Do We Need Daylight?

Out along the Pacific Coast there's a movement afoot right now to have day. light saving time made effective through out the winter months. The Civilian De- fense Council has already gone on record as favoring the same and has sent a resolution to President Roosevelt urging him to proclaim such a time change. Tn view of @ protracted siege of black outs and air alarms the officials believe that 1t would be better 10 industrial workers to arrive at their homes during daylight than to have them driving their cars In long lines of twinkling lights after dusk.
 Some such program will probably have to be adopted, because all the warning countries have found it to their advan- tage to go on advanced time. England has had It since before the war and has even at times had the clocks running two hours ahead of sun time. There was a lot of talk of continuing daylight saving. throughout New England and other re- gions where defense industries are work Ing night and day this fall, but nothing came of 1t. The closer proximity of the war now may have the desired effect of provoking just such proclamation from Washington.

A Thought for Today
Speeding Up Education

If educators ever though that they might go on a 24-hour, 7-day week in or- der to speed up production they probably would have told you that 1t can't be done. But American university and college heads are showing now that 1t can. Right here in New England our colleges and universities have set the pace for the rest of the nation, by announcing a change in semesterS. Holidays for upper-claSsmen will be few and far be- tween in the coming months in an effort to make graduation time come early in May instead of in the traditional month of June.
 Down in New Haven Yale University will maintain year-round schedule of classes so that 1t will be possible for an enterprising youngster to complete his chosen course in three instead of four years. This may seem like showing our young men from the college campus right into the trenches, but we must consider the fact that despite the rush to get our youth out of college and made available for military service intellectual training is not being neglected, for they will re- ceive the same instruction they would under normal circumstances.
 College careers were interrupted for many boys during the last World War Some of them resumed their studies when the war was over, but great many didn't and 1t was some time before the postwar influence on our American schools had worn off. We do think the manner in which the heads of these institutions are meeting the situation today is indicative of the splendid spirit and morale that America is showing in this hour of trial and tribulation.

We Have Our Jobs - Do Them

It is difficult to take eyes and ears for a single moment from the far Pacific where American men and women are carrying on the fight that has become the fight of every one of us. Yet to every man and woman a task is given in this war. Ultimate success depends not only on what the men in the service do, but on what we do at home. The task, the job at home, is without the thrill that goes with military service, without its glamor born of intimacy with danger. Even the home jobs may yet taste that acquaintance with death, as they have in Britain and in many other countries where, once the war came home, civilian life proved as dan- gerOus as military.
 The first duty of every man, woman, and child, is to do his or her job better than ever before, right up to the limit of ability Not only the direct defense jobs in factory or Shipyard, but every job, for in a total effort every job is important That is first, but there are other duties on the home front without which the outer fronts cannot succeed The time is past when to buy Defense Bonds and Stamps was merely laudable. 1t is now a duty. Every American with income above the level Of decent living owes it to his country 10 lend that money to the prosecution of the war by regularly buying Savings Bonds nK Stamps each week. The greater per- NstaRe of war finance needs are met by direct loans and taxes, the better chance to e4eId financial collapse after the war.
 A mere quarter of a billion dollars in Nhess bnnds and stamps was bought in 83fzahar. It IS only a start; on the

Look out Japan, here we comet That we'll might be the war-cry of the 1roquois Indians who are meeting soon in solemn session to decide whether or not their nation will declare war on the Japs. If you can remember back to 1917 you'll recall that the 1roquois at that time made formal declaration of war upon Germany. And these Iroquois never fully ratified the peace terms that were accepted by the hwhite fathers" at Washington. As a matter of fact one of the tribes of h. dians Is still officially at war with Ger many, because the Tuscaroras failed to ratify the peace pact. Once upon time a declaration of war by Indian tribes was guaranteed to send cold shivers up and down the spines of the intended victims, but those days are far behind us: The Indians are not so numerous today n comparison with the white men and while it's good to know that the original settlers of this country are with us, sttl it's no more than we would have expected Of them because most of them are real good American citizens.

The Dreadful Drum6re

Behind the roar of the flaming hell that is the Russian front, behind the clangor of the clash in Libya, behind the steady boom of bombs flattening score of Europe's cities, there Is dreadful obbligato of rifle-flre. It is the German executions in conquered lands, As many as 100000 men and women have died before these NaZi firing-squads, the Inter- Allied Information Committee in London estimates. Whether that is an accurate figure we don't know. Nobody knows, not even the Nazis.
 In Poland alone s2,000 people have been executed during two years of occupation, this committee estimates. Every con quered country has contributed its toll of those who were led out to die unarmed, unconvicted of any offense. In no mod ern war has anything like this, on any thing approaching such scale, been permitted to happen. It is the measure of Nazi future.

More Nurses Needed

Fifty thousand student nurses and 100000 volunteer nurses aides are needed. When young men stream to the colors, and the fighting services expand, nurses must volunteer in proportion, and Paul V. McNutt, director of the Defense Health and Welfare Services, is asking that thousands contact their state or dis- trict nurses associations, or the super intendent of nurses In their local hos pitals.
 The Office of Civilian Defense and the Red Cross are doing fine work in training these volunteers, and the whole situation offers one more answer to the question that is heard today more than any other: "What can do to help?"

The New York State automobiles in 1e42 will carry only one license plate. Dwindling supplies of steel make It neces. sary to curtan issuance of the plates, 80 New York feels that 1t can afford to get along with only one. Here in Connecti' cut we'll continue to use the same plates, but will just slip new year insert into the frame. Probably our present plates will have to do us for a few more years, although they were due to be changed In another year, we believe. Ultimately this war may produce flock of substi.. tutes materials that will allow steel and aluminium to be used only for defense manufacturing purposes.

to its work. Great relief burdens may fall on it at any moment, due to moving of civilian populations. However terrible the attacks on Hawaii and the Philippines may have been, they were less because the Red Cross was on hand and ready to mitigate the suffering.
 It is easy, and fun to boot, simply to sit back and do a lot of amateur master minding on the wars strategic phases. It is hard, and distinctly less stimulating, to buckle in and do the job at hand. In just this tight-lipped and relentless ef- fort, however, lies ultimate victory.

While he was still young man, he went to live with a brother who was quite religious. One night as Dick was lying in bed awake, he heard his brother come in from a church meeting. His wife asked her husband what text the preacher had used. and he replied, "What then shall I do?" Richard thought to himself, "What strange textl" The more he thought of 1t he more did the text frame itself into the ques- ton, What then shall do when God rises in judgment against me?" Much as he tried to drive these thoughts out of his mind with drinking and fighting, the convic- ton held him fast until he was at last Soundly convertedt.
 Years later when he was preach- ing one night to a great throng, a man in the audience arose and said: ''The last time saw Richard Weaver he broke my jaw. Tonight he has spoken the words which have broken the power of sin in my heart.

Selected Poem
THE TOWN WATCH

(Keith Thomas in the New York Times) The people of the village lie Abed. No house has light Cordially the moon and Go on our rounds through night The white frost creaks beneath my tread, And white as frost her glow Shines radiantly over head, As we together go. For she around the world, and I Around the town must keep The watch by night that men may lie Securely down to sleep. If she to lovers is friend, Applauding from above, My tact is also known to lend A surety to love. If she to poets is muse And theme, I too can be Put into rhyme: Let none abuse The watching moon and me.
