"CONQUEST OF CORN
we go back to the days when corn
y was the main dish of our Pil-
grim forefathers, as they struggled
to keep their bodies whole in their
attempt to obtain freedom for
their souls. They didn’t call those
early. ears of corn by such names as
Evergreen or Golden Bantum per-
haps, nor realize that they were
savoring vitamin A when they ate
of the tasty dish. There is the corn
meal that we prepare for the table,
3 in our southlands which
was a favorite with the Indians, who
; by the way, should have the credit
for instructing the Pilgrims how to
plant corn and how to use it. What

GOLDENROD
In this our native land, we have
names for every sort of special
week, chservances for every sort of
special occasion, holidays to the
right and left of us, anniversaries
for all the alphabet, state songs,
state flowers, slogans for all causes,
scheol colors and mottoes for every
| instance, but we have no national
flower. Of course this is not neces-
sary, but the way we do things in
our country, it is rather surprising
that somebody hasn't made scme
kind of a campaign or national
| drive popular in order to put this
across a long time ago! Something
tells us that if .we were put to a
vote as to the flower most decided-
ly American, the choice would be
the goldenrod, a typically American
bleom, having 125 species of , flower
in’ the
union. :
The goldenrod is generally sup-
pdsed to be classed as a flower of
autumn but there are many locali-
ties where it comes in early May.
Eut the bloom is found to be most
numerous in a large number of the
states during the fall season. It
grows in neglected fields, in gar-
dens mixed with glorious blosscins
of cultivated and care. It spreads
through Iowlands and brings it
golden yellow into the highlands.
It lzsts for a long time and adds to
the bezuty of fall with the bright
and rusty oaks. When other
: Spots s shew the mark of cold wea-
. | ther ahead, there still stands the
goldenrod midst asters and petun-
ias. Yes, it is truly the American
flower—it too can ‘take it’.

Some of the most effective criti-
cism of the government in its hand-
Iing of the war cffort has been bas-
ed on the theciry that there has
been a definite and lamentable lack
of frankness in telling the people
what is going on. Many officials,
this argument runs, seem to regard
the people as children, from whom
unpleasant truths must be kept,
One of the most common sayings
in Washington circles today is that
“the peciple aren't awake.” The
defenders of the people are more
completely awake than a good
many of the bigwigs in govern-
ment—and that the extent of popu-
lzr bewilderment as to the course
of the war is directly attributable
to a stupid kind of censorship.
In the newspaper fraternity, a
peak of disgust was reached during
the long drawn out trial of eight
Nazi saboteurs. The high Army
officers who made up the trial
court seemed to work on the prin-
ciple that the people should be told
absclutely nothing. Not until the
stremgest kind of pressure was
brought to bear were newspaper-
men even permitled to view the
trial chamber. And even then they
were allowed in for only a few
minutes—and the presiding Gener-
al stopped all proceedings until
they had left.
That is simply one example out
of many that could be cited. There
has been much criticism what some
authorities regard as the refusal of
the Navy to tell the whele truth
about Dutch Harbor and the oc-
cupation of certain Aleutian Is-
lands. And lately, a San Francisco
Judge brought serious charges
against the ranking Army General
in the Far West. Defenders of this
General say that, in truth, he has
done a first-class job, and they have
much evidence to substantiate that.
But again, as Time phrased it, “The
trduble seemed to lie in tne Amy's
“tell the people nothing attitude”.

Army and Navy authorities. = Time
and time again, various non-mili-
tary officials of the government
have made completely conflicting
statements about the same subject
—as, for instance, in news releases
on the oil, rubber and automobile
prcblems. Under those circum-
stances, it's no wonder that a very
is lost in a welter of ccnfusion.
The main hope for ironing out
this unforunate business lies in El-
mer Davis, the cool and canny
head of the Office of War Informa-
tion. Mr. Davis, it will be recalled,
was given his appointment some’
months ago after the other govern-
mental .information bureaus had
made an almost complete failure of
great deal of headway.
to reliable veports, he is working
stubbeinly, and is determined that
cventually the American people
shall be promptly and truthfully
told everything it is possible to tell
them. He is said to have the con-
fidence of the President, and he
isn’t frightened by either the mili-
tary or civil brass hats.
In the meantime, Mr. Davis’ OWI
is apparently doing the best job
possible under the circumstances.
On August 8, it issued a statement
on the war situation which is
hearteningly different from the us-
ual Federal publicity releases. The
statement is not optimis-
tic. Tt isn’t full of high-sounding
phrases. Instead, it is simple, fac-
iual and impressive. It points out
that so far our Allies have done
most of the fighting, and that this
state of affairs can’t continue in-
definitely. On the subject of pro-
duction, it say that “we have done
pretty well, but ndt well enough.”
It observes frankly that “we could
lose this war”—and that ‘it’s going
to take an infinitely greater effort
than we have so far made to win

Pitcairn Tsland Gets
Tons of Unwanted Food
SAN FRANCISCO. — Some one
sent 27 tons of food to Pitcairn is-
land, but it left the islanders some-
what bewildered. In the first place
they were not starving. In ‘the sec-
ond place the ¢argo was seit collect.
The story was told in a fetter re-
ceived here by Mrs. Kethryn Green-
wood from Miss Lucy Christian, a
direct descendant of Fletcher Chris-
tian, leader of the mutiny on the
Bounty.
The food arrived on a freighter
from Fiji, Miss Christian related.
The islanders spent an entire day
taking the food by small boat from
the ship to shore, a distance of 2%
miles,
When all was ashore, the captain
presented his bill. Pitcairn’s resi-
dents couldn’t pay, so they placed
the food in storage. Much of it will
spoil. Included were 200 sacks of
wheat, which cannot be kept long |;
in. the muggy climate. There was
almost no sweetstuff, which the is-
landers want most.
