PAGE SIX UNION PRESS-COURIER, Thursday, September 7, 1944 | R— ~ WE-TOO! By Ruth Taylor. It is a habit with the majority in speaking of the minority to com- ment on how careful they must be, to say, that like Caesar's wife they must always be above reproach, that each and every act must be watched, and that the individual must consider the effect of his actions upon group. That is plain horse sense— I've preached it myself. But sometimes 1 wonder if the ma- jority in this country ever realized that this applies to us as well—that we are but a minority in the world, both by race and nationality. It is us to us at all times to be good advertisements for democracy and the democratic way of life. We preach to the Europeans of the folly of their national and trade bar- riers, of the dividing lines between countries. But we don't see anything tragic, only humorous, in the story of the Boston gentlewoman who could not understand why there should be a fog in San Francisco when it was three thousand miles away from the ocean, We turn to the East and talk to the Asiatics of the Wonders of Dem- ocracy and of how they should con- duct their lives. But how well do we demonstrate the brotherhood of man- kind? How good is our own record? Both national and personal, are we entiresly guiltless. Every act of discrimination, every outbreak of intolerance, every one of the vituperative cat fights in whicn we indulge during political campai- gns is a black mark against democra- cy in the eyes of the world. Of course we know what we mean. We discount half our own talk. But the people of other nations take us at face value and ask—"Is that demo- cracy?” We are judged abroad—just as we judge our own minorities—by our actions and our speech as individuals. And as individuals we must bear wit- ness for the things in which we be- lieve. As we would be judged, so must we act. rrr ARMY CAN FIELD BALL TEAMS. The Army purchases annually en- ough baseball equipment to outfit 50,000 baseball teams and 100,000 soft ball teams; the Navy enough for more than 11,000 and 22,000 respec- tively, OWI reports. The army and navy buy up about 90 per cent of all sports and game equipment produced in the United States and, as a conse- quence, divilians can expect little or no increase for the present in the am- cunt left over for their use. Last year the services bought sports and game paraphernalia, devoted to the use of enlisted men, costing $38,000,- 000. Even so, total new supplies re- present approximately one baseball glove for every 17 men in the Army and for every 17 men in the Army or for every 28 in the Navy. BE LABORERS UNDEXRNOURISHED The food ration for Norwegians working in Nazia Slave Labor camps is so small the workers must have food sent to them from their homes, the Swedish newspaper, Stockholms- Tidningen says in an article reported to OWI. Attempts to get Norwegians to sign up for “harvest work” failed because all knew that meant working on military fortifications. Not one person signed up. —There is no let-up by the boys at the front, Buy bonds for them. Balsinger & Luther GREENHOUSES Flowers for All Occasions 59 Stores At 9 EBENSBURG, . .

