DEMOCRACY IN ACTION! Democracy in action! That’s the United States army. Millions of young Americans in Uncle Sam’s army are fighting on fronts all over the world. And they are proving their officers, from lieutenants to generals, believe in and practice what they are fight ing for. For more and more of the non- com Yanks are being taken from the ranks and sent to officer can didate schools to fill the demands for officers in the ever-expanding United States army. It is through this democratic process that the war department knows will be built the finest fighting army in the world. For democracy de- j vate, gets the same consid*eration MULES AND MARES Just received a nice shipment of Good, Sound, Young Tennessee Mules and Mares.

However, if they have passenger car trailers, they may have one tire for each running wheel with out forfeiting the right to buy gasoline. Because of the volume of in quiries that are being directed to the Railway Express Agency of fice by motorists with tires to sell, Mr. Dukes made the follow ing authorized explanation of pro cedure under the Idle Tire Pur chase Plan: “To sell his tires to the govern ment, the individual should tele phone the Railway Express Agency office to pick up his .tires and take them to a government-designated warehouse. The owner will be given a receipt for the tires and will receive his check, or war bonds and stamps if he desires, in payment from the government shortly after the tires have been inspected at the warehouse for official determination of their value. Payment will be at retail price ceiling levels. “Those who live outside Rail way Express Agency pick-up zones should bring their idle tires to the Agency’s office. “To each tire, the Railway Ex press Agent will attach a shipping tag identifying it with the receipt given to the seller. All tires col lected in this way will be sent to the warehouses where they will be appraised by a paid tire expert. No deduction will be made for the services performed by the Rail way Express Agency. “Damaged but repairable ti-es and tubes will be appraised at their ceiling prices, less cost of repairs. Scrap rubber prices '1! be paid for any that canno* '»e made serviceable. Persons own' ig casings obviously fit only «r scrap, should sell them at on ^ to scrap rubber dealers, a transa : on permitted in present restri^.ive orders.” When the Idle Tire Pure’ ^se Plan was announced by the of fice of Price Administration i* was stated that tires purcl: ;e< would be available for ratio: in r to keep the nation’s passengei cars rolling for essential mileaje.

Mentally alert, hard-working privates, corporals, sergeants—all of them have ample opportunities to win commissions under the of ficer candidate system. That is the army’s policy. And that is what is being done. The fine thing about bringing the young men of the U. S. armed forces up from the ranks to a commission is that there are no inflexible rules in the army as to the education background re quired for appointment to officer candidate schools. A young fellow, a top-notch soldier with the quali ty of leadership, does not lose out through lack of academic train ing. An applicant for the training school must be a citizen of the United States or of the Philippine Islands, or of a co-belligerent or friendly country. He must be 18, and not older than 46 by the time he has completed his training course. A further eligibility requirement is that the candidate must have achieved a score of 110 or better in his general classification test. Even then, if a young fighting American doesn’t make the grade, his commanding officer may grant permission to take the test a sec ond time. Many non-coms who have shown unusual leadership and initiative during maneuvers and m unusual conditions have been appointed by a general officer to the school for officers. Throughout the whole procedure of obtaining officer candidates, from the young American filing his application, to the recommen dation by the examining board, there is a continual stressing of the democratic way of action. Young Jack Dawson, N a buck pri- as does Staff Sergt. Tom Zalinski as they both work towards their shiny gold, single bar shoulder pin. Even when attending the officer candidate training school the democratic way is further stressed. For there all insignia of grade and rating are removed from the clothing during the term. The commanding officers of the United States army are out to de velop the finest fighting army in the world so as to put an end to-; those who rant and rave democ racy is decadent, that no democ racy could win in a fight against a dictator’s army. The best argument—a smashing- proof! — against such fantastic claims of dictators is being given by the commanders of the United States army today. The spirit voiced in Vice President Wallace’s speech concerning the “common man” is being re-echoed through out the U. S. army today. Not name, not background, not money nor influence matters to Uncle Sam looking for officer can didates. He wants ability. The way he is getting it is truly demo cratic way.

BUDGETING YOUR WAR TIME Mothers are constantly being told, and rightly so, that their greatest patriotic duty is to work for the health, happiness and nor mal developement of their fam ilies. But even the most devoted of them can’t help wanting to take an active part in community war work too. Here is how one mother, who lives in a college town, made it possible for herself and four of her friends to devote part of their time to Red Cross and civilian defense, in spite of f he fact that they all had little children and no maids. It was the simple plan of having one of the mothers take care of all of the children one afternoon during the school week. Satur- successful; PARENTHOOD By MRS, CATHERINE C. EDWARDS Editor, Parent's Magqrins year-old gets out of hand and 1 maybe plops your own more timid youngster on the head? You’ll simply have to control your wrath and act with schoolteacher ob jectivity. Separate the quarreling ones, of course, but don’t show your own child special sympathy. Besides he may be the one to cause the trouble at your neigh bor’s next day. Fruit juice and crackers for re freshments are a safe bet since most children enjoy them. They are also easy to supply. Don’t become over-generous and pro vide ice cream at your house, thus- leading the children to expect more than it may be convenient for the other mothers to serve.

To make a success of such a co operative endeavor try to have the children near the same age, though older ones can be used as helpers. It’s best that the mothers, too, have similar ideas o-i week of visits will be varied and worthwhile. Of course you won ! t expose the group to colds or other infection your child may have picked up.
