ATOMIC BOMBS Science has made great strides dur- ing the past number of years, and dur- ing this war period has perfeeted or Accomplished certain things that have Pet men to wondering what will be nest, Probably the most outstanding scientific discovery has been the atomic bomb. This instrument of death and destruction shows clearly that man might well destroy himself if his own inventions were used in a world-wide war in which all nations had the full use of such things as the atomic bomb. As we write this the atomic bomb has been used but two times and in the first attack sixty per 'tent of Hiroshima was destroyed and in the last attack thirty per cent of Nagasaki was wiped out. Practically every living thing in the areas destroy- ad was obliverated, It was welcome Pews when President Truman an- Pounced that the secret of this instru.- Aunt of destruction would not be given to other countries until a de- fence against it had been worked out. rile United States, Britain and Can- Ada hold this secret.

This action and the atomic bomb had a great ef-. feet on Japan and they at once started to sue for peace. Russia has an old score to settle with Japan and we have a feeling that things will have to be one hundred per cent to her liking be- fore she will accept peace terms. Germany was made to give up in a manner which places the Allies in complete control and although we are writing this shortly after these peace offers were made, we have a feeling that this should be the case with Japan and probably will, Things are rather complicated as the Emperor, Hirohito is not only head of the State but also of the Japanese religion. One thing is sure the Allies will take a very realistic view of any terms that they may accept. * * * * There will be a blood donor clinic her on Wednesday next week.

HIGHLIGHTS OF TRUMAN TALK Highlights of President Truman's radio talk Thursday evening. What we are doing to Japan now— even with the new atomic bomb—is only a small fraction of what would happen to the world in a third world war. * * * * The Japs will soon learn some of the other military secrets agreed upon at Berlin. They will learn them first hand—and they will not like them. * * * * I realize the tragic significance of the atomic bomb, . . . We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war . . War has indeed come home to Ger man people. It has come home in all the frightfulness with which the Ger- man leaders started and waged it. * * * * The German people are beginning to atone for the crimes of the gang- sters whom they placed in power and whom they wholeheatredly approved and obediently followed. * * * * 11We are going to do what we can to make Germany over into a decent nation, so that it may eventually work i ts way from the economic chaos it has brought upon itself, back into a place i n the civilized world. * * * * We do not intend again to make the mistake of exacting reparations in money and then lending Germany the money with which to pay. * * * * The first purpose of reparations is, to take out of Germany everything with which she can prepare for ant, other war. * * * * Any man who sees Europe now must realize that victory in a. great war is not something that you win once and for all, like victory in a ball game. * * * * Victory in a great war is something that must be won and kept won. Europe today is hungry . , Unless we do what we can to help we may lose next winter what we won at such terrible cost last spring, THE ROAD AHEAD A Column For Service People By William Stephenson. "Three weekago i bought a car, which I needed in my work as an insurance salesman," writes an ex- Lieutenant of the Royal Canadian Engineers from New Westminster, I3,C, '"The deal was rather sudden, and I did not' have time to consult with the director of Re-establishment Credit, Will they repay me the amount I spent for the ear " The regulations require that the Re- establishment Credit be applied for before the veteran signs on the dotted line or lays out any of his own cash. Then, if D.V.A.'s Credits Division has approved, he rushes Ms purchase and D.V,A, looks after the Invoice, Where a car is necessary for his business, DAY/tient may he made hr this way, You have riot followed the usual pro,, eedure, and, as the credit may not be paid in cash to reimburse a veteran for a purchase he has made, you will not be Able to have your car paid for in this way, However, you apparently have the car you need and also your credit which you • will undoubtedly want to use for some other purpose before the ten years are up.- "I've signed up for the Pacific,. and am proceeding to Brockville in the first leg of the trip", writes a Private from Victoria Mines, Ontario, "Nat- urally, none of us know how long we'll be away, but I for one want to make sore all the good land won't be gone when I get back.
