Courage and Achievement
In American Spirit
BY HELEN ROWLAND

man may be beauty, tenderness,
understanding and lovableness
her passive qualities. But a
mans charms for a woman are
his strength. his ability and his
power to conquer and achieve.
His go-getting qualities. His
power to succeed-whether it's
winning a football match, a
scholarship. a medal, or just
making a success of his job or
of his profession,
A woman may love, marry
and mother a lazy. Intellectual
man. But even while her heart
yearns- over him, she secretly
pities and despises him.
The very sight of 6 feet Of
masculinity lolling around the
house all day revolts her soul.
If he would only get up and
chop down tree or kill a chip
munk or plough a field or dig a
ditch-if he would only do
something-anything useful!
BUT SUCCESS and achieve
ment are a halo that glorify a
man in a woman's eyes. even
when they only prove that he
has mere brute strength and
power.
Courage. daring, and achieve
ment-these are the qualities
that made America. They are
the real spirit of America. They
are what the American uniform
stands for.

THERE is something about a
man in a military uniform
which gives every woman
thrill OF admiration and re-
spect. This is because a uni
from stands for something, It
is the symbol of honor, char
acter and courage.
Woman is paradoxical that
way. She hates. fears and
breads war-but she feels that
military training and camp life
are fine things for any man.
And in these days when job
lessness was beginning to take
the heart and spirit otft of so
many men and boys, Just put
ting on a uniform and joining
the army will give man back
his confidence and hope and pep.
1t will also give him plenty
TO do.
AND DOING things, arnbi-
ton, achievement and success
are the true American spirit.
All women admire a successful
mana man who has done
something brave. something
worth while. something brilliant.
A man of character and ability.
1t is some atavistic instinct in
woman that makes her adore
the kind of man who has the
grit, the power and the skill 10
win, TO accomplish to get
there.

Simple Rules
For Foot
Comfort
BY DONNA GRACE

WOULDN'T YOU think with
the cold weather there would be
a period of foot comfort? Sultry
days have a tendency TO bring
out all the pedal miseries. You

even swelling of the feet. These
good old supports can be tenn
peramental and simply demand
good treatment.
Protect Them
While there should be no great
coddling. one should keep the
feet well clad TO protect them
from the cold. Sudden changes
of temperature are said TO be
the cause of the well known
chilblains most boys experience.
Feet perspire during the Win

callouses and tough. horny sur

they are not nearly so serious
as bunions.
When the joints are distended
through lack of room, they not
only ruin the shapeiineSS of the
foot but are difficult to correct.
Comfort First
While we know there are ever
so many beautiful types of shoes
that insure both comfort and
style, many of us select a shoe
just because the color and trim
ming takes our eye. 1t may be
the only pair we like with GER

for ages. but the modern young

Don't permit the feet TO be-
come stiff and dormant. Keep
them active and they will be
more comfortable and much
prettier. Professional dancers
who are on their feet most of
the time seldom have any seri-
Gus foot trouble. The action
keeps the circulation stimulated

cause German rolling stock could

the Nazis can put them down.

ofncer who told me details OF q
number Of incidents that had oc-
CURED in Belo-Russia recently. He
said that almost every village in
German occupied territory had sup
piled one or more groups Of
partisans who lived in the woods

lage with pitchforks and killed the

killed. Then the women went back

the Soviet lines.

point on the front in one day."
Gabrielovitch said. Almost with
out exception the older soldiers say
they are fed up with the war and
are glad to be out Of 1t.
The younger ones, especially
ardent Nazis and members Of storm
trooper divisions, grew up with the
National Socialist movement and

"The Germans found nothing Of
any value in the occupied territory.
Everything movable was taken to
rear, and what couldn't be moved
was burned" he said. THE Ger
mans could find no food whatever.
Even green wheat in the fields was
destroyed. That accounts for the
Germans leaving their tanks to try
to catch chickens when they saw
some left behind"
The Germans, he added, had ex-
pected to find locomotives and other
rolling stock on the railways. When

to venture far from their bases
without large formations to pro-
tect their movements. He described
how the guerrillas destroyed rail-
way lines by uprooting the rails and
sinking them in swampy ground.
When supply trains bringing gaso-
line reached the ripped-up track,
the guerrillas punctured the tank
cars and then ignited the oil, which
burned up the cross ties and rolling
stock.

The older men had already gone to
the woods to take up partisan ac-
tivities. The only man left in the
village when the Germans arrived
was the elderly president of q COL

their tactics of smashing through

"Lost" Boys Just Wanted To Dry Wet Pants

Crook Crest. In early afternoon they
had wandered into a pasture at the
northeast edge of town but had never
come back.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Butcher and Mr..
and Mrs. Warne called on Mayor
Fraley and Corporal Currie. Then
they called the Swallow Falls camp
and before long interested neighbors
were added to the veritable army of
people who searched over Crook
Crest, along various highways and
around the pasture field.
Along about o'clock the young
boys decided maybe they had better
get home, regardless of wet pants,
and they came out from under the
little bridge on Fourth street, and
reached their dwelling, corner of Will
son and Liberty streets, apparently
unaware of the worry and concern
they had caused. Whether or not they
learned that flaming" dries breeches

stopped on the Savage River Dam,
and in a letter sent from local of
ficials to Washington several weeks
ago it was pointed out that the Saw
age River dam project could not take
care of the county's problem, as ap-
plicants for work are financially I'M
able to remove their families to Saw
age river where the work was avail
able. They asked for additional work
relief projects that would care for the
unemployed who were unskilled and
who could not secure employment in
defense work.
Officials here reported OCT men and
1T women registered as not en-
ployed and without ordinary means of
livelihood. They also pointed out that
in addition to those registered as I'M
employed there were 800 persons not
registered who are without jobs
bringing total unemployed to about
/, 500 out of the total county popula-
ton of 21,500, or about five percent
of the total.
Senator Tydings arranged a con-
ference with Francis R. Dyrden, as
sistant WPA administrator to give
him a complete picture of the unem-
ployment situation here and to urge
that immediate steps be taken to get
