BUILDING CIVILIAN MORALE

IN ORDER TO BUILD civilian morale, SOundy
Abased on understanding of the problems arising
from the world crisis, President Roosevelt has re-
quested Federal Security Administrator Paul v
McNutt to develop and naugurate nationwide
program of public discussion He urged that the
program be organized by the United States Office
of Education with the cooperation OF colleges and
public school systems.
"'The genius of American democracy" the
President wrote Administrator McNutt, sis eX-
pressed in the traditional independence and free
dom Of state and local schools and school Sys-
purposes must be preserved. 1t is upon that free
dom that we hopefully depend for assurance that
the judgments of our people will be sOundly
based"
"The President also referred to the beneficial
results Of the forums and study discussion
groups developed since 1898 through the Federal
Forum Project of the Office of Education. "NoW,
under the impact of the defense emergency
wrote the President, II am convinced that it is
more important than ever that the people be en-
couraged freely to assemble to discuss their com
mon problems Indeed, as have said before, this
is one of the freedoms that we are determined to
defend"
Both the President and McNutt emphasized
the great value of educational forums and public
discussion which have been promoted in the past
six years by the United States Office of Educa-
ton. The administrator expressed special interest
in the recognition Of public discussion as a means
of building civilian morale.
Good morale" SAID NlcNutt, "is as important
to defense as guns and planes. Morale in de-
mocracy is unity of purpose based on common
understanding. That kind of morale thrves on
free and full discussion
The program urged by the President is de-
mocracy in practice and is in full accord with or
ganzed labols long championship of free speech
and free asscmblage as bulwarks of liberty.

STEADY IMPROVEMENT?

WHEN HITLER entered Poland after that coun-
W try had been guaranteed the ''protecton" OF
England and France, a slight abrasive action was
set to work in your change pocket.
With the exceptions of Germany and Russia,
no country was even remotely ready for modern
warfare unless Italy could be said to be strong as
possible
The arms race started and now with two years
passed. that slight abrasive action has worn a
terrific hole in the pocket-and you will be lucky
indeed to have a pocket at all when two more
years have come and gone. Undoubtedly some are
even worried about the trousers.
1t is rather strange that we should be so deep
ly hit in the pocketbook when we strive to live at
peace with the world and situated that
troubles in Europe seem to be none of our bust
ness.
But stranger still is the fact that in this mod
ern world when men are supposed to have thOuS-
ands of years of civilized thinking behind them,
we find one man getting corner on all the hate
in the universe and being permitted to explode
with such tremendous force to ScOrch every
living Individual with his flaming sword.

Austrdliu Labor Bons
Soviet-Aid Units Link

Sydney, Australia.-The federal ex-
ecutivc of the Labor party, while ex-
pressing admiration for the Soviet
Union, recognizing that Russian re-
sistance has been of tremendous as
sistance in the fight against the Axis,
and urging closer coordination in the
Allied effort through exchange of
diplomatic and trade representatives
with the Soviet, has banned Laborites
from membership in Soviet-aid or
CARNATIONS, including the Australian
Soviet Friendship League, the Friends
of the Soviet Union and the Aus
tralian Russian Association.
The ban involves expulsion of those
m m b bers associating with such
groups. The executive asserted that
Australian Communists were at
tempting to capitalize upon the So
viet's struggle for their own pur-
poses.

VANDALISM AS AN ARGUMENT

nURING THE past weekend the windows of
three separate offices of the America First
Committee were broken by unknown persons. The
similarity in method and the short time that
elapsed between these attacks suggest a concerted
and planned attempt at petty intimidation. Every
effort ought to be made to catch and punish the
responsible persons.
These acts of vandalism will be approved by
no good American however sharply he disagrees
with the arguments of the America First Com
mttee. There are effective answers to these argu-
ments. Smashing windows is not one of them.
In American democracy any problem, no
matter how difficult and how important, can be
settled by open debate through the facilities which
democracy provides. The wanton destruction of
property and the use of other illegal methods are
intolerabe.

WHAT Is \ NATION?

Nrom the Journal Of Electrical Workers)
WHAT IS IT THAT makes a nation? 1t is not
W mere racial inheritance. Switzerland is a great
nation but it has mixture of French, German
and Italian peoples within its boundaries. strong
government does not make a nation. The mere
ability to hold population between designed
boundaries is not enough.
A nation in the last analysis is a spirit, the
holding Of common ideals, allegiance to collective
memories, the determination to preserve these
ideals against all attack and invasion. In this
sense the United States with its Of different
natonalities, its wide-lung boundaries and its
centralized government is certainly a nation From
the very beginning persons from all nations who
believed in freedom, opportunity, enterprise and
dccency have IlOcked to the North American con
tinent to live together and to forge their destiny
Nothing can break this circle Of fellowship except
those people within the circle themselves.

