Moon Over Brush Street
BY JOHN WOOD


The Lawyer sat by himself in a
half darkened corner OF tavern
smoking cigarettes chain fashion,
ncrvously watching the entrance as
if expecting someone On the table
before him was an accumulation Of
beer bottles and whiskey glasses.
Two Of the glasses had not been
touched For the first time heswas
not making a good appearance. His
shirt was open at the collar and his
gray suit needed pressing. A day
old beard and bags under his eyes
we're tell-tale signs of too much
worrying. He refused 10 join friends
who invited him TO drink with them
and each refusal suggested that he
would rather be alone
The Writer and Artist staggered
into the tavern laughing in high
pitched voices apparently at a Joke
that was a secret between them.
They sat down at the end Of the
bar, then spying the Lawyer alone
at the table, walked OVER TO join
him. The Lawyer scowlcd and

ALWAYS THOUGHT
FOR HIMSELF

But then, Lonnie Edwards be-
lieved in doing his own thinking
He always had and always would.
This inquisitive mind and the
faculty Of searching out and find
ing out facts for himself had even
been taken 10 the army with him.
However. Lonnie Edwards never
questioned any Of the army rules
or regulations He was too good a
soldier for that.
Perhaps this hsbi, OF thinking for
himself was responsible for the
thoughts which now buzzed about
in his mind like bees concentrating
on their work inside a honey comb.

India Shall Carry
On In Her Own WAY

India shall carry on in her own
way, Nehru is reported 10 have as
sured pressmen in explaining his
stand on fascism. He insisted that
it was fantastic to expect Indian
freedom from Japan or from any
of her allie but averred that Indian
Freedom would come as a result
of pressure from the United
States in the very near future.
Nehru further characterized In
dia's position as being primarily of
Indian concern where defense and
political philosophy were concerned
and asserted that free India would
line herself up with those who
would aid her in such a defense.

members OF one nation, but be-
tween all the nations themselves,
that they should be forever free
from the tyranny Of evil nations,
whoever they might be.
Alt=tHis hellish holocaust out
there on the front line trenches was
just the build,up for the great day
when all sithe shooting would be
over. For surely, just as the war,
even with It's -hellish aspects, had
done much to break down racial
barriers within the States, just as
il had brought, Russia. England, the
United States and other foreign
nations into a common fold. the
aftermath Of the war would just as
surely result in some sort Of unity
when the victors gathered around
the peace table.
