in styling with hard-ton "convertibles" of more expensive automobiles, will be shown here for the
first time tomorrow at the Barnes Chevrolet company. Luxurious interior appointments together
with the swank convertible-style lines combine to make the new model one of the most attractive in
the line of 1950 Chevrolets, dealers say.

There's a big to-do in Belgium
over whether or not King Leo
pold shall come back from Swit
zerland and sit on his Belgian
throne. Personally, I don't care a
hoot one way or the other, and I
presume you feel the same way
about it. But the reasons why
he isn't silting on his throne now
carry a certain amount of inter
est for us.
ESPECIALLY at this moment
when we are beginning to ship
guns and such to turope to gel
our new allies there ready to
meet a possible invasion by an
other aggressor.
AWAY back toward the.be
cinnini; nf World War II the
Germans, after a puzzling period
of inactivity that was generally
referred to at the time as the
"phony war," struck swiftly and
terrifyingly. The blow fell first
on France, with a sideswipe at
Belgium.
The German panzer divisions
went through the French Magi
not line like a hot knife through
butter, but for a couple of tense
weeks we kept hoping that the
once-great French army would
rally behind a new line and stop
the invaders.

A T THIS strained and critical
moment, with the fate of half
the world hanging In the balance,
King Leopold SURRENDERED
THE BELGIAN ARMY, and him
self along with it.
That cooked the goose of the
British army which had been
trying to back up and reinforce
the French. The Germans poured
around the left wing of the
French and the British, which
was left undefended by the Bel
gian surrender.
T'HE debacle of Dunkirk fol-
lowed. In that grimly heroic
disaster, the British lost the
flower of their military forces
and at the moment is certainly
looked like the jig was up.
It was in that black hour that
Churchill delivered his blood,
tears and sweat speech that will
stand forever as an expression
of deathless courage by a leader.
The bold words of Churchill
were backed up by the British
people with their lives and their
fortunes and what followed, followed.
the postwar world.
That, fundamentally, Is why
they have a "dollar shortage"
problem.
BUT let's get back to Leopold.
His surrender SAVED
Belgium from the horrors of war.
The little nation rode through
those years as a conquered peo
ple. Leopold rode through them
as a prisoner of war.
The British FOUGHT through
them and bled themselves white.
I'VE retold this story to explain
this story to explain in part
why the Belgians have been a
bit torn with doubt by the dilem
ma posed by the possible return
of Leopold to the throne of his
fathers.
Some of them are GRATE
FUL TO HIM, probably, for the
fact that they are alive. Others,
I suspect, still feel the shame of
the surrender.
they're a tough and hard-bitten
lot. They'll stand in the face of
a Russian blitz, as they stood in
the face of the German blitz.
Win, lose or draw. They're that
kind of a breed,
But the rest of Europe is un
certain. It could do as Belgium
did. We can't blink that possibility.

da, Cal., will carry Identification
on his next visit to Memphis. He
reached town in the midst of a
police search for a liquor store

jail.
0 GOLDEN WEST'S richer flavor
W Set MGmCttf per pound
IT IS one of the splendid stories
of history. Basically the sacri
fices made by the British people
in that awful hour and the
bloody and awful hours that fol
lowed are responsible for the
fix they are in at the present
time. The struggle so weakened
them that they have been unable
to meet fully the problems of
WHAT I started out to say is
this:
We are pouring arms and
treasure into western Europe in
the hope that if a RUSSIAN
BLITZ SHOULD START the na
tions of western Europe would
hold the line while we rally our
forces as the British rallied
theirs after Dunkirk.
How do we know that will
happen?
We don't.
We're sure of the British.
Whatever else they may be,
Every fragrant cup of Golden West brims with the
richer flavor of prized Central American coffees. Yet
Golden West actually costs less than ordinary coffees!
It can give you 20 extra cups per pound!
Here's how to enjoy richer coffee flavor and save.
Just brew Colden West your usual way. There are
3 grinds for regular-drip-Silex methods. But use 13
less. YouH get the satisfaction of richer flavor and
save up to 8 a pound!
