Beacon-Herald. U. S. TAKES OVER The American flag that flew over the Capitol in Washington on the day of Pearl Harbor last week flew over Tokyo, says the New York Times*. It was the flag that was flown over Rome July 4, 1944, and over Berlin July 20, 1945. It had been selected by President Roosevelt as the symbol of America's triumph over her enemies. With the dramatic ceremony of its raising over the burned-out ruins of this last Axis capital its mission was fulfilled. The event was the highlight of the formal occupation of Tokyo by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander for the Allies, Koala bears are nocturnal animals, and spend the daytime dozing or sleeping. EASE MUSCULAR PAIN THIS WAY- f Instantine Tablet brings FAST RELIEF!

Feel that it's unfair to have only about two pounds of meat a week? Take a look at what five key European countries have to get by on: FRANCE: a thin slice of meat a week, equal to one-tenth of a pound. Meat in restaurants only on Sundays and legal holidays. Meat consumption in Paris down from 117,000 tons to 5000 tons. Starvation bringing disease in its wake. Children especially suffer-ing;_infant mortality rate up 50 BELGIUM: One meat meal during the week. Nine-tenths of Belgium's chickens have disappeared. There is no fodder for cattle and all slaughtering has been stopped until the herds can. somehow be built up. Belgians have to rely on what meat they can buy abroad. HOLLAND: most meals built around sugar beets. Horsemeat, when it can be obtained, is $20 a pound. Mercy convoys from Britain doing their best to provide Dutch children with soup. GREECE: there is absolutely no fresh meat for rations. All the pigs have disappeared and practically all the dairy cows. One and a half million people* are living in caves, scarcely keeping themselves alive. One million people have malaria. YUGOSLAVIA: livestock population wiped out. A shipload of sheep from abroad had to be unloaded by the crew; the Yugoslav men were too weak from starvation to work. People who are strong enough are bringing small quantities of grain in on their backs from hundreds of miles away. There simply isn't any food. Churchill Wielded Too Much Power? One reason given for the defeat of Winston Churchill is that the former Prime Minister had acquired too much personal power through his leadership In the war, comments the Windsor Star. It is a trait of the English people that they dislike seeing anyone approach the position of a dictator. Although Mr. Churchill may neither have wished to be nor was a dictator, there is no doubt about the great power he wielded. In war the people followed his leadership, but once the crisis against Germany had ended, the people decided it was time to end such power being in the hands of any individual, even Mr. Churchill's. There were so many factors in the recent election in Britain, it is idle to single out any special one. But, it is always interesting to review some of the opinions. Too Smart To Live This atom smashing business prompts the thought that the world is getting too smart. Some creatures of the past became extinct because they were too dumb to live. Now there's the danger that mankind may become extinct because it is too smart to live. -- Kitchener Record. Lydia E.

Lights Go Out Again In London Britain, which happily welcomed sparkling lights when Germany was defeated, now watches the blackout creep back. Darkened streets are part of the austerity program the British people have been told they must expect to continue in greater or less degree for perhaps two years. After the splurge of bright lights in celebration of peace, shortages of electrical power and gas have made -- in the opinion of the government -- conservation essential. And so, in London, the lights are going out at midnight in various areas, with street lights turned on at dusk and off at midnight. There will be half-lighting on by-roads, with only every other street-lamp lighted. Other large cities are following-the same procedure, amid complaints from residents who had hoped for a speedier return to prewar conditions. "It looks as though we had better make up our minds to it that the days of rejoicing faded with the VJ celebrations; everything, from cigarets to clothes, will soon be in shorter supply than ever and darkness will presently . become the only completely * unrationed commodity," said the Manchester Guardian on the conservation program.

"The Japanese," it says, "are essentially a kindly-hearted, laughter-loving people, taking life easily and not allowing its petty ills unnecessarily to disturb their equanimity." -- Ottawa Citizen. Japan Must Pay For Ghastly Crime One of the most tragic photographs to come out of the war was found in the pockets of a dead Jap, says The Ottawa Journal. It showed a blindfolded white officer kneeling in front of ranks of grinning Japs, in front of him a Jap officer with the sword of decapitation poised for the fatal blow. Now it is announced the officer was Lieut. William Newton, V.C. of Australia, beheaded by the Japs in New Guinea in 1943 -- one of the most ghastly crimes of the war, and one for which certainly Japan must pay.
