None of the military experts
to think that the sadden German drive
at Kharkov can be the beginning of a
enl spring offeusoe It is too
early for that. Probably it is a purely
defensive action, intended to throw the
sians back on their heels momen-
tarily. Even assuming that Die Nazis
intend to continue a strategic retreat,
a sudden blow delivered to the enemy
would give them time for orderly
withdrawal. One strategist suggests
that the Kharkov counter-offensive
is intended to give the Germans an
opportunity to withdraw without
heavy loss from the entire northern
sector in the neighborhood of Lenin-
grad.
The general interpretation to be pat
upon the retreat of the Nazis from
their Stalingrad and Caucasus salients
is that the Germans have lost the war.
The interpretations to he sought in
the east-front campaign from here on
oat mast be primarily with regard
to, not the eventual winner of the war,
hat the length of time that will be
taken for the Allies to win it. From
his own vantage point, Stalin prob-
ably sees this more clearly than any-
one else, (ft coarse, it is for Washing-
ton and London to say whether the
sacrifice of the lives of oar youths in
starting an invasion of Europe now
will be less than if it is started later.
One widely read observer is saying
that “it is obvious that the second
front in Europe will be by airplane
exclusively this summer.” This may
be the right strategy, though the arm-
chair slant favors a smashing land in-
vasion. By any consideration, the sig-
nificant development of World War

dence that the Nazis made their max-
imum all-oat bid for mastery of all
Europe, and failed. They are now re-

BOY SCOUT NEWS
The Boy Scouts have adopted a con-
stitution which permits no Scout to
curse or use slang. If they used God’s
name in vain, they will have to apolo-
gize to their fellow Scouts, go through
the belt line, and miss the next hike.
We are also going to start having
prayer meetings and let one Scout
each week give a talk on any Bible
story.
You mothers of Scouts' won’t have
to worry about your boys staying out
late any more because we are going
to have 30 minutes of play period be-
fore the Scout meeting and 30 min-
utes after. After that they are told
to go home. We want to urge all
Scouts to come to the meetings on
Monday night at 7:30.

Some people are believed to be using
their cars more since rationing of
gasoline, and others are thought to be
buying more food since rationing
hooks have been issued, although this
may not be true. Possibly ear owners
feel they should use up their gasoline
tickets and those with food books are
supposed to use them without regard
to necessity—a wrong idea.

The nomination by President Roose-
velt of former Governor Allred for
the Federal Judgeship of the Fifth
Circuit Court with its headquarters in
Louisiana received a serious- and pos-
sibly permar.ent set-back last Monday
when the Senate committee voted a 9
to 9 tie and the nomination was at
least dead for the time being, and
some high up in political Eiffairs seem
to believe the President will withdraw
.the nomination.

Rex Colwick, who has been a stu-
dent of A. & M. College, came home on
Tuesday of this week and left the fol-
lowing afternoon for Camp Wolters,
Mineral Wells, Texas, where he
started training with Uncle Sam’s
forces. Because of his rating by rea-
son of considerable military training
and educational advantages gained at
A. & M., it is not believed he will re-
main at his first stop but a short
while, but possibly will be sent to an
officers’ training school.

The most economical way to PROTECT your HOME and
BARNS is to use PAINT.
GLIDDEIV’S TIME TESTED PAINTS
ARE THE BEST
There’s nothing nicer than your HOME in its peaceful
setting when it gets a new coat of paint. And it’s REAL
ECONOMY to keep your Home well painted.
We are still getting our usual supply of Paints, but it is
doubtful that this condition will continue since there are so
many ingredients that go into the making of GOOD PAINT
that are now getting scarce.
WHY NOT PAINT NOW WHEN YOU CAN
STILL GET REAL PAINT?
Come in and let us figure your bill. You’re invited to
COLOR FOR AMERICA: We have it on display, and e\
one who has seen it is impressed with its completeness
its beautiful color plans. We can arrange to loan this to;
for your own use.
We shall be expecting you soon.
