All over the city the members of households gathered at their radios at 8 o'clock for the offi cial statement of the United States government that came in the radio address to the nation by President Harry S. Truman. President Truman gave to the people the message that this phase of the world war was at an end, reminding all that the nation must still battle with the Japanese foe in the Pacific, the last of the Axis powers. With the address of the presi dent on the air, the siren atop the city hall was opened by Chief of Police Noah Parker to sound to the residents the fact that V-E Day was here at hand. In compliance with the plans of the local American Legion post the business houses of the city, tvhere possible, at once closed their doors for the day, restaur ants only remaining open to serve the war workers and others de pendent on their services. The flags were placed in the street stands to wave in triumph in recognition of another great page in the history of the United States. While in many homes the mes sage found the sorrow that had come in the past ele'en months since the United States had start ed their invasion of Europe. The toll has been heavy and those who sleep have given their all to make possible this hour of triumph for the allies.

Taenz ler who said that in contrast to Europe we in America "prize the freedom of the individual as the only thing worth .fighting for." Rev. Taenzler also pointed out the fact that the price of main taining a world peace would be much less expensive in lives and money and incidentally more worth while than the cost of fighting world war III. A prayer for Divine guidance was given by the Rev. E. J. Mor itz. After the colors were taken from the stage by the color guard, Frank Cloidt led the audience in singing "Blest Be The T ieThat Binds." As they sang, the people filed quietly out of the auditor ium.
