Weather Forecast Typically Spring As Wind Blows
Spring—a delightful time of the year — when wool comforters are pulled off beds and deposited on fire escapes and front lawns for the inevitable sunburn, the premature freckles.
According to predictions offered by the weatherman, Dandelion Day may again be in the offing. Continued mild weather, occasionally cloudy, but no rain, promise to keep up the unsteady tempo of spring weather.
And spring, also being indecisive, alternating between hot and cold, is the season of "fries," picnics, and all other forms of entertainment synonymous with the great outdoors.
Graduate Sells Marionettes As a Business
Hazelle's marionettes accidentally made money!
Thirteen years ago Hazelle Hedges, now Mrs. Hazelle H. Rollins, was graduated from the School of Fine Arts. She instructed in marionette making at the William Rockkill Nelson Art Gallery for a season and later studied marionettes with Tony Sarga in New York.
Characters were made for friends who requested them and when friends suggested she show the samples at the National Toy Fair in New York, she did so. So many orders were received that she found she was in the manufacturing business with no factory and no employees.
That was ten years ago. Today Hazelle's marionettes, which she made to represent fairy tale characters, are shipped all over the United States. If it weren't for the war, her business would thrive throughout Europe also.

Already he has appeared as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia, Detroit, Denver Civic, Harrisburg, Atlanta and National Symphony orchestras. As soloist he has played on the Ford Sunday Evening hour, Kraft Radio hour, and at the Ann Arbor and Worcester festivals.
Young concert artists who have performed in other years for the Annual recitals are:

Argentina Declares War; Peace Rumor Unfounded
(International News Service)
With General Eisenhower flatly stating that the German army is a "whipped army" Russian troops breaking through Danzig, and Argentina declaring war on the Axis powers, the world today witnessed the greatest military debacle of all times.
Three New Courses Offered in Wichita
Collapse of all organized enemy resistance in western Germany became an imminent possibility with unimpeded American and British advances deep into the heart of the crumbling
Three new extension courses in personnel management will be offered in Wichita beginning in April according to Guy V. Keeler, of the extension division.

Ickes Says Independence For Philippines Harmful
Washington—Secretary Ickes said tonight that the United States should "give the Philippines whatever it wants," but expressed the view that independence now would be harmful.
"We want to aid the Philippines, whose loyalty to the United States during the war has been above any possible question," the interior secretary said.
"But I fear that the war has made inroads into its economy, its people and its government, too severe to permit a complete break with the United States at this time.
"I believe that a high commissioner should be sent to the islands as soon as possible."
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's third army tanks now are 100 miles from the border of Czechoslovakia, an N.B. C correspondent in Paris reported.
Main Defense Line Broken
General Eisenhower told a special news conference that Germany's main defense line on the western front has been definitely broken. Unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, he added, will be imposed and not negotiated. One quarter of a million Germans had been captured west of the Rhine, the Allied commander-in-chief said.
As Eisenhower spoke, seven separate Allied armies in overwhelming strength were swarming east through the heart of Germany from the Holland-German border of the north, through the Ruhr valley and deep into Bavaria on the western front while on the east mighty Red army forces were plunging toward Vienna on their southern flank and viping out remaining Nazi resistance on the Baltic flank.
Supreme headquarters confirmed a 33-mile dash by the U.S. first army, plunging to the East and a spokesman predicted an early breakthrough in the 21st army group area to the north.
Third Army Near Czech Border
Meanwhile, the White House made public the official text of an order by President Roosevelt directing American ambassadors and ministers to remain at their posts.
Dispatches from the third Ukrainian army front said that the Austrian border zone was already within the sound of Russian heavy guns. Argentina Joins War
The news that Argentina had declared war on the Axis powers came from Buenos Aires.
(News of the order caused a wide flurry of rumors that Germany had surrendered.)
Presidential Secretary Jonathan Daniels said the President had sent a memorandum to the secretary of state and members of the cabinet pointing out the importance of all chiefs of mission (ambassadors, ministers, etc.) remaining at their posts during this critical time and a similar message to members of the cabinet agreeing, as he felt, they should stay at their posts.
