Is NYA Girls Report
For Cafeteria Work

Fifteen girls in Frederick, Car
roll and Montgomery counties
started work recently on National
Youth Administration cafeteria
service projects, according to
Charles A. Opel, Jr., local NYA
director. Fifteen more may be as
signed in the near future.
Arrangements have been made
in many communities for the use
of surplus foods and the serving
of a number of meals free of
charge. 1t has been pointed out
that healthy, strong and WELL
nourished civilian population is of
utmost Importance in program Of
total defense.
The cafeteria service projects
are sponsored by the Boards OF
Education of their respective coun-
ties. The girls are working under
the direct supervision of teachers
and cafeteria directors. 1t is
thought that the experience re-
ceived in the planning, preparation
and serving of well-balanced schoo
lunches will enable many NYA
girls to qualify for private employ
ment. AS a result of their NYA
work these girls will become better
managers of their own homes and
will be ready to serve in any emer-
gency calling for the quantity
preparation of meals.

Il Might Be
|Wrong--BUT|
by p. G. Stromberg:


Winston Churchill last Sunday
was a privilege which will
arouse the envy of future gen.
erations. No more masterful
presentation of a subject was
ever uttered. He expressed con-
fidence without boast; fervent
plea without humility; absolute
candor with no effort at in
vasion; a firm conviction in
ultimate victory with a warning
of greater sacrifices to come;
an admission of real peril, yet
not an intimation of panic or
fear.
The democratic world acknowl-
edges the greatness of this man
Churchill. To US in America
he has come to be the symbol
of opposition to Hitlerism. His
honesty with his countrymen
and with small countries, (since
occupied or absorbed) lends
weight to his statement that he
cannot see the need for Ameri-
can troops but "GIVE US THE
TOOLS" he said "AND WE'LL
FINISH THE JOB"
How in the face of that state
ment our isolationists can, in
clear conscience, obstruct speedy
enactment of the Lend-Lease
Bill is difficult to understand.
How can any American fail to
realize that our destiny rests
directly on Briltain's victory?
How can any patriot fail to rec
ognize in Wendell Willkie an
unusual American whose po-
sition as our NUMBER TWO
citizen gives him the right-<to
speak for. millions who voted
for him?
don't subscribe to the re-
linquishment of too much power
to the Executive under any cir
cumstances, but when the auth
orization of such powers is es-
sential to the national welfare
I take my place in the ranks and
stand at attention awaiting
orders from the Captain. It's
good and proper to put a time
limit on the special powers to
the President and such other re-
visions as the Congress elects,
but why should we delay so long
when we need speed? Why lose
days and weeks giving the Lind
berghs, the Wheelers, the Clarks,
the Landons ct al, the opportu-
nifty to spread discord among our
own people and to render, un-
Willingly 1--WE hope), aid to the
enemy?
We've decided on the job to be
done. The majority of Congress
and the overwhelming majority
of the American people want our
Government to go full speed
ahead on that job. The sooner
we get the tools to Britain the
sooner the job of finishing Hitler
and Mussolini will be accom-
plished.
Many people are even now in
favor of a declaration of war
and sending troops. But they
don't need our troops. We are
training them, however, should
they be needed. We have time
for the troops but we haven't
enough time for war essentials.
If we "give Britain the tools"
we might never need to send our
boys to war, but if Britain falls
we're certain to use our army
and furnish the tools as well.
It is gratifying to note that
Maryland's representatives are
unanimously backing House Bill
1776.

Morse Official ellis of Removing
Gold Under Hail of Nuzi Bombs

From Oslo, Mr.. Torp said, he and
his gold train moved slowly to
Andalsnes under almost constant
bombardment. Parachute troops
landed within his view, he said,

or captured Immediately.
AT Andalsnes, where the Allies
had landed, the bombing was heav-
lest OF all, he continued, while Brit
lsh and Norwegian vessels helped
cover the transfer of gold to ships
with steady artillery fire.
Some of the gold was transferred
to a British warship, he said, but
most Of it was left on the trucks and
taken to Trondheim, where, he re-
lated, 80 bombs, many of them in
cendiary, dropped near the ship to
which the gold was being trans
ferred
During the transfer, he said, one
OF his fellow finance officials was
wounded in the leg and another
died of heart attack:
Again the gold had to be trans
ferred, he said, this time to five
small fishing craft which ultimately
arrived at Tromsoe, where it was
picked up by British warship and
taken, along with the Norwegian
government officials, including King

LedSe-Lend Support
Urged by Fairbanks

Douglas Fairbanks, lr, motion
picture and radio actor, yesterday
advocated American aid to en-
battled Britain, under the adminis-
tration's lease-lend bill, even if wal
with Germany results.
In Washington for conferences
with President Roosevelt, Secretary
of State Hull and other high off,
cials as part of his duties as vice
chairman of the West Coast Di-
vision of the Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies, Mr..
Fairbanks leaves here Friday to
20 back to work after l0-montn
furlough from the movies.
He told the press yesterday at
the Cosmos Club he would not wish
to live and work in a German
dominated world. The actor said he
could not predict an eventual Brit
ish victory unless American aid is
increased and maintained.
Mr.. Fairbanks will see Secretary
Hull tomorrow to discuss activities
of his group. He also expects to
see President Roosevelt once more
before he leaves the city.
Asked if he favored more ex-
change of British possessions in the
Western Hemisphere for war sup
Plies or ships, Mr.. Fairbanks said
he did not believe acquisition of
such territory would be to the ad-
vantage of the United States.
He told interviewers the United
States should laid Britain, not alone
for Britains sake, but for our own.
They are fighting our war and total
itarian ideals and forces must be
wiped out before the world can live
peacefully again."