Pilot Dies After ™ ¢= Saving His Crew Held Plane Up Long Enough For Men to Bail Out. A U. S. BOMBER BASE IN BRIT- how a wounded pilot, Lieut. William H. Johnson of Minneapolis, brought their flak-riddled Fortress back re- cently on one engine, held it aloft long enough for his companions to bail out, and then died in a flaming crash. Flak bursts tore great holes in the Fortress’ nose and also wounded Lieut. Harold S. Whitely, Limerick, Maine, co-pilot; Lieut. William S. Sancher, Walton, N. Y., navigator; and Lieut. George H. Nye, Comp- ton, Calif., bombardier, on an at- tack upon Augsburg, April 13. Sgt. Frank J. Hazzard, Chicago, top turret gunner, said that while he was bandaging Lieutenant Sancher’s leg, the navigator stood up and con- tinued to navigate the ship although he was in constant pain and weak from the loss of blood. “If it hadn’t been for the courage of the pilot and the navigator, we never would have made it,” Ser- geant Hazzard said. Numerous flak attacks knocked out two engines and then the third. The pilot ordered Sgt. Paul E. Simp- son, Delaware, Ohio, to get rid of his ball turret to lighten the ship. “I think I'm the champion turret remover of the Eighth air force,” the gunner said, ‘‘this made the fifth turret I've had to jettison since I started combat flying.” Losing 14,000 feet altitude, the Fortress struggled across the chan- nel at a mere 70 miles per hour. Over the British coast, the last en- gine caught fire, forcing the bomber down to 1,500 feet. “Let’s get out of here—this is it,” yelled Lieutenant Johnson, giving the order to bail out as flames spread over the shuddering plane. Those were his last words. Shot Down in Denmark, See Sights, Go to Sweden LONDON.—Two U. S. army air force bomber gunners who were shot down over Denmark were re- ported by the Daily Mail to have taken time out for a sightseeing tour in Copenhagen before escaping to Sweden via the Danish underground —and, like other tourists, they had their pictures taken. The London Daily Mail printed the pictures of the sergeants, Mans- field Hooper and James Valby. One showed them posed in Hoegero Square in Copenhagen and was cir- culated in the underground news- paper, Frie Danske, in defiance of the Gestapo, the Daily Mail said. A second photograph showed the two American airmen lounging in the gardens of the Royal library in neutral Stockholm after their es- cape. Both pictures were wirelessed to London. He’s Away Up the Creek On U. S. Army Directions WITH SECOND ARMY ON MANEUVERS, SOMEWHERE IN TENNESSEE.—Sgt. Dale Gillilan of Harrington, Mass., believes in the old chestnut about ‘too many cooks’ spoiling the broth. He stopped his jeep the other day to ask a road sentry directions on a map. Before he knew it eight volun- teers appeared from nowhere to add their two cents worth. Following their directions, Ser- geant Gillilan ended up at the dead end of a dry creek bed. He turned his jeep around to find a bull block- ing his path. Electric Shocks Curb Woman's Sneeze Attacks MEMPHIS.—A series of electrical shock treatments are being given Mrs. Albert Sanders of Jonesboro, Ark., in an effort to combat a sneez- ing attack. Attendants said the treatments give the patient 100 per cent relaxa- tion of nerves, muscles and all body functions. They said after the second treat- ment Mrs. Sanders was quiet for 22 hours. The 28-year-old matron was sneezing 15 times a minute when ad- mitted to the hospital with the rare malady.

VALUES IN PHILADELPHIA.—Benjamin Spi- gel Jr., 13, of Philadelphia, amazed attendants at Temple University hos- pital when he appeared alone for treatment after being accidentally shot in the leg by a companion.

He spied the open mouth of his seven-months-old brother, Jay, and popped them in. The baby gulped. The pennies dis- appeared. Jay was taken to a hospital and doctors retrieved the coins. PAPER SAVING STILL IS NO. 1 CIVILIAN PROBLEM “Because paper is still the No. 1 ci- vilian problem, every store manager of the A & P Tea Comapny has just signed an official War Production Board pledge to conserve paper and paper bags. The pledge will be dis- played in all of the stores of the com- pany to remind shoppers of the cri- tical paptr situation. “The needs of the military services for paper and paper products for ov- erseas operations are so great, that the remaining supply is not adequate to provide for the present rate of consumption by civilians,” said Don- ald H. Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board. Housewives all over the natiin are being urged by hundreds of thous- ands of grocery stores to cooperate in the conservation drice. “This means Mrs. America must bring her own shopping bag and ac- cept her purchases wrapped for pro- tection rather than for appearance,” said Mr. O. H. Weinert, General Su- perintendent of the Great Atlantic & Pacific, Tea Company, in this area. “We have pledged to make evry bag carry a full load and not to use a bag within a bag except when ab- solutely necessary,” he continued. “It is up to us—consumers and re- tailers—to lengthen the life of every bit of paper before it is salvaged. That means each housewife must bring back her paper bags for her own use—over and over again—until they wear out. Executrix’s Notice, In the Estate of Henry F.
