Easter" was the subject the
Rev. Ben Nelson spoke on when
he addressed the members of
the Hardin Kiwanis club at

unanimous in their attendance
of church, however lax they
may be during the rest of the
year." the Rev. Nelson said.
He also stated that the Res
direction of Christ was really
the birth of restored hope in
the hearts of men who hitherto
had considered the grave as the
end.
1.-THE great influence of the
Resurrection is still and always
will be felt very much through
out the civilized world, as is
evidenced by the fact that it
is only in the Christian and civ
ilized world that many of the
advancements of science and in
ventive genius are being en-
joyed," he said.

NEW RULINGS ON
SLAUGHTERING

A recent Interpretation of food
distribution order No. 81, con-
corning slaughter permits re-
quired by resident and non-res-
ident farm operators has been
received at the County War
board office, according to Geor-
ge Miller.
A resident operator of a
farm under FDO-27, may be
a farm owner, chiefly engaged
in agricultural production. A
farm slaughter permit is req
uired when such operator Slau-
ghters livestock and delivers
any meat to any other person.
A permit is not needed for the
slaughtering of animtls exclu-
sive home consumption.
A butchers permit is required
by persons who are not resid-
ent farm operators who kill
their own livestock for their
own consumption. The quotas
on such permits will be estab-
lished by the total slaughter in
the corresponding month in 194l.
If the animtls to be slaughtered
have been produced in whole
or in substantial part by the
person applying for the permit,
he may slaughter such animals
for his own use in excess of
the established quota, even
though the quota may be zero.
If the animals to be slaughtered
were not so produced, slaugh-
ter may not exceed that in the
corresponding month of 1912,
according to MI. Miller.

LAWMAKER SAYS
INVASION MIGHT
Be MASS MURDER
Senator Chandler Believes
Channe! Thrust Would
Be Hard Now

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-IR-
Senator Chandler D-Ky) today
expressed the view that any Al
lied attempt to invade the chan
mel coast of France at this time
would involve mass murder OF
invading troops and urged con-
centration on attempts to bomb
Germany into submission.
Back in Washington from a
world girdling trip on which he
and four other Senator's visited
all of the battlefronts except in
Russia. Chandler disclaimed any
ability as a military strategist,
but voiced his opinion as a lay,
man, in an interview.
81 think an invasion Of the
channel coast now would be mass
murder" Chandler declared. 'The
Germans have established de
tense in depth there and there
isn't any use losing hundreds Of
thousands of men by an invasion
if we can win the war by Other
means. I don't know if we can wiz
by airpower alone, but it is wortt
trying"
His view was that with all
bases seized in Italy, the United
Nations could tighten the rims
around Germany and blast the
Nazis into defeat without i'm
mediate invasion from the west.
He urged that Gen. Dougla.
Macarthur be given supreme
command in the Pacific and Asia
