A good many people are going to make this a sports goods Christmas for their men folks, The reason is a recent aJlr nouncement from Washington stat ing that in addition to ban on tires fog automobiles golf and tennis balls would be difficult to get after the present sup plies on hand had been exhausted, This isn't the season in the North for golf or tennis, but no sooner had this news pe- come genral than there was Q mad rush in New York, at least, tor stores retatllpg such articles, Ip fact a good many pf the stores had to limit the size of ARe pnEr chase to the indiyidual customer, We sincerely hope after this furry has sub sided that official Washington won't assure us that the rush wasn't necessary and that there will be enough golf and tennis balls for next seasons use, As a matter of fact Indulgence in such sports may be curtailed by Inability of players 70 find the time for them next suulpleF, And from all reports caddieg will be at more of a premium than they were this past year.

When some one, some day,
comes to write the story of the
handling of aliens in this country
in World War II, the tale win be
packed with some of the NEST
interesting sidelights in the
whole picture.
For example. although our
Italian aliens add up to far
more than those from any other
major nation more than Ia
times as many as any other
country under the domination of
Hitlerl. the number Of 'sus-
picious" Italians taken into Gus
tody was so small it was hardly
worth noting, when compared to
the 100000 Italian aliens on the
non-citizenship lists.
Then. too. there is the prob
lem for the FBI Of keeping
Italians and Germans apart in
concentration camps. To put
them together Is to invite
camp free-for-all that wouldn't
end this side Of bloodshed If
guards didn't interfere.
At the big camp at Missoula,
Mont, not long ago. one of the
Italians was being sent home I'M
der an expatriation agreement.
His Italian buddies gave him a
big farewell party. The camp
cook, an Italian, baked a huge
cake. On its browning layer
were two cross eolored sugar
flags. One was the flag of Italy:
the other, the Stars and Stripes.
