paratroops were waiting for them.

Sherman tanks rumbled up to where
most of the Germans were concen-

The Germans began to retreat.

The terrified Nazis threw up their

Apparently what has been said before must be said agan-beyond a shadow of doubt the United States of America must adopt foreign policy that provides ternationa cooperation The world survive unless shattered trusts between all of it's nations revived
 Today the cardinal aim of foreign policy should be and the complete defeat of enemies However not be separated from postwar obectives Think of it. not since the days of Teheran has there been of dis cusson relative to postwar international cooperation retary Hus most recent statements on foreign policy ntey gossed activities pertaining to Americas role in postwar world. Whats the matter-aren't the Big Four speaking terms? Is Russia afraid that Britain and the United States will dominate international on? Has Russia to suspect Britain the United States?
 Reason no-the leaders of the United Nations are Suspicious another Therefore there is this to bear in mndwthou the United States taking the leadership to win the confidence of a firm foundation for postwar international cooperation cannot be established SPEAK UP NOW, MIR. HULL

The spirit of youth Is the worlds opportunity At an age when men need ln- spiration, For the effort of yesterday Is the fruit of today, While humanity's progress is in the realm of preparation. There is born within each of us flame,
 The lighting of which each of us can reflect, And in our every act can be called by name
 A holy flame given unto us to protect. At every age. in every cline, youth the torch bearer, The inborn hope of tomorrow, to acclaim With thoughts, words, deeds and actions, we the carriers In the transformation of our pos terity, we can proclaim.

one, however, is just hopeful that some one will provide a worth while job after the war. So, let's keep plugging and send in your own returns.
 While we may be 8 hairshirt to mismanagement, we believe just as strongly that achievements should be recognized and gratitude expressed. While we have nothing official to go by, we can report that we have not been stopped for long time at the Post Office light in Groton on the way to work. As we don't return that way, we can. not report on the results of our suggestion that the light be frozen for a while before and after work.
 Another suggestion to the Elders of the Boro is that the light at the theatre be frozen green north and south for say ten minutes after the traffic starts home and thereby end the log jam of Victory Yard and Main Yard traffic heading north.
 Considering all the loose cash that kicks around the shop and the yard in games of chance and other sportin' propositions, we would like to put in real commercial for the American War Prisoners Relief under the chairmanship of Joseph Cermenati of the Victory Yard. For this worthy cause the sponsors of current funds might suspend operations and devote their energies to putting this over.

To the Editor:
 Although I am a girl certainly agree with the article 'The Wizard Folly" which appeared recently in The Sub by MT. E. Acker.
 I was standing in back of two girls while they were reading the article. When they finished heard one girl say, "Hm, he has lot of nerve talking about us helpers like that"
 'He must be jealous," said the other girl, because of the amount we are making"
 "Yeah," said the other girl. No, girls, he's not jealous-he's past that Stage-he's just plain mad and you can't blame him. Men have worked hard and long to seek the positions they now hold; but they are getting discouraged now. I, for one, believe that MT. Ac. ker should be given credit for writ ing the article-and having nerve enough to have it published. It may have hurt the girls a little, but then "the truth always hurts"
