Cook JAPAN DEFEATED The confirmation of V- -J Day, Aug. 14, by Pres. Truman that Japan had accepted unconditional surrender, drove the people of the world into a frenzy of delirious joy. Nothing could surpass the wild gayety, tears of happiness, shouting and tooting of horns that millions gaged in. Deep in the hearts bf all .rested the thought No more shooting, no more killing the war's over! Years of heartbreaking news that friends and relatives were missing in action, lost at sea or prisoners of war has come to an end. The misfortunes of war are to be forever a thing of the past.

M-S- After four years four , long years of blood, sweat and tears, the wars have at last been won. The purpose for which the mightiest Army, Navy, and Air Force in the history of the world were created has been accom plished, and soon they shall be demobilized until only a small portion remains. America has with all tne peace-lovipeoples of the world in bringing to a successful conclusion the mightiest task ever set before civilization, and it was only by such an alliance that the Unted Nations succeeded, and the world breathed a sigh of re lief. The wars are ended, but the fighting is not. The fighting will never end. If future wars are to be averted, we must forever strive toward that purpose. We did not do this after the last war, and the inevitable happened. It is true we are tired of the sickening aspect of armed conflict which fills our hospitals with wounded, fields with dead, and homes with war weary soldiers who will find it so hard to forget; but this is a different kind of fight requiring differ ent (and attitudes and weapons. A continuing peace requires intelligent reasoning, not destructive brawn; perseverance; and trust and un derstanding of other nations and peoples. Peace, and preservation of peace, is something difficult to understand. Not so conflict. A bullet is quite definite its purpose and effectiveness is not open to question or debate or indecision or bickering as peace is so prone to be. Our world of war or of peace then, consists largely of what the millions of the world's people individually and collectively think, and the action which comes solely as a result of that thinking. It is the factor which makes man superior to all the other creatures of the world. We must not make the mistake of avoiding the issue of peace be cause we are weary of war. It is up to us, therefore, and to all people who wish to live secure and on friendly terms with their neighbors, to avoid future catastrophes.

A committee comprised of approxi mately 20 enlisted women have pooled their ideas on the best possible color schemes which ' might be used to convert our dayroom from an eyesore to one Lt. of beauty and comfort. Martha L. Stone, who is direct ing these activities, and mem bers of the committee are still open for constructive sugges tions. So any members of the squadron who are adapted to interior- decorating, let's have some of those ideas. We still have several months to go, so any steps toward beautifying our dayroom, both for our en joyment and for the enjoyment of our guests, will be greatly ap preciated. . - In the event your mail has slowed up, why not try sending a wire home, as Pfc.

The following morning while at breakfast, "Bert" received a long distance telephone call from her aunt in Paterson. N. J., (to whom the wire was sent) inquir ing how much money she needed.

Marvin R. White Sgt. Vic Heisse, The men of the guard squadron wish to take this opportunity to thank all those officers and enlisted men who made it possible for each and every man of the guard squadron to attend the squadron picnic held at Patio Springs last Friday, August 10. The 9th Depot Unit took over all the duties of the guard squadron for a twenty-fo(24) hour period, our sincere thanks. Lt. Lane, of the provost marshals office, and Pfc. Salvatore Palmeri, better known as Whit-e- y, can sure beat out that rhythm on their guitars. They had the entire party jumping. Anyone wishing to have his girl friend serenaded can call Lt. Lane or Whitey, I am sure that they will be only too happy to oblige. Everyone knows Clarence E. (Sheriff) Melton, that who gave no one a bad time. He will be wearing his sheriff's hat, and no uniform by the time the Hill Fielder next goes to press. Good luck, Sheriff, wish I could be going with you. An other member of the guard squadron to receive his discharge is Sgt. Fred Smith. We are going to miss you Fred. . whq at his home in lopekai ing quite a tussle with I prit, Sir Stork.

He was married to Miss Ruth Crouch, now Mrs. Fred Smith, on Sunday August 12, 1945. at the First Baptist Church in Salt Lake City. The happy couple will take up resi dence in Louisville. Ky. Rumor has it that Sgt. Smith will be a Kentucky Colonel soon. Our sincere wishes for a life of health and happiness to the newlyweds. Our CO. Capt. Nelson A.
