War and rumors of war cloud the horizon, and no one knows what the outcome o.f the present crisis will be. We hope and pray for peaceand there is no peace, and there never will be as long as greedy, evil men get into high places of power among nations. ores • Due to the ignorance of Ye Ed. concerning the game rules in this state, a collossal error was made last week in the write-up about Arch James. We stated that he got four pheasants in one morning. This is one over the limit allowed by law. The truth is that Arch was with three other hunters, and the four of them got their ttmit of three birds apiece. It was just a case of poor reporting on our part. However, Arch has received a great deal of publicity through this story, and no game wardens have been around checking upyet. • We still have plenty of fine Christmas greeting cards in stock, and are giving 24 hour service on imprinting names thereon. If you haven't purchased your cards yet, come in and see ours while the selection is still good. • An excellent editorial appeared in Monday morning's Tribune, ti· tied "What Used to Be Black Is Now White." The writer reveals all the principal blunders that Uncle Sam has made in the last decade. It goes something like this: "In the 1940's we fought Japan to China who is now fighting us. Today Japan is considered our ally. In fom· years we spent billions and lost a balf·million casualties to break Germany. Today we want to rearm Germany and make her an ally. During World War II we gave Russia billions in lend·lease; now Russia is our prime enemy. Just four years ago Yugoslavia shot down American planes; now we want to give Tito financial aid. Our closest ally, Britain, wants to Communist China, yet has in Korea fighting the Chin· Our two best bets in the fight against Communism, Chiang Kai-shek and Spain's Franco have been ignored up until now in our handout of gifts." We could go on further with this kind of stuff, but the more we ponder the things that have been done, the more con~ fused we get. • Two new business enterprises in the spotlight this week.

We believe that the Chamber of Commerce will prove to be a great asset to this city.
