Tlie latest civilian to bump a veteran off a plane is'Frank Sinatra, the bobby sock craze. The “Voice," it is said, was on an “important” mission, which accounted for his taking the place of a G. I. Joe, wfho was going home after 39 months on thO battle fronts. It would be interesting to know just what this all important .mission the Voice was on that Was more important than the soldier rushing home to spend a few precious hours with his loved ones before leaving again for the front. NOW IT CAN BE TOLD Now it can be told. The stories of the atrocities com mitted by both the Japanese and the Germans. Because these stories did not circulate as freely in the early days of this war as they did in the last, many persons became prone to disbelieve the few that did reach their ears. Then came the invasion of Germany and the'recapturing of Manila. Wholesale atrocity, organized and ordered by higher ups. These were not just an outpouring of individual hatreds of enemy soldiers. Here was official atrocity. General Eisenhower, seasoned and hardened soldier though he is, wias shocked into calling the governments of the United States and England to see for themselves. In the Philippines confirmation statements were taken from wi^ nesses, so {^locking were the discoveries. , It is well that all this is kndwn before Japan can make peace proposals. The Manila horror, the German horror, and their cause make us realize as never before the full in iquity of regimes which must be utterly destroyed, no matter what the price, if we are to know> genuine peace and security. We, here on the Ihome front, are ^ven opportunity, a dual opportunity, to do our part against these beastly enemies. The Mighty Seventh War I^an is that.opportunity. Support it with bigger and more War Bond purchases. To do so is to help win the war and then to maintain the economic peace by'l;he defeat of inflation. Wlhen our boys come home they want to find things as they left them. Set your own quota— then make it. MY DAILY PRAYER Father of all mankind throughout this day,* and every day, help me to remember that a very real portion of Thy Kingdom has been placed in my keeping. Therefore teach me to love Thee: With All My Mind—that I may think Thy thoughts after Thee, from dawn to dark, making beautiful and significant eadh decision of my daily living; help me to remove all prejudice and small-mindedness, p Lord: With All My Hearit—‘that I miay love those whom Thou lovest^ feeling for even the moat unlovable and difficult of Thy children Thine ow«veverlasting mercy:. With All My Soul—that I may seek fresh ways in which we can all be one in Jesus Ohrist our Lord, praying for Thy divine power to surge through my common-place routine from morning ’till night: With All My Stren^h—^that I may work the works of Him who sent me while it is day, seeking to channel through every act Thy devotion to the needs of both my neighbor ami myself. Remind me from moment to moment that this is not optional, but the last command of Jesus CKHst, our Lord. Quicken me and use me this day, fof Thy name’s sake. Amen. —Canadian Baptist.

It only remains for Washing ton to issue one of its handy booklets on how to feed a family of five on a clerical error. Just What YOU Have Been Waiting.

At least that Is whst the OPA has to say. In other words you’ll be able to look out on the road’ without having to cran your neck around every time an A B or C sticker gets in your way. Two factors combine to bring this about First Is the use of serially numbered coupons and second Is the high compliance with regulations re- qolring customers to endorse their coupons. Because of these windshield stickers will no longer be needed for Id^UficatloiL So you. can either scrape yours off In'dustriously or leavv it as a souvenir. It is also explained that the new rationing allotments which were effec tive June 1, do not mean an automatic increase for all holders of B books, bat only for those who essential driv ing needs require more gasoline than has been permitted them in the past.
