First Generation American

Elsie Papajohn probably never has seen her name in the newspapers before. She isn't rich or Social Register She isn't especially beautiful or, so far as the record indicates, remarkably intellectual. Neither has she attartced attention by flouting even the minor laws of her com nnunity.
 Elsie is just first generation Ameri- can. Her father, an artist, came here from Greece 45 years ago. Her brother Walter is an Army private, attending officers school Three cousins were Greek flyers. She firmly believes they still are fighting Hitler, though she hasn't heard from them in year.
 Why mention Elsie now? Well, by Resignation of the President, at her re- quest, she has sponsored the minesweeper FMS 1855, because q feel that the prayers { have in my heart will help bless it and help 1t to destroy that which brought 6eath and destruction and hunger to my parents people," Just first generation American.

Lss's NOt Firhs Each Other

Out Of Washington comes disturbing reports concerning the inability of our war administrators to work together. It would appear that too many in the nations capital are not looking up, occasionally, at the government-prepared poster that suggests: Lets fight Hitler, not each other"
 In general, it would seem that the civilian side of the war effort, represented by Donald Nelson, and the military side, represented by Lieutenant-G General Bre- hon Somervell and Vice Admiral Samuel Robinson, are at loggerheads. As de- Scribed by one veteran observer, the controversy rests upon a fundamental disagreement in philosophy The civilian attitude is said to be that the armed services can have all that is left after important non military needs have been met. The Army and the Navy, on the contrary, contend that they should have first call upon everything and then, if there should be a surplus, that can go to civilians.
 If one had to choose between two such extreme viewpoints, in times like these he probably would side with General Somervell and Admiral Robinson Un- less the Army and the Navy get what they need, there won't be anything at all for civilians = not even the fundamentals of liberty.
 Fortunately, it is not necessary to go to either extreme. Both Nelson and Somervell = and Robinson, by repute- are too decent, to sensible, too tolerant to let stiff necks interfere long with the cooperation without which our war effort must suffer. Unquestionably the Army and Navy must have everything they need with which to fight, even though that forces civilians to go without every luxury and most comforts. Donald Nelson would be the first to concede that.
 On the other hand, General Somervell and Admiral Robinson would not ques- ton that there are certain essentials with out which the civilian production Sys- tenn cannot continue to function. We at home can and must give up much that we have retained thus far in the war. The Army and the Navy must toss tradition out of the window and accept substitutes in laundry equipment, cots, broom bindings, utility hardware, oil cans and other non-critical items.
 That such compromises can be worked out is evidenced in the discovery that cartridge cases, highly critical military item, can be made from steel just as well as from brass. The good will of big men will not permit silly disputes to go on.

 We of the Negro race are human as we have the same desires, and capacities of our white brothers. I consider we are all children of the same God. We have known all of the extremes of human thought and action, pleasure, sorrow, life and death, love and hate, yet we try to live and let live and work with our white brothers in his efforts to cre- ate a world wherein there shall be justice for all.
 Why cannot our peoples work in closer harmony, so that we may lave in America the same liberty. freedom and justice that President Roosevelt is determined to impose on the rest or the world.

Hay fever sufferers might be said to be holding their annual convention at the moment This is the height of the season and if chronic campaigners pre- sent somewhat haggard appearance blame it on the fact that something's in the air. As the New York Times puts 1t: "Hay-fever strikes the humble and proud alike. Among it's victims are numbered such diverse personalities as King George W, Henry Ward Beecher, and Marcel Proust. Proust constructed his entire life around his allergy, stunning the coun- tryside, which he adored, making excur- sions only in the night hours and occu- pying room heavy with sulphur fumes . And again the Times: "The disease, variously known as hay-fever, hay-asth-- ma and summer catarrah, was remarked as early as 1856, when physician com mented on case under his observation :" That's long time for the ailment to have been floating around. By the time it's 4O0th anniversary has arrived we hope that the medical world will have pro- nounced a sure and prompt cure

Curbed Meat Eating

All reports along the stock-yard front say that by October the meat situation throughout the East will have been eased. In other words you may be able to get your favorite cut of beef pork, lamb or veal without too much difficulty. But don't start to look too pleased There's catch in the announcement. We might as well get accustomed to the cry of "meatless" days. We had them in 1917-18; we ought to be willing to endure them again if such means contribution to American success in the war
 Some sort of rationing of meats seems to be in the offing. It may not be one that's controlled by meat cards, although that, too, could well happen. But it may be regulations allowing certain cuts of meat to be obtained within certain period of time. This nation is one of meat eaters. That goes without saying Well, more of us will have to learn how to eat lot of other things as the main ingred- tent of the meal. In short our consump- ton has to drop and it looks as if this IS the time to make the start.
 Right now people are learning lot about cuts of meat that they probably had forgotten all about. With the more familiar "roasts" bit difficult to obtain at times, housewives are going into their archives and coming up with orders they haven't put in for long years past. And the markets are offering cuts that sell dom appeared on their counters. This country won't starve, even if the subma- rine melHace off the Atlantic Coast grows worse. A little American ingenuity will find us exchanging time-tried dishes for ones as old, but perhaps forgotten.