Fads and Fancies

Young moderns are all enthusi-
astic over fringed play shoes that
take their cue from Western cow
boy fashions.
The inverted pompadour is "1ast
word" hair-do that is exciting much
interest. The hair is brought down
over the forehead, the ends turned
under, which, when deft1y done,
gives every appearance of bangs.
Not only is this ever SO fattering,
but it is very practical, for.it stays
neatly "put," with minimum care.
Something new for the bridal
gown-white Nylon velvet, said to
be very charming to the eye, and
highly satisfactory in that it drapes
beautifully and yields pleasingly to
fabric manipulation
Very new for spring are navy
coats or capes that have small
shapely collars of white caracul,
broadtail or similar fabticlike fur.
Other models in navy have Simply a
cluster of white ermine tails at the
throat. White hat and accessories
worn with these coats and capes key
to the white of the fur. -'-' =
To wear with your spring and
summer print dresses, look up bead
or flower necklaces, bracelets and
clips that pick up one or more colors

ley will vie with orchids, gardenias,
flaming hibiscus and camellias. Sill
vered and gi1ded leaves are a new
and distinctive Easter fashion. with
appeal to those seeking the out-of-
the-ordinary.
Speaking of flowers, milliners ev-
erywhere declare that myriads of
fattering little flower hats are sell
ing in unprecedented numbers. The
significant message about these
adorable little fowery CONNECTIONS is
that you may wear them as cor
rectly with your prim little tailor
suit as you can with your dressi-
est .dress-up costumes. (Quite de-
parture from the old idea which, ex-
acted a tailored hat with tailored
suit!)
The thought that is prevalent
throughout this seasons style pro-
gram is that one should wear al
luringly feminine and fattering &C.
cessories. This applies not only to
fiowery hats and colorful whimsical
wells but also to "hankies," which
are OF the pretty-pretty type.
1t is just such fower-bedecked
hats as the one shown above Ito
the left in the illustration) that are
lending "endearing young charms
to the Easter fashion picture this
spring. Note the dainty handker-
chief, designed by Burned, which
so artfully plays up dainty petit
point garland encircling an embroid-
cred full blown rose. You can get
these "hankies" with violets or
daisies or whatever flower you may
choose. The other flower chapeau
is typically an Easter bonnet. 1t is
a shiny straw in bon bon pink,
trimmed with cherry blossoms,
full-blown roses and wide green rib
bons. The veil matches the straw.

net profit of $500 from her two
thirds-acre garden in a single sea-
son. Figured at market prices,
food used fresh was $3.50; food
canned, $780,. and food stored; $7l.
Seed and sets cost her only $40.
There are two major requisites
to obtaining garden profits of this
kind. They are, willingness to.
work and the use of quality seed.
It is important also to devote
considerable space to multiple pur-
pose crops like beets, onions, and
tomatoes crops that can be used
in a variety of ways.
Here, briefly, are the uses of
principal multi-purpose crops; On
ions - green, as relish; mature
bulbs fried, stewed, or as season
ing; bulbs for pickle, and relish
making; tops for seasoning; bulbs
for storage. Tomatoes = fresh
fruits for slicing or stewing, for
immediate table use; for canning,
or for making tomato juice, or to-
mato catsup; green tomatoes for
frying, or for use in pickle rel
ishes, or in pie filler 1ike mince
meat; yellow fruits for preserves,
juice, or immediate table use.
Cabbage-fresh in slaw, or sal
ad; cooked for table use; canned
as kraut, or stored. Beets-tops
for greens; roots cooked fresh,
canned, picked, or stored.

definitely year when emphasis
is on 'pretty lady" trends.
There is big news, in color, es-
pecially in the pastels for suits,

fashion world is expressing enthusi-

light beiges, misted greens, the very
new violet and mauve tones, muted
pinks and pale grayish blues. Seen
in fashion-irst Easter costumes,
they are ideal, especially for the
long-coat costumes as shown in the

Fresh flowers add chic to these
attractive Easter outfits. Beaux
please take notice! The lady of
your heart will be queen of the Eas-

fresh white freesias to match the
bouquet on her hat (note the model

If she is sophisticated, any beau
may win her heart with modern
istic corsage of fresh gardenias. If
you're away she will appreciate
your wiring her local florist to in
clude an extra gardenia or two to
tie on her wrist bracelet fashion as
illustrated to the right.
