Third Wartime Christmas
For the third consecutive year the Amer
ican people will be face:l with a wartime
Christmas. Millions of men again will spend
December 25th in cold foxholes on distant
battlefronts.
World War II has changed many things
in three years. Even the color scheme has
gone hay Wire. Red and green at one time
predominated during the "joyous season."
However, red blood on white snow is now
the most common color combination.
Someone once said, "War is Hell." He too
must have seen men die, women suffer, and
children starve. The atrocities that are be
ing committed dre not new, but they are
worse than ever before.
(Ordinarily the American people say
"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"
When they meet their friends on the street.
But what will they do this year ... especial
ly since their friends no longer walk the
streets? —VJD

STATE COLLEGE. PA.
A Lean And Hungry Look
Once upon a- time there was a great college sit
uated at the very geographic center of the great
commonwealth of which it was a part. The college
devoted itself to teaching philosophy and morals
as well as the physical sciences of chemistry,
botany, sex, and baseball. Employed to perform
the fascinating task of imparting knowledge to
the very young were a group of men known as
professors (from the Latin, professoria, meaning
"he who instructs after the bell rings will get no
cvertime.")
Lie at the college was a peaceful thing, con
ducive to studying and gentle reflections about
the finer things in life. And so it came to pass that
mcst of the professors were satisfied with their
lives devoted to knowledge, and apart from the
scandal that would ensue whenever a professor
wculd run away with a colleague's blonde young
wife there was little dissention or violent change
at the college.
But there were two young instructors in so
ciology, a science pointing out the folly of robbing
banks when one can, become a stockbroker, who
did not like things as they were. One was named
Fedor and called Feddie by his close acquaintanc
es and his friend was named Dr. Watson.
One evening Feddie and Dr. Watson were in
their sitting room consuming huge quantities of
Planters Punch and quoting the parables of Sig
mund Freud when they decided that the trouble
with the modern techniqUe of seeking knowledge
was that it had no in:nllible oracle to guide the
search. Man, they said, was too far removed from
nature to fully understand nature and its ways.
After a long discussion Feddie and Dr. Watson
determined to catch a rabbit and teach it how to
talk. In this way they hoped to gain an insight
into the secrets of Mother Nature. But catching a
rabbits had been committing suicide on Monday
few rabbits in the vicinity. For many years the
rabbits had' been committing suicide on Monday
mornings out of sheer boredom because it was
forbidden to attend the movies or to drink beer
on Sundays. As a result the remaining rabbits
were very tough, hardened by years of suffering.
Gaining the services of Sacha Vanderbilt, the
celebrated European rabbit hunter, the two young
sociologists were iinally able to catch & rabbit, a
magnificient but surly specimen. Dr.-Watson
mediately locked himself in a room with the beast
and started to teach , it to talk.
Years. Vent-by and no sound other than the .
good doetoi's, "I:4llc,•darri`n talk!" game: 'front
the room. Dr- Watson did;hot - knMA WH t ttlelab
bit would not say anything out of spite beCause
Feddle .walked around it saying, "Wabbit, I'm
gonna have you in a stew."
But one day Dr. Watson's' patience was rewar
ded and the rabbit began to talk. He rushed out of
the room and told Feddie who arranged for the
rabbit to address the faculty that very afternoon.
It was a gala occasion, the president of the' col ,
lege and all the members of the board of trustees
were there.
A hush fell over 'the huge auditoriuM as the
rabbit flanked by Fedor and Dr. Watson moun
ted the stage. After the president's introdUction all
hell broke locse. Cheering and shouting, the fac-'
ulty climbed on their chairs to see, as the rabbit
nonchalantly hopped up to the rostrum. Eyeing the
audience over the to of a carrot on which it was
nibbling, the rabbit waited until the great room
was silent. "Eh, What's up, Doc?" it said.
Little else remains to be told. Dr. Watson,
crushed by his defeat, took to hopping about on
all fours and 'nibbling at a carrot, and Fedor elop
ed to Bellefonte with the pretty young wife of
his dean. He lived a long and happy life there
working as a sorcerer's apprentice.
Since this is fable there must be a mural- in
it somewhere.- But I'll bedamded if I can find it.

more than pleasing so operations
were begun. It was an open house
for the navy with food, music,
and you guessed it—Girls! The

interesting, The Navy thanks you,
