in the hospital suffering from a
heart ailment.
Remember Janis King-youngest
daughter of the late Rev. and Mrs.
J. Norman King of Bluffton? She
is now Mrs. Robert Marsh Of Claw
son, Mich, and mother of the first
194s baby to be born in the General
hospital at Highland Park, Mich, a
Detroit suburb.
It's a boy, Robert Allan, who as
the first new years baby was sho-
wered with a large number of gifts
which had been awaiting the first
claimant in the year, with plenty al
SO for the parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Marsh.
Three former Bluffton people are
in Central Europe, one of the worlds
potential international trouble spots,
engaged in work of the Mennonite
Central committee, the American
Mennonite agency for foreign relief.
In Vienna are Bert Smucker, son
of Mrs. B. D. Smucker of Lawn ave-
nue. and Miss Elizabeth Boehr, for
merly of Bluffton college, sister
of Mrs. Ezra Moser north of town.
In Budapest, Hungary, about six
hours travel distant, is Delmar
Stahly, who formerly attended Bluff
ton college. However, six hours
travel distance is quite an item in
Europe in its present state, especial
ly when it's necessary to cross
national boundaries. Bert says that
aitho he would like to get to Buda-
pest, travel passes are extremely diff
ficult to obtain and 10 out of the
last q applicants were turned down
by Hungarian officials.
Writing on January 5, he said the
winter in Europe thus far has been
quite mild, which is fortunate in
view of the fact that very few
people have means of heating their
homes.
Comes from Mrs. Joe Fisher an
old, somewhat faded picture of an
early Bluffton hostelry, known to
successive generations of Blufftonites
as the American house on North
Main street.
The picture which bears no date
was taken, probably about rs years
ago and the sign atop a tall pole al
the curb designated it as the Nation,
al Hotel.
1t was quite a gathering place il
those days as is attested by the

OF the armed forces of other countries Is deeply
guarded secret. However our only potential enemy,
Russia Is believed to have airborne army In be-
ing in training far surprising that Of any other
nation. Information fltering from behind the iron
curtain indicates Russia strength in troops trained
for lightning strikes from the air may number from
100000 to 100000 men
This force comparlv with our plans for the fu-
ture and the two airborne divisions which the
United States possessesthe 82d at Fort Bragg N. c.
and the 11th in Japan.
What could the Soviet do with such a force?
It might be difficult for the Red armies and air
force to do much about Japan, but it also could
make practically impossible for the United States
to do anything with the same base.
But even with resistance, the military experts
estimate that the Russian forces might be able to
reach Gibraltar or the Persian Gulf in six months
and oyerrun most Of China in three months time.
Swift-striking forces-air -transportable forces
are the answer, the Armys top planners believe.

Army Day, 1948, finds our land forces not only in
such hot spots as Trieste and Korea but scattered
all the face Of the globe. In fact, the United
States has 258000 soldiers overseas in less than
25 foreign lands doing everything from large-scale
occupation duties to giving advice as missions to
friendly governments.
The Army calls this scattered force "The Thin
Khaki Line" and points out that Alaska, the coun-
trys guardian outpost against attack is manned by
only 1000 soldiers. 1t seeks to add 5000 troops to
the Alaskan command. In all, the Army seeks to
increase its overseas forces to 27200o, total Of
5000 Of whom would be sent to Korea which, it Is
believed Russia might well be able to overrun in
matter of days
But it Is in the continental United States that
the Army Is weakest and in which it seeks to be-
come stronger. Today, there are $4,000 troops
within the country perhaps $4,000 Of which are
nrst-ne combat soldiers ready to leap to the de-
tense Of the Nation. The balance are concerned
