Now Is the Time TO Start
Building Up Will Power

YOU CERTAINLY admire
these forward folks with gobs of
Will Power, don't you? Especi-
ally these days.
Coming home from the night
shift at the docks with your
back aching and your brain feel
ing like a raveled sponge, you
look with envy at the old chap
who strides beside you so reso-
lutely. Must be 60 at least, that
ancient relic. But look how he
carries on - sprightly as any
man on the job.
Will Power, that's the trick.
Lucky devil TO be born with
punch like that!
Nothing GIemorous
Or perhaps you're a weary,
worried wife, dragging yourself
out of bed at a. m. TO fix
breakfast and your husbands
lunch and get the youngsters
off TO school.
Shutting around the cold
room. half awake, there come
to you those sprightly pictures
in the ads. Beauteous young
creatures in glamourous house
coats, preparing balanced diets
full of vitamins. waving their
loved ones away with an in
spired smile.
Wonderful TO be q wife like
that! But you haven't what II
takes. You weren't made that
way. They've Pep and Co
gettem and Will Power; you're
Just fiat tire. That's the
way you were born.
Flat tire? Stop kidding your
self, You weren't born with a
lifelong handicap. Nor were
these people you envy gifted
with a couple Of wallops in each
baby fist.
Make for Yourself
They have Will Power. But
Will Power isn't something
that's handed 10 you on a silver
platter at the moment OF birth.
Nor something that comes from
your fathers side Of the
family. " It's something you
make for yourself or don't
make.
viii Power isn't an inherent
characteristic nor the surge of
a sudden. inspired impulse, nor
is IL wish fulfillment. Will Power
Is the result of all your past eN'
perieDces and decisions -. the
accumulation of your forgotten
victories or surrenders.
You determine your Will
Power a thousand times q day
Every time YOU shrink from
some frightening or disagreeable
experience you forfeit your Will
Power. Every time you yield 10
something that's lazy or easy or
silly. YOU weaken IL. I
You're as strong OF as weak

w ardens Report
1887 Arrests
In asst Year

A total of 1887 arrests for VI
Citations of the Virginia game, in
land fish, and dog laws during
1941 resulted in fines and costs
amounting to $47,942.45, accord
ING to a summary Of game war
den activities recently tabulated
bv the Commission of Game and
Inland Fisheries. During the
year, wardens travelled a grand
total of 1,937,855 miles, contact
ed more than 97,942 hunters and
fishermen, and inspected 10000
dog licenses.
Most Of the wardens' travel
was at their own expense. Only
the five field supervisors are al
lowed travelling expenses while
in their territories.
Fines collected for game, fis;-
and dog law violations are paid
into the state literary fund No
fees are received by the Wardens
making the arrests, and none of
the fine money is appropriated
for use by the game commission.
This Commission is supported
solely by the funds derived from
the sale of hunting, fishing and
trapping license and permits and
by Is percent of the money COL
lected for dog licenses.
Protecting game and fish from
poachers is only one of many
duties of Virginia game Wardens.
These officers are also required
to make game and fish surveys,
and to report local conditions to
the game commission. Wardens
organize and supervise wildlife
feeding programs during the win
ter when many game birds and
animals might starve if no feed
ing shelters literally supplied
with grain were available.
Successful game restocking Of
ten depends upon careful work
by the local game warden, since
he is responsible for locating un-
derstocked areas in his territory
and for seeing that the turkeys,
quail, rabbits and other game
sent to his county are liberated
in suitable places where food
and cover are abundant.

LONDON. May Is (UP).-Some
military experts expressed be-

The fighting in that area was
confused, with the line shifting
back and forth and each side
throwing in reserves, it was said
Some experts suggested that
Marshal TimoShenko, the Russian
commander, might have to with
draw many of his men from the
attack on Kharkov to stem the
German tank thrust and prevent
the enemy from trapping a large
part of his force.
