The table w’as extremely lovely, centered with the birthday cake bearing forty-seven candles. Mrs. Fussell, Mrs. Shr:>n- er, Miss Louise Williamson, Mrs. ^ Editorial after editorial—dozens of them—appear constantly in the daily metropolitan press of the country, telling the people that they must wake up; that they must realize that there is a war going on—and that “we are los ing it.” Turn back to the front page of that same big town daily in which the editor, or some member of his staff, has just cautioned the people against slackness, and you will see in large comforting head lines “Marines Blast Japs in Sol omons”; “Rommel Weakening Un der British Pressure”; “Reds Smash Nazi Flank.” We always read that we are “blasting” or “smashing” someone or “hurling them back.” No one ever seems to be blasting us—but we lose ships and men and territory just the same. In smaller print you will find the other news, and that news for the most part has been very unpleasant for our side for a long time past. People are busy these days and about the only time the city man has to read his paper is while he is traveling back and forth from his business in a trolley car, bus, or subway. Many people get their news from headlines; many from radio commentators; and some from the conversations they hear around them. A very small per centage read the editorials. The editorials themselves very clearly outline the current condition of affairs. They beg us to wake up; to realize the awful danger; to try to appreciate the terrific gravity of the situation. And on the front page they bury the stark reali ties under blazing headlines of optimism. There is a formula for almost everything—certainly for that mental phrase which makes peo ple “fight like madmen.” That formula is a combination of pride, patriotism, anger, hatred, sense of justice and last, but not least, fear of defeat and its conse quences. Neither the American people nor any other people arc going to “extend themselves” to the utrAost until they are either driven red-mad by anger and hatred, or until they begin to realize that there is danger. Th^ history of the reactions of th ? British people from the early days of this war when everyone felt so safe to the days following Dun kirk when they awoke to the dan ger of the situation—is a perfect illustration of this fact. It Ls true that a great deal cf distressing news is held back from the press by the authorities in Washington. This is done' prin cipally for the purpose of with holding valuable information from the enemy. But when this ba I news is released, it seems—to th* ordinary reader of the daily presj —that it is minimized instead of being printed in bold headlines*, so that those who “read and run * can see where we stand. It is brushed over by the - radio com mentator in his 15-minute dem onstration of how we are “win ning the war.” There is no justice in accusing the people of complacency unless- they are told the worst and stHl don’t wake up. You have got to shake us to wake us. The bad news will wake us fast enough U it is only brought forcibly to our attention. And the people can “take it too.” W. W. Mayson, Jr., are all cousins, and were guests on this occasion. Mrs. Edgar Foreman of ^feech Island and attractive little son, Ed gar, Jr., spent the week end with Mrs. J. P. Sullivan, Mrs. Foreman’s mother. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Shuford and family were dinner guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Winn Sunday. Rev.
