A resolu tion passed by Congress on May 10, 1013, fixed the second Sunday in May a national day dedicated to the memory of mother. * * * The carnation worn on Moth er’s Duy is the least that we can do. It spcukH in eloquent manner of a felling that is too deep for speech. Wise are we if we spend a part of that day in church, list ening to a message that deepens Wiioui us regard for the day and for her whom we try to honor on this day. Life, being governed so largely by sentiment, must have these seusons, and frequently. We are better men and women for pay ing u tribute of love to her who bore us, guided us and taught us the wuys of right-living, and showed us how it is always best to be honorable and true and up right. v / v Speaking of the punishment of war criminals, the Allies were cheated at the close of World War 1 by German Judges. The original list of 900 German offic ers and officials was whittled down to 49 indictments, of which, however, only 12 were actually brought before court. Half of the defendants were acquitted. The other half sentenced to mild pri son terms but spirited away from their cells after a few days of confinement. This time, how ever, the Allies will see that stern justice will be meted Axis war criminals, regardless of rank. * / * We read that in Philadelphia last week German-born Mrs. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, wife of one of World War l ’s most pub licized draft dodgers, was grant ed United States citizenship. Un equivocally disavowing any sym pathy with or belief in Hitler's National Socialism, Mrs. Bergdoll later told reporters, “Publicity means nothing to me: becoming a citizent of the United States is the most important thing in my life." # * * If a chicken could be develop ed that dines exclusively on in-1 sect pests, Uncle Zeke says thati he could then have a combination poultry yard and garden. * * * Mother Hubbard’s bare cup board was a couple of hundred years ahead of the time. v * * Juvenile delinquency was a rar ity in the days of old-fashioned parents. * 1 4 The anxiously awaited V-E- Day arrived Tuesday.

A new schedule of arrivals and departures will be worked dut and announced later. The decision of the Public Util ities Commission came about be cause of a petition from the local company to increase its service to pickup and deliver passengers on the intermediate points, when the revenue fell below operating expenses as a result of the slack ening of activities at Camp White The company was originated at the heighth of activities at Camp White and at that time did a flourishing business in carrying military personnel and civilian workers who lived in Ashland back and forth daily. The peti tion was opposed by other through bus lines on the grounds that they were operating a sche dule of sufficient number of buses to adequately handle the traffic. The cage was heard in Medford on March 14th and no further word had been heard since that time until the news came Tuesday that the Rogjue Valley Transit had been granted the permit to operate a new sche dule.
