UNCLE RAYS CORNER

People in su-'cnt Greece and
Rome had goddess supposed to
be the most beautiful of all Her
name. among the Romans, was
Venus. and it came to be used to
describe the planet Venus.
OF all planets, Venus makes the
brightest object. 1t is brighter than
anything We see III the sky at night
except the moon or once In a while.
large comet or streaking meteor
Venus has been called the twin
sister of the earth" It is the planet
nearest in size to the earth. but is
not an identical twin. It is almost.
but not quite, as large as the earth.
Venus is the second closest to the
sun Of the nine main planets. Only
Mercury is closer. Venus is between
Mercury and the earth.
When we speak Of q planet being
close" TO anything else, remember
we are talking about objects in the
sky, II we Judge by things on
earth. almost sn OF those objects
are very far e~art
The average distance Of Venus
from the SCn is about $1,000 900
miles II an airplsne could travel
that distance At the rate Of 500
miles an hour. the journey would
take more than Is years.
IN actual fact, no airplsne could
make q trip like that 1t would
not have air to use In speeding
through space.

nus and the sun, there is no air

at the surface. Perhaps Venus has
warm air near the ground.
A heavy mist, or cloud mass Of
some sort. has kept US from learn
ing what We should like to know
about the surface of Venus. If 1t
has mountains and valleys. they are
not to be seen through telescopes.
The day may come when a new
invention will make it possible to
see through the mist, but that day
is not yet here.
Venus has phases like the moon
Those phases can be seen with the
help Of a telescope, or sometimes
with q pair Of field glasses. At one
time we may see a half-Venus. at
another time a quarter Venus, and
so on.
At certain times Venus is only
from $4,000, 900 TO 10000 900 miles
from the earth. At other times
when the planet is on the opposite
side of the sun from the earth. 1t
is as much as 10000, 900 miles
away.

The story of occupied Europe'S
gallant resistance to Nazi oppres-
sion, pieced together by the Office
of Facts and Figures in The Un-
conquered People, EN- phaSizeS
anew how deeply the love of Ii
berty has engraved itself in the
human heart.
Truly, there are things they can't
dc to us who have known what it
was to be free.
Under the iron heel of the most
sadistic military power of modern
times, with death for self and loved
ones the price of any mis-step, the
people of France and Holland, Nor
way and Greece, Serbia and Bel
gium, Czechoslovakia and Poland
achieve telling sabotage against
their Nazi conquerors.
Even the few highlights which
trickle through rigid censorships
demonstrate that the Liberty Front
is acquiring more than a token
nuisance value,
The ever more drastic measures
which Hitler and Himmler are TAX
ing against such underground ac-
tivities proves that these experts
in fifth columning recognize the
Importance of the Liberty Front.

was killed at WAGER in December,
every fifth Polish male in the vii
lage was shot total of 167.
When Reinhard Heydrich, the
butcher, was killed in Prague last
month, more than 800 Czechs were
slain in vengeance.
These were not punitice eXecu-
tions of murderers, actual or al
legged. They were frankly preven-
tive orgies, designed to estop pa
triotic resistance by making the
price unbearably highly aSsur-
ing brave Frenchmen, Poles, Czechs
who might place no value upon
their own lives, that any act against
the Nazis would bring death to
hundreds of innocentS.
Such horrible repreSSive measures
have proven futile. Resistance con-
tinues and increases. Having con-
quered most of the European con-
tinent, Herr Hitler has a deadly
bear by the tail, and it has be-
come equally disastrous for him tC
hang on or to let go.
The Nazis know how fatal an ac-
tive fifth column can be, They
used such to win almost bloodlessly
over most of their neighbors. Now
the shoe is on the other foot. They
are. becming victims of their own
methods.
When Nazism falls, the Liberty
Front will deserve a big share OF
credit.

RHUBARB PIE

Chicago Sum
About this time of year, in normal
circumstances, rhubarb lovers are in con-
slant danger of being trapped into order
ing rhubarb pie-and then discovering
to their sorrow that it's the kind in which
the unfortunate rhubarb has been en-
balmed in CHASTITY mucilage of sugar
and flour so that it struggles in vain,
when bitten, to bite back.
This year. thanks to sugar rationing,
the untrammeled rhubarb snaps happily
at the delighted rhubarb fancier from
every pie, just as, heretofore, it has snap
ped only from the very extra special pies
made by cooks who really peer into"a a
rhubarb's soul.
Presently the fresh cherry pie season
will be on, and some mucilage artists will
be foiled again. Maybe, by the time the
time the sugar shortage has ended every
body will have learned to appreciate rhu-
barb and cherry pie as it should be, and
no baker will dare to slip back into his
sticky past.

