A Year Ago—Peace
Just one short year ago — next Wednesday—the guns
stopped firing and the world was at peace with the surren-
der of Japan. With prayer and celebration and thankfulness
we greeted that day.
President Truman has proclaimed August 14 as Victory
Day and has called upon the people to observe the day as
one of "solemn commemoration to the devotion of the men
and women by whose sacrifices victory was achieved." He
also asked that it be observed as a day "of prayer and of
high resolve that the cause of justice, freedom, peace and
international good-will shall be advanced with undiminished
and unremitting efforts, inspired by the valor of our heroes
of the armed services."
The Allied victory on August 14, 1945 with the uncondi-
tional surrender of Japan "terminated a conflict world-wide
in scope and freed the people of the world from the threat
of enslavement of body and spirit," the proclamation con-
tinued.
Although victorious in arms, the president pointed out,
"we must not relax our determination or diminish our efforts
for the attainment of the final goal—the establishment of a
just and enduring peace."

Movie attendance now has all
the comforts of home—and more—
since the South Main Drive-In in-
stalled bottle warmers for baby.
Cinema houses for a long time
now have been the most comfort-
able and luxurious places to spend
an evening. Dim lights, soft car-
pets, cool air, soft springy seats,
and room to take off your shoes.
No better place to relax and doze.
The only distraction is the pic-
ture itself. Some of them you
can't sleep all the way through,
fhey get noisy in spots.
The Drive-Ins probably have a
slight edge in comfort over the
.ndoor theatre. You can sit in
your car, take off your shoes, light
up and lean back to enjoy what-
ever flickers across the screen—
if you can. What's more, you can
■ipit out the window—and you
can't do that either at home or
at the neighborhood or downtown
picture palace. What's more, to
the Drive-In you can wear any old
thing, even your pajamas, so you'll
be ready to tumble in when you
get home.
Heights Of Something
But now the zenith has been
reached. You can warm the baby's
10 o'clock bottle! At the conces-
sion stand there are now indi-
vidual bottle warmers. When His
Nibs starts squirming and cram-
ming his fist into his mouth, and
making the other gyrations and
noises that indicate his innards
are empty, you simply take off
with the bottle and the baby and
make your way through the rows
of cars to the bottle warmers. You
warm the bottle and get it in his
mouth just before he opens it for
that piercing yowl that means
you'd better get him fed in a
hurry.
Back to the car to take off your
shoes again and enjoy the picture
while Ilis Royal Highness, with
his little belly comfortably full,
crams his fist in his mouth again
and goes off to sleep—you hope.
A Pepsodent smile and twinkly
eyes: Doc Walter White, the op-
tometrist.
Some of the juke-box crowd had
their mamas making apple pan
dowy. When the song was so pop-
ular. The results were varied.
One batch came from the oven as
plain, good, ole apple pie. An-
other came out as dumplings, than
which there is none whicher. The
students said so themselves. Apple
strudel, almost as good as that at
Kovar once long ago. But none,
they said, tasted like Dinah Shore
made it sound.
body has their shades up, don't
you?"
The gal's got talent!
That's Jean BrocKmeier (Lower
Nottingham). Tall, blond and
handsome; looks like a Powers
model. You should see her
sketches. She has a flair for the
humorous and has a way with car-
toons. She sketched Em Thomp-
son complete with freckles and
pig-tails diving into Schumacher's
Hole at Hunt that is the prize pos-
session in the Thompson home

So neat, so bright, so choosy;
It never shows a speck of dirt,