COLOR DISCRIMINATION HAS NO PLACE IN COMMUNITY
 LIKE OURS

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:-
 would like to bring a problem to the attention of the people of Waterbury, the majority of whom are loyal American citizens, who be- lieve that we are fighting for just cause which is expressed in the aims of our President Franklin D. Roose- welt, who champions the poor, the oppressed, the exploited, the en- slaved, and those who are unjustly discriminated against because of race creed or color.
 I am a Negro, an American born citizen, have registered for military service, and if selected shall not seek deferment, as I will gladly serve my country, but at present l am engaged as a defense worker in a local factory, and proud to help in our war effort in my own humble way.
 l beleive that our President IS sincere in his ideals when he claims that he advocates the four free- doms for the people of the whole world, but I have failed to see them put into practice in our own coun- try as proved by my own recent experience which has occurred fre- quently to people of my race.
 One day recently after working hard in the defense industry I was permitted to take a half hour in which to have a quick lunch to sus- tair my strength so that might return and work some more. Not having a moment to spare entered the nearest restaurant which hap pened to be the West End Restau- rant where the employees there re- fused to serve food to me thereby breaking one of the laws of the state

Well, probably not as yet, for Army and Navy officials have just announced the date as the deadllne for mailing Christmas parcels and letters to the boys who are maintaining Amerl- can fronts in many sections of the globe. Every community ought to make whole ole. hearted effort this year to convey it's pest wishes to the men who patrol the lar reaches where the fighting now goes on. There isn't one of us that doesn't know somebody at the front. Let's all make an effort to write him and urge him to pass the news along from home.

knew what the will of God was and reIoiced. AS Jesus of Nazareth re- vealed Gods power through His miracles and told His friends of Gods love as they sat together on verdant hillsides, men saw in His words and in the experience of His life every day the perfect illustra- tion of the truths He was teach ing. God. after revealing Himself for centuries through godly men and sages, had an ultimate message for mankind so great that 1t could not be compassed with words. It had to be acted out in the most stirring drama of history. As a good general will entrust an im- portant message only to a nofi1cer upon whom he relies implicitly, SO God, when He wanted to send the message of all messages to men. chose as His messenger the only be gotten Son and wrote His mes sage not~on parchment but in the acts and words of that throbbing life itself.
 In the gractious acts. the arrest ing words. the patient spirit which triumphed over pain, men beheld Gods glory and caught the full meaning of Gods message to their souls.

Many New Ideas

Civilian effort during the last World War was as nothing compared to the feverish activity into which most of us are plunged these days. What with de- fenSe and industrial activities there are few at home for long hours today, save perhaps the sick or ailing and the aged. Even the children no longer are finding the home fires burning That is particu- larly true where both parents are defense workers This problem has been solved in many communities by setting up child centers where youngsters may be cared for while their parents work.
 Waterbury will have such center in short time, application for federal funds to aid in it's establishment having been made some time ago. The federal govern ment also plans to expand this program of nursery schools for children. Although public officials seek to discourage such breakup in the home life of the average family they admit the necessity where family finances or labor conditions de- nand it. In New England it's slowly but surely getting around to the point where women are in great demand for jobs which formerly could only be handled by men. So, the facts must be faced.
 Coordination of any and all programs designed to facilitate the setup of such nursery schools, with federal aid, is the first recognition of the increasing serious ness of the problem As it stands the or iginal plans for nurseries will have to be greatly expanded. Wasn't it only few days ago that Mayor Vincent A. Scully cautioned other city officials about being in a hurry to sell closed schoolhouses. His thought was that they might at some later date fit into this picture of nursery schools. It looks as if his thought might be put into action-and maybe sooner than even he believed possible.

That IF was-provided he could find the critical materials to build his flying freighters.
 In other words, the brass hats gave their o. K. with their tongues in their cheeks. For they knew that with plants closing down all over the country for lack of steel and other materials, Kaiser, no matter what kind of a miracle man, would not have much chance.
 They did not realize, however, whom they were up against. Kai- ser immediately hired the best ml- nerals expert he could find, Her. bert G. Moulton, and began dig ging into the metals bottleneck. One of these Is chrome, used for hardening steel, especially in such vital parts of an airplane as the propeller collar.
 And Kaiser found that a fer. rO-sitica furnace he was building
 on the West Coast, by changing its lining, could refine all the
 chrome he needed.
 He also dug up figures showing that between the United States, Canada and Great Britain, the United Nations produce 90 per cent of the worlds nickel or about l65 ,0o0 tons annually, while Ger many and the Axis produce only about 13,000 tons.
 So Kaiser, determined to carry out his plan of producing giant cargo planes, took two letters to William Bait, head of WIPES Ma terials Division. One letter show ed how he planned to get chrome. The other letter pointed out that If Germany could scrape along on 13,O00 tons of nickel a year, the United States should be able to

 e. Why is 1t necessary to put on Q drive to salvage fats?
 A. Formerly American industry depended largely on coconut oil 1n~ ports from the Philippines and other Pacific islands for most of it's glycerin and soap requirements. Olive oil from the Mediterranean, and soybean oil from eastern Asia, as well as linseed oil from Russia and Argentina used to be stock commodities, but now that they are more difficult or impossible to ob- tain from these sources, develop ment of our own supply, plus cole lection of waste fat makes up for the scarcity.
