ARNIISTECE DAY
BY RUTH TAYLOR
For Charles sfelzle NC.

Solemly and reverently we
gather together this Armistice
Day, i941, to pay hoaor to
those who died in the last
World War in defense of the
freedom which we ali hold dear.
We mourn those who have
gone--but at the same time we
recognize that there are worse
things than death. Death is
but one more tomorrow and
for those to whom faith is
given, it holds no terror.
We can, and we have. as a
people, faced death that others
might live. Now we must face
life that all may live-a life
changed from our ambitions,
plans, burdened with hard
ships and sacrifice, darkened
perhaps by war and its atten-
dant horrors.
To hate war is right. To fear
war is understandable. But to
avoid war by denial of our
principles because of the hat
red and fear is wrong. We
must fight evil wherever it ex-
lists.

the Civil War, Lowell wrote his

The CondoIiers
At the Majestic

That the dear old melodies
of Gilbert and Sullivan are as
heart warming as ever is be-
ing amply demonstrated these
nights at the Majestic Theatre
in Boston where an excellent
company is singing the thrill
ing choruSeS of THE Condo
liers." This engagement is a
limited one and is the third
in the series of these revivals
at the downtown house. "The
Mikado" was the first and "Pi-
rates of Penzance" was second.
They both enjoyed such a SEN
sational response that the
Messrs. Shubert who are the
producers brought in "The
Gondoliers." Seldom has such
an excellent singing company
been offered. Headed by a cast
of Gilbert and Sullivan veter-
ans and an ensemble of $50, the
productions are being called
the best ever given in Boston.
Headlining the cast of THE
Gondoliers" are Margaret Roy,
John Hendricks, Florenz Ames,
Morton Bowe, Bertram Peacock,
Robert Pitkin, Kathleen Roche,
Mary Roche (the latter two be-
ing charming Worcester sisters
whose singing and beauty de-

Sundays Special Day Program
inaugurated a new long range
program by the Chaplain for
the Reception Center. Approx
imately eight hundred enlisted
men of the Reception Center
attended this special program
at 10 a. m, which was preSen-
ted fro mthe Boxing Ring in
the open air, Reception Center
Recreation Area. The gather
ing included many recruits not
more than three or four days
removed from civilian life.
These hundreds of men made
a most interesting and impos-
ing scene as they sat and stood
around the boxing ring which
served as speakers stand,
participating in the singing
andliStening to talks. The high
light of the program was an
addressby Lieut.. Colonel Frank
Lockhead, Commanding Off
Ger of Reception Center. In a
most effective manner and
with well chosen words Colonel
-Lockhead impressed upon the
minds of the men the import
ance and necessity Of getting
the right start in this new type
of life. 1t is the intention of
the Chaplain's' Office to have
at least two of the high rank
ing officers on the post to lec-
ture to the men at Reception
Center twice a month. General
Omar Bradley, Commanding
General Of Fort Benning, has
consented to speak for us some
time during the month of De-
cember, 1941.
The soldiers interest in foot
ball is very keen at Fort Ben
ming, SO there will be a Post
convoy to Tuskegee, Ala, on
Saturday, November 8, to at

both Saturdays. The troops will
be furnished cold lunches and
supperu. The fourth in a SER
les Of monthly musical hours
of the Reception Center was
presented at Gowdy Field on
Thursday night of this week.
There were new music, new
songs, and new acts as the tall
ents Of the Reception Center
passed in review, Due to the
cold weather and being out in
the open air the crowd was
much smaller than on prev
Ious occasions, but those who
attended had a real enjoyable

QUOTES
OF The Week
FASCIST LIES

FASCIST LIES
@The attack of world Fascism
is not only from without but
from within, these attacks be-
ing synchronized and controlled
from one source. The interior
threat is two-handed. One
hand throttles our free inStitu-
tions, while the other fiutters
before our eyes the distraction
OF economic and racial terror:
Fear Of communism and fear
of Jews.
Destroy the schools, the Fas-
cists say, because the schools
are Communist, destroy free
moving pictures because they
are Jewish. The method is so
simple, the lie is so big, the
premise is so false, that inno-
cent people are deceived. as
Hitler and his teachers knew
they would be deceived.
"And we have been at fault
in not ceaselessly opposing the
lie with the truth; that by the
widest exaggeration not more
than one-tenth of l per cent
of our people are Communist,
that not one member OF any
branch of She Government is
Communist; that anti-semitism
is the most hideous of spiritual
leprosies, the spore of which is
spread by men who have aban-
doned their humanity, that
through it the Jew becomes the
scapegoat for apostate Christ
ians' betrayal of their own
Christhood, and that at the
same time it attacks in Judaism
one of the very springs of that
democracy which is their real
enemy.
The lie has been advertised
as no lie in history was ever
advertised. The truth has been
kept under wraps while we have
we have been awaiting the plea
sure of Fascisn."

Letters 10 the Guardian
OUR BEST VOTE GETTER
IN WARD 9


To the Editor of The Guardian.
Last year when Larry"
Banks polled about 5000 votes
Ga shift of only 600 votes would
have won the election for him
it was said that people in Ward
9 were taking their politics
more seriously; that practical
ly any one could have obtained
the same results.
This year David D. Kenney
faring even worse than he did
two years ago, lost by 1926
votes. Even were Roberts S82
votes thrown to him, Kenney
would still have only a trifle
more than 5000 votes.
This looks bad for our group
In Ward 8. But, taking an
other point Of view, there is a
very bright spot Of a better
day" on the horizon. 1t now
is apparent that Atty. Banks
has the political "umph" that
gets votes.
Larry has his feet wet with
a single years experience Bas-
ed on these facts, Atty. Banks
using the same tactics as he
did last year. is certain TO be
elected Representative from
Ward 9 for the Great and Cen
eral Court Of the Common
wealth Of Massachusetts i''

INCREASES IN
BANK RESERVE
Effective Nov. 1, Increase in
Reserve Requirement for
NOn-Member Banks
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY

For the first time in the history
of the Delaware State Banking De-
partment, increases in reserve re-
quirements of non-member state
chartered banks are prescribed in
a reserve regulation issued by State
Bank Commissioner Frank E.
Lynch, Jr., effective November l..
The authority for such action is
pursuant to the provisions of 2198,
Section 81, of the 1885 Revised
Code, as amended by the 1941 Cen
eral Assembly. Increases in re-
serve requirements of Federal Re-
serve member banks were announc-
ed by the board of governors of the
Federal Reserve System on Sep
tember "a, and the reserves pre-
scribed by the State Banking De-
partment today are in line with
those prescribed by the Federal
Reserve System. AS of September
Is, excess reserves in non-member
state chartered banks approximat-
ed $13,300,000. The increase in re-
quirements will reduce these re-
serves by approximately 100000,
or one-seventh. The opinion was
expressed by Commissioner Lynch:
"In view of the substantial cash

crease will not impair their ability
to provide adequate credit facil-
tiles, not only in the current de-
fense effort but in the banks COM
munity, and will be recognized as a

Delaware banking in the nations
program to combat inflationary
trends"
