Let us pass over the unsoldierly feat- ures of the affair, which can hardly do less than weaken the prestige of the Uni- ted States in the Philippines. This is unfor- tunate but more important is the inquiry into the grievances of the soldiers who or- ganized the protest and partcipated in the parade. As weunderstand it the men, were peeved over the anqnouncement that their return to the United States would have to delayed because adequate replace- ments were not available to relieve them. This seems to be the truth, laregly due to the demoralized demand for the release of soldiers which arose on the home front after the war with Japan ended. Everybody is familiar with the hue and cry raised by famlies with men in the service. Immediate discharge was demand- ed, with the steady bombardment of Con- gressmen by impatient voters. The result was what might have ben expected. There was great pressure put upon the military leaders to get the men home, to demobilize the army and not to send soldiers overseas. It worked to the advantage of the men in the camps of this country and to the serious disadvantage of fighting men who were entitled to be relieved. When the War Department set up a point system to govern the discharge of men from service there was every reason to expect the orderly, and fair, discharge of men overseas who had borne the brunt of battle. The point score was set high enough toretain the men _ necessary to carry out our commitments abroad and to permit the return of veteran fighters. It seemed tous that the War Department scheme was fair and just and that it deser- ved the support of people who wanted to see the right thing done. There was great excitement on the home itront, however, as families figured out that the point system would mean con- tiued service for some service man who happened to be a little short of points, because of little or no overseas or batle service-credits. The interested rela- tives immediately began to work the old political pressure game and Congressmen, with an eye on the polls, began to lambast the military brass hats and what happen- ed was what you would naturally expect. The general result was that men wno have been overseas, with considerable bat- tle credit, have had to stay abroad be- cause no available replacements could be sent over to take their plcaes. This, in our opinion, is a rank injustice to the men who have fought the war. They should have been promptly sent home and they were entitled to believe that men in the camps of this country would be dispatched to their relief. 4 Even in concluding that men overseas, with points sufficient to entitle them to come home, have a just grievance we think it unfortunate that there is any publie, demonstrations, like that reported from Manila. It evidences a lowered mor- - ale, which may be somewhat _ inevitable after the fighting ends, but which never- theless is deplorable. to become be LET US HOPE SO | 3353 What about the public? That is the question, as Key Westers have heard re- peatedly over the radio the last few day: that some of the news commentators have been asking in connection with the meat packers’ strike. Former Mayor LaGuardia of New York and Gabriel Heatter have stressed that point more than any of the other commentators. While the strikers and the owners of meat-packing houses squabble over a cent or two difference in hourly wages, they apparently give little thought to the tens of millions of Americans who will be affected by the shortage in meats, and, should the ‘strike continue many days longer, will be faced with a meat famine. “Doesn’t this fact mean anything to the strikers and officials of the meat pack- ing houses? LaGuardia demanded. “Or are they entirely unconcerned about what may happen to the public?” The “ultimate consumer” is the one who is inconvenienced chiefly by strikes, and that is particularly true today when there are shortages in a hundred and one conveniences of life. The steel strike, for instances, means that delays will be caus- ed in producing many utensils. that are needed in homes. A little more forebearance, both by employe and employer, would avert a good many strikes, but the former declare that the latter’s demands are exorbitant, and the employe retorts that he must have higher wages to adjust himself to the high- er cost of living. However, as is usual, when strikes are at their worst, an agreement is reached almost suddenly, and that probably will be true of the meat-packing strike. Let us hope so. It is interesting, if nothing else, how those nations whom we are favoring in money and materials, give us the brush-off or the run-around. Now it is reported that the Chinese, of all nations, have signed a secret agreement with the Russians, giving them far more trade advantages than Am- ericans. Have the Russians given China ships, airplanes, munitions and money? If they did it came originally from the United States, because Russia has nothing to give, being a borrower herself. Or, is it because blood is thicker than water? AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US ALL The nation-wide fight against infan- tile paralysis depends very largely upon the contributions of people to the annual appeal for funds which culminates on Jan- uary 30th, the birthday of the late Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. The people of Monroe county will re- spond to this cause in generous fashion. They have been touched by the suffering of children, afflicted with infantile par- alysis and are anxious to make positive progress in the fight against the dread disease of childhood. It should be borne in mind that half of all contributions to the polio campaign rem Ut Hi the local community. The other half’ Will go to the National Foundation for~ scientific research, education and ‘epidemic aid. Officials of the Foundation point out that $5,000,000 was. spent last year by local chapters in warring upon the disease. Most of the things*that puzzle man- kind are inexplicable to intelligent per- sons and utterly unkown to ignorant peo- ple. The coming generation is all right, as far as we are concerned, and will de- velop better men and women than their predecessors. A PROFESSOR WARNS BUSINESS MEN Professor Sumner H. Slichter, of Nat- tional Retail Dry Goods Association that “the public expects prices to be held down and after termination of OPA, will hold business responsible for, seeing that prices are held down.” He warned that full responsibility for preventing disorderly increases in prices will be transferred to business when the OPA is terminated, and warned the business men that they cannot afford to assume responibility for an inflationary spiral in prices which might follow too- early yemoval of controls. The Professor believes that the pres- ent year will give the people of this country the highest standard of living they have ever enjoyed but insists that the danger of an upward spiral of prices must be avoided.

