LONDON, Feb. 3. (LP)—President
; Roosevelt, Prime Minister Church-
ill and Premier Stalin were be-
lieved studying armistice terms for
Germany today at their "big three"
1 conference.
There were a number of signs
that the long-awaited meeting fin-!
ally had begun, with the approval
of terms for a defeated reich the
most urgent item on the agenda.
I Though official secrecy cloaked
the site of the meeting, uncon-
firmed reports placed it some-
where in southern Russia. A To
kyo broadcast, however, said the
three allied leaders were "re-
portedly" in session in Cairo.
The Japanese controlled Singa-
pore radio guessed the meeting was
being held at a "Romanian Black
sea port."
The Euronean advisory com-
mission was understood to have
drafted armistice terms for Ger-
many for final approval of Mr.
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.
Washington sources said the
terms were put in textual form
and initialed by the commission
some weeks ago. * —^—

We Can’t Dodge The Issue
The one duty that Sapulpa has ... in common with all
other self-respecting communities in the nation . . . is to
start building a condition that will measure up to the ghastly
sacrifices that our sons are making all over the world at this
moment.
We know that the essential services of education, hos-
pitalization, financial aid in establishing businesses or farms,
etc., will be handled by authorized divisions of government.
That is proper.
The one big function of civilians is to set about intelli-
gently to build, or create anew, a vital economy in business
and professional life that will offer opportunities to our re-
turning service men to again engage in the normal activities
of life. That means jobs at a decent salary and the right
to attain a measure of security.
I have read many letters of boys who express a deep-
ing Poland, Oreece and Yugo-
slavia.
The German press saw the
meeting as a prelude to an allied
propaganda rampaign to break
Germany's morale and hasten
her surrender. Scare headlines in
Berlin newspapers warned the
German people against listening
to surrender demands.
Adolf Hitler's newspaper Volk-
ischer Beobachter carried a banner

tic deceit Is planned," while the

Sapulpa must heed this vital longing. We must be alert
to see that our city grows and secures industries, expands
old ones or creates an economy around us in the surround-
ing countryside that will enable those dreams of our boys
to have a half-way chance of succeeding.
The creation of jobs means the creation of new or MORE
business.
To do that we have to lift the ceiling of our present
economic structure.

We need many new things in our city ... a commu-

JOINS HANDS EARNESTLY ... not a single business
in the city can mentally evade this joint responsibility. Nor
can it be served by a token gesture. No business is too
humble to ignore the future. No business is too small to
avoid the menace of a town that is "coasting. ’ No business
can afford to draw into a shell and "ride on the back of
his neighbors.”
Sapulpa needs a unity of thought . . . NOW.
Big events are in the making in this nation. Vital forces
are stirring. Destiny marches westward ... to the interior
