'some cqjd, icy Saturday afternoon We believe that if the adults of ,th fal1 this group will interest themselves sufficiently this planning board can develop into a real benefit for the whole community, not only planning programs for youths but for the town and county. Such building pro jects as a Town Hall, a sewage dis posal plant, curbs and gutters, street signs and house numbers for the streets and homes of Hertford, better rural roads and living, conditions within the county, all of these could be projects for a wide-awake plan ning board. We earnestly hope that the members of the Hertford Rotary and - Lions Clubs, the County and Town Com missioners and the Board of Edu cation will lend every assistance for establishment of a planning board which will work toward these ends. Production Climbing Civilian production has had a "ter rific" climb in the past two months, according to Civilian Production' Ad ministrator John D. Small, who says that if the present rate continues to the end of 1946, it will eliminate' most of the problems of reconversion. Mr. Small says that there were 58,000,000 persons employed in Aug ust and" only 2,000,000 unemployed, the lowest figure sincp last year. The jobless total includes unemployables and Mr. Small says that reinforce ment of the labor force can come only from women and retired individuals. Highlights of the monthly report on production show that basic mater ials are close to capacity, that in . dustrial output reached a new ppst "Var peak and that the production of building materials compared favor ably with the rate of production in crease on military items during the war period. Nazis Face Sentences After a trial which lasted ten months, the International Military Tribunal has announced its decision on the Naxi leaders and organiza tions which have been charged with war crimes. There is no doubt of the brutality, depravity and criminality of the course pursued by Nazi Germany. The gmly- ejuestion was whether the defendants participated in the pro gram culpable and, if so, whether there is legal basis for their punish ment. The deliberate policy of the Nazi regime was to disregard the rights, legal and moral, of the people in oc cupied areas. Inside Germany,, there was, apparently, no law of God or man which was respected by the pro ponents of the Nazi doctrine. Inhu manity was commonly practiced and property rights were intentionally violated. Both succumbed . to the might-makes-right doctrine. The callous practices of the Nazi regime, both in the years of "peace and during the course of the war, were on an equal with the worst that has been recorded in history.1 As Winston Churchill" remarked, they were without parallel since the days of the Mongol invasion and were without equal in the annals of modern times.

III , f( HI ( hi ) . 0 1 C -- in Veterans Urged To Exercise Care In Paying Insurance A Billion Dollar Loss The economic loss through highway accidents in the United States is now estimated at about $1,000,000,000 a year and a highway safety committee suggests that the destruction of pro perty, coupled with the increasing operating costs and insurance rates, represents "a bill that no form of transportation can pay and continue to possess." The experts on traffic tend to be lieve that uniformity in traffic reg ulations is highly desirable, that there should be a steady campaign to induce voluntary observance of regulations and that a long-range building program should take cogni zance of recognized safety factors in the construction of highways. All of these matters have been dis- s cussed before, in these columns and j, ' elsewhere, consequently, We call at tentioD'to the conclusion of Arthur Butler, director of the National , Highway Users Conference, who : says that if the millions of . words exchanged on highway safety "were transformed into deeds, our heavy losses, in property and, in life, would be reduced today and eventually el iminated." , ' To Avoid Sudden Death The king of amateur -sports is ar ving all , over the ' country today, . ootball the - big college sport in C.lg country begins in earnest this i - , ' , 5,000 Payment Made With Inadequate Identification' Warren G.
