Any way you look at it. tho I tilted States Is In a more perilous situation than it haa beon since the war of 1812. lOvon though we are a long way from being prepared to resist an Invasion from either east or west, our navv and our air forces are not hopeleas cripples by any moans. If wo should |>u! our tight lug forces back of those of I lie British, we might save the last vestige of democracy that is h-fi in tho world We have gone ,i long way in extending ,ii(I to Britain Tills is no time to *t.ip The most gallant resistance in ill history lias hern the light which 'the greatly oulnutnbenMl Koyal Air Force has been putting up against Miller < planes. If by sending some pf our navy's "Hying fortresses" to Knglaiid the defeat of Germany could he made complete, it would seem to lie the part of wisdom to do just that. I'nless something decisive occurs to release Hi" British Navy from its necessity of standing guard on Kuropean shores, we are likely to have our hands full protending our int.-rests in the Pacific, leaving our Atlantic coast wide open.

HORSE SENSE We may gamble for money, sometimes for fuu, And luck may take part in the game that Is won, } But good common sense, in our work evor'y day, Is the one sure bet to make Safety ' pay. We always feel sorry for the man who was hurt; He trusted to luck in doing his work. I But let's not forget that maybe tomorrow .lust one little slip will bring the same sorrow. So lot's resolve now to take the Safe Way? To use common sense in our work and our play. Let I sidy Luck help along if she can. But depend most of all on the horse sense of man,?The Safe Worker.
