WHAT WE CAN DO
“The folks back here in the United States don’t seem
to realize there’s a war on!” , -
How many times have you read that statement in the
paper—the words of some returning serviceman? How often
have you heard that personally from the lips of some boy who
has come back from a battle-front?
We quite understand the thoughts of the wounded Tad
who fought it out with the Japs in-Kew Guinea, or the Ger
mans on the bloody beaches of Salerno. He comes borne
from slimy foxhole life, from the sight of constant horror,
from the battlefield where wounded men died in agony, and
"he sees us here, secure, weU4ed, and warmly boused. He
hears us grouse about not being able to get enough butter, or
a seat on the train, or enough gasoline, and he compares our
troubles with the awfulneas he has seen.
No, he doesn’t reason it out that we don’t mean to grouse
about these little things, and that the folks back home are
willing to do everything possible to help with the war. But
his complaint should be a warning to us. We should look
around to see if there isn’t something we can do to help still
more.
There are things on the home front that each of us can
do to help our sons, and our friends, on the battle fronts.
This year we can give a lot more to the American Red
Cross, which not only serves our fighting men all over the
world but is ready in case of disaster here at home.
The Red Cross serves our men on every battlefront, in
Europe, in the China, Burma, India theatre, in the South
Pacinc and at our island outposts.
The Red Cross collects blood plasma to keep wounded
men from dying, it prepares 8urgical_dr^in^, its workers'

serve in military hospitals ike world over, it packs inlllioiis of
food boxes for men who h^ve been taken prisoner by the
enemy and it provides a channel of communication between
enemy interned civilians and their families. It also trains
people here in America to help in hospitals where there is a
shortage of doctors and nurses. Its services are so many that
the average person has no conception of their extent.
What can we do to hell)? We can support the Red Cross
^wlth every dollar we can sp^re^ because we^ know those dol
lars go directly to aid the men doing the ajctual fighting.
After that we can join the long line of people donating blood
for plasma, or we can volunteer for service with the Red
Cross in some capacity. Let’s show .our men overseas we know
there’s a war on!
TWINGE OF SADNESS
One reads with a twinge of sadness President Roosevelt’s
denial of the Teheran banquet “incident.” Premier Stalin did
not. It seems, conk Marshal Timoshenko on the skull with an
empty vodka bottle to halt a lengthy and perhaps undiplo
matic after-dinner speech. Marshal Timoshenko was not
even there. _ ■ ^ ___
After one might iust as well face the fact that there
is no room in this grim world for slapstick. Ben Turpin is
gone, Harold Lloyd is retired, and Charlie Chaplin is, in the
tmls of the law. And now a story reviving the custard-pie
technique iii its purest manifestation toms out to have been
the barest canard.
The Kejrstone Kops, alas, have entered into Valhalla.
‘The life of Germans today is not luxurious,” says a Ger
man broadcast, “but ... a natural life, tranquil, ^cure and
without surprises.”
Yes, there must be some re-assurance in the knowledge
that the boys in the army are getting nearer home every day,
and that visitors from across the Channel can be depended on
to drop ia.Any time that the, weather is not t<k> bad.
The United States navy dominates the Pacific And the
Germans are again on the defensive in Italy. Wiho knows
when the war is going to end?
A STITCH IN TIME
Oldsters who' lived through the reconstruotion years fol
lowing the last wArwill unanimously approve legislation that
will provide payments of a few hundred dollars to every sol
dier mustered out of service. This is a payment that might
be described by a commercial term “for value received.” It
will forestall such trafifedies as those of 1919-20 when tens
of thousands of veterans searched everywhere for jobg and
couldn’t find them.
Then some group started the idea of “A march on WasK'-
ingtoD,” find that led to the “soldiers bonus armies,” making
their appeals to Congress. Finally thousands of veterans were
driven out of the Capital. Those men wanted jobs, and
wages to enable them to take up the broken, threads of life
and to support their families. No one wants tq see a repetition
of that kind of desperation and misery. The "answer is found
in mustering-out pay,^ which Congress is making in as liberal
sunls as pbidble.

Do You Know
GOING TOO FAR
If the governor of South Carolina, after*-receiving a
recommendation of mercy from the state pardon board and
after a personal investigation of the case, felt that the ends
of justice could best be served by commutation of Joe Frank
Logue’s sentence to life imprisonment, it was his duty to in- <
tervene, but we can see no excus^ for the theatrical manner
in which Logue was notified of his’new lease on life, the
governor and a party of upwards of 20 persons going to the
g enitentlary after a performance of the Junior League show, '
i which Mr.,Johnston took part, for the chief executive to
notify Logue and hear an emotional outburst from the man
whom he had just snatched from the chair. We sec no cause
for such personnal attention to an accessory in a terrible
murdef. The usual notification to prison officials was all that
was fitting rfnd proper.—Sam Latimer, in Columbia State.
