Proverbs

OF the British weekly In q recent
editorial:
The more one ponders the
total silence Of the church (by
which here as always we mean
the churches. which despite
their honorable differences are
always and have always been
finally one) the Word Of God
has TO give ms In the way Of
guidance In such q convulsed
time ~ this, the more depIor-
able, and more ominous also
and the more guilty such sill
ence must be considered"
Many are the causes for this
condition. 1t il not pleasant to
record them. Whatever value our
denominstionalism has had. has
largely been offset in the estab-
lishment OF the ecclesiastical In
stitution. rather than the reign Of
God and essential righteousness.
Religions Must Unite
The slowly growing movement
for a common understanding, and
united effort of various religious
groups. must move forward with
increased power. The gauge of
battle has been cast against re-
ligion itself. Nothing would so
halt that pagan assault than for
Catholics and Professionals 10 find

strategy.
II one Is mindful of the past he
may assure himself in these hours
of crisis by remembering that in
such hours God has raised up such
leaders as Augustine, savonarola
Of Florence, Luther. Cox. Calvin,
Booth and Wesley. These men
came when the world despaired.
The forecast of this leader

/ out what plans you have made
whether they concern your Office or
your social life. You simply don't
give a damn about anything"
Reactions Differ.
For some people, the opposite re-
action results. They find a false
physical stimulation which forces
them to stay up late expend a great
deal of energy without accomplishing
much, eat and drink more than is
good for them and keep going as
such pace that eventually they end
up exhausted
Along with these jitters, there's
new wave Of night blindness, dan
| gerous in a city of almost complete
blackoutS from sunset to sunrise.
These people can't see in the dark.
their eyes cannot accustom them
selves to even dimly lighted streets,
and minor accidents, such as walk
ing into walls, lampposts and park
benches, are frequent. Driving
after dark is impossible.
DR.. Daniel P. OBrien, Paris rep
dation who recently returned to
this country. said night blindness
is directly connected with vitamin
deficiencies, but that undoubtedly
the blackouts and nervous strain
have aggravated the French brand.
Like the rest of us in Paris, he has
had touch of it from time to time.
One Of the best ways we found
OF fighting off these complications
was to eat as much fresh fruit as
was available, and particularly
Spanish oranges, big and juicy,
which now have started to come
into the occupied territory.
Aspirin Sales Increase.
Some people found that going
ION the wagon helped, while others
got steadily worse when they gave
up their cocktails or highballs.
One druggist told me sales OF
aspirin and sedatives were mount
ing rapidly as peoples nerves got
more ragged. Many of nv friends
have been forced to take treatments
at the American Hospital for bad
cases of nervous indigestion and
even mild forms of dySentery.
With winter coming on when I
left, there was a renewed epidemic
of chest and head colds, caused by
living in unheated apartments or
working in unheated offices. The
French administration has recog-
nized the dangers of this situation
and has been working hard to speed
up the deliveries of coal to the cap
ital from the northern mines. There
again, it is simple problem Of
transportation, since the mines
have been working regular sched-
ules since the end Of hostilities.
The worst of all symptoms, how
ever. is the depression from an un-
avoidable feeling of being "saught"
in a military zone. under military
rule administered by a triumphant
army, whose frontiers are sealed
and whose only exit is one bottle
neck for all continental Europe
Lisbon.
Even if wide gate toward the
outside were established, many peo-
pie would decline to leave. But
they'd like to know that it's there
and open-just in case.

Only a Merchantmen
LOST During Week,
British Announce
Total Of 1867 Tons
Sunk in One Of Wars
Liehtest Periods
By ROY P. PORTER.
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 14-Four mer-
Chantmen totaling 1857 tons were
sunk during the week ended jan
uary 5, one of the lightest week S
losses since the war began, the Ad-
miralty reported today.
All four were British vessels.
In only four other weeks since the
outbreak of the war have the re-
ported merchantmen losses been
lighter.
An authoritative source ascribed
the decrease to three factors:
l. General weather conditions for
the week were bad, preventing ex-
tensive activity by German planes.
This, he said, doubtlessly meant that
fewer German aircraft were able to
lay magnetic mines and fewer bomb
ers were able to attack conveys.
2. The Royal Air Force has
'heavily bombed" Nazi naval bases
In Germany and along the French
coast ION numerous occasions" pos
sibly affecting the effective subma-
rlne Strengtn.
3. The number of convoy escort
vessels has been increasing grad
ually' since higher losses were re-
ported.
The source emphasized these rea-
sons were only his own "conjec-
lures"
The lightest week of the war for
merchant ship losses reported by
the Admiralty was that ended last
April 7, when 1926 tons were lost.
The Admiralty announcement said
that mo German claims to have
sunk mercantile tonnage appeared
to have been made this week other
than retrospective claim that a
raider had sunk 64,155 tons of ship
ping in the Pacific.

Transport Problem Serious.

A serious transport problem. due

shortages.
Most of the foodStuffs still are
available, with the exception OF
coffee. The real job is to move
these supplies in from the regions
where they are grown.
Many other necessities are hard
TO find. Leather is short because
many tanneries were damaged or
are unable to get skins in from the
unoccupied part of the country.
Soap is scarce because the oSs
used in its manufacture come princi-
pally from North Africa to factories

Sugar is beginning to be lacking
because the beetfields in the north,
uncultivated and torn up by mill
tary operations, will produce only
about Is per cent of the normal
crop.
Meat Rationed Strictly.
The most strictly rationed food
Is meat, because it's difficult to
move in large quantities and more
difficult to keep in a country where
there is little refrigeration. France
does not raise enough livestock for
her normal consumption.
But any Partisan or any foreigner,
If he manges well, can eat and eat

A powerful drama of undying love in the big city is the thrilling theme of Warner Bros. new film, City for Conquest" now at the 2Oth Century The film, starring James Cagney and Ann Sheridan, is as turbulent, exciting and dra- matic as New York City itself.
 City for Conquest has a sup porting cast that is unsurpassed.

Frank McHugh lends humor to the film as a typical Moo Yawker who is never at loss for words of ad- vice. Donald Crisp. known for his splendid performances, runs true to form as Cagney's answering pal. Arthur Kennedy, fresh from the New York stage, is cast as Gag ney's brother who composes a Symphony of the Magic Isle" that is the soul and, tempo of New York.
 Also featured in the brilliant cast are George Tobias. Jerome Conan, Ella Kazan, Joyce Compton, Lee Patrick, Anthony Quinn, Blanche Yurke, George Lloyd, Thurston Hall, Ben Weldon, John Arledge, Ed Keane, Selmer Jackson and Jo- seph Crehan.
