today, referring to the company’s
effort “even after we were in the
war” to protect Germany’s control
over synthetic rubber.
As a resuit of the cartel agrec-

. TRESSES OF GOLD
The saying of gentlemen preferr-
ing blondes holds true in the man-
ufacture of precision instruments
used in purposes of the various
weather detctions by thy army.
These instruments are carried into
the clouds in small balloons, into
the stratosphere to tell man of the
weather conditions. They need
blonde bair in the construction of
the device. This hair niust be 14]
inches in length and brings $2.50 |
an ounce since it was another one
of those items cut short by the war.
When the news was heard of the.
shortage, many a golden head was |
bowed for samples for the army's)
need. So many, in fact, that the
supply on hand was more than ad- |
equate. It was another case of too
many blondes.

BEFCRE IT COMES—
Army Day is officially celebrated
on April 6. With recent news of,
losses suffered by our Navy, stunn-
ing news in our struggle to conduct
a successful war, set backs and los-
ses of men, equipment and land,
Army Day will find us still stronger |
in our determination to fight on,
striving to preserve an America for
tomorrow. We are a wealthy na-
tion, onr resources total into the
many billions of dollars, our people
home owners, used to radios, autos,
telephones and movies. For these
too, we fight. Although we love
this democracy we also realize
there is much to be righted in its
operafion before we can be satis-
fied that it is an example of demo-
cracy. We have protection, hui we
have cheap politics, we have high
grade education and every kind of
worship but groan under high
taxes and spend money far too
carelessly. So before we officially
salute | the nation’s Army Day, let
us asskune responsibilities placed
on us by our Army and Navy and
Air Corps, to keep the wheels of
government controlled and running
smoothly, do our best to eliminate
graft, slackness, passing-the-buck,
spoils system and inutility, to build
for a better Army Day’ for 1943 and
1944 and 2043.

common type of these hombs—and
the most effective type—is light,
small and safe for an enemy to
handle. A single bombing plane
can carry 2,000 or more of them.
And ‘each of the bombs is capable
of starting a major fire.
The moral of this is clear:. One
of the first and most essential steps
to be taken in defense of this con-
tinent is to perfect our fire defense.
London and other English cities
would not exist today if their fire
fighting organizations, professional
and volunteer alike, had not pro-
duced miracles. Experts are con-
vinced that it is perfectly possible
for an enemy to reach and attack
centers
our principal industrial
from bases located in Europe and
the Far East,
Here, then, is a real civil defense
job. Relatively few American cit- |
ies and towns have sufficient fire- |
fighting equipment to deal with a
big attack.” Relatively few comy-
munities have as yet developed ad-
equate "fire prevention “and fire-
fighting forces. The improperly
prepared community is wide open
to tragedy and utter disaster.
There is no tinie to lose. In ev!
ery town, no matter how small,
fighting training should be given to
civilian ‘groups. Additional
ment should be purchased as fast
as possible. German fire raids on
English cities have slowed to a
standstill for just one reason: The
British have learned to cope with
them and rob them of their terrors.
An enemy does not waste materials
and energy when it becomes obvi-
ous that the results obtained arc
not worth the price paid.
‘Short, fire—mwhether it comes
from within or without—can be
licked. Ii need hold no terrors for
an informed, prepared, equipped
people. Let's get ready!

LOCK UP, IT'S EASTER
Sacrificing one’s life for a cause
is not confined to today’s appalling
display of savage passion, interna-
tional vielence and fraud. This
present world bears a similarity to
a world of over 1900 years ago
when a life was freely offered that
man might forever after live in
brotherhood by love and under-
standing. This man chose to die
that we might live, who had suffer-
ed racial hatreds, social and relig-
ious bigotry the same as is being
suffered today, saw tyranny ram-
pant and Christianity rejected.
Teaching kindness and gentleness
in this world of 1942, were He to
walk abroad, would probably find
him rebuked as those centuries
ago. And so you ask, what has He
gained, did His death upon the
cross achieve nothing, fail to prove
there is a resurrection and triumph
of life after death, a denial that if
a man die shall he live again?’
The underlying power of Easter
is in its spirituality, and this force
has ripened and borne fruit through
the years, offering freedom for
man’s mind and his soul. The
promise of life everlasting or im- =—
mortality, is signified in the death
of our garden's flowers in the au-
tumn time and their revival to
bloom in the Spring. This is your
Easter spirit in spite of the skeptics,
Christ died, He lives again so as the
symbolical lily at Eastertide.

yesterdays, his today and tomor-

such faith is to be found in most

funds.
The members maintain that na-
tional defénse is made up of three
all-important factors — physical,
moral and spiritual. And that the
spiritual factor is equally as impor-
tant as the other two.
Back in 1940 Ms. Charles B.
Long, founder of the movement,
realized that a power greater than
guns and munitions was vitally
necessary to preserve Democracy.
It was as though an unseen hand
had suddenly written a blazing
statement in the sky-—-that D2moc-
racy NEEDS spiritual thought,
With this vision as a background
she spoke to other women who
saw, too, the need for action and
with her,” formed a committee to
further the idea.
Later she was .successful in hav-
ing a minute of prayer introduced
in the U, 8. Senate by Senator
James J. Davis, who expressed
himself as theroughly in accord
with the movement.
“Although Spiritual Rearmanient
isn't a‘ new theme, its need today
is greater? than ever before,” said
Mrs. Long. “Our most difficult
task is getting people to under-
a that it isn’t a new religion.
It's simply a non-sectarian move-
ment designed to help all Ameri-
cans and humanity in general, to
remind them during this war crisis
of the importance of “spiritual con-
fidenice” and to urge them to go to
church. There's an urgent need
today for spiritual thinking. It’s
not only our spiritual duty, regard- |
less of church or denomination—
it's our patriotic duty.’
“Assuming and admitting that
ALL true Americans already hava
spiritual armament, what America
needs right now is spiritual RE-
armament to cope with the gigantic
task confronting her, RE--arma-
ment should immediately be made
a part of everybody's share of our
country’s defense program.”
Committee members point out
that the downfall of democracy is
money-worship because democracy
was founded on spiritual things.
If you don’t feed them they die.
