 fact so well established in history that 1t would hardly seem necessary to remind ourselves of 1t. But the truth of the matter is that while men remember the fact, they forget the significance of 1t. The most important thing in the Christian religion is not what Jesus said, or even what He did, but what He was. The Sacrament reminds us of our Lord Himself. He knew that If men remembered Him, they would remember the things He said and would be comforted and strengthened by the things He did.
 Best of all, they would remember Him as one who had laid down His life. and by so doing had brought the divine drama of redemption to its climax. The bread and wine bear mute testimony to the amazing fact that through the death of one Man came life for all men, and through the suffering of One, came peace.

It is to be hoped that the technicality involving the city's water bond bill will not interfere with the orderly procedure of work attendant on the new pipe line and the reservoir work up in the Morris hills. There should be no delay, of course, in any plans made since last week, for strictly speaking the governor intended to sign the bill even if he actually didn't It was one of those confusing incidents; not legal bar to any legal procedure.

Among the other things are Russia's almost complete failure to deliver oil in anything more than driblets to the German army, plus her failure to come across with promised food shipments.
 Also 1t is obvious that Hitler's drive on Salonika is nothing more nor less than an attempt to ful- fill the o,1 Bismarck dream of & Berlin-to' Eagdad railway, which means, of course, seizure of the Straits--Russia's outlet to the Mediterranean.
 All of which explains the
 friendship pact suddenly signed
 between Russia and Jugoslavia. RESTLESS NAZI TROOPS .
 Hitler was leaning over back ward to avoid war in the Balkans in order not to spoil the grain crops of Jugoslavia and Bulgaria, which he needs for food. But the Balkan campaign had at least one advantage for him.
 He was able to shift restless Nazi troops from France and the Low Countries. .'4 V
 German troops primarily are home bodies - much more so than the British. And while ex- cellent fighters, they go stale when merely on police duty. British intelligence reports from France Indicate that German occupation troops had become very restless, and Hitler was glad to shift many of them to active service.

 He got into conversation with Henry L. Stimson's nephew. Cap tain Jules James of the U. s. Navy, who said he was about to leave for Bermuda to take charge of the new naval and air base. Standing beside James was Gen.

 O. Do the stars really have mo. ton of their own, other than the apparent motion given them by the earth's movements?
 A. The stars are in motion in space, but they are so far away from us that they appear to be fixed. If, however, there is anything in the Universe that actually is fixed, and not in motion, astronomers have yet to discover 1t. All stars are actual ly moving at random in orbits that appear to be straight lines, and all cancellations will gradually lose their present onflgurations, although thousands of years are required for such transitions . :!

 MT. Home Owner, the man with the pipe and slippers and strug- gling lawn. also will receive in- Structions on homemade air raid shelters if the international situa- tion becomes worse.
 For $50 the average man can set up shelter made of a length of concrete storm drain pipe suck in his back yard. This seemingly crude shelter would comfortably house five persons, according to the committee.
 Basement Use Possible.
 Profiting from experiences in bombed European cities, the com- mittee declared, Los Angeles citi- zens might dig their basements deeper and then project galleries into which to crawl if enemy bomb- CTS ever appeared over California.
 Engineers of the Southern Can- fornia Telephone Company have outlined plans for electric and air powered sirens to be located at po- lice and fire stations and lookouts These alarms would operate 24 hours day to warn of approaching invaders.
 Approximately 28 vigil points would be necessary to keep Los An- geles and it's surrounding towns in preparedness for raids.
 Although the exact type of alarm has not been decided upon. tele- phone and power system bells such as those used in German factories have been suggested.
 So, although members of the grim sounding major disaster com- mittee hope their plans will never be needed, they're going right ahead with air raid precaution arrange mentS.

Great Britain's daily rain of ex- ploSives and fire bombs seems far from American shores, but civic and business leaders are determined that citizens in their communities here shall be prepared for whatever may come.
 A committee has been organized with the tongue-twisting title of @Major Disaster Emergency Coun- cil's Passive Defense Committee" From it when the need arises, will stem smaller air raid defense groups.
 Los Angeles city engineers have drawn up plans for community air raid shelters as well as for under ground transportation systems which would be safe from the heaviest bombs, These plans. all ready in blueprint form- would be adaptable to most major cities of the Pacific Coast.
 Storm Drains Surveyed.
 4 plan has been formulated by City Engineer Lloyd Aldrich. act ing chairman of the defense rom- mittee, whereby all storm drains in the city can be made available for bomb shelters to accommodate 170000 persons.
 Vehicle tunnels would accommo- date at least 16,700 persons. Ald- rich said. and pedestrian and street railway tunnels another 1000.
 The committee, which probably will be the civilian command" in case of an air attack, is making plans to utilize all available space in downtown buildings for use as Red Cross stations and shelters.
 Basil E. Rice. coordinating di- rector of the committee, disclosed that surveys are being made to es- timate the available bomb-proof space in private and public build- lngs In crowded shopping centers. m event of raids, civilians would be rushed in an orderly manner to these shelters when the warnings sounded.

This added tonnage of 532,525 to merchant shipping avail able to Britain, and, in December, 16 additional ships were authorized to be sold to Britain from the mari time commissions laid-up fleet It is likely that private transactions have added considerably to this total, but it is difficult to obtain exact figures.

 What aid-to-Britain might mean in the future is powerfully indicat- ed by the American aid that has already gone to the island citadel.
 Though all-out help now being debated has not begun to flow across the Atlantic and though special plants built to produce war materials are in general not yet operating, look at the record for the last year and a half shows the United States is playing major role in the firm stand the British are making.
 Here is the proof. in a summary of the aid already sent:

Until June, 194O, most of U. S. plane exports went to France. With Frances fall, planes were turned to Britain. The Foreign Policy Asso- fation estimates that in IA months ending in October, 1940, 1856 planes had been sent to Britain, APT to Canada, and 142 to other British areas. Since October the number has increased oaround 300 a month, so that the total number of planes already shipped to Britain or its dominions and areas allied with it, is probably close to 2,500.
