VICTORY BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

A poll of the exiled government heads of various European countries brings forth the prediction that the war in Europe will be before November These officials included prime ministers, foreign min isters and war ministers, eight in all.
 Dr. Eduard Benes, President of Czecho- -Slovakia believes the war may be over in Europe by October l, while others place the date as before Christmas.
 Part of the Czech government already is waiting inside Russia their country and the Belgian officials have their bags packed in London awaiting the Channel crossing Others prepared to return home on a moments notice
 According to all indications the end of the European conflict will be only matter of weeks
 It may be very well that the war in Europe will be over before Christmas
 However we still think it will be good idea if all persons having kin in the armed forces would make sure that they get their Christmas gifts off to their sons brothers and husbands fighting before the October Is deadline.
 A big job remains to be accomplished in the Pacific theatre of war Apparently the strategy has been plotted at the Quebec conference and earlier meetings Although there has been definite an nouncments concerning how the job of beating the Japs will be accomplished there indications that there will be plenty of fireworks

 FDRs demand for a definite policy on Germany was made on Thursday afternoon, August 3l. The deadline was the next Saturday, and resulted in furry of memos and a good deal of overtime work at the State Department.
 No final plan was reached, but enough was put together for the President to put before the full cabinet for discussion the next week. By the time he left for Quebec, he himself had some very clear ideas on this policy, even though it was not yet fully for mulated.
 One beneficial result of the Presidents anger was the dumping into State Department wastebaskets of half a dozen directives being prepared to outline civil admins tration in Japan after the war. These were just as insipid as the handbook for German administra- ton.

Use of Leisure
(NeW York Times) )

There is question that leisure is good thing It doesn't follow however that all so-caled leisure time activities are beneficial. AS example consider the rather futile results of the physical education programs in many schools
 Between 1910 and 1880, cities and towns ex- perienced an upsurge of commendable civic con- sciousness and erected many imposing senior and junior high schools. In addition to shops, kitchens, art rooms and libraries the schools had gleaming, spacious gymnasums, with the accompanying college accoutrements of locker rooms, showers and charts and graphs for recording heights and weights At this point calisthenics became od-fashoned The physical cultursts wanted the emphasis put on group games. It was not the mode to teach boys and girls to de- velop lungs and muscles The important things were cooperation mellow attitudes and learning to be fol- lowers, plus games for laterlife leisure-time ac- tivities Unfortunately it seems to some, at the same time the fancy gymnasiums came into being there a movement to carry pupils to schools in buses Perhaps it felt that if youngster walked mile or a mile and a half to school he would be too weary to cooperate enthusiastically in tap dancing and folk games of Balkan tinge.
 Leisure is lesson learned one lives. There is leisurely living as well as leisure time activities Many adults know that their most enjoyable times are periods when they free follow their desires Professional proponents of the art inclined to be overzeaous. It is a good thing to have lessons in square dancing for urbantes; but the Whooper- up spirit Of the affair may be bit too much for the mddle-aged who prefer to eat less and spend spare hours with a time-tried book to butter ht-or-miss fashion in liputian garden, follow work alone hobby
 Perhaps the answer is organized activities for those who predominantly extroverts, and self chosen fields for others If works in the midst of people and in the web of human relationships, it is reasonable that the sweetest leisure will be in quiet ness and peace. The total program is encouraging. There State and national parks cities and towns spend moneys for supervised paygrounds schools have clubs of all kinds; youth organizations are aware of their duties Recreation is big and occasionally strenuous business. Leisure, feel should be a mans private business. Some happy day there may be time enough to get caught up cur reading.

been allowed on the water weasel, new type ot amphibious carrier which can travel in water or on land and across swampy bogs six feet deep with qucksand, carrying four men or nearly half ton of supplies Another is the Locust, new airborne tank with the fighting power of a medium tank, and other weapons about which little has been said.
 The most striking indication of what is to come, however was in the recent announcement by Secre- tary of the Navy Forrestal who pointed out the other day that the American fleet consists of more than 65 900 vessels of which 150 major fighting craft He went state that the program of construction is little than half finished Even now our Navy is by far the greatest in the world and if it is doubled the United States will have far more maritime might than all of the rest of the world combined.
 It seems apparent that the Navy will carry great bulk of the load in the forthcoming campaign in the Far East Every major city in Japan is within firing range of the guns of our naval craft That is the bad thing about living island.

