When we read that 500 olaae« went over enemy tern try and only five or ten were lost, it doesn't Men lilt# Bench But when we realise that those same 500 planes, with the some crews, may go over enemy country several times a week—and that five or ten may be lost each time—-it takes only simple arithmetic to see that the majority of these crews are apt to become casualties witiua a comparative ly short timo. The work of the infantry may seem a lot more bloody when they engage in battles in which thousands are killed or wounded. And it is true that the flyers have a much more com fortable life than the infantrymen when everything goes all right. v THE FIRST STEP The United Nations Charter, signed by representatives of 50 nations, is an historic document—an acknowledgemeiit by the leading countries of the world that the preservation of the peace is of vital concern to all of them. Perhaps more important than tho wording of the chswter itself ie the signoturep to it—tho slgoatures which testify to tho feet that, in spite of their diversity of in terests, all nations are able to get together and agrao an something. President Truman emphasized that the signing of tho charter was only a “first step” toward any permanent solution of world problems. Other steps may follow slowly. But as we contemplate and plan each new step we must constantly be on guard that we always go forward—that the United -Nations, having started toward a gqal of permanent peace, should never take a step backwards. » JAPS TO FEEL AMERICAN MIGHT (Anderson Daily Mail) On Monday, July 2, the greatest fleet of B-29’» ever sent against Japan struck four of the Empire’s industrial cities. Six hundred bombers took part in the attack which was the beginning of the stepped-up raids on the Nips as promised by Gen. Arnold. Four thousand tons of bombs were dropped, making it the greatest single incendiary strike of the Pacific war. That brought to twenty-two the total of. Jap cities smashed in firebomb attacks. It was the thirty-third assault on Jap war plants. In the not too far distant future Japan will see attacks by 1,000 or more Superforts, for the bombers have really not yet gotten under way. The incendiary bomb raid on Tokyo on March 6 halted at least a fifth of the city’s great industrial production for three months. This one raid destroyed 3,000 industrial plants, and up to a quarter million other buildings. It reduced 360 million square feet of the city to ashes. More than a million factory workers were made homeless. With closer bases and a shorter distance to fly, the Super forts can be relieved of carrying so many fuel tanks and can therefore carry heavier loads of bombs. Apparently they are not yet operating from Okinawa, for these raiders on Monday flew from the Marianas. It has been demonstrated that incendiary bombs are of the greater value in these attacks because they can hit targets too small to smash with pinpoint bombing methods. Almost daily the Japs have suffered incendiary-bomber at tacks, and by degrees their cities are being destroyed. There is no reason now why all of them cannot be wiped out and so will their war production be destroyed. And once they have reached the non-production stage, just where will they be? If they had the least bit of sense, the Nips would surrender. immediately before the Empire is totally smashed. For that is exactly what those bombers will do to them. What, it may be wondered; will happen to all those teeming millions when winter comes and they have no dwelling places, no fuel and little to eat? Our blockade is gradually tightening about them so that soon they will be unable t/ bring in stolen supplies from their conquered islands. Soon they will be out of stored fuel. - And the winters in Japan are pretty severe. Add famine and pestilence to all that and you have a fair picture of what is in store for the nation within the next few monhs. It would be better for the population if it were destroyed completely. We're in favor of that. ‘Little Coy Blue—’ -BLOW Your. , horn! I ..'M-.H'S.J BEHIND THE SCENES - m AMERICA* BUSINESS •' NEW YORK, July 9.—The big manufacturers of the nation ex pect business to be very good in that first year after the war. The ^reat expectations, are not based just on easy optimism. They rep sent the sober indigment and the planning of some 7,000 manufac turers who, as a group, produce about half the nation's goods. These are the same manufactur ers who reported to the depart ment of Commerce their plans tor spending some $4.5 billion to en large their plants in the first year after the war. They want these increased facilities because they expect sales much laiycr than in 1939, the last year oefore the defense program aim me war be gan to effect our economy. Most optimistic of all aie the textile makers, the makers of apparel goods, and leather products. As a group they expect their first post war year’s sales to be greater ev en than record-breaking 1944, and about twice the $9 billion volume masters, reconciled to less volume of 1939. Even the iron and steel first postwar year as substantially after the war than now, see the better than the last prewar year. Food, beverage and tobacco man ufacturers also expect a volume about twice that of 1939. SPRINGBOARD FOR A SPRING — Buses have been the “springboards” for some of the major automotive innovations of recent years—the remote-control gear shift, automatic hydraulic transmission, and safety glass, for examples. Therefore, in visualiz ing your postwar dream-car you might well take note that hund reds of this year’s bus^s are be ing equipped with what is literally a “new twist” in vehicle suspen sion — a “torsilastic” rubbei spring developed by the B. F. Goodrich company. It works by means of the twisting action of a filling of rubber between a cylin drical shell attached to the axle and a shaft connected to the vehi cle frame. One of the “wonders” of the New York World’s Fair, its development for civilian use was interrputed by the war. But it has had a more than thorough workout on LVT’s (landing ve hicles’ tracked) for which more than half a million of these V springs have been made. You can also look for this spring in to morrow’s swivel chairs, porch swings, built-in ironing boards, and other places, as well as in ve hicles. THINGS TO COME—A new in secticide that may revolutionize plant doctoring.

