Wyrostek may not finish the geason with that kind of a mark but ‘at present he is one of the regular centerfielder with the Phillies was obtained from the Cardinals. When the Phillies saw that he gave indications of hitting they traded the veteran Vince DiMaggio. Vince could “go get ’em” in the garden but as a batter he ‘usually led the league in strikeouts. Wyrostek bats left-handed, throws right, is 180 pounds, six- foot-two and will be 27 on July 12..

J 'UCH QUESTIONS as when did we begin to love Uncle Sam, for what reasons, how did we use to love him and how do, we love him now are answered in this in- teresting volume, a_ scholarly excursion into what should be a popular field. Americans have been brand- ed unpatriotic if they drank, sought to organize labor, doubt- ed that their country was God's principal handiwork and the exquisite flowering of the ages. They have been called patriotic only if they waved the flag, or believed in Anglo-Saxon su- | premacy or the my-country- right-or-wrong doctrine, Loyalty to mother - country, England, began to change to loy- jalty: to America in’ the. stirring 1770s, but it was a more gradual, process than might be expected, even the soldiers, then as in later wars, being much less than ideal- if their letters correctly re- veal their feelings. The sentiment was: fostered by chance and by design such as federal financial programs, free public education and hero worship, and it spread as popular fancy accepted such symbols as Brother Jonathan and the eagle, which has been used on coins, ballots, upholstery, por- celain and even buttermolds, The flag was raised over a school- e for the first time in 1812, it believed, but it was many decades later before we started to doff our hats during the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner.” The first great national monu- ment, begun 1848, was not fin- ished until 1884, Patriotism as the passion for expansion and world power is exemplified by Theodore Roose- velt, but to Wilson it was rath- er “intelligence, criticism, free- dom, and humanitarianism” .. . an interpretation allied to Emerson’s: “How much more are men than nations.” A decade of research: lies be- hind this booky:in itself a patri- otic service;.its ‘publication’ is of the utmost timeliness.

Midway, main objective of the Japanese fleet in the battle which ‘thas been described by experts as the turning point of the Pacific war—has to have everything it uses Shipped in. It is both typical and untypical of these Pacific atoll bases. Like many others, it is small, with Sand Island itself having an area of less than three square miles. Pulverized coral has been blown into small dunes throughout the passing years, dot- ting the atoll where gooney-birds by the thousands make their homes nine months out of 12. The distinct difference be- tween Midway and other Amer- ican-owned Pacific bases is that here 21 women have moved in to join their Navy and Marine husbands. These, the first_wo- men on Midway since before Pearl Harbor, are about evenly divided: half enlisted men’s wives, half office: : The presenge of a’ few women among so many men has posed no problems, Marine Pfc. Dennis A .Winn, who has a wife, Evelyn, and’ two daughters in his home town of Coquille, Ore., said: “If a fellow has six months more to go out here, it is a great thing to have your family right with you.” Pfc. James R. McNeal (Carroll- |ton, Ky.), who has been on Mid- way for the past seven months, isn’t married, but said: “I guess it’s all right for the wives to be here. At first it was strange to see women and chil- dren around but we're pretty well used to it now.” Life on a somewhat barren piece of land may not provide all the comforts of a large, city, but the wives: seéin } happy. Their 4 (Madison, Wis.) and their husky year-and-a-half-old son, Johnny. more Mrs. Harris, who has been here} ” since the first of the year, is sat- isfied with life on Midway. cupboard space, “Midway does have a few draw- backs, but I like it. We don’t have fresh vegetables nor a downtown shopping district, but if I could get to-Honolulu to do some shop-, ping once in a.while I wouldn't mind it here,at all.” The officers’: homes are larger but this has caused no jealousy. In fact, many with the larger places° would trade for smaller ones, since domestic help is un- available on Midway. Commander John D. Gerwick, {USN (Toledo, Ohio), his wife “Joe” and their young daughter, jJo-Ann, live.in a typical officer’s home consisting of four bedrooms, and two bathrooms upstairs, a jliving reom, dining room, kitch- en and bath downstairs, Mrs. Gerwick, who arrived here December 30, 1945, claims that Midway is an ideal place to loaf ‘and enjoy it. Greatest booster for Midway is Commodore Gordon Rowe, USN (Seattle, Wash.). “Midway has all the makings of one of the United States’ finest bases,” said the commo- dore. “It has good climate, is surprisingly free of sickness, We have fine housing and will be getting more. “The top soil here isn’t much {good for growing vegetables,” he added, “but we hope eventually to have enough earth brought in so that every wife can have her own garden.
