 HIT OPA HARD
 Where the Republicans hit hard est, however, is against O.P.A. It is called dictatorial, unavoidable, a curb on production, responsible for present day shortages of nearly everything, responsible for black markets, responsible for the wave of imitation which is said to be here, even though the administration rec fuses to recognize its existence.
 The Truman mistakes make Q special chapter in the Republican case. They consist principally of instances in which Truman is said to have gotten too far out on the end of a limb and then had to crawl back.
 At Potsdam he declared that the United States had no territorial ambitions. Later he qualified 1t by saying that the United States would demand full Jurisdiction over Pa- cific islands.
 The existence of an agreement between Saudi Arabia and Frank lin D. Roosevelt on rights of Arabs in Palestine was officially denied-- only to have the agreement dug out of the files later on.
 Right after VI Day 1t was pro- posed that Lend-LeaSe deGNs be cancelled, but when this idea was criticized by Congress the policy was changed.
 It was announced that no re. quest had been received from Rus- sia for loan. Then one was found.
 On foreign policy, the prlnci- pal charge thrown at Truman by Herbert Brownell, Jr., as he re- tired from office as Republican Na- tionA Committee Chairman, was that "the United States has lost that proud pre-eminence among the nations of the world which 1t en- joyed one year ago.
 Looking about Tor specific inci- dents with which to back up this general statement, the Republicans might point to these:
 The United States had failed to make good on it's commitments for relief supplies to war-torn coun- tries, and had had to call on Repub- lican Herbert Hoover for aid.
 It had become involved in set-

 Prevention Of Disease
 Important Community
 Service

Know Your Public Health Nurse Week" was endorsed by pr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer yes- terday. Lauding the work of the public health nurses, he seid that they do their job without fanfare or glory.
 An important part in the pre- vention of disease is played by the public health nurse, he said. The nurses aid in the control of epic denies, the detection of defects that may be remedied and the spreading of the doctrine of public health education to our children and adults. Dr. Godfrey added.
 The major aims of public health nurse week are to educate the pub- lie in the services offered by public health nurses in local health de- partments, visiting nurse associa- ton, and other official and private health agencies; to stimulate the establishment of health facilities where at present none exist, and to encourage more nurses to enter the public health field.

foes throughout the years, and to
display the various types of booty
which we have taken from the
conquered.
I wouldn't like to guess at the
money invested in the various war
museums we already have in this
country but it must be more than
considerable. 1t would be a good
project for some research organiZa-
ton to send out a wandering re-
porter to find out how much this
country has spent to buy land, build
buildings, collect battle souvenirs,
engage caretakers, hire guides, and
generally preserve the military glory
of its men and women.
HOthOuses of Hate.
The North, the South, the East
and the West are stippled with mu-
|seums dedicated to the task of show
ing posterity how we gained our
independence by killing English
men. There are museums for the
minor wars df any war which took
a son from a mother or a husband
from a wife or a father from a son
can be called "minor'D. This Ma
ton is now supposed to be united
but travel the North and South and
try to find better-kept buildings
than those which house the men,
ories of the War Between the States.
War museums are nothing more
than hothouses which keep alive
the seeds of hate and distrust.
They were bad enough, heaven
knows, when their wide, cool, we'll

q. When was the national budget
last balanced?-C. E. M.
A. The year 1880 was the last year
in which the receipts of the Fed
eral Government exceeded the ex-
penditures.
@. What was the total number of
accidents last year?-T. L. B.
A. The National Safety Council
reports the total number of acci-
dents for 1945 as $4,000 killed, and
l0,300,000 injured.
@. What is the chief purpose of
blood in the human body?-N. A. E.
A. The blood supplies all parts of
the body with food material and
oxygen. 1t carries off the wastes
OF the cells to be eliminated to the
exterior through the proper organs.
@. How many moter vehicles did
the American Expeditionary Forces
use in World War II?-T. T.
A. Motor vehicles in service at the
end OF the war numbered 10000.
Q. Was the Purple Heart awarded
to men in the Army in World War
20 K. L.
A. According to the War Depart
ment, the Purple Heart was con-
ferred during the First World War
for any meritorious acts. For serv-
ice performed during World War
II, 1t is awarded to personnel who
received wounds in action.
@. Why is an artificial leg called
a cork leg?-G. B.L.
A. Artificial limbs were formerly
made of metal uprights shaped up
by layers of cork. Cork has not
been employed for this purpose for
many years, but its use gave rise
to the expression cork leg.
O. When is a plant classed as
Weed?-W R. L.
A. A weed is a plant, especially
wild or rank growth, that exists
where its presence is not desirable
lie, in a place where other things
are to be raised
@. Do most metals last indefinitely
or do they deteriorate in timer
F. G. B..
A. Archaeological discoveries have
shown that metals vary greatly In
this respect. That gold is prac-
tically imperishable may be in
ferred from the recovery in excellent
condition of many treasures found
under diverse conditions in many
parts Of the world. Silver usually

again) housed nothing more dan
gerous than the bow and arrow,
the tomahawk, the bowie knife, the
minnie-ball and other prenuclear
weapons of destruction.
But the one that President Tru-
man has under advisement-and
which will be built and filled from
floor to turret-will make all other
military museums look like a flow
er garden.
There will be the bazooka. Be-
side it will be the flame-thrower,
and, cuddIing close to the fame
thrower, will be 100 or more types
of devilish BOBBY traps that goth
century man perfected. In one
case will be the incendiary bomb
that sent men and women scream
ing into the streets. All manner
of tanks will be in their cases and,
occupying the place of honor, will
be working model of the first A
bomb.
Marked by Crosses.
I think the military museum Is
a waste of time, effort and money.
The United States has the greatest
military museum of all time scat
tered around the globe A curious
man can easily find it. 1t Is marked
by crosses. There are crosses in the
SHOWS of the Himalayas. There are
crosses in the snow of the Alps.
There are crosses in the leaves and
needles of the forests of France
and Germany. There are crosses
in the mud of Guadalcanal, and
there are crosses on almost all the
other Pacific islands where the
trade winds rust the dog tags and

that's what all the shooting, or talk

Whatever the truth is, the picture