Since I’ve never been a real fa- ther to you—’ “Well, it’s going to be nice— being friends now,’ I interrupted with my fatal fear of hurting anyone. Though goodness knows, he was right about it. “At any rate, we smiled at each other and I’ve been calling him ‘Whit’ quite easily ever since! “The same morning, I heard a truck stopping outside and looked out to see Aunt Josie buying veg- etables from a truck gardener. I wouldn’t have been interested had Whit and I not met the same man _as_ he brought me out to Roselands. So now I spoke to Whit about him. “The man with the vegetables —is he a neighbor?’ I asked inn6- cently. “Whit glanced back over his shoulder and scowled darkly. ‘My wife’s brother—Burk Angus,’ he said. ‘A shiftless fellow—! “‘But he doesn’t look shiftless!” I argued. ‘He looks clean and happy and prosperous!’ “Oh, he’s all of that, I guess,’ he admitted reluctantly. ‘If one can gauge prosperity by winning prizes at fairs on beans and corn and tomatoes!” “I could see he didn’t like Burk Angus for some reason and so I said no more about him. But I felt I should like to know him. He had such a well-set-up look about him as if he were used to vigor- ous outdoor exercise — anc I'm sure in good clothes he’d be strik- ingly , handsome. Afterwards, thother—I found he has quite a distinguished war record—he’s a flyer with many ‘bombing mis- sions to his credit, now honorably discharged. And he gives fruit and vegetables to this family, though he makes his living by selling them, and they accept it as their just due because his sis- ter, Barbara, is Whit’s wife. And without much bother about ‘thank you,’ either! It all seems amazing to me! “And of course, you'll be want- ing to know something of Bar- bara. I remember so clearly your saying, ‘Don’t be snooty to her on my account — she'll have “He looked at me in a rather | enough to bear!’ startled way and then wrinkled up his fine eyes in a smile. ‘I was | days I’ve been here I can see that “You were right. In the few none of them are very nice to her—not even Whit, who really loves her, I believe. Don’t ask me why I believe chat, for I can’t tell except to say I feel it’s so. In ap- pearance, she’s exquisite — you can tell she gives much attention t grooming. “T suppose there’s not much I can tell you about Grandmother. She almost terrified me at first, but underneath I believe she’s growing fond of me! I guess it’s because her precious Whit, who can do no wrong in her eyes, was responsible for my creation. “Poor, gentle, apologetic Aunt Josie—what a life she must live, haltered and led by Grandmother Eugenia. And yet I’m convinced she must have been lovely in her youth. I can well imagine her be- ing the victim of a blighted love affair. I understand Dr. Clark Bennett, one of the community’s leacing physicans, was the man i. the case. “What a gossipy letter! But I must tell you that Whit is going to teach me to ride a horse. I’m terribly thrilled. “I miss you, mother, but please know that I am contented and happy for the short time I shall be here. Tell Mr. Crosby I'll be back in time to pose for you for all the fall and winter numbers of ‘Calendar.’” Edith sat back and laid down her pen. She knew that she must say something—send some mes- sage to Christopher. The inter- vening days had in no way les- sened the pain in the heart that theught .of him always brought, though new scenes and faces, had helped. ; She picked up her pen again, set her chin squarely and wrote: “Give Chris my very best regards and tell him that I am looking forward to being back in New two will have gotten,to the place where three will not be a crowd! Until then, I am always, Your leving Edith.” That would do very well, she thought. And hearing Barbara calling her from the lower hall- way she slipped the letter into its envelope and went to answer the call.

We should take food for that, as everyone must tallow. “Now, what is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the: Word of God, so that it only pass passes through pipe, but con- sidering what we read, pondering over it, and applying it to our hearts. When we pray, we speak to God. Now, prayer, in order jto be continued for any length of |time, in any other than a formal ‘manner, requires, generally speaking, a measure of strength jor godly desire, and the season, therefore, when this exercise of {soul can be most effectually per- , formed is after the inner man has jbeen nourished by meditation on |the Word of God, where we find our Father speaking to us, to en- jcourage us, to comfort us, to in- struct us, to humble us, to re- preve us. We may therefore profitably meditate, with God’s blessing, though we are ever so weak spiritually; nay, the weaker we are, the more we need medi- tation for the strengthening of jthe inner man. There is thus far less to be feared from wandering of mind than if we give ourselves to prayer without having had previous time for meditation. I dwell so particularly on this point because of the immense spiritual profit and refreshment I am con- myself, and I affectionately and solemnly beseech all my fellow- | believers to ponder this matter. “By the blessing of God I as- cribe to this mode the health and strength which I have had from {God to pi in peace through deeper trials, in various ways, than I had ever had before; and en years tried this way I can most fully in the fear of God, com- EEE DERM TE ETE IED SP H.
