CIRCULATION OVER 7,000 COPIES EACH WEEK | Random Items LET THEM ALONE! There's been a lot of loose and ir- responsible talk about the plight of the poor ducks, down around the falls in Bellefonte, Officials went to Council and had $50 appropriated for duck food, Earlier a duck pen was made and placed on Gamble Island. The pen was carefully fenced in so young ducklings couldn't get out, On occasion, drakes have been spirited away for a time so they wouldn't kil] thelr young. Some of the ducklings were taken to ag hatch- ery for a while because it was feared the weather was too cold for them All this official dither has produced conclusive results—of a total of 17 ducklings born so far this spring, not a single one survives today, In for- mer years when the adult ducks were allowed to feed and care for their own families, there were one or two casualties out of each batch, but the old ducks’ record was far better than the awful one set this year by the town's official ducksters, So on be- half of at least ga score of persons who have asked us to do something about the duck situation, we're pleading with the well-meaning but poorly-trained human duck mothers of the town to quit worrying and let the ducks and ducklings alone.

The recent demand of Senator Chandler of Kentucky, that the United States use its forces against Japan is predicated upon the theory that, when Hitler is vanquished, this country will be abandoned by Brit- ain and Russia and left to fight a strongly intrenched Japan alone It should be pointed out for the record, that, so far, Russia has made no public pronouncement of any intention of joining in war Japan. Meanwhile, our supplies that Army fighting, serve our present war Russia program. The strategy of the Isolationists, aganst go to Russia, to Keep the Red purpose which justifies the aid-lo- regardless of what develops, is to attempt to persuade the people of this country that they can trust no other people in the world. The Isolationists even intimate that we can- not trust our leaders, who, they allege, are utterly unable to deal with the hard-boiled diplomats of other nations. It is hard to understand the psychology of Americans who main- tain in one breath that we can live a part from the world and, if neces- sary, beat the entire world, and, in the next, proclaim that we are utter- ly unable to take care of ourselves in any conference with other nations There is valid reason for the conclusion of Senator Scott Lucas, of Illinois, who declared: “I am willing to take my chances with Roosevelt when it comes to dealing with Churchill, Stalin or anybody else, There is nothing in the record to intimate that any foreign diplomat can out- trade MF Roosevelt.” MARINE APPEALS TO STRIKERS A United States Marine, who fought on Guadalcanal, recently at- tempted to convince a group of striking war workers in Cincinnati to re- turn to their jobs. The Marine wearing his uniform and decorated with service rib- bons, met with little success. The mep stopped work because ten work. ers were discharged. The Marine tried to tell the workers about the boys on Guadalcanal, and everywhere else, who go “through Hell under fire” and need the support of our industrial workers. It is time for responsible labor leaders to realize that the cause of labor is being seriously impaired by unauthorized and unjustified strikes that delay the production of war material, If labor officials cannot control their men, then it is obvioug that some other means of control must be adopted, It is impossible for labor unions to expect privilege and power control. unless they have responsibility and Still Hiking at 92 Boyd Henrie, aged 92, of Blooms- | pecting to make the return trip the to list y list a 8 line il oup of number: look at nd 1 : us who never ar 8 times formances pure magic CYCLERS: Homer P.
