Although Treasury Department
estimates indicate rapidly declin-
ing rate of expenditures for war
and its related activities, the out
lay for the balance of the 1945-46
fiscal year will still be far in ex-
cess of normal peacetime Govern
ment costs and far beyond tax in
come.
The flow of war expenditures
cannot be turned off like a spigot
with the arrival Of victory. Millions
of men cannot be stranded over
seas. Hundreds of thousands must
besrestored to health and returned
to their peacetime place in society
Mustering-out pay and veteraps'
benefits will provide their ante to
get back into the game of life.
A grateful nation will foster
educational opportunities for those
G1's who desire it. Pensions must
'cRre for those widowed and orphan
'ed'bN war, The Government must
settle war contracts, help industry
return to a peacetime economy.
Those are the bills of victory.
They will be paid.

.Gaithersburg
Grove V. F. ID.
Is Kept Busy
Small Child Burned To
Death In Home; Continen-
tai Store Fire Endangers
Adjoining Property

The Gaithersburg Washington
Grove Volunteer Firemen had a
busy weekend.
In a fire in a tenant house near
Gaithersburg on Monday a small
white child was burned to death
after the mother and a truck driver
had failed in a rescue attempt.
The baby was the daughter of
Charles l.. Frazier who lived in
tenant house on the William c..
French farm near Middlebrook.
James Keys, Negro, of near Cal
thersburg, was delivering straw to
a neighboring farm, and seeing the
flames started for the house. On
the way he met the mother who
had been away from the house for
a short time tending livestock. Keys
restrained her from dashing into
the burning building, and himself
broke in the front door, but find
ing the heat so intense, went to
the rear of the house where he
broke the kitchen window, climbed
through and rescued Charles, Al;
Shirley Ann, 8; and Marjorie, /.
However, he was unable to save
the baby. Montgomery County
police are collecting a fund from
their members to present to Keys
in appreciation for his heroism.
On Saturday a fire discovered
in the Continental & 10 Cent
Store was so potentially dangerous
because of the proximity of ad-
joining stores and a garage that
the Rockville Volunteer Fire Dept.
was called in to assist. Accord
ing to Mr.. Shein, proprietor of the
store, business will go on as usual.
The fire damage was not great,
the greatest loss being from water.

Draft Debated
AT P-TA Meeting

Col. Lee And DIR. Mcdonald
Present Arguments For
And Against
Last Tuesday evening marked
very interesting meeting of the
Parents-Teacher Association at the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
when 1t. Col. E. Brooke Lee,
Park Commissioner and Veteran
Of World War /, took the affirma-
tive and DR.. Ralph w. McDon-
aid, Executive Secretary of Higher
Education of the National Educa-
ton Association, the negative, in
debate on UNIVERSAL MILL
TARY TRAINING"
Col. Lee stated in part: ut is
cruel and unwise to bring over
100000 young Americans to
their majority each year in con-
dition of education and way of
life that they do not have all the
chance that they would have to
save their lives and help save the
lives of the younger or the old
Americans of their period"
He further stated, "each man Of
the 100000 dead or wounded Of
the First World War and the more
than one million dead and wounded
of the Second World War bears
solemn and awful witness to that
fact. Their burial places and the
wounds that they carry are the
complete proof that the plan Of
life that has been fashioned for
them by their elders and leaders
failed to save them.
"The only possible solution is
that there must be no more war.
A prepared America is not pointed
against any other people.
with universal training America
will stand as safely as our collect
i've wisdom and course Of action in
other important directions justify.
Lacking universal training the
other measures in which we will
also place our hopes for the future
fall"
DR.. Mcdonald, said, in part.
Every nation in the history Of the
world that has put into full execu.
ton a program Of military training
has been destroyed He further ex.
pressed the opinion that if soldier
ing compensated the individual
sufficiently and more frequent
furloughs were granted there
would be no difficulty in gathering
together a large enough volunteer
Army. II am in favor of the Ma
tional Guard and the R.O.T.C.
program, however" he said, "be-
cause they are wholly in keeping
with our democratic principles"
