A poll of the exiled government heads of various European countries brings forth the prediction that the be before November. These officials included prime ministers, foreign min- war in Europe will over isters and war ministers, eight in all Dr. Eduard Benes, President of Czecho-Slovakia, believes the war may be over in Europe by October 1, while others place the date as “before Christmas.” Part of the Czech government already is waiting inside of Russia to enter their country and the Belgian officials have their bags packed in London awaiting the Channel crossing. Others are prepared to return home on a moment's notice. According to all indications European conflict will be only a matter of weeks. It may be very well that the war in Europe will be over before Christmas However, we still think it will be a good idea if all persons having kin in the armed forces would make sure that they get their Christmas gifts off to their sons, brothers and husbands fighting overseas before the October deadline. A big job remains to be accomplished in the Pacific theatre of war. Apparently the strategy has been plotted at the Quebec conference and earlier meetings. Although there has been no definite an- nouncments concerning how the job of beating the | Japs will be accomplished, there are indications that | there will be plenty of fireworks.

Another is the “Locust,” a new airborne tank with the fighting power of a medium tank, and other weapons about which little has been said. The most striking indication of what is to come, however, was in the recent announcement by Sec: tary of the Navy Forrestal who pointed out the other day that the American fleet now consists of more than 65,000 vessels, of which 1,150 are major fighting craft He went on to state that the program of construction is “little more than half finished.” Even now our Navy is by far the greatest in the world, and if it is doubled United States will have far more maritime might rest of the world combined that the Navy will carry a land and across swampy bogs six men or the than It seems apparent great bulk of the load in the forthcoming campaign in the Far East.

As an e the rather futile results of the physical programs in many schools. Between 1910 and 1930, cities and perienced an upsurge of commendable sciousness and erected many imposing junior high schools. In addition to shops, art rooms and libraries the sehools had a good thing alled leisure- ample, consider education towns civic con- senior and kitchens, gleaming, ex- ! spacious gymnasiums, with the accompanying college accoutrements of locker rooms, showers and charts and graphs for recording heights and weights. At t point calisthenics became old-fashioned. The physica ulturists wanted the emphasis put on group games It was not the mode to teach boys and girls to de- velop lungs and muscles. The important things were cooperation, mellow attitudes and learning to be fol- lowers, plus games for later-life leisure-time ac- tivities. Unfortunately, as it seems to some, at the same time the fancy gymnasiums came into being there was a movement to carry pupils to schools in buses. Perhaps it was felt that if a youngster walked a mile or a mile and a half to school he would be too weary to cooperate enthusiastically in tap-dancing and folk games of Balkan tinge. Leisure is a lesson learned as one lives. There is leisurely living as well as leisure-time activities. Many adults know that their most enjoyable times are periods when they are free to follow their own desires. Professional proponents of the art are inclined to be | overzealous. It is a good thing to have lessens in square dancing for urbanites; but the whooper-up | spirit of the affair may be a bit too much for the middle-aged who prefer to eat less and spend spare hours with a time-tried book, to putter hit-or-miss fashion in a lilliputian garden, or follow a work-alone hobby. Perhaps the answer is organized activities for those who are predominantly extroverts, and self- chosen fields for others. If one works in the midst of people and in the web of human relationships, it is reasonable that the sweetest leisure will be in quiet- ness and peace. The total program is encouraging There are State and national parks; cities and towns | spend moneys for supervised playground: hools have clubs of all kinds; a strenuous busine: Leisure, we feel, man's private business.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Revolutionary inclinations will be extensive inside ‘Germany, where financial collapse is prognosticated. The existence of hidden wealth, gathered by Nazi leaders, will be suspected by the war-weary people, who will gradually and reluctantly surrender their lingering faith in the Fuehrer.

Children born on this day prob- ably will be popular and able to win success. They should early be taught usefulness.
