Miss Blank was permitted to

the purpose of finding a basis
jor peace negotiations through

and The Vatiean.
On April 20, 1845, Ribbentrop
4lso notified Hiiler that he
wanted to undertake peace nego=
tiations, she. ‘said, but Hitler
would “sanction negotiationg only
if military successes were pres=-
€nt. .
The defense then summoned
Paul Otto Schmidt, Mitler’s offi
cial interpreter, to testify.
Schmidt said Hitler and all
top Nazis were “surprised and
greatly depressed” at Britain’s
declaration in‘support of Poland
at ine start of:the war, ‘
Ribbentrop and the entire for
eign office ~were “completely
curprised.” he added, at the Jap

“All of these thingg and many
others can be procured for Ath

folks, realize that it's your
lealth and the heaitk of your
familieg involved. Disease doesn’t
recognize city and county line;
8¢ health of the community is
ihe health of all. Disease walks
into your cases and restaurants,
{inger< the knives and forks you
use, lips the glassware and spits
on the floor. You've got to do
something about it, something
more about it.

done this. Don’t let tie Classic

rest of the world. At the conclus
ion of his talk he made a motion
that the assembled group recom
mend, to the Secretary of Agricu'-
ture that all grains used in the
manufacture of beer and whiskey
be diverted to food instead. This
motion was seconded and unani
mously carried.
Tony Galis, a naturalized citi
zen who came to this country
from Greece, was introduced
next. Mr. Galis told how he had
sent money ot his sister in‘Greece
after the Germans had been
forced out of Greece and that the
money came back,. so that he
thought his sister and other rel
atives were all dead. Shortly after
the meney came back he had a
letter from his sister saying that
she returned the money because
there was nothing in Greece to
buy. She wrote that many nights
she put her children to bed cry
ing for food and she had nothing
to give them. Food, clothing and
medicines were beginning to
come in, brought by the Ameri
can Red Cross and without them
her children would surely have
died.. He also told something of
the brave stand of the Greeks
against the Germans in the early
days of the war and the unceas
ing guerrilla warfare they care
ried on even after they were
supposedly defeated and con
quered by the Germans. He re
minded Americans that without
the efforts of the Greeks, the
Chinese, and the Filipinos, among
others, America itself might have
been invaded while, we were
sti]l making preparations and not
ready to fight.
Cites Production
Mr. Branyon thén called on
Chairman Brown of the Clarke
County USDA Council for a few
words. Mr. Brown remarked that‘
America had been wonderfuily
blessed during the war years m]
the crops she produced — that
weather conditions were ideal and
produetion in all lines soared. He
said.it seemed to him that the !
Lord used the fields of America
to prepare for the famine He
knew followed war and that He
would be greatly displeased with
us if we did not share our boun
tiful supplies with _the straving |
people of the world. |
W. R. Coile, county school sup
erintendent and Baptist minister,
spoke on the opportunity which®
America muffed after the first
World War to lead the world. He
said he hoped we would not miss
our opporunities a second time,
for he doubted we would be given
a third chance. He also announ
ced plans for coilection of canned
food to be sent to the countries
in need of it.
Short talks and suggestions
were made by others attending
thé meeting. _ ‘
Dr. - Witkinson = made a motion
that by suitable publicity, indi
vidual and group effort, the peo
ple of Clarke county be encour
aged to reach the goal set for
them and that the grou;z recom
mend acceptance of that goal.
This motion was seconded by Wo
