Currently the cipher string has
to do with 60,000,000 jobs-or is it
55,000,000? The difference in the two
figures is irrevelant. What is rele-

stage coaches, planes, soap models
and some clay models.

About 2..30 Friday morning, Mrs
Ray Sterling, who lived in the
Thomas place on Iron Creek, awoke
to see flames eating their way
down the stairway. There was no
time to lose. She awakened her
husband and together they took the
sleeping children to the safety of
the car. There being no time to
dress, the children were wrapped
in blankets. Later Mr.. Sterling
made one trip into the house and
obtained additional blankets and
some of his wearing clothes but be-
fore he could make a second trip
access was impossible. All of their
clothing. dishes. canned foods, in
fact all their personal property was
total loss.
When Mr.. Sterling saw how badly
the house was gone he went to the
chicken house about 40 feet distant
and turned all the hens out into
the brush. But this proved unneces-
sary as none of the outbuildngs
burned.

A Greet Man

Two hundred thirteen years ago
today George Washington was born
one of the greatest men America
has produced. The struggling little
nation he helped to start on its way
has today grown to be the world S
most powerful nation, and now is
engaged in the most critical war Of
its existence.
This nation that Washington
founded has not been forced to pass
in this war through the dark days
Washington had to face. For many
long months Washington and the
struggling colonials must have de-
SPARED of the outcome-must have
wondered il victory would ever
come to their cause Today there
has been but little fear in the minds
of Americans that the might of their
own and of their allies arms would
in time bring them out the victors.
On this anniversary it is well to
realize that the very liberties Wash
ington and the colonists fought for
are again in danger. Slowly, and
one might say relentlessly, more
and more power is being placed in
the hands Of a grasping executive.
Steadily the individual liberties
Americans have enjoyed SO long
are being taken from them Con-
stantly there is a battle going on to
keep those forces that are today
grasping for more power from
changing the American form of gov
eminent into something patterned
after foreign ideologies, in which
the state becomes supreme and the
individual mere cog in huge,
overpowering system that rules him.
1t is well in these days to recall
that Washington believed in liberty
for the Individual and in the re-
publican form Of government, and
that he had an important part in
the framing Of the constitution that
has been 50 potent iii protecting
American liberties.
We should like to quote from j
historian writing of his day, as
follows, in speaking Of his part in
the war In which he was the cen
tral figure.
Others were ready to quit but
ne never gave up His military tao
tics have won for him the name Of
The American Fabius. When he
could not fight he ran away When
the enemy stopped pursuing he
came back again When the British
commanders thought they had him
trapped he always had some sur
prise in store for them. When they
felt secure he swept down upor
them, as at Trenton. The German
Won Moltke called Gen. Washing.
ton one Of the worlds great strate-
gists. Few military commander.
have contcnded against greater
odds, or, even making allowance!
for American patriotism, with more
difficult material.
After the surrender at York.
town Washington took up his head
quarters at NeWburg on the Hud
son river. When the British hat
actually sailed from New York, h,
called his officers before him, EN-
braced them. and babe them fare
well. He then presented himself be
fore the Congress at Annapolis. HI
