Tenth Annual Term For Baron DeKalb The tentn annual commencement of the Huron DoKalb high school wus held lust Monday eveuluK. Juno 3, with the fifteen members of the graduating class entirely In charge of the program. The theme of the program was the commemoration of the school's docouulul. The class, with each member contributing a phase o( the history of tho school, traced tts development from the time that It was only an Idea In the minds of a few people to the present when It Is recognized as one of the most modern and progressive rural consolidated schools In the state. An Impressive fact brought out In the progress was that whereus eleven years ago there were approximately twelve pupils within the present school area who were attending school beyond the eldmentary level, there were this year, from the same area, one hundred and forty-six pupils enrolled in the secondary department of the school. Further facts showed too that attendance upon school had not been an ultimate objectlvo within Itself. Actual statistics Indicated that, while the school can not yet boast of any state or national celebrities, 11 can point with pride to the high percentage of Its former pupils who are now profitably employed. Other class members emphasized that In the future as In the past It would be tho policy of the school to pattern Its activities and developments after the needs of the Baron I>eKalb community rather than wander In blank Imitation of larger and different type of school systems. Duo tribute was paid to those who contributed to the upbuilding of the school. Platform guests were the present board of trustees?K. C. Etters, P. A. McDowell, F. N. Gay, H. L. Smyrl, J. W. Sowoll, S. C. Truesdale and It. II. Young; 8. \Y. Hornaby, a board member at the time of the school's consolidation in 1930; Mrs. Kathleen B. Watts, county superlntend^nt of education; and James H.

Under the decree. all enemy alien women between the ages of 16 and 60 will be Interned. It was explained that the women can, if they wish, take children under 16 with them. WILL OIL 8HORTAOK BtAT HIM? It is almost Impossible to predict with any probability of accuracy thp developments which may occur In I1*? war now raging In Europe. While Hitler's war machine, probably the greatest lu the history of the world, rides to surplalng successes on the wheels of his mechanised units, the general conclusion of observers Is that Der Fuehrer Is gambling everything on an early victory over the Allied nations. For example, tako the question of oil. There have been many attempts to estimate the quautlty of oil that Germany had stored for the present blitzkrieg / We have read several Interesting articles during the past year discussing the oil situation in Ger. many, and most of them conclude , that It is the Achilles heel of the German war maclue. During the world war, Germany was reduced to the use of substitutes i for lubrication. In the present strug' gle, the Allied blockade Is as tight as ! ever and there is every reason to believe that a shortage of oil will crip' pie the German war machine much ' Quicker than It did in the first world war. Certainly, the Nazi bltzkrleg Is based upon prodigious use of trucks, pianos and tanks. They require oil 1 to operute and the consumption of the precious fluid in the campaign In 1 Northern France and Belgium is maI ny times as grout as It was in the I warfare of 1H14-18. Along this line, H. B. Ellison, writing In the Christian Science Monitor, reviews the German oil supply. He estimates German yearly production, Including Roland, together with Imports from Rumania and Russia, at about 4.500,000 tons a year. In preparing for the war, Germany accumulated o!l along with other raw materials and he estimates that these stocks J amounted to about 3,000,000 tons. The I loot In the low-countries might total another 1,000,000 tons. This would give Germany about 8,500,000 tons when the blitzkrieg began. A conservative estimate of consumption by the German war machine engaged in widespread activity such as that now going on, is at least 12,000.000 a year. This leads M. Ellison to the conclusion that If the Germans blitz stroke does not bring the Allies to their knees in a matter of weeks, the Germans will face a shortage of oil that will stall their war machine and pave the way for an early victory for the Allies. This is an Interesting conclusion, particularly comforting in view of the significant advances made by Germany In the first two weeks of the blltzkrleg. Whether the figures are accurate, or the conclusions correct, remains to be seen. Certainly, they lead us to believe that unless Herr Hitler can win his war this year, he Is not apt to win it at all.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Army headquarters at Fort Bennlng.