TAXATION
BY TYRANTS

editor and Publisher MagaZine)
We must disagree emphatically with
the five learned justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States whose major
ity decision in the Jehovah's Witnesses
case this week declared that freedom of
the press is not abridged by municipal
license fees for the privilege of diStribut-
ing pamphlets or papers.
The majority opinion in this case is
dangerous doctrine for a land whose cru
sading editors step hard and often on the
toes of local tyrants holding taxing pow
ers. This opinion could be the corner
stone of an evil temple where an editors
criticism of elected or appointed munlc-
ipal officials could be taxed into silence.
Huey Long began his dictatorship with
such a technique.
A Pulitzer prize for public service was
awarded two years ago to the Waterbury
(Conn.) Republican and American tor
their expose of grating public officials,
including the mayor. Happily, the be-
trayers of the public went to prison.
Let's project the majority'S ruling into
that situation for arguments sake and
suppose the mayor had been tipped Oft
that the local papers had the goods on
him and were ready to print the story.
What would any crooked mayor do, with
such power as the current decision had
placed so fortunately for him) in his
creased palms? Our guess is that he
would have railroaded through council
an ordinance taxing the newspapers one,
two. or maybe five cents a copy. What
could have stopped him, under the Su-
preme Court decision? Protests would
have been futile The local political dy-
nasty would have prevailed.
Truth and justice, as well as free
press, could suffer in such situation.
Unless the papers involved could afford
to meet the tax imposed, it is possible
that papers out of existence in short or
der. Few papers are wealthy enough to
pay such tax indefinitely, and it is not
hard to believe that eventually, at the
mercy of INSCRIPTIONS taxing officials,
they might be compelled to compromise
principle with the law of survival
Chief Justice Harlan Stone said in his
spirited dissenting opinion, in which three
other justices concurred, that the amount
of the fee set is immaterial. Ordinances
involved in the Jehovah's Witnesses case
set fees ranging from SO year to S25
a month. No limit could be placed on the
tax to be applied to single copies of news
papers, or to blanket distribution rights.
There can be no relief from oppression
of the press and suppression of news
papers until the Supreme Court reverses
its stand taken in this weeks decision.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT


There are a lot of meaningless
dinner table tab9os we ought to
start ignoring now that we're trying
to go as easy on the food as posi-
bic.
Let's sit down at the table with
the JoneSes and see just how much
food they are wasting in an effort
to follow the rules of etiquette.
The kidS-and, if the truth were
known, even Mama and Papa =
would like to put some of the rich
essence left in the bottom of
serving dish on bread and leave
the platter clean. But Mama and
Papa have the idea that nourish-
ing food would be training them
in poor table manners. So, the
essence goes to waste.
The family has been taught, too,
to take a small serving of food
whether they intend to eat 1t or
not. 1t is supposed to be better
manners-if not better economy
to take some food and push it
around with a fork, so that it looks
touched. than to say, mo, thank
you,' in the first place.
FOOD FORCED
ON NON-HUNGRY
They've been taught, too, that it
isn't polite to stir coffee vigorously
enough to keep the sugar from
settling in the hottom-but now
that so many restaurants have lit
tie signs saying Stir like H
in their sugar bowls, Mama and
Papa aren't quite as strict about
this point as they used to be.
Then there are Mama's feelings
which get hurt if anyone turns
down dessert after she has gone
to the work of making it and turn
ed out work of art. So, dessert is
always accepted even though ii
makes a person feel uncomfortably
stuffed, or, even though it can't be
more than half eaten.
Washington tells us that the fooc
habits of a nation are going to be
changed. They might not have tC
be changed quite SO drastically II
we got busy and revised our ideas
of good table manners enough tc
make the wasting of food a sigr
cf bad manners rather than oi
gentility The Jack Spratt family
might not have followed the rules
of etiquette-but Uncle San
wouldn't mind if we were a natior
of Jack Spratts at least for the
duration.
