didn't strike him as "the clearest

that prisoners be paroled to work in
aircraft factories and other defense
plants.
"I would be the last in the world
to object to these men being given
industrial training" Senator Gill

the wisdom, at a time like this. of

industries who have succumbed once
to weakness and who might be

Since last January she has set the
broken legs of SO canaries, mended
countless numbers of broken wings

operations for tumors on several, via
the medium of tiny crochet hooks,
and nursed scores of tiny feathered
patients through pneumonia.

her reply was, IF the birds who
ought to sing were not doing it I
