Hollywood, Dec. 12-Dear Staff: The season of good cheer is near so let's quit hurling insults and 1nnuen- does at one another long enough to count our blessings. No foolin', kid- dies, it's been a wonderful year.
 Of course, everyone in America is thankful today for our military vic- tories. The Nazis, the Nips and all their satellites have been compelled to cry Uncle" But it seems to me that We-aIl of us-have something more than past accomplishments for which to be grateful. We should also give heartfelt thanks today for the opportunities that have been created by our victory.
 We, as individuals and as nation, have a chance now to do badly needed remodeling job and make the world a better place to live in. A better place not only for one na- tion, or for one race, but for all hu- manity. For five years necessity has compelled us to concentrate on kill ing and on destruction. Now we're given an opportunity to concentrate our energies on the construction of new world in which freedom, jus tice and happiness must rule.
 is
 You and I are just little people" 1" At first thought, we seem very im- potent to do either good or evil. But, actually, it's the little people who must do the job. If we, as in- dividuals, do our infinitesimal bits to make the world a happy dwelling place that it can be, the job will be well done. Recently, we've all wit messed a convincing demonstration of the power of atoms.
 Specifically, we have to do with the movie industry. While neither studio bosses nor producers, we do exert, through the power of the press a slight influence on picture trends. Let's make it our business to cam paign in every way possible for films that will help humanity to bet ter things. The screen can--if only 1t will-be a tremendous construc- tive force.

 Yank Into Tokyo" and Man Alive. In "First Yank Into Tokyo" Tom Neal, who did such a good job oi portraying a Jap in Behind the Rising Sun" plays the courageous Air Force officer who not only un- dertakes the perilolls mission of re- claiming a secret of the atomic bomb, but who also sternly recon ciies himself branded with the fea- lures of the enemy. Neal volun- teers for the dangerous mission of penetrating the enemy lines to se- cure vital atomic bomb data be- cause he can speak Japanese like q native. To accomplish this he submits to a delicate operation in plastic surgery, and is transformed into the likeness of Jap before setting out on his perilous task.
 The flyer is smuggled into Japan by Korean secret service agents and sets about his dangerous task. How he gets his information and en- 'GeaVors to carry both the expert and an American girl prisoner to safety against heavy odds, is climaXed with the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

through Alsace, the Sand Ammu-

The unit has been handling three
times the volume of ammunition

THE determination, ingenuity
and outstanding devotion to duty
displayed by the officers and men
of this organization have made a
considerable contribution to the
success of Allied operations in

In its initial invasion, that OF

teamwork and constant practice il

Commanded by Captain c. NJ

Dwarf fruit trees are ideal fol

sion specialist in horticulture, al

These midget trees have several
advantages over their larger an
cestors. They come into bearing
earlier, produce larger fruits, are
easier to spray and prune. and sew
eral can be planted in a small area
to provide the home owner a variety
of fruits.
The most common varieties of
apples and pears are now available
In dwarf size; but at present no
stocks are to be had that satisfac-
torily dwarf peaches, plums and
sour cherries. However, peach and
plum trees can be kept smaller by
heavy pruning; and, as rule, most
varieties of peaches. plum and sour
cherries bear about as early as dc
the dwarf apples and pears.
In choosing varieties of apples
the small-lot owner should have at
least one tree of each of two varie-
ties to provide -pollination and
fruitfulness. This is also true OF
pears and plumS. Sour cherry and
peach varieties, with the exception
of the j. H. Hale peach, are fruit
full if only one variety is raised.

Postwar Opportunities for
Radar-Trained Men Revealed

Many railroads are now planning
extensive radio-electronics installa-
tons after the war TO give speedier
and safer service.
This Is pointed out by Lieut.
Comdr. Byron E. Flechtner, Officer
in Charge of lower Michigan Navy
recruiting and induction, in urging
men to investigate the postwar
opportunities open to men with
Radar training.
THE Federal Communications
Commission already has granted
certain railroads permission to test
radio in connection with train oper-
ations," Commander Flechtner said.
Experiments have been conducted
with radio communications between
the engineer, conductor, flagman
and yardmaster, between engine and
caboose and also stations and NOV
ing trains.
Obviously, when such installa-
tons are made on a large scale in
thousands of trains, railroad sta
tons and control towers, many jobs
will be open to trained men. Navy
Radar training qualities men for
such technical postwar jobs"
Information about how men, II
through so years old, can qualify
for Navy Radar training may be
obtained in any Navy Recruiting
Station. In lower Michigan, these
stations are located in Detroit,
Flint, Grand Rapids, jackson, Kali
amazoo, Lansing and Saginaw.

Because the farmer owns both the
land and the tools with which he
produces, he is capitalist and
hence on the other side Of the
fence from the industrial laborer.
The Michigan survey disclosed
that the average Michigan farmer
worked 1873 hours every weekday
during the summer season, and 9.8
hours on weekdays during the win
ter. Nearly 80 per cent of all Mich
igan bureau farmers own their own
homes; the average farm is $50
acres; the average family has lived
on their own farm for AIS years.
Here is a population group in
Michigan, outnumbered by city
jewellers nearly two to one, which
is working long hours, under ex-
IRENE handicaps due to lack of la
Dor and limited machinery, and still
receiving only a modest earning.
We wonder how high food prices
would rise in cities if the farmer
adopted the same pressure tech
niques of organized labor and went
out on a strike for increased earn
ings, overtime compensation after
40 hours, and other industrial ben
efits.
The farmer, owning his own ma
chinery of production, doesn't do
this.
More and more, he is studying
his problems through farm organ
izatiQns and its joining farmer
directed producer cooperatives as
one effective way to raise his in
come and his standards of living.
Is the present $50 million fund
adequate to meet postwar needs of
the State of Michigan? New York
state legislature adjourned last
week after tagging $50 more mil
lions for the states postwar build
ing projects. Funds previously saved
totaled approximately $50 millions,
making new total Of more than
$3.50 millions.
The population of Michigan in
1910 was $685. LOG, of which 3,454,-
867 people lived in urban areas. New
York states population was 49,
479,142, of which 11,165,S93 were in
cities. These figures are significant.
