The 12th annual sale of “Easter Seals” for the aid of crippled chil- dren got under way in Florida last week with the purchase of the first sheet of these gaily col- ored stamps by Governor Millard Caldwell. From now through April 7th, these seals will be on sale at various points and thousands are being mailed statewide by the Florida Association for Crippled Children and Adults, which is the state organization affiliated with the National Crippled Children’s Society. Officials point out that it is better to aid and rehabilitate these unfortunates to maintain themselves and lead a normal, useful life than to pay heavy taxes in the years to come for their care in state institutions. Looking At Washington (Continued from Page One) agencies exceed prospective sup- plies. Accordingly, some deeision is necessary in order to avoid chaotic conditions. What is the answer Certainly, our fighting men should get their full rations although every effort should be made to eliminate waste. Our fighting allies should have food for their fighting men} in generous supply, based upon} what we have available for our men and other factors. For foregin relief the nation| can afford some food but just how much is a debatable question.. We recall that many Italians, after) the occupation of part of their! land by Allied armies, were some- what critical of a failure to pro-| vide them with better rations.| The same sentiment, no doubt, ex-| ists in other areas. | doubt of the possibility of re-| ducing rations without endanger-| tet, be ‘ navig will sic Hour. be given Private Lioyd » suc-+ 9:00 p.m.—Doughnuts and Cof- coastal completion the process-, fee. he ante ing Keesler SATURDAY— tet 8:00 p.m.—Shelleraft Class.

GOUR CONTROL OF THE SEAS INSURES JAPANESEDEFEAT The prime factor in the defeat| of Japan is not the reoccupation | of the Philippines or other islands} in the Pacific, nor the re-con-| quest of China. It is the ever-ni- creasing control of the s that are now dominated by American sea and air power. So far as the eventual defeat of Japan is concerned, the occupa-} tion of the Philippines, the islands | or a part of China, is to the extent that the 2a claimed serve as bases for the of- fensive sweep of our aircraft and warships. Together they have cut} the vital lines of supply upon| which the existence of the Jap-} anese Empire depends. | Our mastery of the sealanes! has done much more than throttle} the Japanese in their home is-| lands. It has destroyed the Jap-! anese system of communications} and isolated hundreds of thou- sands of Japanese troops, scat- tered over an area of thousands of square miles.
