The Veterans of Foreign Wars of

The local VIEW post has named a

Jos. Butala and Jos Klug to receive
applications for enlistment as pilots,

the parents of the 500 boys from Ely
besides the parents in every town in

At the present time America has
fronts in Russia, in western Europe,
in the Atlantic, the Mediterranean,
Egypt, China, southwest Pacific,
Alaska and other places. When you
look at the position from this stand
point, it becomes clear how foolish it
is for the general public to tell the
Allied command what to do and
where to do it. The constantly in
creasing strength of America, Britain
and Russia will make it possible to
establish second fronts in the many
places where they will be needed The

In other words, the task of caring
for and guiding babies and young
children is one of the most delicate
and exacting within the range of
human endeavor Odd, isn't it, that
mothers feel, so often, their own in
adequacy to this job, and yet turn ii
over to casual "help" in the kitchen
with not more than a passing thought,
for several hours day, and perhaps
several days a week
The time will undoubtedly come
when those entrusted with the hand
ling of young children will be among
the most highly trained and propor-
tionately highly paid workers. Until
people are educated to an understand
ing of the appalling harm that can
be done by poor training in early
years, it is up to us individually to
walk warily in choosing companions
for our precious citizens of the next
generation, and to pay them fairly
so that we can hold up our heads
in the knowledge that we have done
our part toward the Identifying of their
work.
