IS HITLER DEAD?

The saying, ga dirty Irish trick, was
used long before any Key Wester was born.
but local oldtimer, who said he had used
the term many time, suggested to The
Citizen that we now change the express
sion to "A dirty Nazi trick
His reason for saying that was because
he thought the Hamburg radio announce
ment that Hitler had died and had been
succeeded by Admiral Karl Doenitz was
another dirty Nazi trick" designed to mis-
lead the Allies.
Many persons believe the announce
ment was 'sphony'', and the chief reason
for reaching that conclusion is because it
was declared in the statement that Hitler,
the day before, had named Doenitz as the
Fuehrer
1t was equivalent to saying that Hit
Ter, who, according to the same radio, had
been fighting in Berlin since the Russians
had penetrated, that city, became aware
Monday that he was to be killed the next
day.. fighting to the last breath against
Bolshevism.''
AS The Citizen has remarked on a
good many occasions, the Germans with
heir one-track psychology that the oftener
lie is repeated the likelier it is to be be-
lieved, apparently are unable to hit on the
~nodefof thinking of large majority of
Americans Americans, as a rule, "come
from Missouri, and we are far more apt
than the peoples of sany other nation in
spotting a*'phong',
We spot it readily among ourselves, as
'well.as among the peoples of other nations,
but the easiest nationals among whom to
spot it are the Germans and the Japanese,
who believe that the taller" their lies the
better the chance of their being looked up
on as truths by Americans.
Despite that circumstance, Hitler may
be dead he might have died before Mon
day, might have died before last Saturday
when The Citizen published an Associated
Press dispatch about the reported deaths
of him and Goebbels.
But if Hitler is dead, what has become
of Himmler, who, Hitler had announced
many months ago, would become the
Fuehrer after Hitler had passed on? Is
Himmler dead too, or, had he and Hitler
quarreled and broken off their relations?
Finally, so far as the war in Europe
is concerned, it is of no consequence
whether'or not Hitler is dead: the war will
be pressed to successful conclusion.

NOT A JOB FOR THE COMMUNITY

The other day "a prominent speaker,
talking, about the 10000 goo men who will
come back to- normal living after the war,
stressed the necessity of better, home life
and declared that there must be fcoordi-
mated planning" by all community agen-
cies, especially the. church.
This is ,an interesting declaration be-
cause it evidently proceeds upon the as
sumption that The 100000 men and
women now in service will not have sense
enough to establish their own home life.
1t seems to presuppose that without
che directional assistance of the community
these individuals will not attempt to fol-
low the example of their forebears in the
matter of creating homes that Will confer
benefits upon those who live with them.
While it is apparent that millions of
families throughout the world will be con-
fronted by economic problems that cannot
be solved by individual action and that
governmental agencies should attempt to
assist helpless people in reestabhshing
themselves OH q satisfactory economic
basis, we see little occasion for worry, upon
the part of the stay-at-homes, about the
ideas and ideals of those now prosecuting
the nations war effort.
It is perfectly obvious that two indi-
viduals who become man and wife will be
able to establish the ''home life" they pre-
fer After all, it is not question of the
house in which they live or the income
which they have to spend. 1t is matter of
spirit, which is not gift which comes from
communal planning.

Why celebrate We Day boisterously?
In the first place that's not the way to
celebrate and in the second place, why
celebrate at all since only half of the war
is won. We should rejoice at Victory in
Europe Day, but must also remember that
another formidable foe is to be conquered.
We can raise our heads in thanksgiving and
gratitude only when total victory is
achieved.

Kay had become very well
acquainted with DR.. Warner dur
ing the past week of meeting him
several times at the children's
clinic. She hoped now that he
would tell her something of his
life, where he had lived, what ne
had done before ne had become
famous. They had always talked
of Tommy and made plans for his
trip, and obviously they couldn'
discuss his operation just now. ;.
And she was not disappointed.
Presently he was telling her of
his boyhood home in California,
of his mother and father, dead
several years. Ee had. he said,

THE BAIT SMELLS

At a time when government is scratch
ing the bottom of the tax barrel to flnd
funds Ito meet current obligations, it is
the height of folly to propose hundred
milliou-dollar public expenditure annually
to establish Rural Telephone Administra-
ton. which after all the camouflage is re-
moved; is just device for putting the gov
ernn1eAt into the telephone business, the
same as into the electric power business.
In country that has more telephones
than all the rest of the world, there is no
-1ayery money in this manner.
The bill which would. authorize this
500, 600, 900 expenditure and a new gov
eminent bureau with high-salaried Off
Gals, would loan money to small telephone
completes for Ia percent. lower than they
could possibly gettit any other way.
Significantly, the small companies did
not fail for the cheap money bait, for the
United States Independent Telephone As
sociation has gone on record in opposi-
ton to the measure. rs
Aside from their objection to govern

oppose the Rural Telephone Administra-
ton idea as contrary to the best interests
Of the. United States, and of the farmer in
getting telephone service. They feel that

Dir. Warner nodded. Il know
how DR.. Sims must have worried
during Tommy's illness - afraid
that an epidemic would strike in
Lowell; how helpless he felt when
he realized the polio was leaving
the muscles in Tommy's feet par
alyzed, how hard it was to wait
until the paralysis was complete
before he could start exercises
and massage of the muscles. Yes,
l thoroughly agree with you, DR..
Sims has worked hard with him.

Yes, Dear Flag, we know
You are sad,
That you're flying low
That you're at half mast
We, too, have a heart that
Is heavy with grief;
We, too, Dear Flag, have
Lost a great Chief.
All over this land you
Are flying low,
You are weighted down
With that heavy blow.
He loved you SO much,
Dear Red, White and Blue
That the strength Of his life
He gave to you.
But some day, real soon,
You'll be flying so high,
So gallant and proud
Way up in the sky.

Who fought to the last,
Dear Flag-a prayer
That peace will last!
