D. Scholtz, Omaha director of CIV
ilian defense in the Seventh De-
Tense Region.
This spring campaign in Oma-
ha and elsewhere, he said, should
include all classifications of civil
ian support of the war. He mapp-
ed the strategy" Of the campaign
as follows:
"This is our crisis year, the year
in which every ounce of energy
should be put forth to assure a
good start on the road to victory.
It is up to us or the home front
to exert ourselves to pile up huge
sales of defense bonds and stamps.
Upon all citizens working in de-
Tense industries rests a heavy re-
sponsibility for keeping production
moving at the fastest possible pace
SO that our men on the fighting
fronts shall not lack any of the e.
quipment needed for overcoming
the enemies of liberty.
THE salvage for Victory Cam
paign is well started in the middle
west and should be carried on sys-
tematically to provide maximum
amounts of salvage materials for
war industries.

tory Gardens. Plant now, the
garden experts tell US, and We GER
tainly should not let their advice
go UNDECIDED if we mean to do our
share towards producing enough
garden vegetables for home u.s..
The slogan of the successful home
gardener, 1 am told, is to make the
garden plot productive from frost

civilian defense we have been pro
crossing encouragingly. Now is
the time to concentrate on intens-
i've organization of all units of the

pand to the limit the training

duties requiring special knowledge
for efficient and co-ordinated &C
ton.
"Hitler spouts grandiosely of his
plans for a spring offensive in
Europe. Military experts of the
United Nations assert he will be
blocked on the war front. 1 am
confident that throughout the 9
states of the Seventh Defense Re

WHAT DOES HITLER WANT?
by RUTH TAYLOR

Are we interested in knowing,
how we may please Herr Hitler.
In knowing what he wants us to
do? AS a people, Intentionally or
not we manage to do most of
these things.
He is pleased with any evidence
of disunity. Each time we separ-
ate into groups, and stand upon
the rights of any particular group,
We are pleasing Hitler. For it
was by the aid of such groupings
that he separated the people of
the nations he has conquered and
enslaved.
He is pleased when we are COM
placent. A complacent people is
a lazy people, slow to action,
rocking away too comfortably to
notice the tornado until it is upon
them. We please Hitler with our
over confidence, with our feeling.
that we can't be conquered.
He is pleased when we are Gym
icaIly critical of those whom we
ourselves have chosen to repres-
ent us. Hitler knows that the
best way to befuddle a leader is to
keep c~riticising him. The best
way to slow up action is to make
a leader take off time to explain.
We halt the wheels of progress
when we pause to find fault or
complain.
He is pleased when we stop to
bargain. Those who won't join in
the war effort until they have
"theirs"-whether theirs be pro-
fits, wages, preferential treatment,
or special advantages-are perfect
followers of Hitler-millstones a.
round the neck of the nation.
stumbling blocks in its path.
He is pleased when we allow
hatreds to sway us, when we per-
nit old resentments, fancied
wrongs, unbiased %prejudices to do
inmate u actions, setting class
against class, race against race,
creed against creed. Hitler knows
how this saps a nations strength.
He is pleased when We lack
faith. when We allow the under
current of distrust to bog down
our spirits, when we lose sight IF
the high goal before US. Hitler
knows that a nation whose ideal
is undermined by doubt is half con-
quered.
These are the ways in which we
can please Herr Hitler. But. is
this what we want to do?

This Week In Religion

CHRIST OUR PASSOVER
AND LIFE
8Y P.O5T. L. MOO

Preparation for two great relig-
ious feasts are being made at the
time of this writing. Our Jewish
brethren are preparing to observe
the Passover" while We Christ
ian brethren of various commun-
ions, prepare to observe Easter.
In these days when we "Remem-
Der Pearl Harbor" mankind may
find lasting benefits to remember
that Christ, III passover is sac
rifice for us" 1 Cir. ST. and that
He is come that we MAY have
life and that we may have 1t more
abundantly". Jno. 1910. To have
Christ in this world with the as
surance of eternal life after the
expiration of this one.
The Passover as recorded in Tx
odus 1914 had two objectives.
First, it was to mark destruction
for the Egyptian but salvation and
d~eliverance for Israel. The Israel
ties We're to tell their children of
their experiences and deliverance.
They were to observe it every
year from generation to genera
ton. 1t was a memorial for the
Hebrews.
Secondly, it was a type Of
Christ "the Lamb Of God, which
taketh away the sins of the world"
The Paschal lamb was a type Of
Christ our Redeemer. 1t was to be
without blemish and stain. 1t
was also to be applied in order to
get the best results and assur-
ance Of perfect protection from
judgement. So, Christ is the
Lamb with spot. But in order to
realize the efficacy of his blood,
He too, must be applied to our
hearts by faith. For Except We
repent, We shall all likewise per-
ish" Luke 1873.
Each time we approach the
Lords Supper with its emblem of
bread and wine, we observe it as
a memorial supper as a covenant
between God and saved people Of
every race, color and nation.
1t ~supercedes the Passover
which was literally for Israel,
while the Lords Supper is for ev-
cry SAVED soul. The latter
should be eaten in as much Read
mess as the former.
In a world which is over run
by dictatorship, greed and selfish
ness, life (as we humanity realize
it, is very cheap.
Helpless and innocent men,
women and children are being
killed or worked and starved to
death. Young and old alike love
life. When natural death Seems to
be inevitable, men shrink or dread
it unless their minds are illumin-
ated by hope beyond the grave.
We keep active as long as we can.
But the victorious Christ of the
open sepulchre and the Easter
story, brings us hope which we
can Sc byond this world Of war,

keep their girls locked in a dun
geon cell, shut away from all the
fun that belongs to their time
of life and segregated from asso-
citation with other youngsters,
which is as important part Of
every girls education as learning
to read.
OF course, the parents who
never let their daughters go to
a party unless mamma or papa
takes them and fetches them
home at 10 o'clock; who require
Mamie to come straight home
from school without dawdling
along with any boy and stopping
at the drugstore for an ice cream
soda; who never let Julia learn
to swim or dance or to go any
where with the gang; who would
no more let a boy cross their
thresholds than they would a
snake and who think that no girl
under 20 is old enough to have
a date, honestly believe they are
protecting their daughters.
But nothing could be farther
from the truth. Instead of keep
ing their girls from temptation
they are leading them into it, for
one of the basic principles of hu-
man nature is to crave the thing
that is denied us. Our first
mother risked Paradise for a bite
of the forbidden fruit, and all of
her daughters and granddaugh-
tiers ever since have had the same
hankering after the things that
were taboo to them.
Refuse to let a girl 60 to
nice parties with nice boys in a
nice way and she will go to dance
halls with pick-ups. Lock her in
her room and she will climb out
of the window. The surest way
to make a match is to oppose it.
Thousands of girls have married
drunkards and ne'er-do-wells be-
cause their parents forbade
young men the house. No girls
are so boy-crazy as the girls who
have never been permitted to
have dates. To them every boy
is Prince Charming, the hero
of their romantic dreams, and
they can fall in love with any.
