THEY SAID LAST
WEEK:
President Roosevelt in letter to
the American jewish Con-

the American jewish Con-
gress:
"The attempt by Adolf Hitler
and the Nazi party to rule Ger
many, to rule Europe and then
to rule the Western World, was
based on two brutal devices: or
ganized terror and organized anti
Semitism. Terror put Hitler in
power and kept him there. Anti
Semitism was the terror's coun-
terpart in propaganda. In the
name of the self-styled Master
race, Hitler robbed, first his own
people, than the peoples of Eu.
rope, and tomorrow, by his own
boast, would have robbed the
world.1n the past months we have
defeated Hitler's plan for world
conquest. We have recovered
some of his stolen gains and in the
months to come, we shall recover
more. and we shall meet and de-
feat Hitler on his own ground.
Some of the sources of anti
Semitism in this country were
created to serve Hitler's purpose.
Let every American look TO his
own mind and actions so that
while we defeat Hitler's armies
we also defeat his poisonous pro-
paganda. Whoever condones or
participates in anti-Semitism
plays Hitler's game. There is no
place in the lives or thoughts of
true Americans for anti-Semi-
tism."
Wendell Berge, Ass. Attorney
General of the u. S. A. of the
Conference of the Peoples
Lobby in Washington, D. c.:
at is the determination of our
people not only to gain victory
over the military power of aggres-
sors, but to establish securely the
lasting condition of peace. We
know that beyond victory we shall
have to face multitude of per-
picking economic problems. We
must also realize that we shall
meet new dangers to those free
institutions on which our national
economy is based. If the problems
of peace are to be solved, we shall
have to come to grips with these
difficulties in the same spirit Of
resolution with which the war has
been waged.
at seems abundantly clear that
America can never have foreign
policy based on the principles of
democracy and international good
will as long as international trade
is dominated by cartels. 1t does
not seem possible that the Allan
tic Charter, the Good Neighbor
Policy and the reciprocal trade
pacts can effectively prevail if
the special privileges of cartels
dominate trade and politics in the
postwar world"
General Douglas Macarthur:
decisive results in modern war
can only be achieved through the
combined efforts of all three for-
ces-ground, naval and air.
"No one or no two OF them can
obtain victory. The strongest mil.-
! tary element is the army, which
must be defeated before our sue
cess is assured. This can only be
done by the use of large ground
forces. 1t is useless and mislead-
ing to talk of short cuts. They do
not exist. 1t is the teamwork of
united and well-balanced COM
mand, used as a unit. not the pre-
ponderance OF any one element,
that is essential to victory.

gram for squirrels, % bushels of wal
nuts purchased by the club this fall
were distributed to the Moser Game
reserve and the College reserve last
Saturday aftrnoon, making a total of
Al bushels distributed since last fall.
The walnuts have been stored in
the Niswander & Herring veterinary
barn and distribution was mode with
the assistance of Earl Frick, Kenneth
Bracy, Jimmie Howe, and Robert Non
namaker-Boy Scouts from Troop 81.
+ Plans are underway under direction
of Russell Lantz to erect corn shock
feeding stations on the college cinder
track, part of the college game re-
serve. The track has not been used
for several years and stand of tall
grass covering the adjacent field
makes an ideal cover for wildlife. A
large flock of pheasants, estimated at
approximately rs birds by observers
has been staying on the field since
early this fall.
The possibility of constructing feed
ing stations in all six game reserves
under club management has been un-
der discussion recently. Erection of
feeding stations in these particular
protection areas has been recommend
ed as a part of the feeding program
for 1945.

To Wilbur Fish, chairman of the
game supper, and his helpers much
credit must be given for the splendid
manner in which the. bountiful repast
was managed and served.
Following the supper sound pictures
in color depicting four seasons in
Pennsylvania and a color film "Bat-
Ting Bass were shown and were well
received.
Prior to the election of officers held
later in the evening future plans of
the organization were discussed by the
directors. The organization has grown
by leaps and bounds the past few
years and is now recognized as one of
the aggressive conservation organiza-
tions in the state.
The directors are seeking to make
a permanent place for the association
in the community and with this idea
in mind are interested in assisting
civic enterprises concerned with con-
servation, especially with the program
to operate the Buckeye Park safely
and as a successful enterprise. The
club recommends the hiring of COM
petent manager at the quarry who will
supervise the swimming, fishing, and
other recereational facilities of the
park.
The organization is interested in
constructing a memorial park at the
north end of the quarry in honor of
our fighting men in service. Plans
are underway to continue with this
construction next spring.
To create better farmer-sports-
men cooperation the directors approve
of plans to invite farm organizations
to select delegates who will serve as
directors of the Sportmen's Club. In
return, directors will be selected to
serve on a committee to attend open
meetings of farm organizations to dis
cuss problems relative to conservation
and game management.
Recommendations were made to ex-
pend every effort to combat the pol
luton menace in local streams. Rec
concentrations were also made to have
dam constructed adjacent to Har-
mon Field near the college avenue
bridge.
Additional recommendation were
made to obtain approval of farmers
to restock game in areas devoid of
such wildlife.
Many other recommendations were
made including equipping the clubs
kitchen with a steam table and other
facilities; continuation of the tree
planting program and hire of assist
ances for aiding the farmer in this
planting; erection of feeders in the
new game reserve under club manage
ment; urge the state to make every
effort to solve the quail problem and
allow organizations to restock this
game bird; and step up activity in the
predator control program.

Bluffton High Cagers Lose To
Lima South BY Score Of $40

A disastrous first-quarter start
meant defeat for Bluffton High Gag
ers and they took a 81 to 40 beating
at the hands of Lima South last
Saturday night on the local court.
Except for the first period which
ended with the Pirates trailing II
points, the locals matched their OPP
ponents' attack point for point thru
out the game.
Bluffton got started in good form,
leading the opening minutes a to 2
and again 5 to A, but the South
marksmen then went wild and rolled
% points thru the hoops in the re-
naming six minutes of the quarter
while Bluffton was getting only four
1t was more an even game the
rest of the way however, with each
team garnering 10 points in the sec
ond quarter, and in the third period
South Tailed 16 times and Bluffton
IL. The visitors were able to score
only hve points IN the closing stanZa,
while the Pirates added nine.
That the South team was unusual
ly 'hot" in its appearance here is
seen in the fact that the visitors
made good on nearly fifty per cent
of their attempts from the field. Or
dinarily a 20 to % per cent average
is quite good
Three South players accounted for
the difference between the two teams,
with Bob and Fred Howard and
Roland Roush garnering 81 points
between them. Bob Howard had "a
points, and Fred Howard got Is.
For Bluffton, Cubic Basinger paced
the attack with 15 points to match
Fred Howard's performance; Ronald

When you are sewing on buttons
wax the thread on a piece of bees
wax, or paraffin, to make it smooth
and strong. This is a good sewing
trick, too: lay darning needle over
the top of the button and bring each
stitch over the needle to make a
thread shank. Then, the pull comes
