SOLDIER! TAKE CARE!

rather utilize his impetus or mo- mentum to carry him on his way, the difference being that you direct the movement.
 4. Principle fou- is to attack your opponent on the spot where he is weakest with the greatest amount of power that you can concentrate on that one point. The axiom of this principle is "My maximum strength against your minimum. For example, if an oppo- nent were to grasp your wrist, it wouldn't be best to try to tear your wrist from his fingers by main strength of your arms. h. stead you would attempt to con- centrate the power of your legs. body, and arms against his fingers.
 5. The fifth and last principle is a knowledge of the "major and minor operations" This knowledge is essential to prevent injury while practicing. The "major operation" means either getting out of danger or getting the essential part of a hold. The "minor operation" is the application of the pressure. If both of these were run together, the re- suits might be broken bone or other serious injury to a partner. Therefore, in practice, be judicious and apply the "major and minor operations" separately.

In case you were deprived of your weapons or have them de- stroyed, would you be at the mercy of the enemy or are you one of those who knows how to take care of himself?
 |" Unarmed defense isn't difficult at all to learn, but, of course, to use it effectively, you've got to un. derstand these basic principles.
 1. Balance. No matter what posi- ton an individual assumes, he is off balance in some direction. It's up to you to know in what direc- tions he is strong and in what di- rections he is weak, and when you do know it requires the smallest amount of effort on your part to throw him off.
 2. "Use of Internal Oblique Muscles" That doesn't sound as tough as it looks. These muscles are located in the center of the body in the lower abdomen be- tween the hip bones. The power for every defense must come or be cen tered in these muscles.
 3. The third principle is the ability to utilize an opponents mo- mentum or an opponents strength to bring about his downfall. You always assume that your opponent is stronger than you are and never attempt to oppose him directly, but

AIR FORCE TID-BTTS

So you think the Germans are giving up! We'll, frankly, we do, but Col. John R. Kane who has been in action against them does mt think it's going to be that easy. In an Illuminating article featured in the March issue of "Air Force" :" Col. Kane tells why he still con- siders the Germans a cunning and powerful enemy and believes that even though we are beating them, there will still be aerial battles ahead that will make the Schwein- furt and Ploesti raids look like pie nics.
 His article is just one of the reasons why you had better grab copy of Air Force as soon as you can. A few more are that you can learn how the heavy bomber pilots rely on their auto-pilots for pre- cision bombing; how the 7th Air Force, not the magazine, serves as the strategic air arm in combined operations against the Jap; the flu ture influence of jet propulsion on the design and performance of ou1 aircraft; a word of advice from the Air Surgeon on the use of Ben zedrine" in operations involving excessive fatigue.

 Cpl. Lloyd Elliott is a good skate, or so the rumors emanating from a certain rink in Hartford have it. We hear that Lloyd did quite well there t'other night.

Contentment to an unusual degree

isfaction even with the New Deal.
There are rumblings Of discomfort
with the many restrictions which
Washington bureaus have placed
upon these people-but, on the
whole, they feel that the Democratic
administration has brought tremen-
dous benefits to them.
OWenton, q prosperous town OF
some 1900 persons, Is the county
seat. Owen county has population
of about 10000. It's people patronize
Owenton's progressive merchants,
whose stores, in general, are more
modern than those to be found in
most rural small towns.
Perhaps the secret Of Owen coun-
tvs acceptance Of the New Deal lies
in the fact that the town and farm
folk OF this community have had the
initiative to organize their own af-
fairs. The New Deal agencies, find-
ing this high degree Of local initia-
tive, have been inclined to interfere
less than in communities not so
much in sympathy with its basic
aims.
OWenton citizens will tell you that
the spirit of cooperation which
flourishes in the county stems very
largely from the leadership Of Reu-

Owen county is the tobacco pro-
gram. Base quotas Of land permit
ted under the AAA program have re-
stricted considerably the amount Of
land placed under cultivation for to-
bacco. Some farmers are inclined
to grumble at these restrictions, but
when the AAA plan was put to ref
erendum vote in the November cleo
tons, SO per cent of the farmers
voted for it-only per cent against
it.
Il presume Kentuckians are not
different from most other folk
commented M. H. Bourne, editor
emeritus of the OWenton NeWs-Her-
aid. They don't like too much con-
troll, or to be told what to do and
how to do it. But men who make
living entirely from tobacco raising
know darn well that when they get
more profit from three acres than
they used to get from seven, a
certain amount of control is good
for all. Even SO, some are mad
because they can't grow seven
| acres.
Government interference, though,
does not affect us as much as in the
larger centers. We do feel, how
ever, that. at times too much central
authority has been exercised to get
deals put across, that with little
more patience on the governments
part our people would have heartily
backed without coercion
But there are some who say that
in the tobacco stripping rooms,
where men talk freely among them
selves, feeling against the Roosevelt
administration Is rising. Feed has
become so expensive that many
farmers are now selling off their
cattle and hogs and they think the
/ OPA is responsible because it en-
forces price ceilings at the livestock
| purchasing points, but has not been
able to enforce ceilings on grain.
Thomas Forsee, cashier OF the
First National bank of OWenton, in
clined to take the conservative point
of view. He said.
This is very strong Democratic
county. We have never had Re-
publican in office in it. In the last
election, there was noticeable turn
ing against the New Deal however,
for the county went Democratic by
only a small majority. Many feel
that the results of government con-
trolls have not justified their great
multiplication. Farmers feel that
too much extravaganza is going tc
prove disastrous in the long run.
However, tobacco acreage allo-
cation has proven very satisfactory
because it has brought much bet
ter prices
