
too humane. Disgrace and inn
prisonment is even less fitting.
When it is considered that one
piece, Of defective material Used
in construction Of a bomber
might mean the loss of ten to
twenty of our best young men,
to say nothing of sabotaging
the war effort, we are almost
led to urge some form of slow
torture for the culprits.

County Police
To Get 2-Way
Radio System
Commissioners Name New
Secretary For Community
Chest

A CWo-Way frequency modulated
circuit radio for Montgomery
County police seems assured by the
action of the County Commission
ers on Tuesday when Capt. Guy
L. Jones, was named police officer
to command the system, and auth
orized to undergo such instruction
as is necessary to secure his license
and to manage such system.
Lacy Shaw, president of the
Board of County Commissioners,
William H. Prescott, commissioner,
and Capt. Theodore F. Vollten,
head of the detective bureau, were
named committee to plan the in
stallation of the system. Approx
imately 100 members of the coun-
ty police force will be required to
take special courses as third-class
radio telephone operators, that the
policemen on patrol may receive
messages directly and report back
by radio.
It is understood that the system
will be of great advantage in rural
sections where telephone service is
limited. Captain Vollten pointed
out that on the Whites Ferry Road
there are no telephones for miles
and there are many other secluded
parts Of the county without tele-
phone service.
Another advantage pointed out
By Capt, yollten, private home
radio sets win not be able to pick
up the signals sent over this type
radio, a valuable feature to police
maneuvering to capture criminals.

ALL WHO CAM remember
"A the days before our entry
into the World War in 1917
will recall Henry Ford's famous
slogan "Out of the trenches by
Christmas" Now we can
paraphrase that slogan and
say "into the fortress before
Christmas" And that means
well into the European fortress
because by Christmas Italy will
have been IN
Beginning vaded and likely
OF The completely occu-
End pied. 1t is still
highly probable
that Germany's first ally will
be rendered impotent before
frost. Our invasion of Sicily
was highly successful from
every standpoint and the pro-
gress since the first landings
has been phenomenal. Cen
eral Montgomery's famous and
feared Eighth Army is making
the same type of progress which
ultimately drove the Axis out
of Africa and General Patton's
United States Army is meeting
tough Axis resistance and over
coming heavy and severe coun-
ter attacks. Sicily will be con-
quered in a short time which
will leave United Nations
forces only two and a half
miles from the toe Of the Ital-
ian boot.
1t is apparent that the Ital-
ian people have little zest for
this war. The farther our
troops go into Italian territory
the more evident is the desire to
have the war over. The Italian
people know that they viii fare
much better as a nation con-
quered by the Allies than as a
victor with Hitler. The story
might be changed when actual
invasion Of Italy proper is at
tempted. Perhaps the Italians
will fight harder for the home
land than they did in Africa or
the islands. But if the same atti-
tude is maintained in continent
tai invasion it is calculated that
it will mean no small part of
the success and progress of the
United Nations drive into
Europe.
Control of the big Italian
shores in the Mediterranean
is needed for the safe conduct
of many ships necessary to
transport troops and supplies
to the all-important shores of
the middle east. Complete con-
troll of the Mediterranean
means quicker and more album
dant supplies for Russia, India
and the forces in the far east.
Control of Italy and her
islands will mean a lengthen-
ing of the shoreline from
which Germany might expect

seems rather the
thing to expect yet it is likely
that Germany will be faced
with invasion threats from the
North, West and South stimuli
taneously. Through Norway,
through France or the low
countries and through the Bal
kans. Thus with Russia giving
her more than she can handle
in the east Hitler's Germany
will be facing enlightenment

he and his war makers suf-
fered SO many nightmares prior
to invasion Of Poland.
In the Pacific also there has
come much of which we might
be proud. Gradually but GER

