The Men at Pearl Harbor
Saw Their Job and Did II

LET NO one think they died
in vain. They manned their
guns until the decks buckled
under them from the heat. Not
a whimper. Not a moan. 1t was
glorious"
So. standing above the graves
of 5000 Americans who persisted
at Pearl Harbor, Fleet Chaplain
Macguire spoke. Spoke in Homo
lulu for us all. For there is not
an American heart which does
not echo those words.
Don't say we buried our dead
with sorrow. They died man.
fully. They were buried man.
fully. And we will avenge their
deaths, come what may!
Died for Their Faith
We should flame at those
words. flame as the old crusaders
famed, flame as our own fore
fathers famed when they spilled
their blood to cement this
American nation.
They are not easy words 10
say or hear. They will change
every life.
They will mean years of Sacri-
flee and readjustment. 1t is the
most sacred gift ever given
America.
1t has revived an America we
had almost forgotten the
America where men literally
died for their faith.
There are times when men
must do that. They do not think
about 1t. They do not invent
heroic terms TO spur themselves
on. They just do the job they
have to do and take the con-
sequences.
The men at Pearl Harbor did
that. They saw the first wave
of death that was to shake
America and they sprang with
barred breasts against it.
Their deaths were not quick
or easy. They paid a great price.
But / doubt if any one thought
of himself as a hero
See Job and Do III
Theirs was the finest express
sion of the American way of life
that we have ever seen. They
saw their job and they did it.
That is the greatest thing that
can be said of any American
today. whatever his or her posi-
ton.
That is the greatest thing he
can do-to see his job and do il,
whether he is threading a screw
in some obscure bit of mechan-
ism or tending a baby in some
rationed kitchen.
There are no degrees Of hero
ism; they are all Of piece. And
we who keep the faith serve il
as fully whether we die in Pearl
Harbor or some Midwest village.
Not Easy 70 Read
Blake Clark's book, 'Remem-
Der Pearl Harbor." is not an
easy book to read.
1t does things 20 you. II
leaves raw places In your heart,
but ii makes you see America
as you never saw Il before.
1t makes you realize what
democracy means and what it is
worth and how much we should
be willing to pay for II.
II elevates every life and
every job to the height of a
great crusade.
No American Is obscure any
more. No American life is with
out an aim.
II is up TO each one OF us 10
remember those boys who died
at Pearl Harbor, to carry on the
flag their faltering hands let fall.

Gardening
Towering
Bulbs Good
For Display
BY ISABEL FUCKER
GARDEN EDITOR, DETROIT TIMES

GARDEN EDITOR, DETROIT TIMES
ONE OF THE very old-fash-
toned bulbs that many people
still love is the tuberose. They
are inexpensive and come in
single and double forms-and
just few of them planted about
the garden will insure that de-
sirable feature-perfume.
There is no special culture re-
quired for these bulbs either.
They are not hardy and must be
lifted. dried and stored over
winter.
A comparative newcomer is
the Peruvian daffodil Usmene).
These will stand light shade and
are therefore particularly useful
in some spots in the summer
garden.
Tiny Glsds
Montbretias are rather like
miniature gladioli and require
Just the same culture. They
come in lovely pastel shades in
great variety. In some ways
they are more disable than
"glads" in the garden because
they are not so bold or large
and they are certainly grand for
cutting and for use in flower ar
rangements.
Zephranthes OF fairy lilies re-
mind me of Alice in Wonderland
because they grow "curiouser
and eurieusef.. After each rain
the blossoms literally pop forth
md cover the plant-just like
hagic. These are often grown
In pots. though this is not neces-
sary.
Tuberous Beeonis
No bulb in the garden gets
more admiration than the tuber-

that so few of them are grown.
These should really be started
in the house in early spring.
burying the tubers in sand and
keeping them moist and warm
until they sprout, then potting
them and growing them in the
house until the frost danger is
past.
However. various greenhouse
proprietors have already done
this much for you. 80 you may
buy the growing and perhaps

They are single and double
and frilled and fringed and lots

attractions, they come in up
right growing and hanging types.
so may be used for window
boxes and hanging baskets. And.
they prefer shade or semi-shade.
so are perfect for any garden
where there are many trees.
The only joker is that they
will not stand the drip of water
from the trees. so must be
carefully placed to avoid it. And
they do like moist soil. Other
wise, very little care is required
and they will reward you with
luxuriant bloom in shady spots
all through the summer.
