De-Oiling Sea Guus

For almost two years, de-oiling
hospital for sea gulls has been
operated near Penzance, England.
Every time a submarine is sunk
off this coast, the explosions kill
many fish, thereby attracting
fiocks of gulls, which become so
drenched with the floating oil that
they cannot fly. As many as 700
of these birds have been rescued
and sent to this "de-oilery" in a
single day.

Quickening Emotions

When men are rightly occupied,
their amusement grows out of
their work, as the color petals out
of fruitful flower; when they are
faithfully helpful and compassion
ate, all their emotions are steady,
deep, perpetual and vivifying to
the soul as is the natural pulse to
the body.-John Ruskin.

M few women who are not
w talking too much these
days, and see how refreshing it
is to your soul just to be ST.
LENT?
We're all talking, arguing,
quarrelling too much just now;
reading too many newspaper
and magazine articles, quoting
too many things half-correctly,
listening much too often and too
long to the often valueless and
incorrect reports and opinions
which pour from our radios.
Some of us think that if Britain
loses this war the world will be
lost. Both sides have always
thought that in every war.
Some of us think that our best
way to help ourselves and eventu-
ally Britain is to maintain Ameri-
cas- traditional independence of Eu-
ropean politics.
Some of us believe that America
is strong enough to say she WILL
help the little starving democracies
with food, rather than meekly ask
ing if she may. Others feel that
temporary wrong must be done to
the innocent to hasten the day of
victory and peace for all.
Even Families Are Divided.
Some of us believe that practical
ly every person we know is a Com
munist, Bundist, Nazi-ist, pacifst,
isolationist, interventionist, spy,
anti-Semite, appeaser, war-monger
or plain idiot. Families which have
been long united are divided now
voices which have always been gen.
tie and good-natured are raised in
angry dispute.
This is the first-fruit of war, that
it shall penetrate even into the qui-
etest homes and bring the misery of
its great hates and fears with it.
When a great war bursts it scatters
its fragments everywhere, and there
is no escaping them.
But if the members of your family
and your close friends and the as
sociates you see every day are hon.
est; if each one of them truly be-
ieves what he says, then try your
best to understand-or at least to
forgive without understanding, the
difference of opinion which seems
to you so stupid and so perverse.
Workers Always Needed.
"Bill can do anything with his
hands," a young wife said to me
the other day, land I'm an expert
enced cook. You don't know how
safe it makes us feel! No matter
what happens, or how far down
America goes for awhile, they'll al
ways need carpenters and plumbers
and cooks. We lived once on SIS
a week, and we could do it again,
and raise the babies, too. Oh,
don't mean that it would be all
easy!" said this little philosopher
courageouSly, but there'd be lots
of fun and excitement along the
way, and in country as big and
as rich as ours we know eventually
we're all going to emerge into a
Golden Age"
with courage and youth and ca
pability like yours" I thought, "you
haven't anything to fear!"
America has nothing to fear.
She'll solve her own problems, and
presently be called upon to help
solve the problems of the world.
For we all want two things today:
peace and security for all the peo-
piles of the world. This is an axio-
matte truth; there should be no need
to state it. And yet we lose sight of
it when we begin talking. The peo-
Piles of Russia, Italy, England,
France, Germany, and our own peo-

ian uses of these essentially impor-
tant war materials. Our industries
must devote their entire time and
all the facilities toward the building
of our defense needs. When I say
they must devote their entire time
and facilities" I include not only
the machines but also the manage
ment which own the machines and
the men who operate them. I mean
there must be no strikes. either Of
labor or of capital The selfish
interest of no group shall be per-
mitted to impede or hold back this
work which is vital to the welfare
of the whole country.
Most inadequately. 7 have en-
deavored to give something of the
great need for the mobilization of
all our industries in order to make
this country as strong as it can be
made-and as it must be made.
I have not mentioned our pro-
gram of aid to the British. 1t is a
subject unto itself. Frankly. l be-
lieve that the superb battle Britain
is putting up daily strengthens our
own defense. I therefore whole
heartedly approve our program Of
giving all aid possible to Great
Britain.
Our own task, though, is to utilize
the vast industrial equipment of this
country to its full capacity. That
can be done, but it requires strong
effort. Halfway measures are not

that We are, however, and because
We have been more concerned, in
fact only concerned. with peaceful
pursuits, We have not geared this
industrial machine of ours to war
time methods, such as are employed
today. Our plant capacities have
been devoted to the building of
tractors for humble farm use, auto
mobiles for pleasure and commercial
purposes. trucks for similar pur-
poses. We have never sought to
utilize this great capacity to make
machines of death. This is all to
our credit, and I am glad that We
are that kind of people. But, never
theless, today we are faced with this
fact, which I believe is unalterably
to be able in the future to direct
our attention to those peaceful pur-
suits, we must today turn this vast
industrial empire of ours away from
peaceful pursuits and into the ways
of preparing ourselves with every
war machine which the enemies Of
free government and free people
possess. We must not only equal
them in the production of these
things; we must excel them. That
is our immediate task: that is the
call to industry in America today.
Civilian needs are going to have to
be curtailed. In some respects We
may be able to continue with the
production of certain needed and
required machines for civilian use,
but If We are going to prepare this
Nation as believe she must be pre-
pared, the military requirements for
our great defensive program must
supersede and take priority over all
other considerations.
Perhaps you are thinking I am
extreme in these views, and are
looking back again at the World
War and thinking We did not COM
pletely turn our entire industrial
activity over to the manufacture of
military supplies. That is true; we
did not. During that war our
allies were able to, and did, supply
us with much of the equipment with
which our armies fought. In time,

enough; anything less than COM
plete use of these facilities which
we have could be disastrous. The
cost will be great-but failure will
cost far more. Whatever lies ahead
in this hour of our country's need,
1t must be met courageously. Let
us not be afraid Let effort be put
forth for our country's welfare.
"He 1Oho lets his country die,
Lets all things die;
And all things dying, curse him.
But he lChO lets his country liue,