taken Of Japanese ships (both

The problem of what to send a

him, had disappeared. That was
queer enough, but to make it still
more queer Peter had discovered
that there were two little holes in
the smooth side Of the pit just a
little way up from the bottom. As
holes Go not make themselves, they
insult have been made by some one,
and yet, though Peter had watched
for the longest time and had called,
ne had neither seen any one nor
been answered.
The only way to account for those
holes of which Peter could think was
that somebody else had fallen into
that pit and had tried to dig a way
out. In fact. Peter was sure that
there must have been two besides
Mr.. Toad who had fallen in, because
there were two holes. He couldn't
imagine any one wasting time dig
ging more than one hole But who
could they be. and why didn't they
come out? And where was Old Mr..
Toad? There was something queer
about that pit. Yes. sir. there was
something queer. Peter began to be
afraid of 1t. He would keep away
from it.
Now the common sense thing to do
when you fear thing is to stay
away from 1t just as Peter intended
to stay away from that pit in Farmer
Browns garden. But somehow with
a great many people this is the
hardest thing in the world to do
Peter was afraid Of that pit because
of the queer things That had hap
pened there, but for the lie Of him
he couldn't keep away from it,
despite his good intentions. The
very next morning found him back
there again peeping over the edge 20
see if anything more had happened
there.
Old Mr.. Toad was nowhere to be
seen, but this didn't surprise Peter.
He had given up all hope Of finding
Mr. Toad in there. The two holes
which had so puzzled him we're still
there. And then Peter discovered
something that made him Jump so
that it is wonder he didn't tumble
into that pit himself. What was it?
1t was another hole a little above
and to one side Of the highest of the
first two. and little above and to
one side Of this was another! Yes,

West opened the five Of diamonds,
East played the jack. and South
won with the king. South appar-
emily had eight tr!ckS-a diamond,
three spades two hearts and two
clubs-and no prayer OF making his
contract unless he could drop a
doubleton queen-jack in either
hearts or clubs. Otherwise, if
South let his opponents in. they
would promptly run four diamond
tricks and defeat the contract.
South first tried the heart ace,
but the Jack did not drop. So
South then led the clut ten. This
would be pointless play against
good player, but this declarer ap-
parently knew how to trick his op-
ponents into mistakes. For West
covered the ten with the jack, dunn
my's king won, and a club was led
back. East played low, and South
finessed the nine. which won the
trick and made the contract.
When a ten is led toward a
guarded ace or king and the next
player holds the jack, he should
not cover If he plays low and his
partner holds the queen his side
has sure trick. If he covers, ex-
actly what happened in this case
may happen to him.

People are funny. They certainly
are. You never can tell what they
will do next. Just as likely as not
they will do the very thing that you
are quite sure they won't 90. Now,
there's Peter Rabbit. Peter acts
sometimes as if he just hadn't any
common sense at all. But, after all,
ne isn't so different from a lot of
people I know and you know; they
keep right on going to places which
they know they shouldn't go to, or
doing things which they know they
shouldn't do.
Now, there was something queer
about that pit in Farmer Browns
garden. At least, Peter thought there
was. How any one who should fall
into it could get out again without
wings was more than Peter could
understand. Yet his friend Old Mr..
Toad had fallen into it and then,
while Peter was looking for help for

sir, there were two new holes in the
side Of that pit-little holes Just like
the first one. Do you wonder that
Peter stared very hard, then rubbed
his eyes and stared again?
There was no question about It.,
these four holes were real. The day
before there had been only two. and
the day before that none at all In
his wonder at and interest in those
holes Peter quite forgot all about Old
Mr.. Toad and the mysterious way in
which he had disappeared. Who
could have made them and why?
How did they get up to those holes
from the bottom or down to them
from the top? Peter remembered
that once he had seen similar holes
made in a sandbank by members of
the Swallow family, but they couldn't
have made these holes, because it
was too late in the summer; they
were quite through nesting. Besides,
II they had made these, they would
be flying about and going in and out
OF them. AS it was. there wasn't a
sign OF life in that pit.
Peters head began to ache from
puzzling over the matter. I don't
much wonder, do you?
