SLEEP ON IT
LAURA GRAY

I'd heard that my friend, Alice Will
son, was "wonderful' in dealing with
children, but I'd never had chance
to see her with them until she came
to stay with us. l had just taken on
the job of stepmother to three young
children and was feeling like an in
experienced workman in powerhouse.
But had passionate desire to make
a success of the venture.
Getting the youngsters to bed is
one of my hardest tasks" said to her.
"They seem to be particularly con-

"Let me see them to bed," ventured
our visitor, who had played mother to
her own brothers and sisters for years.

ALIEN ENEMIES DESTRUCTIVE

Harrisburg, Pa.-Many of our most
destructive and obnoxious insect pests
originally entered the United States
from foreign countries, according to
John H. Light, Secretary of Agri-

others have been with us so long we
believe them to be native Americans,
but all of them are taking their toll
of our food, our crops and even our

Our experience during the last 712
years should make us extremely
cautious in attempting to plan reduc-
tions in the program of work for the
unemployed until the expected jobs
in private industry actually material
ize. The process should be automatic.
The WPA should employ needy un-
employed persons and should be re-
duced automatically only as these per-
sons are hired in private industry, or
conversely, should increase auto
matically when workers are let out
by private industry-Howard O. Hun

worst.
 Much will be heard on these lines in the campaign about to follow. The details of how to pro- ceed will revolve about the points so emphatically and con- cisely summarized in the words of Stassen and Hoover. Doubt less the Democratic convention also will deal with the matter.
 Congress, in appropriating bil lions in the present session, for national defense, already has started the ball rolling, and the precaution now essential is that it does not go on rolling until it carries America unnecessarily in to war.
 To prepare for adequate de- fense looms as the great object i've. How will that objective be obtained. In a formula laid down by Basil Brewer of the Stanard- Mercury, of New Bedford, Mass aehusetts, and given nationwide circulation by all foremost news agencies of the nation, is offered a list of practical suggestions on the Front of National Prepared ness Highlights of his sugges- tion well worth keeping in mind irrespective of party adherence and commenting themselves to every loyal American are:
 Hold consultation with the oth CT countries of this hemisphere on mutual defense now and make agreements, if possible with them.
 Get drastic efficiency into the whole program; sacrifice the democratic process as little as possible but as much as is neces- sary.
 Divert relief money to the pre- paredness program as fast as this program relieves unemployment.
 Cease guileless and misleading chatter about building 50,000 planes but get plane production now, and start now to train pi lots and ground forces, in quan- tity, by draft if necessary.
 Build new airplane factories underground.
 Build airports underground.
 Build forts underground to de fend our coasts and the Panama Canal.
 Create mechanized divisions and equip them as rapidly as if we were NOW at war. Same for anti-aircraft.
 Pay no attention to the squawk of the ostrich minded, that this is making us military -i f we don't have adequate defense quickly, we may not have any thing to defend.

Reply of Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Churchills reply:
MY dear Neville:
II have for some time past feared
that you would be forced to relin-
quish the struggle you have made
to carry On in spite of physical
stresses under the hard conditions
of the times. I and all your COL
leagues have admired your mistaken
nerve and persevering will. The help
you have given me since you ceased
to be my chief tided us through
what may we'll prove to be the turn
ing point of the war.
You did all you could for peace
You did all you could for victory.
II you now tell me you must fall out
of the line, I cannot resist your
claim.
The loss of your services makes it
necessary for us to reform our ranks
and fill the gap as best We can.
I'VE have been associated, as our
fathers were before us, in the ups
and downs Of politics, now together,
now apart, but I look back upon
this stern year of comradeship with
feelings of the deepest respect and
regard for you.
Il trust that having put down
your pack you will find your health
and strength restored and that We
shall rejoice together in the better
days that are to come.
Yours ever, Winston S. Church
