It will mark the formal end to state of war which has existed between the two since July 7, 1937. But, since the actual shooting stopped on Aug. 5, 1945. it is more important today because it is another American victory over Communism. Actually, any pact with the Chinese Nationalists is more symbolic than real and must remain 50 as long as the Chiang Kai Shek government remains bottled up on tiny Formosa while the great body of the Chinese mainland stays in the hands of the Reds.

Women's Club Sponsors March of Dimes Benefit UNION--The Junior Women's club met at the club house Thursday, Mrs. V. S. Ellsworth, presiding. Several members were reported as ill.

Future Home-Makers Birthday Party at School UNION- The FHA girls of Union high school held a Home Ec birthday party Friday evening, in the Home Ec room.

Hagey. New Square Dancing Club Has Been Organized But the pact is a blow at the prestige of the Reds, both in China and Russia, and is an indication of the high regard held by the Japanese for the United States. It is also a practical application a of that high record. Japan, stripped of all her possessions outside the home islands and of her war potential, knows she would be a "sitting duck" for Russia should the United States withdraw its military and economic support. Russia would like nothing better than to rush into the vacuum created by any such U.S.

withdrawal. So, even though the Chinese mainland is her natural trading area, Japan has elected to go ahead and sign with the Nationalists. There is at least one other rea son for the Japanese action which puts her inevitably at the side of the United States. The realistic Japanese have a high regard for any nation able to conquer them militarily and they were genuinely amazed at the sympathy and understanding shown them during the occupation under Gen. Douglas MacArthur and his successor Gen Matthew B.

Ridg. way. They were unimpressed either by Russian tirades or expressions of "sympathy" for the state of affairs which saw Japanese prosperity rise under the occupation to its highest level since Japan's invasion of China. Instead, the Japanese still want to know what happened to more than 300.000 Japanese prisoners taken by the Russians at end of the last war and still unaccounted for. Business Calls Hess From S.F.

The most obvious brush-off of a hotly controversial issue in a cam- year was of the President's paign plan for compulsory medical insurance. That one seems to have been taken out of the campaign altogether by the President's appointment of a commission to explore the whole matter. The political experts figure that maybe Mr. Truman is getting some hurdles out of the path of the Democrat who runs this year for President.

And we came up with more might, more miles, from gas-right out of thin air, in more ways than one. When you talk about "miles per gallon" you think of fuel, because that's what you buy. But air's free- and for every gallon of gasoline, a busy engine can gulp more than 8,000 gallons of air. The problem is to deliver air in the right proportions, throughout the full range of speeds at which you drive. A carburetor-big enough to supply the air stop-and-go driving.
