WORK. WORK. WORK!

One of the most striking ar
ticles in the Sunday Daily
News to me is, The Seven
Sentence Sermons. | usually
cut them out for future refer
ence. A few weeks ago I cut
out one which struck me most
forcible. 1t reads: absence
of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is mind
distressed" Cowper.
In one word Cowper says
Work" Well, may we make
this our slogan today, for the
world needs more and more
workers. There has always been
plenty of work to do and few
people to do it. Today the die
ma that the world at large is in
all because of such conditions
is worse than before. We can
only hope that others will
catch the CLEAN Of the need OF
workers and put their shoulders
to the wheel.
In his book on "Work and
Happiness" DR.. Frank Crane
says, "For the fact is that the
happiest people in the country
are those that get up and go tc
work. The people that eat
breakfast in bed and work
when they feel like it, or not
at all, are mostly seekers fol
trouble; yes, and finders there.

be happy besides.
Today as never before the
laborer is coming to the fore
front-he is in demand. And
why not? On the shoulders of
the laborer rests the burdens
Of the world. 1t is he who digs
the foundation for our great
buildings, he digs the bitches in
which we place the pipes to
carry our gasoline and other
necessities of life, he does the
menial chores of life and until
now many have attempted to
high-hat him. A woman, who
laundered clothes for a honest
living has been classed almost
to herself, but today the de-
mand for laborers is great and
the reward is likewise great.
High wages are inducing labor
ers to hold their own, so if our
government can recognize our
basic builders, it beehoves us to
do likewise.
And greatest of all, Christ
recognized the laborer. At one

Belief that Gen. George c.

was expressed today by two
leading service publications.
Both unofficial publications,

recent meetings between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill had brought
about a decision not to make
Marshall the generalissimo of

tative reports earlier that Mar
