GERMANS BOMB
UNDEFENDED ISLANDS
Germany has served notice on Bri
tain by her bombing and machine-
gunning of the undefend Jersey and
Guernsey that she does not intend to
observe the rules of warfare. The
Nazis, of course, are not noted for
their humane actions. During the
Great War the German atrocities
startled the world and to-day they
carry their ruthless killing into unde
fended areas. In a raid on the Chan
nel Islands, after they had been de
clared demilitarized, the Nazi bomb
ers swooped over the islands dropping
bombs -and machine-gunning the help
less. There are those who have not
yet awakened to the fact that Ger
many will do anything and everything
to crush the British Empire. In the
words of one of the prominent Eng
lish statesmen which he uttered a few
days ago “We will have ito get tough."

-RUSSIA TAKES A BIT
The entry of Russia into a portion
of Rumania, taking -over Bessarabia
and Nonthern Bukovina, after King
Carol and his government bowed >to
the dictates of the Rusian Bear, was
what a great many expected for some
time. Russia timed this move very
-expertly, when the Axis powers are
busy warring on Britain. The prov
ince of Bessarabia was a pant of Rus
sia before the last war and Russia has
never acknowledged the right of Ru
mania to it. However, this move on
the part of Russia may be the means
-of setting aflame war in the Balkans.
Hungary wants back that portion of
’Rumania she lost and Bulgaria is sit-
ling like a vulture ready to pounce.
Turkey will do all in her power to
"keep control of the Dardanelles. Ger

river flowing
surprising how
many of our children do not know
how to swim. Every person should
have a knowledge of swimming and
life-saving. It is difficult in a small
town to afford instruction along these
lines but something should be done
about it. The river, when -the water
is low, is not a very desirabl place to
swim but it does afford an opportun
ity for our younger generation to cool
off in the hot weather. There are a
number of younger people here who
could teach swimming if they were or
ganized for /this purpose and the cost
would be kept down to practically no
thing. We believe -that some organiza
tion .could take this idea up and make
a success of it.
