DOWNTOWN KAYSVILLE s as t v. t 5 BLOSSOMS to n N WITHOUT Making for a more beautiful downtown Kaysville are Becky Ward, 10, left, and her sister Lori, 11, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. K. Meldon Ward. The pair are making sure the geraniums blossom as part of a project sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, chaired by Randy Thompson. Chamber Pres. Fran Brown said the downtown area has been a real concern and this year weeds have been pulled and flowers planted to help make for a more attractive business center. their help this In 1945, on August 6th, a superfortress named the Enola Gay piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets arrived over Hiroshima, Japan. It carried the first atom bomb used in war, dropping it on that city of 343,000. Sixty percent of the metropolis was devasted by the bomb. ANOTHER WAS dropped five days later on Nagasaki; the two killed 70,000 people and made another 120,000 homeless, in addition to injuring many others. Japan sued for peace within days. Thus the two atomic bombs proved the psychological and military shock that ended the war. William Manchesters current book about the life (and vanity) of Gen. Douglas MacArthur is an educating comment on American involvement in Asia in this century.

Those sponsoring teams this year have been Barnes Bank, Much nonsense has since been written, here and abroad, about the supposed inhumanity of America in using the horrible weapon. Their use probably saved hundreds of thousands of U.S. casualties by shortening the war. ANY U.S. President who had possessed the means to end the war and did not use it to save American lives would have been widely condemned. Wrong Advice The trouble with good advice is that it usually interferes with our plans. MacArthur, unfortunately, saw his military career come to an end under unhappy cir- cumstances. A AFTER brilliant recovery in South Korea, U.S. forces under his command were routed in North Korea by massive Chinese intervention and President Truman refused his demand to use nuclear weapons, or to bomb China. To many, this was the first VOVtV 19 14 Adiigiuisti, There was an August this century that changed the lives of almost every human on earth August 1914. THE WAR that erupted that month, exactly 65 years ago, ended a way of life, a style of living, an idealism that was partly romantic and partly chivalry, and introduced Communism into the world in Russia. America, it is now known, entered that war against Germany largely because of misinformation and propaganda. THE FAMED liner Lusitania was indeed carrying contraband when torpedoed and sunk. And Germany had a valid claim to conduct unrestricted submarine warfare in view of the fact that the British Navy was starving the German people systematically with a blockade. But the German Emperor (Kaiser) was a blustering, proud and pompous man, not down the road to appeasement of Asian communist nations. To others, the thought of a massive land war with China was abhorrent and Truman, therefore, was seen as having saved hundreds of. thousands of American lives. fatal step THE READER may decide this for himself, by reading American Caesar (Little Brown Co.) excerpts of which appear in Julys Readers Digest. very effective in the field of public relations. And the Germans were confident they could win a war in central Europe. OF COURSE, American sympathy went out to its mother country because of the common language and heritage. But the question remains whether the defeat of Gerin many 1918 produced anything good. The treaty of 1919 embittered Germany, made a new war certain and produced Adolf Hitler. GERMANY, to help bring about Russias surrender in 1917, helped Lenin to power and thus planted Communism in the western world.

MacArthur stayed at the scene of his triumph for many years, as BACK TO SCHOOL SAVINGS virtual ruler of Japan. As the reader will probably determine for himself, MacArthurs greatest con- tribution to the Allied cause, and democracy, was probably an effective, farsighted postwar military rule in Japan. ALTHOUGH he was a brilliant strategist in the field of military arts, his post-waccomplishment was one few if any other Americans could have fashioned. ar Dick Says "Buy from us where we Service what we sell!
