Small town today is the great feedbox of the
nation out of which sizable proportion of our
national defense program feeds There are broad
social aspects to be considered in the scattering Of
young manhood from a town like this literally from
coast to coast. For defense Is scattering popu
lations wide. Certainly not all of these young men
sent away will return with the end of their training
period. Some will make army or naval careers out
of the start. Others will make contacts that will
impel them to remain where they in the face of
better economic security. These are only con-
lectures but they hint at startling fact that
percentage, at least Of the young manhood of these
towns who might otherwise grow up in their en-
virons will simply not come back There are
the SO men at Camp HAN; the numbers of draftees;
few carpenters drawn to other quarters in the
building boom of camps; Homer Erickson now at

as January but along early March the marbles are
certain to appear as foam on beer. 1t must
be inner sense, sense that tells them when
spring is about to break but one that leaves with
adulthood. It's a fascinating thing this game OF
marbles 1t has never been promoted no apparent
attempt has been made to foster the movement yet
it rides along in its old forms, from generation to
another. Always when the earth is moist and the
winters dross hangs dirty on the edges-then do
marbles appear. Note that Archie Faulhaber Is
jumping the gun bit and becomes the first we've
seen to rake his lawn like spring better later
when the air grows soft relief from the harsh tone
of winter and breezes skip about And trees stand
around and whisper among themselves.
