Tlfee Miles Grow Long Again
- The last new car has come off the assembly lines until
the war is over. New tires are not, to be had, except in unusual circumstances, and the miles suddenly grow long again!
For many years now, each season has made the county,
the state, the nation, a smaller place as cars wepe improved
and new roads constructed. "V^e've shopped regularly in towns
that were a long- day's journ'ey away in our grandmother's
time and a neighbor has been anyone within twenty miles.
We've driven to the next state for Sunday dinner and covered half the continent on our vacations.
Now, almost over night, there are fewer automobiles on
the highways. An out-of-the-state license plate begins to become a curiosity and we ourselves think twice about the 12
mile drive over to the county seat. The local grocery store is
painting its old delivery wagon, they say, and two of the
neighbor's boys are going to the high school, two miles away,
-   on their bicycles.
But it's not only the actual physical changes in our ev-
A ery day living* that I've noticed. There's a new feeling in the
™ very air, with the automobile something to use only when
necessary and then, carefully, at abbut 40 miles an hour instead of an impudent 60! We're beginning to settle down and
look around us; to dig in. as it were, and discover near-by
friends and stores and entertainment. We're ' beginning to
think again about the beginnings of this country and why it
was our great-grandparents were willing to endure the hardships of pioneer life.
Bill, who is 14, can for the first time in his life understand what the world might have been like 50 years ago before the railroad came through this part of the country. And
Jrady, whose boy friend can no longer take her to dances 30
miles away, is beginning to get some place with her knitting.
It may be a little difficult to adjust ourselves to a wartime world in which there's a limit on cars, tires, ar-.*l per-
- hap* un gasoihi*e. Tae&fc>\hing{$Ti]-/ve-Deeomt' to us Americans
almost as common as air and water and just about as necessary. A while back we wouldn't have thought we could possibly get along without them. Now we know we can—for the
sake of Victory. In fact, we could get along with a horse and
buggy and the railroad to take us on long journeys. So let's
not complain but make the most of this time of enforced
slowing down. Let's enjoy our homes and be friends with the
# people down the street. Let's find fun and new   health    in
' "walking and horseback riding and bicycling. And   let's    get
better acquainted with our children.
When the war is over and the automotive industry can
turn from war work to passenger vehicles once more, we'll
have better cars than ever—because new things about motors
and streamlining are being discovered every week. We'll
have thousands more planes, too; some say "flivver" planes
for regular family use and all say transports for freight, as
well as passengers. This is the land of mass production, you
know—the country where Industry can provide enough of
things to go all the way round so that the workman, as well
as the executive and professional man, can drive to work in
his own automobile. And where the future is always more
abundant than the past!
St.  Paul's  Catholic church will be   treasure hunt, but the treasure they
are to find is not the sort of prize
one might suppose.
With priorities jumping rapidly
from one field to another, there has
become a shortage in small containers for oil. No more will Street
Commissioner Harrison Cline be
able to buy oil for village machinery and trucks by the quart or gal-
Ion. Hereafter all purchases must
be made by the drum.
And that is wheie the treasure
hunt comes into the picture. There
doesn't seem to be any place to
stoie more than one or two drums
of oil, and there are several grades
required for the various units of
the village equipment. After making several futile suggestions _ at
council meeting Monday evening,
the councilmen decided to start
looking for any available storage
space themselves.
Should any of these men suddenly appear from an unexpected place
during the next week or so, looking thoroughly disheveled and
dirty, chances aie they have been
lookiiiQ in some out of the way
place for room to keep a drum of
oil—and perhaps have found it.
Furthermore, they would like their
fellow- citizens to know that they
are not trying to hoard anything at
all. This is just a matter of necessity, nothing more or less.

Jap Bombs Fall in Kipling Country
Fight On!
^}- From his room at the White House, Lincoln looked out
of the window at the flickering* camp fires of the enemy entrenched -across the Potomac. So near had defeat come to the
capital of the nation. Then he rose and went to meet his rebellious cabinet, to stand firm ag-ainst those, who cautioned
i compromise. He was resolved to fight to the end for a united
nation.
Washington .walked alone in the snow at Valley Forge—
snow stained scarlet by the bleeding feet of his humble .followers. His army was starving. His forces grew steadily
smaller as the toll of those who could not face defeat grew
larger. Congress argued, blamed, and did nothing. He was
without money and almost without friends. Defeat was imminent—but he prayed for guidance, tightened his belt, in-
, creased the discipline both on himself and his men and went
ahead to win.
Down upon Cherry Valley swooped the Indians in a
frightful massacre which devastated that peaceful community and destroyed in a night the laborious work of years in
carving homes out of the wilderness. But scarcely "had the
marauders left, and while the ashes of their homes were still
red, those settlers who survived, crept out of their hiding
places and went back to rebuild their homes and till their
fields again.
Earlier still, in that dread winter three hundred and
twenty years ago, pestilence broke out in the little colony of
Plymouth. Two-thirds qf the colonists perished—but when
the spring came, over the leveled graves of their dead the remaining men,and, women sowed maize, that none might know
/^ how great was their loss. Then they went on about their
'"^■j business .of living, determined to remain free to worship God
according to the dictates .of their conscience.
\ To the man of faith, defeat is but a challenge to carry
on. It is a hurdle in his path to be taken in stride. It is not
the end of the road.
We must face the fact that all news cannot be good
news. That all men cannot be perfect. We must have brave
and enduring hearts in. our hours of trouble. We must know
that only the last battle determines the victory, and we. must
battle through to the end, wihout stopping- to allocate blame.
Only as we.put defeat behind us, can we go forward to victory.--    . ,,„__..  . .    . _..-   -

Woman's club.
Miss Giraldo told of some of the

Chairmen of Committees to
Meet to Work Out Duties,
Plans for Volunteer Partici-
pation
A committee meeting for all
chairmen of local Civilian Defense,
units has been called for Thursday
evening at the village hall at 8:15.
At this time the men will decide
on the duties of * each committee.
and make their plans to work out
a smoothly coordinating defense
pro-gram for the entire community*
in the event of any disaster.
All those who have volunteered
their services in the work are ^ to
be divided into the various committees at a.later meeting and will
start any necessary training for
their duties. Registrations are still
being taken at the village hall for
the work. Howard Zengler is geti-'
eral chairman of the Civilian- Defense program.
Civilian defense programs, as.
they are being outlined throughout
the state include a number of units,
each of which have a specific duty.
There is a Red Cross unit which
requires training in helping
wounded persons, a volunteer fire'
unit in addition to the regular department; additional police protection, a bomb removal squad, a demolition squad, agricultural unit,
transportation unit and various
others, all planned to aid the people of the community in every way
necessary for their own safety.
Many Ohio communities have already completed their Civilian defense organization while others are
just starting the task. All persons
interested in the welfare of those
in their own community are asked
to volunteer their services where
they are needed. Only by planning
for disaster before it can come arid
being prepared for it, will a program for aid be effective. Those'-in
charge of the work stress the fact
that individuals must volunteer
now and not wait until it is • too
late before they realize they ate
needed.

Police to Get
Motorcycle
At council meeting Monday evening village officials voted' to purchase a second motorcycle for the
police department. The motorcycle
