February 8, 1945 The First Fruits of Victory Are Sweet According to news dispatches, lib erated prisoners on Luzon, including hard-boiled soldiers who had under gone over three years imprisonment by the Japanese, sobbed with joy at their first glimpse of the American flag again on Luzon. And all Ameri cans, soldiers in the field or plain citizens back home who have done their full duty, are entitled to feel a glow of pride in having reestablished that flag there. When we read of these things, all the inconveniences—we do not call them sacrifices—we have undergone becin to • make sense. Now what price rationing, bond buying, high taxes and “regimentation"? The real j sacrifices were made by those in the; armed services. The rest of us have j been simply inconvenienced, and that little costs pales into insignifiance compared with the result achieved. , There are other thousands of Americans still in the hands of the enemy. We cannot rest until the American flag flies again over their liberated heads. This is no time to slacken. The first fruits of victory are sweet, but an even greater feast lies ahead. Buy another bond, stop that howling about trifles. Get on with the war. We have waited a long time, but things are coming our way at last. Boy Scout Week Ferhaps not everyone realizes what a great world asset has developed from the Boy Scout Movement. The problems that will face the* demo cratic nations in a post-war world will not merely be economic. They will be psychological as well. Whole countries will have to develop new habits of thinking and foster a spirit of cooperation with each other based on mutual tolerance and respect. Around the world the Scout Move ment for over three decades has prov ed to be an effective means of build ing understanding and good-will among youth. Before the war the world Scout membership numbered more than three millions. Over sev enty lands had Boy Scouts, all with the same ideals and enjoying prac tically the same program.

The International I friendships formed by these boys have spread in ever widening circles. Both Mussolini and Hitler feared the power of Scouting and abolished the Scout organizations in their coun-1 tries in favor of their own heel-click ing hate-fostering youth programs. In the invaded countries they have per secuted Scouts with special vindic tiveness. But Scouts met in secret and kept in touch with each other through the International Scout Bu reau in London. They prepared to take up where they left off as each country is liberated. Xow the Boy Scouts of America in observing their 35th Anniversary takes the theme "Scouts of the World —Brothers Together.-’ The prin-1 ciples engendered by the Boy Scout Program have the chance to be one of the strong links in universal world peace. -- FERTILIZE SWEET POTATOES Sweet potatoes need about 600 to 800 pounds of 3-9-9 fertilizer per acre, with such spacing in the row that gives the geratest number of No. 1 potatoes.

Hassell ol Creswell In Combat In Italy Member of 33th Regiment Which Recently Took 3,000 Foot Peak With the Fifth Army. Italy.—Pfc. Marvin H. Hassell, rifleman, son of Mrs. Annie D. Hassell, of Creswell, is a member of the 337th "Wolverine" Regiment which recently took 3.000 foot Mount Pratcne in the Gothic Line, digging German soldiers out of elaborate concrete pillboxes and earth-works on its forested slopes. The 337th Infantry Regiment is in the 85th "Custer" Division, part of the Fifth Army in Italy. Its first was its toughest battle. The regiment won all its objectives when it struck out for Tremensuoll in the Gustav line last May 12, but in this battle lost a quarter of all the casualties it has suffered in seven months of warfare in Italy. At thi time, one company captured a hill and held it against desperate Ger man counterattacks for three days and nights, its numerical strength dwindling in this preiod to 18. The 337th fought and won a boody 72-hour battle before Terracina. play ing a key role in rupture of the Hitler Line. They moved on through Rome, across the Tiber River and up to Viter bo. Tire "Wolverines” went back into the line to pierce the Gothic Line at one of its most formidable points. They have been in combat steadily since, struggling forward through the towering mountains that separate Florence from Gologna, overcoming great obstacles made of mud, rain, wind and cold and living and fight ing on the meagre supplies mules and men can carry up to them on their backs.
