ers, only one has been planned TO
contain a refrigerator and stove
in the original cost Of the house.
This is Willow Run Housing Cor
poration's 150-house development
in Dearborn.
I'VE realize that such items
are very difficult for the aver
age home owner to secure"
Vincent J. Currier, production
manager of the company, said
Saturday.
"Since this project Is built
under priority assistance from
the War Production Board we
were able to include these neces-
sary items for the householder"
The refrigerator is 1912 model
with 6.3 cubic feet of storage,
space. The first houses to be COM
pleted will contain General Elec-
trio units, the last group will have
Philco boxes of the same capacity
and type.
Gas ranges are the latest type
compact units made by the famous
A. b. Stove Company of Kalama-
700. The stoves have four surface
burners, large oven with temporal
ture control and full sized broiler.
'The equipment is the best
that can be had" Currier said.
Both brand names are widely
known for quality and are built
for n lifetime OF service"
He explained that the equip
ment is an integral part of the
house and therefore becomes part
Of the FHA-inSured mortgage.

PEARL HARBOR AND THE
HIGHWAYS

The wounded from Pearl Harbor
are arriving in the United States.
1t is a spectacle to which the rest
o. the world has long been Injured
China knows it, and Britain, and
Germany, and Italy and Russia.
We must steel ourselves to this and
like things. That is what war
means
The wounded from Pearl Harbcr,
however, have given their lives or
their bodies to a cause that is
worth defending. worth suffering
for. In the month in which they SUI
stained their injuries or met death,
still greater number of people
were struck down by traffic injur-
ips which were no less terrible
and all for nothing. We are suffer-
ing nearly 1000 traffic casualties a
month, resulting in deaths as perm
anent, in wounds as ghaStly, as
those of Pearl Harbor-and for
nothing.
We cannot spare any more in
these days the toll of the road, the
dead who produce nothing. the
wounded who suffer. The Snuffed-
cut lives, the broken bodies, OF those
whom the automobiles has crushed,
are given for nothing at all. a mere
sacrifice to our national Moloch of
careleSSnesS.

War is 4 matter Of faith.

War is 4 matter OF faith.
War is not chess game in which
men sit in favored hooks or safe
withdrawal and solve abstract prob
lens.
War is not balance of forces, in
which some geometrical ratio be-
tween the productive power OF one
group is balanced out on sheet OF
white paper against the productive
power OF another and the whole
resolved into a balanced equation.
War is not c..tirely factory against
factory, gun against gun, plane
against plane. though those are
vital.
War today is not color against
color. or race against race, or even
nation against nation in the sense
in which that was understood a
few years ago. 1t is also men against
men.
War is faith.
We have today conflict of faiths
as we have had so many times in
the worlds past.
We are going to win this war,
for many reasons Not alone be-
cause we will pile up the greatest
mound of munitions, though that
will help, though it is indispensable,
Not alone because we. have at our
disposal the greatest natural re-
sources, though that will help and
that, too, is indispensable.
We are going TO win this war be-
cause we have faith that we must
win.
We are going to win because we
have faith that the things we fight
for are good. and needful to men.
We are going to win because we
shall cleave nightly to our faith.
The other side believes it is or
dained to established q superiority
over other men. The German and
the Japanese believe Uhe Italians
do not really believe it, that they
arc somehow chosen to dominate
others. We believe in the right of
the others to rule themselves. We
wish dominion over none.
The other Sidt believes man is a
puppet, a cog, a unit. We believe
man is a personality, soul, a COL
laborator. We believe he is compet-
ent to get together with his fellow
men and to rule himself. That is the
difference.
We have our faith. They have
theirs. Which faith shall prove
stronger? Which faith shall per-
severe? Which faith is just and
right? Which faith deserves 10
live?
The guns are necessary, The
tanks, and the planes are necessary
The industrial production is nec-
essary, But in addition, there is
needed faith. faith unbending and
uhdying that what we struggle Tor
Is worth survival.
That is the faith that will carry
Us to victory.

ENLIST THEM
NATURALIZE THEM

Thousands of FilipinoS in the
United States are unable, because
Of quirk in the naturalization
laws, to serve III the United States
military forces. Milton Bronner, in
a serviceable story, recently told
how FilipinoS born in the United
State are citizens, but that there
are scme 10000 OF them who were
born in the islands, now reside III
the United States but who are not
under present law allowed to enter
military service under the us. flag
For many years there has been
an increasingly close bond between
FilipinoS and Americans. This bond
is now being eemented in blood.
