THE WAR IN EUROPE ENDS
For many months Germany's defeat was a foregone con
clusion. Only in the element of time was there any uncer
tainty. For weeks that uncertainty has no longer existed.
Once the Rhine was crossed and allied columns began their
advance beyond that barrier, Germany was a defeated na
tion. But there was still uncertainty in the question of when
German leaders would admit defeat, when they would order
their armies to cease fighting.
These leaders were hopefully looking for terms. The
nuisance value of continued resistance, they apparently be
lieved, could be used in bargaining with the invaders. If this
were so the value was diminishing as the western allies cross
sectioned the part of the country assigned for their operations
and the Russians pushed relentlessly on to Berlin. It continued
to diminish as eastern and western forces met, as the soviet
troops went on with their grim task of chopping up the Ger
man capital, as swittiy moving columns cue on reu eai 10 uie
Bavarian Alps and as allied forces in north Italy isolated
considerable German forces left in that area. Too, soldiers of
the reich were taking matters into their own hands and seek
int? onnortunitv to surrender when they were not forced to,
Then there developed what was apparently a progressive
nroirram of surrender. It could bo seen alter the Jtimmler at
tempt to make terms with America and Britain, but not with
Russia, was turned down, after it had been made plain that
the unconditional surrender ot trie nation must ne macie to an
the allies. From then on, the speed of surrender of army units
increased. The German army in Italy gave up and, at virtually
the same time the army in Austria. Some resistance continued
to be made, but it was chiefly to fight free from a Russian en
velopment in order that American or British forces might be
the captors. Even yesterday, when unconditional surrender
had been agreed to, but not oflicially announced, Germans in
the Czeeho-Slovakian theater, where Russian troops domi
nated allied activities, refused to honor the peace and were
fighting on. In the main, however, this program of surrender
by army units had been pretty well completed
And so, when official capitulation nnauy came, there was
not a great deal left to give up. Except that it can be said,
"these nations are no longer at war," the situation is much
the same as it would have been had the allied armies gone
on with their campaign of piecemeal conquest until there
was actually nothing left to surrender. It was nearly ended.
Now it is ended.
There is from our own viewpoint, however, a difference
which we would be callous to ignore the fact that the men
and boys of our forces are no longer facing the dangers of
war in the European theater. This plus the fact that we may
now devote our entire energy and resources to winning the
other war which still remains to be won.
For these things we may bo supremely thankful. For the
mere fact that the Germans have capitulated,, however, there
is no sound reason for jubilation. We have reached the end of
one chapter and will go on to the next, y . ' '

By the middle of October the
foliage was gone from the maples
and birches, leaving the birds
nests bare. The burdock withered,
and the milkweed clung to its last
little banners of white. Except for
one long,- green line of morning
glories, the growth along the
shore was limp and darkened.
Lobster pots toppled above the
high-water mark. Dories were
drawn up and turned over, power
boats cradled and housed. Every
morning there was a thin shell of
ice in the pond above the dam.
In November It grew steadily
colder. My father had promised
that we would be home by Christ
mas, but he had never set the ex
act day. Whenever we pressed my
mother for it, she put us off by
saying, "You'll find out in good
time." Though we were impatient,
we were not apprehensive, for we
know that there was almost
enough money on hand to pay the
note.
The cold kept up until the end
of November. Still there was no
snow. Jay was getting worried,
for the cuts in the road were hard
on the wagon. They loosened t he
body bolts and racked the wheels.
A thaw early in Dccemher only
made traveling harder than ever,
for lit nooti there was mud to con
tend with and at morning and
night re frozen ground.
On the ninth of the month the
tongue showed a crack, which Mr.
Ciddings repaired with an iron
band. On the twelfth, Just as the
Christmas loads were beginning,
a spring broke. That meant only
one thing - a new wagon. It would '
cost $l.r0. i
' My mother dreaded to tell us, j
hut she couldn't put it off, for we!
were asking her daily when we
should begin to pack our things, j
That night she came into the par-1
lor where we were playing Pit. ;
"Girls," she said, "we won't be go
ing home a tier all. We'll have
our tree right here in the coiner." .
Mr. Cutter had been growing
lazier and lazier. He never swept
the office or shoveled the snow
from the piazza without being re-,
minded. Day after day he let the
clock run down. His naps grew
longer. When he was awake, he
Just sat on his stool drawing his
circles or handling some of the
bright new Lincoln pennies.Some
times he piled them up In tiers.
Sometimes he arranged them in
intricate patterns around the
brass-topped circular inkwell.
When anyone came in, he guard
ed them Jealously. I never got a
chance at the register and the
paper weight except when he was
in the dining room.
Mrs. Guptill's irritabilitiy was
keeping us out of the kitchen. She
sputtered constantly above the
cold, for, located as it was, the
stove couldn't possibly heat the
entire room. She kept harping,
too, on Mr. Cutter. His laziness.
His extravagance. His appetite.
The business of the lamp plagued
her terribly. She didn't say much
about that, but she kept her eye's
open.
One afternoon she came hurry
ing down to the kitchen where
my mother was ironing and listen
ing to ray complaints about how
drab the days were.
"I've found out," she gasped.
I brightened, for her face sug
gested an outrage.
"Found out what?" my mother
asked, looking up.
"What he does with It." He,
spoken so scornfully, could mean
just one person as far as Mrs.
Guptill was concerned.
"Does with what?"
"The kerosene."
"Oh." My mother had never
begrudged Mr. . Cutter his kero
sene. His extravegance was the
least thing she held against him.
We girls had never given it a
thought. "Well, whot does he do
with it?"
Mrs. Guptiill's face took on an
expression of disgust: "He uses
it to soak his hands in."
From Mrs. Guptill's manner, my
mother, too, must have been ex
pecting something more. "Well,"
she said coolly, "that's probably
the way he keeps them so nice
and white." '
Her composure knocked some
of the wind out of Mrs. Guptill's
sails. "If you ask me, I think
something should be done about
it," she said, looking Injured. Then
she left and went back upstairs.
I felt quite let down. Still it was
a story. ...
"Are you going to tell Papa?"
I asked my mother.
She shook her head. If my fa
ther had not been moved by the
discord Mr. Cutter was causing,
he was unlikely to be Impressed
by the fact that he soaked his
hands in kerosene. Besides, she
had her pride. For some reason
my father could not discharge Mr.
Cutter. If lie did not care to di
vulge that reasbn, .she would not
ask it. She would not even bring
the subject up.
"I've said all I Intend to say,"
she told me.

