 As the name implies, 'Iceland' has its locale in Americas newest outpost, with all scenes laid in Rey- kjavik, the capital of Iceland. The story involves U. s.

Payne uses his line to bait Sonia, but winds up being baited himself into saying T dol" The connivance of his own military pal, Jack Oakie, adds to the side-splitting comedy. And for comedy, goth Century seems to have monopolized the Hollywood mart, utilizing Oakie, Sterling Hol- loway, Fritz Feld and Felix Bres- sart, four of the most engaging comedians in the business.

1t is a wartime must to take
good care of kitchen fats and oils.
Mothers should enlist their younger
daughters in a domestic campaign
against waste. DR.. Louise Stanley,
Chief of the U. S. Bureau of Home
Economics, supplies the following
instructions:
There are a lot of ways to waste
fat-by using too big pats of but
ter, b. pouring bacon grease or
drippings down the sink, and by
storing leftover fat improperly.
Don't serve too frequently foods
that need a lot Of fat, such as pas
tries. doughtnuts and croquettes.
There are a number of foods that
supply us with fat. They include
fat meats, fat poultry, fat fish,
nuts, chocolate, coconut, cream, egg
yolk, nut buffers, olives, and avo-
cadoes.
Many fats can be saved and re-
used. Keep bacon fat and drippings
for seasoning vegetables. Fat used

Any surplus fat trimmed off at

to very small pieces and rendered

Cover and stir occasionally. When
the fat is all melted, strain and

equal amount of water. Heat for

Store all fats in closely covered

NOW LET'S WIPE OUT
POLITICAL BITTERNESS

In the last two weeks of campaigning
for municipal office in Imperial Valley
cities, notably Ell Centre, many tempers
have been strained to the breaking point
Politics seems to be the one great Amer
lean game in which the rule is hit when
the other fellow isn't looking" and it
is entirely natural that a few tempera-
lures would rise to barometric heights
as the fury of the contest grows.
1t is over now, and so should the politi-
cal enmities be abandoned The voters
have decided who they want on their
city councils. That should be enough
for all of us.
Hold-over hatreds from political cam
paigns can do much to interfere with eff
ficient operation of municipality They
can create injustice and encourage recri-
mination. In the interest of good govern
ment, they should be forgotten as soon
as possible.
This is not to say that there should
be a unanimity of opinion on all matters,
either inside or outside the various city
councils. Disagreement breeds discus
sion, and thorough discussion is tonic
for results. But disagreement need not
be tinged with anger, nor should it grow
out of preconceived prejudices resulting
from some such unrelated thing as pol
itical campaign. Issues should be con-
sidered on their own merits, not on the
personal prejudices of the men who study
them.
Insofar as the cities are concerned,
election politics are over for year or
two. So let us all forget the politics, and
remember the policies instead. 1t is
efficient management We want, not re-
venge on any group or any individual
by any other group or individual.
The people have settled the issue; let's
accept the settlement.

AN OLD MALADY
AND ITS CURE
New York Times)

(New York Times)
1t is always a relief when science is
able to pin down an old malady that has
been dogging our path. You now know
what was wrong with yoar voice that time
in 1923 when you played a part in the
college pageant. Only an insignificant
squeak emerged instead of the resoundng
boom that was supposed to surround the
words, you speak we'll brother.'
The name of this malady is psyche
phonasthenia, and DR.. James S. Greene
has been describing it in the Annals of
Otology, Rhinology and Larynology. 1t
is actually form of sickness which af-
fectS the shy and timid, and one of its
symptoms is the choked-off voice, pinch
ed grating and hoarse. 1t is frequently
found among singers, lawyers. teachers
and clergymen. Their throats feel tight,
their mouths may become too dry or too
wet, and they may even get pains in head
and neck. The cure, of course. is to get
the patient to realize that his trouble is
mental and that his vocal apparatus is
all right.

WCHY'S WARSHIPS
AND MARTINIQUE

With the accession of Pierre Laval to
virtual control of the Vichy French gov
ernment, the United States attitude to-
ward Martinique, Dakar and other
French possessions assumes vast import
ance in the international scheme.
These two places, along with Miquelon
and a few others, are vital to the safety
of the Western Hemisphere In German
hands, they would become terrible weap-
ons against this country. That they will
be in German hands if Laval dares place
them there is beyond doubt.
Before any such move is made. how
ever, it is to be expected that the French
fleet will be given over to Hitler. That
is so because Hitler would need reinforce
ments for German seapower before he
could seize such an island as Martinique.
The United States position almost in
evitably becomes one of waiting. Before
we can move against territory owned by
the French government, which we still
recognize automatically, it is almost
necessary that the French government
should make some overt act imperlling
our own safety.
If Vichy turns over the French fleet
to Germany, or makes any other similar
motion to strengthen our sworn enemy,
then we should feel no compunctlon
whatever about seizing every bit OF
French terrtory-for the duration of the
war-whch could be of use to us, or
might be of use to the Axis if we did not
take it. We would be silly to wait for
Germany to move into Dakar, for in
stance, before we took steps to prevent
it.
In this possibly impending action
against the Vichy government, the Amer
lean people will not feel that they are
acting against France, but only against
the traitors who have turned France
over to the enemy.