MEATIER CHICKENS—Head era of the two billion dollar poul try business assembled recently in Chicago to formulate plans t< retain markets poultrymen havt won during the meat shortage pe 1 riod. They were helped in theii planping by a novel program da veloped and offered the industiy by A and P Food stores. The program centers on three year contest to develop a better meat-type chicken, comparable to the famed broad breasted turkey, which will have about 60 per cent more meat in proportion to bone structure than exists today. Breeder of Ihe bird nearest ap proaching this ideal will win' a So thousand award. The contest alt/ provides for $3,000 in annual progress prizes. 61 ay be one ol your neighbors will win an awaid. The prize money has been turn ed over to an industry committee ,y the food chain, plus sufficient funds for contest expenses. D.U. Slade, Lexington, Ky., poultry mat. neads the committee, which con sists of members of every major poultry association in the coun try and key officials ol the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. BUSINESS OWNERS—Are you a stockholder? if so, you are part owner of some business. Natur ally you want to get a report from time to time telling you how your business is doing. Manage ment today is doing a better job of keeping stockholders informed through annual reports than in any other period of financial his tory, says the Financial World. This weekly journal for some time has carried on a crusade for better corporation reports. Final ly it set up a system of a\\ards to grade the pamphlets. This year more than 2,500 corporations submitted their reports for a jud gment of a committee ol experts The results ajjg heartening. Borne 30 per cent of the reports this year could be classified as “mod ern” against only six per cent in 1940.

C.. mceived a letter from Utah that made 'em blink, h said that the ranchers ot Utah were sutiering from a new disease. Well, there simply aren't any in w diseases. At least, that s what the health service thought. But the ranchers were being bitten by the deer fly, and it was knocking the socks oil them. A departmental worker was selected—Edward Fran sic—to trek out to Utah and see what was the matter. So he packed up his guinea pigs and rats and started west. On arriving, he found that things were indeed plenty -eriotis. Death was being caused by the bite ot the deer-tty ,iis job was to find out what caused the deer-tty lever. Ho got some of vlie blood of a stricken rancher and put it in a guinea pig. in live days tin* guinea pig was as .lead as a doorliiiige. (■round squirrels bad it and jack babbits.

When he was abolo to get about, he went on with his work, went back to ashington with samples ot the insect that caused the strange new disease and devoted hi nisei f night and day to li tiding out what caused it, conducting thousands ot tests. One day he heard of a man working in a meat market in Washington, D. who had a strange disease which he called “rabbit fever." He examined the man, and suddenly went off on a new tack. Why, these two diseases were the same! Instantly he dropped the deer-tty idea and began working on the "rabbit bever. He lound that the man had contracted the disease from dressing rabbits. Then Edward Francis remembered that he had dressed rabbits oefore contracting the disease. Next he lound that the spleens of the rabbits hail spots on them and that a man s nand coming in contact with these injected organs was ikewise infected. _ At all dealers. 7%e sn/'/es yo&'///eare you* / On its way is the when your windshieu will frame a lovely new picture each moment, by night you will be in far country—sped there by NEW Day Conoco Bronz-z-z UASOLINE.
