Ow Country Right or Wrong SEEING IS BELIEVING General Patton has chosen, the most effec- tive means of showing German civilians the evidence of their nation's atrocities. In com- pelling civilians, to visit Nazi prison camps arid see for themselves the results of Hitler- ism, he has adopted a technique which even the German mind, long closed against the truth, can understand. Seeing is believing. Patton's method of acquainting German civilians with 'the truth about themselves could be followed profitably by the com- manders of all Allied' forces in the Reich. Ly- ing ahead is the tremendous task of re-edu- cating a whole people, and the sooner and more directly we go about it, the sooner the job will be completed. If they are left again to believe that their military forces were not' decisively beaten, that they fought in a just cause and that they are the oppressed rather than the oppressors, then the seeds of World War III will remain firmly rooted in German soil. I SittingJ ,ith the Lawmaker's By RUSSELL KAY Speaking before a group of tax- payers at a luncheon given, in his honor at Tallahassee last week, Governor Caldw6ll firmly reiter- ated his statement that nothing less than $14,000,000 of new reve- nue, or $28,000,000 for the next two years,, will bU required for state needs. Comptroller J.. M. Lee, who had previously stated' that the imposi- tion of new revenues might be avoided if governmental opera- tions were -reorganized and un- necessary commissions, 'boards ania bureaus eliminated, spoke brieny following the, governor's address, but took no issue with the chier executive's statements.

II1]1 1 1] 1 11 The 9th and 11th grades met in a softball tilt last Friday evening with the 11th graders winning the close game by a 5 to 3 score. Botn teams put up a good fight. The high school has lost two games in a row in the City SoLt- ball League. Oh, well, those old men wouldn't play if they didn't get to win occasionally.

Personally, we think it will pr6o- ably be one of the greatest events in history, and Europe will be plenty scrambled, after the divid- ing is done, and! more so before it is started. We wonder what the United States is going to get ou't of this war? On Leave From Bainbridge, Ma. C.
