PAGE TWO TIS OUR TASK | ‘ BY RUTH TAYLOR. We have boasted like the Pharisee of old—"I thank Thee, Lord, that I| am not as other men”, have had a rude awakening in tne mob attacks and riots that have sprung up like poison weeds in various parts or the country. | We thought it couldn't happen here ~that we were too well balanced, too secure in our own freedoms for pre- judice and hatred to flare beyond the | bounds of talk. We underestimated the greatness of the tensions of war. We overestimated our own strength of character. We forgot how we had | permitted it to be sapped by group | thinking, stirred up by subtle propa- ganda, undermined by careless criti- | cism, poisoned by suspicion. Our faith in democracy is now be- | ing tested. We who have prated of] freedom have to decide whether we fear freedom for others. It makes no| difference whether the recent trou-| bles were the work of enemy sabot- | eurs, or of groups within our own | eountry. It makes no difference on whose side the mistakes were. If the | other side makes mistakes so do we. | And it is more important for us ©o | humbly acknowledge our own errors | than to spend our time criticizing | those of the other side. | We must apply democracy to all groups within our country if we are to get that democracy for ourselves. We. must champion the rights of all people to fair treatment if we expect | fair treatment for ourselves. We must | stand up for the rights of all, if there are to be rights for any. The responsibility, as always, lies wii the majority. There is no real minority problem—it is always the problem of the majority. This does not mean that the majority must eoddle the minority—far from it. But as the stronger power, the majority is charged with enforcing the laws which it has made, and with such fair and equal treatment to all mi- morities within its ranks, that there is no room for resentment from those minorites. | Ta serve own our best interests we | must follow the course of right. There | iis nothing that can endure that is | Built on unfair treatment. And the | remedy for what has happened be- | ging in and with ourselves. We must | set a seal upon our own lips, we must | watch our own actions—that none of | the hatreds of the world we are fight- img be permitted to devastate our ewn fair land of freedom. Not only | abroad must we defend the defense- | ¥ess. Not only abroad must we suc-| Bagged Five Zeros LIEUTENANT J. C.

UNION PRESS.-COURIER, ‘Bitsy’ Makes Supreme Sacrifice to Win War SOUTH BEND, IND.—‘Bitsy,” a pet White Rock hen owned by Mrs, Frank Boner of Mishawaka, 1s a martyr to the cry for in- creased food production. “Bitsy'’ laid a seven-ounce egg which measured 7'2 inches around the center and 9% inches the other way.

Mrs. Mathilde Wertheitner survived 22 months in the filth and horror that is one of the deadliest concentration camps in Europe—Gurs in the Pyrences. The years of her life, 97 to 99, she will remember there. “When she first came here last July she begged for a slice of bread that she could break up herself,” ex- plained her daughter, Mrs. Berthe Schwab, with whom she lives. ‘In the camp they gave her such a small piece.” She is a tiny woman with a large sense of humor. She speaks no English. But her eyes speak for her. They twinkle and look just a bit exasperated when conversation is conducted in Eng- lish and sie cannot understand. She catches odd words and phrases. Her daughter said she immediately picked up the oft-repeated “I don’t like it” and demanded to know what it means. One can understand Low she with- stood Nazi-imposed hardships. She never wants to go to bed before midnight. She refuses to use the wheelchair her son-in-law bought for her. She walks, instead, along the Hudson or goes window-shopping. Mrs. Wertheimer, who lost her husband 20 years ago, arrived here with two daughters, Rose and Sophie, who also had been confined to the camp, by way of Casablanca.

How It Tarned Out for Mother of Yank Soldier KANSAS CITY.—Four times Mrs. see her son in a Guadalcanal news- Four times she fainted just before She tried a fifth theater last night, ‘and this time my heart went to my throat—but stopped there,” she said. “I saw him.” On the first four tries, “things just seemed to go black before Melven Lee appeared.” How long was her 17-year-old boy on the screen? “Oh, it seemed like about one 65th of a second. They were marching up a gangplank into a ship. He smiled into the camera just like he used to smile at home. “He stopped and rubbed the end of his rifle—the handle, or whatever you call it.” Her voice still tremulous with ex- citement, she said she had felt “sort of silly,” waiting for #her fifth at- tempt to view the newsreel. Will she see it again, now that she’s cured? “I'm going to see it every time it’s run in Kansas City.” CHARLOTTE, N.
