Never let the ice get more than a

Motors are precious things these
days. Many refrigerator motors
made in the last few years are
permanently sealed in oil and need

need oiling, be sure to follow the

your instruction card handy and,
better still, mark the date on your

Dust gathers on the coils or fins

ANOTHER FAIRY TALE
GOES BY THE BOARD

Remember how, a very few years ago,
lot of our national leaders were worry
ing about how the American people had
gone soft?
Practically unnoticed in the million
items of wartime business has been the
death of that particular preachment.
Somehow, we don't like to see the event
go unnoticed There's too much solid
food for thought there.
If anybody needs a recitation of the
proof which killed the greatest fallacy
of the last decade, they can find it in
almost any days issue of almost any
newspaper. The heroes of Bataan gave
proof that the fibre Of America is still
strong. The American volunteers flying
in Burma have bolstered that proof day
after glorious day. The men of the bat
tleships, and the men of the merchant
ships, have shown that there is no soft
ness in their living.
How was it, then, that a lot of our
supposedly best minds gave way to the
theory not so long ago that there was
no strength left in America?
We think the answer lies in the unde-
niable fact that the peopla-even the
people of a democracy-do not lead them
selves. They follow their leaders, some
times with too little thought. They dele
gate the right of leadership. and then
abide by their choice. They follow wisely,
as they are doing today, or unwisely as
they have done in other days not so far
gone.
If this is true-as we believe it to be
then the explanation Of the myth of Am
erican softness is a simple one. 1t sprung
from dual sources, the people and their
leaders, and was simply quite human
error. There is no proof of softness in
error, for the hardest of men err many
times.
1t is our thought that perhaps this
fairy story of American weakness came
from the fact that in the years before
the war our national leaders preached
that the economic emergency was the
business of the government alone, where
as today our national leaders proclaim
and rightly-that the war effort is the
business of the whole people.
you can lay back and let your gov
ernment work out this problem" they
said then, and the people did lay back
and let the government attempt to work
out the problem. So they were called
soft.
'You must give every bit of your ener-
gy to the war effort-this is your per-
sonal business" they say now, and the
people are giving their energy, their
very blood, in fact, to the war effort.
Nobody says now that they are soft.
The people will prove their metal in
peace time, as well as in war time, if
their leaders say to them, 'this is thing
for Won To solve" )"

Will Germans Get
French Navy? 1st
Reaction in U.S..

WASHINGTON, April IA UP)-
Diplomats dared not speculate to-
day on the effect of the appoint
ment of Pierre Laval as vice premier
in charge of foreign and interior
affairs in the French government
might have on American French re-
lationS.
They were in agreement, however,
that the Vichy reports Of collabor-
ationist Laval succeeding Admiral
Charles Francois Darlan marked a
serious crisis in French policy and
one that could not but have i'm
portant repercussions among the
united nations.
WHAT OF NAVY?
The first question asked by those
informed of the reports early today
rs there any indication that the
axis may get the French navy?"
But the Vichy reports did not in
dicate any immediate change in
that situation, only that Darlan
would retain his post as national
defense minister.
The reports from Vichy came only
a few hours after Acting Secretary
of State Sumner WelleS had de-
nounced Lnval and his collabora-
tionist followers for their contemp-
tible disregard for the high ira
dition of liberty and freedom which
has made France great" He accuS

attempting Ito prostitute their
country to that very regime which
is bent upon nothing else than the
permanent enslavement of France

abcut 1909 civilian employees on the
two Jobs. largely workmen recruit
ed from the western U. S. Only a

or injured. The majority preSum-

prisoners of war
shsut half of these workmen
were young and single, but the
others were family men with de-

and February the employers paid
the wages of these men to their
families. The contracts being

paying these wages in the long

In March. however, payments
from the Navy contractors were

substituted benefit payments which

A PLUM FOR FSA

Administrator of this act is put
in the hands of the federal security
administrator-Pau V. McNutt at
present - and it would further
strengthen the position of FSA as
being the big social benefit agency
of the government. No limitation
is put upon the expenditures and
it is impossible tc estimate what
the costs will be, for no one can
anticipate how many civilians are
going to be killed or injured in the
wa.
The bill goes far beyond mere
personal injury, however. in that it
authorizes assistance to civilians
WEc have suffered loss of or dam
age to their clothing, tools, living
quarters, furniture, and real or per
sonal property. What this amounts
to is that if a bomb fragment rips

A SCALE FOR THE FUTURE

and dependents of men in service.
A SCALE FOR THE FUTURE
The Job of passing out these
benefits was given to the Old Age
and Survivors Insurance Bureau
of the Social Security Board which
investigated all the claims and set
up this scale of benefit payments:
For wife or widow, not less than
s3C and not more than S45 per
month, depending on the mans
salary.
Fer each child, not less than $40
and not more than SIS.
For enc parent who had been
at least half dependent not less
than SIC and not more than $50;
for a second parent. not less than
SIS and not more than $3.50.
Maximum payments for the de-
rendents of any one person, from
S66.67 to not more than S85. wife
widow and children being given
preference over parents in all
payments.
Nearly 1100 dependents of some
7OO CT the Wake and Guam work
men are now receiving these pay
mentS.
This scale of benefits is based on
the payments made by the Old Age
and Survivors Insurance Bureau in
its regular course of business.
This is temporary, emergency
payment, hut it also is the scale
called for in a bill introduced by
Senator Claude Pepper, of Florida
and now pending in Congress for
relief of civilian distress arising out
of the present war. In other words
this is the scale which it is pro-
posed to pay the dependents CT
American. citizens who may be
killed, injured or taken prisoner as
a result of enemy act'cn-bomb-
ings raids, or all-out offensives =
against any point on the conti-
mental United States, its possessions
and territories. II is the most far
reaching piece of benefit legisla-
ton ever considered by any country
