Even before she started soaking
up atmosphere. Tiny was sick OF
her cousins Broadway chatter
But her mother defended Reba.
"She's just specializing. Tiny.
There's an idea behind It,"
Speaking for myself" Tiny
announced coolly. I'D rather
know a little something about a

But Reba says n girl should

mama solemnly, ito get herself

How does that add up?"

Just then a crowd Of trainees
hailed him. The next thing Tiny
knew, a dozen boys in uniform
were swarmlng around her They
were friendly and full of fun, and
as they rushed her around the
camp they talked about army life,
the towns they came from. their
families, and what they did at
home. As she showed interest
and thought up quick answers.
Tiny thanked her stars she had
never been fooled by specializa-
ton. How could you spread one
subject over dozen boys from as
many places, when they all talked
about different things at the same
lime?

she looked more like A showgirl

earned her living al it. Yet in
spite of all her specialization. Tiny
saw no line of steady boy friends
after Reba.
OF course. she had no better
luck herself but she was so
taken up with the broader educa-

slip out of mind.
However, when papa read in the
paper that IT would be visitors

Early last year Finland concluded a costly bitter with the Soviet Union, narrowly saved by cir cumstance from utter defeat Now, after only Is months of what is called peace, Finland is again at war with Russia, this time not standing alone but fighting alongside Nazi Germany. Desperately eager though they to remain neutral the Films had no alternative but to take up arms again.
 This is a concentrated sample of the trying for Finland has suffered for centuries, wedged in as she is between massive states intent of conquest. The amazing fact is that Finland in gen. eral has prospered and has shaped democratic way of life despite the buffets of hard history.
 It may not be so amazing, however The Czechs are caught between the two mighty powers, and are jealous in their love of liberty any peo- gians.
 Americans will not abandon their high regard for Finland despite her alliance with the Nazis. Ideologies have little to do with this phase of the war. The Films have long been individualistic people committed to democracy They have Fascist faction and Communist bloc, neither of them dom- nant.

INVASION SAFEGUARDS

It. Col. Lacey V. Murrow of the Army Air Corps, who spent several months in England studying war time transportation, has given the public Roads Administration some interesting confidential data about British evacuation plans in the ev- ent of Nazi invasion.
 The central government can be moved swiftly from London to any one of 12 districts into which the island has been divided. Each dis trict has adequate offices, com munication and transportation fac lllties. Also, representative of each major government branch has been designated for each district, with the same Jurisdiction and auth ority' of cabinet minister.
 Murrow also reveals "In areas considered the most vulnerable to an attempted invasion, a carefully worked-out scheme for the move ment of civilians has been complet- ed. This plan provides for the ev- acuation of civilians over certain designated roads. In some areas canteens have been established and provisions to facilitate the move nent of civilians from a particula, area"
