Christmastide Spirit
To Be Deepened by
Demands Of War
By B. c. FORBES

War, paradoxically, promises
Ito deepen the Christmastide
spirit.
(T have faith that our ma
tional outlook will be less
threatening by next ChriStmasl
In Britain, It's acknowledged,
the war has leveled all classes.
In proportion as we suffer, the
same thing will occur here.
Bombs cement brotherliness.
Danger draws people together.
Sharing a common peril inspires
sharing.
Rationing levels, tends to put
the rich on the same plane as
the poor.
In Britain all classes are being
enrolled for national service.
The landowner is as subject 10
governmental commands as his
tenants. The duke may be as
signed different duties. but he is
as subject TO governmental or
. ders as the ditch-digger. Cas-
ties are even more subject to
seizure than the homes of COM
moners.

The United States government,
as well as most of the nation. is
watching the status OF Detroit's

Selective Service Director Clar-
ence A. Dykstra in Washington
late Saturday said he is following
Hanks case through the Michigan
draft board.
"We will be sure II does not
develop into n local or national
scandal which would injure the
draft system or cast discredit
on those who administer it,"
Dykstra said.
But before Hanks feet cause
his rejection from service in the
army, or are considered a mere
nothing as far as MS qualifica-
lions as a soldier go. there are a

be crossed.
