SURRENDER:
Prelude to Peace

Nazi soldiers marched into Bull
garia. They were not opposed. Bull
garian officials who earlier talked
bravely, but took no steps to pre-
pare the nation for resistance, capt.
ulated to Berlin's demands when
the final test came.
Hundreds of thousands of Ger.
mans poured across the border in
48 hours. Panzer divisions raced
across roads and took positions on
the borders of Turkey and Greece.

toned food, directed transporta-
ton, and virtually placed the whole
nation under German military law
and economy. Secret police fol-
lowed close behind to round up those
who loved their country too we'll for
German interests.
Berlin announced the occupation
as great military victory, although
not shot had been fired. But the
action did have strangely familiar
ring. 1t paralleled closely the Nazi
pattern that brought the downfall

Fascism had come to Bulgaria,
ruled by King Boris, from within,
long before it had been compelled by
force of arms without Bulgaria
was sold out, as many other brave
but hesitant nations had been sold
out-by those groups within its own
borders who believed they stood to
gain in influence, in prestige and in
wealth if Fascist form of govern

They will be disillusioned, as other
groups have been disillusioned in
other once independent nations-in
Austria, in Norway, in Denmark, in
the Netherlands, in Spain, in France
and even in Germany itself.

1t is said no man lives unto him
self alone; that his every action re-

and his nation. If that is true, then
it is equally true that no nation lives
to itself alone; that its policies re-
fleet on its neighbors as well.
So it was with Bulgaria. The
highways of Bulgaria lead to other
frontiers and 100000 compassionate

of Greece and Turkey. The small
Greek army had halted the first
Axis move to the east by defeating

Knudsen Plan

Knudsen, in the meantime, wrote
a memorandum to Representative
Summers Cd, Texas, chairman of
the house judiciary committee,
which is considering changes in the
national labor laws Knudsen's plan
would deny protection Of the Wagner
act to unions or employees consid-
cred recalcitrant. He proposed that
strikes be forbidden in defense indus

had given their consent by secret
ballot, conducted under the super
vision Of the U. S. labor department.
After such notice is served, he pro-
posed the OMP be given 30 days to

Surrey Clues Soldiers "Rules"
For Good Morale In A rmy Camps

I IERE are the American soldiers
1 own specifications for good
army morale:
1. Fair treatment.
2. Complete freedom and variety"
when on leave.
8. Decent, hospitable attitud 9 8

camps, making him feel he's "as
good as anyone else"
4. First class training and straight
talk from his superiors on what
the war is about, SO he can feel
he's getting something tangible
out of his experience in the army.
These rules" are based on And
ings made in a dozen training
camps and all sorts of places out
side by Alden Stevens, widely ex.
perienced sociologist and writer.
His report appeared in Survey
Graphic.
"The building of army camp
morale calls for positive action
now" Stevens declares. "You have
to provide the conditions that make
for good morale-then you will get
it. No mere words cooked up in
Washington are going to be effec-
tive unless the fundamental re-
quirements for good morale are
present"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1941-11-27

There are two sets of factors
bearing on morale. Stevens finds
1-camp and training; 2-recrea-
tional. A number of things enter
into the latter "and one of them is
simply the relative sizes of the
camp and the nearest town"
Most men want to get away
from any planned recreation"
Stevens says, land anything with
a welfare or social work tint is
unpopular. The only group of peo-
pie who have furnished the army
with something else to do are the
private operators of tent-shows,
carnivals, roller-skating Kinks and,
most Of all, the juke joints
There is no more thoroughly
American institution than the juke
joint, with its freedom, complete
informality, and democratic CANA
raderie.
Some of the juke joints need
control. The United Brewers Indus

moderation, especially near camps,

The Board of Trustees of the

held its regular monthly meeting
on November IL. The Library re-

circulation in October. On order
are 8 new adult books: "Appleby
on Ararat" by Innes, stronger
Woman" by Ben A. Williams and
"The Chuckling Fingers" by See

make the list of best sellers.
Proving very popular are "The
Sun is My Undoing" the new long
historical novel, and "The Keys Of
the Kingdom" A. J. Cronin's lat
est, and some say, best novel, deal

Priest. The price of a postal card
will reserve any of the new books
for you.
Some reprints in the light love
story, western and mystery fields
have just arrived from the publish
ers. For the "small fry" We have a
book of fairy tales and Munro
Leafs "Fun Book"
And now about that benefit card
party we spoke about last month,
there were so many social activi-

cided not to crowd the calendar
We changed our minds-there be-
ing only two men on the Board, we
women can get away with that
foible - about the kind of benefit
too, now we are going to have a
Food Speciality Sale. The time is
Dec. 10 and the place is DR.. Bar

the usual cakes, pies and rolls, and
in addition any food that the donor
feels she prepares especially we'll