Civilian Motorists May Get
More Gas; Tires Are Scarce
By Joseph Laltin
United Frees Staff Correspondent)
Washington, May 8 upi The
brownout ends with the complete
victory In Europe.
The horse racing ban and the
midnight curfew on entertain
ment are expected to be lifted
too.
Civilian motorists may be able
to get more gascline within sev
eral weeks.
But otherwise the victory In
Europe brings no prospect of ear
ly relaxation of the home front
controls that directly affect indi
viduals. The food situation In particu
lar remains acute and will be so
for many months. It may even
eet worse before it gets better.
That in hrief sums UD the oic-l
ture outlined by government of-:
ficials. They reminded that the
war in the Pacific and the relief
needs of Europe still will make :
enormous demands oh home front
supplies of goods and manpower.'
Former Mobilization Director
James F. Byrnes said April 1 that
V-E day should bring an end to
the brownout, the midnight cur
few on pleasure and the ban on
horse racing. WPB Chairman J. 1
A. Krug confirmed on May 5 that ,
the brownout would end on V-E
day. .
Here is the supply outlook in ;
more detail:.
Food the food situation will
remain tight . and perhaps be-i
come tighter as the United States !
fulfills its commitments to pro-i
vide relief to the war-torn coun-
tries of Europe. The meat short-'
age will continue and possibly be-1
come more acute. Strict sugar ra- j
Honing will continue throughout (
the War with Japan. There Is no
immediate prospect for easing re-'
strictions on processed foods and:
fats and oils. !
Automobiles cars should be;
rolling off assembly lines within'
three or four months after this
100 per cent war industry is giv
en a go-ahead. i
' Other durable goods war pro-1
duction board officials expect al: ;
most all types refrigerators, ra
dios, washing machines, vacuum -cleaners,
alarm clocks and stoves
to be back In retail outlets)
within 12 months. j
Tires there is no prospect that i
the critical tire shortage will be;.
eased soon. Even a sharp drop In
military demands would leave a
heavy backlog of unfilled orders
for rationed tires and months will
pass before the demand is satis
fled. ,
Gasoline motorists can expect
increased gasoline rations within
a few months. Petroleum Admin
istrator Harold L. Ickes. a few
weeks ago expressed hope for a
50 per cent increase soon after
V-E day. Later he hedged on, the
estimate.
Shoes one production, official
said "V-E day doesn't mean a
thing" in relieving the shoe, short
age and predicted that shoes must
be rationed "for a couple ot
years."-Production has lagged far
behind demand and stocks have
become so depleted that no mill,
tary cutback could enable the
shoe industry to meet civilian de
mands for months.
Housing continuing tight sup.
plies of lumber will prevent any
sudden .upsurge in building.
Damage to Washington, state's
crops by foraging deer and elk
practically has been eliminated.
Hay stacks and. orcharda have
been fenced In to remove tempta
tion to the wild animals.

SAYS:
The War Is NOT Over!
Not by a lot of what Mr. Churchill so graphically describes as "blood
and sweat and tears." . '
Fighting in Europe is ended but the dead are not all counted
the missing not all accounted for. The wounded will suffer for months
years; end the toil and suffering continue!
And we still have a war on our hands! A war that will last months
perhaps years! That means only one thing we've got to keep
punching keep working keep buying war bonds!
Personally, the war won't be over for us until Jimmie Van Huffel, our
friends in Company I and the rest of the Bend boys are back those
who are coming back!
We hated to add those last words, but perhaps they'll be the re
minder you need to realize that the war is NOT over. We've GOT
TO KEEP PUNCHING !
