Post-Christmos Doys Offer Chance
To Plan for New War Duties
The peace which descends on the

The peace which descends on the
household Just after Christmas is a
beautiful peace in which all the
family can get together to talk
things over. It Is one of the best
planning times Of all the year and
with new year Just around the
corner should be used for its full
value.
So with father settled quietly in
a comfortable chair and mother with
the turkey off her mind a whole
campaign can be mapped out for
the season ahead.
Though houses during the hou-
days have their best foot foremost,
always look their best. and have all
their defects concealed as far as
the public is concerned. at the same
time, from the family angle, the
deficiencies may be more glarlng
than usual
For the next few years many of
us will have important duties out
side the household-and a house
that can be counted on to run itself
will be an asset So now is the
time to work out family routine
that will take into consideration
all the extra curricular duties Of
each member of the family.
Buffet Breakfasts.
Here are a few ideas that might
be worked out for the benefit OF the
whole family. They are brought to
mind by the holidays. when guests
are in the house and household tasks
put everything on rush schedule.
If the whole family gets of to
school and the Office by 9 in the
morning-and mothers duties for
defense demand her at the same
time, some one has to get things
started. A buffet breakfast is the
solution-both for time and a good
disposition-and the holidays are a
good time to have the family work 1t
out

Recess in Contrast

A room with a shallow alCove or
recess in one wall will have addi-
tional decorative interest if this re-
cess is painted to contrast with the
rest of the wall space. Cream or
buff walls, for instance, may have
an alcove of pale sea green, soft blue
or terra Gotta. This color may be
repeated in the chair seats. window
,iraperies and Venetian blinds.

cause the shellac penetrates and
bonds the pores of the wood it also
makes finish which is tough and
able to stand no little abuse.
With all these capabilities 1t isn't
hard to see why this ancient finish
has been able to stand the test of
time. Nowadays, however. shellac is
being put to work in all sorts of
ways. For example. it can be made
into a fine waterproof glue or cement
to hold difficult things like glass to
glass If you merely pour some shell
lac into dish and burn of the al
cohol. The residue makes a power
full cement. Or If you have been
bothered with rust stains around
radiators or discoloration from cop
per screens or flashing just give them
thin coating of shellac annually
and the stains will be prevented from
coming through.

type of duty will be recommended,
or permitted to resign. Here again,
there is not necessarily any dis
credit to officers reclassified. But
military leadership is special quail
ity, and man may have loyalty,
willingness and many other good
traits, yet not be cut out for active
leadership of a military unit.
The maneuvers now going on are
strenuous and eXacting. Some
times they have entailed real hard
ship and taxed the endurance of
soldiers and officers to the limit.
They have Appropriated war con-
ditions more closely than any SINH
lar maneuvers ever held in the

This sort of a wedding out al

and hardship, but it must be done.
1t should be remembered that those
thus separated from active field
command may be just as loyal, Just
as devoted, just as faithful.

AMERICAN HEADS IN CLOUDS,
SAYS BRITISH PRESS
(Tulare TimeS)

y
IF we fail in our job of defending de-
mocracy," said a London newspaper the
other day, America will not have three
years of independence ahead of her"
1t is within the realm of possibility
that Britain might fail in her present
task. But any such possibility is almost
is not simply because ours is nation
of OptimiStS; America doesn't want to be
dragged by the heels into war if it can
be avoided. Except in the case of direst
extremity, nobody here wants to send
fighting men abroad again. England is
beginning to realize that.
Writing in the London Times, Philip
Hewitt-Myring requests Britons not to
be disappointed with the American state
of mind. ITO anyone acquainted with the
American scene the wonder is not that we
have had so little support so far, but
that we have had so much.''
Other members Of the British press, in
a mood to take this country to task for its
"paucity of assistance" reminds us we
are living on earth, after all-not in
the clouds" Those newspapers might
be astonished to know that the average
American is almost as deeply concerned at
the tagging defense production wheels
as the average Britisher.
Constitutionally and inherently opposed
to involvement in shooting, killing wars,
Americans are we'll aware that the only
buffer that will prevent it is wall of
vital war materials for England and de-
fense materials for ourselves. We may
seem to Britons to walk with our heads
in the clouds, obvious of realities. But
the average American today is highly
critical of our slow defense production,
and will be increasingly impatient until
every wheel is turning-building that de-
fense wall for Britain and the world,
the wonder is not that we have had so

STILL FIVE MILLION
UNEMPLOYED
(Napa Register)

(Napa Register)
We have now entered one of the boom
periods of our history. Just how long it
will last nobody can foretell. Yet there
is no gainsaying the fact that we are in
the midst of boom. Prices are rising.
Factories are springing up in various
parts of the country like mushrooms.
There is a demand for workers on every
hand.
In addition to this, more than a million
of our finest young men are now on their
way to military training, training which
bids fair to last at least two years if not
longer
In spite of all this, despite our grow
ing industries, there are still five million
people out of work in the United States.
Somebody ought to be doing a little in
vestigating as to why this is true.
We are arming ourselves to safeguard
our freedoms and to make their applica-
ton possible all over the world. One of
these four freedoms, as designated by
the President, is freedom from want.
With FIVE million unemployed in the coun-
try, surely there is no real freedom from
want in the United States, and there is
certainly no other major country as for
tunately situated as we.
Now it is pretty generally admitted
that our present boom is due to our all
out-aid to Great Britain program and our
own efforts to build up a defense for
America. If there are still five million
unemployed at this stage of the game
just what is the significance? Somebody
ought to find the answer

Two steps are now being taken

shown is necessary to its safety

colonies over 55; not even any ma
