STAGE OF RIDICULE
This business of servkenien, on leave from the battle*
fronts, being bumped from plains bv civilians has reached a
point where it verges on the ridiculous. 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.

You May Scratch
Hiat Gasoline Tag
fkon the UnnddueMI.'« ♦»»!
R*fulatioiia Do Not Roqniro
That It Bo DiapUy^ In
the Future
Note to.motorists—You may scratch
that gas sticker off your windshield
now# It la -no longer’ necessary to
have It there.
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.
