CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF
BACK TO NORMALCY

Two orders issued out Of Washington
bear the first concrete evidence that the
end of the war in Europe is permitting re-
laxing of restrictions on distribution of
civilian goods and an initial move to put
jobs OH the "free market"
Here in Imperial Valley one announce
ment struck responsive chord 1t had
to do with removing the priority barrier
to obtaining coolers. Along with previous
easment on factories producing war ma
terial, there is promise of an end to the
shortage of this much desired household
as we'll as business item.
There is no inclination on the part of
the public however, to form the notion
that there will be a general removal Of
wartime restrictions at this time.
In a larger way, congress is laying
plans for the folding up of boards at
Washington which have no further use
fulness as the effects of the victory in
Europe take shape.
The somewhat sweeping announcement
made by the War Manpower Commission
at the same time the WPB order was is
sued, reflects to great degree the prac-
ticability Of easing the freeze" rule on
jobs so that again industry and workers
may follow the natural trend again.
Again, this is not to be in wholesale
way nor is it to take effect Immediately.
Both moves should lend assurance to
the public that the reconversion is to be
orderly and that it will come as rapidly as
conditions warrant and as the machinery
of government and industry can move
p with certainty and without danger Of any
interruption or upsetting the comprehen.
sive and far-seeing program which must
: be followed.
Once again complete cooperation will
be needed and if given will insure success
and see the nation emerge from war en-
ergency set-ups to peaee-time permanent

SPLIT UP FORCES

We decided to send one car with
the Americans up to the mountain
hideout to talk to the guards, and
to send another car back to the
command post to let them know
what we were doing. After a long
parley, we had checked all the
roads and studied a minute layout
OF the Himmler hideasway.
Just as we were about to leave,
tall, blond German walked up.
The locals told us he was Rieger,
commandant for the area.
He told us:
Whatever you may think or what
ever you may have been told there
is no high Nazi parsonage on that
hill. You may send all the troops
you want to search but you won't

TEACHING u. S. HISTORY
UNDER CONFUSION

1t doesn't set so we'll that things have
come to such pass that it becomes nee
eSsary to teach American history in our
schools by statutory mandates. Yet it is
true. The legislature now in session has
passed an act and the governor has made
it law. Henceforth it is mandatory
Why have the schools neglected
this subject? 1t is in the prescribed
courses of schools and colleges. Yet do
many students major in history? If
not the reason must be that something is
lacking in either method or the course
itself.
We are inclined to think it more the
fault of the method. Next to that fault
has been the departure from what might
be termed the "old fashioned way" Most
certainly there has been wide departure
from the factual for the fictional. Else
why are students and graduates so help
lesSly ignorant of the mere facts in the
history Of our own country?
1t is required of aliens seeking citizen
ship that they have knowledge of the
fundamental facts. And they do know
them. In truth they would outshine the
average student of today in plain test.
AS subject in itself there is none more
interesting and intriguing than American
history.
Perhaps there has been too many self
opinionated instructors and not enough
who stick to the text as they would in
teaching mathematics.
Now we shall see what the schools do
to remedy the lack

THE Able WALLACE SERVICE

Mrs. R. J. H.: have been con-
slant reader of your column for
about years. My husband and l
lived very happily in our home until
his people moved in. They have
about gained control over every
thing here. What shall I do, move
or stay on? 1 believe they would
like to have me put out of the
house. l am terribly worried.
Ans: When relatives can no long
er live together in peace and har-
mony, it is time for a showdown.
If you were visiting in your rela-
tives' home, they wouldn't allow you
to rule the rOOst :. and certainly
you are justified in standing up for
your rights in your own home. But
do so in a manner that would cause
no friction between you and your
husband. They are his people, and
let him be the one to ask them to
seek housing quarters elsewhere.
Insist in firm but tactful way that
he do so.
T. s.: I'm 16 years old and a
senior in high school. don't have
a father, only a mother and she

what to do.

ner. Your daughter is dependent
upon you for the care of her chill