POLITICS AND THE WAR

House minority leader Joe Martin, who is on record for taking the war out of politics, had an un- comfortable moment last week dur ing a luncheon at the National Press Club. COP Chairman Herb Brownell was scheduled to address the meeting, but was grounded in Cincinnati, so Martin and several other Republican bigwigs pinch hit for BroWnen.
 Hottest question from the audi ence was: 'Is it to be the Re- publican campaign line that the President has recently engaged in two political trips-his Pacific trip and his Quebec trip?"
 The President was then in Que bee. Press Club President Sam ONeil of the Chicago Sun asked the question and picked Martin to reply.
 Hesitating for moment, Martin answered: I'm not a member of the national committee. I can't answer"
 O'Neal then turned to Connecti- cuts Senator John Danaher, who is always ready with an answer. Danaher sidestepped the question by asking, Does any one doubt that politics are involved in the trip?"

CANINE SHORT SHORTER"

General Mark Clark recently had his cocker spaniel Pal" sent to him in an airplane across the At lantie. As a result, officers at Clark's headquarters in Italy de- cided that Pal should be mem Der of the Short Snorters Club, to join which one must cross the At lantic by plane. So they presented Pal" with a little leather bill case attached to his collar and containing a Shorter dollar bill. In one hours time, Pal" came back with IA signatures on his membership bill.

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 24

Adverse planetary aspects rule the morning hours today but the evening is a propitious time for meetings and conferences.
 HEART AND HOME Expanding interest in Bible study will be manifested by persons of all ages Practical application of religion to everyday life will be sought Under Aquarian influences there will be aspiration toward spiritual develop ment
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Coopera- ticn between private business and the Federal Government is forecast as a postwar necessity that will be recognized by members of all po- litical parties. The stars indicate that production and prices must be regulated in the period of re- construction which may cover many months.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers warn progressive women to avoid making drastic demands upon po- litical leaders Ambition to hold high official positions by election or appointment should be re- strained
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." Refugee problems are forecast, as need of safe place for thousands of unfortunate war victims becomes more apparent. There is portent of history repeating itself as the United States is sought as haven for the persecuted. Secret nego- tiations are prognosticated Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pros- perity and happiness. Fortunate op- portunities beckon both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will enjoy great success in whatever they undertake. Talents and characteristics will combine in assuring useful careers.

MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 2,

Good and ill omens mark today which may be disappointing to men seeking public office.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under first-rate planetary in- fluences today. The sway is prom ising to all who have artistic am- bitions. This is a lucky date for weddings or marriage engagements There is a promising sign for those who change their places of resi- dence.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Weeks of prosperity are forecast as the Autumn advances, but there is a warning for workers to conserve their substantial earnings. Despite Government planning to avert postwar hard times, inevitable en- ergencies will require reserve funds NATIONAL ISSUES: Careful training of our diplomats sent to foreign capitals will be important in postwar years. As the welfare of the nation is affected by its accredited representatives, appoint ments that are mere political re- wards must be prevented The seers predict that as a result of the global conflict peoples will begin to understand one another This means special attention to the choice of American envoys.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS: Revolutionary inclinations will be extensive inside Germany, where financial collapse is prognosticated The existence of hidden wealth, gathered by Nazi leaders, will be suspected by the war-weary people, who will gradually and reluctantly surrender their lingering faith in the Fuehrer.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- pleXities that may try patience. Good luck will balance difficulties.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be popular and able to win success. They should early be taught usefulness.
