AUAre Brave Who
Fight For Truth
BY RUTH TAYLOR

1t is only natural 10 boast of our
of our brave men fighting our battles
on land. sea and in the air. But we
must be careful that this boasting does
not become Dragging or Self-glOritica-
tiOn. that il not be done at the expense
of others who are fighting just as
bravely and at as great or at even
greater sacrifice
"All are brave who fight for truth"
Noel Coward wrote that line in the
recent poem in which he brought out
50 clearly the common ground between
the great Anglo-SaX0n nations.
This is not time for sorting out who
has done the most or been the braveSt
All are brave who fight for truth. All
who struggle against tyranny, who try
to bring freedom to oppressed and per-
secuted peoples of the nations of the
earth. who slave and sacrifice to bring
about Il better and finer world, are
heroes.
This war no nation wins" This is
not Il war in which the victor may
claim the Spoils. We are fighting to
drive tyranny from the face of the
earth. We know full we'll that the COST
of modern war is SO great that all of
us will face the peace impoverished
We know that those who win will have
the StupendouS task of bringing back
to normal life devastated lands and
terror haunted peoples. We know the
fortunate will have to help the I'M
fortunate so that both may survive. 1t
is Il task that will require Il unity of
purpose surprising that of war.
Let there be no pickering among
allies. among those who fight Il com
mon cause for the preservation of the
whole, that the integral parts may be
preserved. Jefferson once said. The
only contest between divided friends
should be who will dare farthest into
the ranks of the common enemy" That
should be our competition, not the
Squabbling of children as to whose
turn it is, or who ran the fastest. We
must fight as Il team, each where he
can best serve. t.
The only real victory from this war
will be, as Noel Coward phraSed it:
when all the battles cease
Then, if we've learned by mutual en-
durance,
BY dangers shared, by fighting side BY
side.
To understand each other then we'll
forge Il pride
Not in ourselves, but in our Joint
assurance
TO the whole world, when all the earn
age ends,
That men can still be free and still be
friends"
If we can prove that, we will have
won II victory indeed, for in the unity
of friendship, we will be able to build
Il world free from war, free from ag-
grpSSion, free from fear.

Office Women Quit
Jobs For More Pay
Shifting To Better Positions
Is Easier Than Coping
With WLB Rules

White-collar women have found
their own way to beat the wage freeze.
Thwarted i'm their attempts To get in
creaseS by ignorance of Government
regulations or by employers unwilling
to apply for them To the War Labor
Board. they are quitting their jobs by
the hundreds to take others at higher
salaries.
Although no figures on turnover are
available. Government, employer. EN-
ployea and union representatives
agreed with employment agency ofli-
cialS that there had been a large in
crease in the number of office women
who pick up and move at regular
intervals because they want more
money.
''Do You blame me for Quitting?"
one Stenographer asked. Having work
ed Il year for SD week. she felt she
needed more money to buy necessary
winter clothes. "ThereS no reason why
shouldn't haveNthe extra money, any
how" she said, "becauSe most of the
girls from my class at business school
are already making $50"
Government job and wage freezing
regulation have done little to stop this
intlatiOnary movement. While Il woman
employed by Il company considered
essential cannot get another job with
out II certificate of availability, many
such companies that do not have war
contracts permit their lowpaid office
workers To leave. If her employer does
have war orders to fill the worker
ordinarily is asked to work overtime
and thus receive enough extra pay 10
meet her needs.

I ruffic Toll Up
1879 In October
SufetY Council Reports First
Increase Since Curbs Be-
cume Effective

Chicago ULNS). = The nations
traffic toll went up 1S per cent in Oc-
tober-the first increase since war
time travel restrictions were imposed,
the National Safety Council says.
The council was unable to put its
finger on specific reasons for the in
crease, partly because October travel
figures are not vet available. But
Donald S. Berry, director of the Traf-
tic and Transportation division, of the
council, pointed ont factors that may
have contributed to the sharp rise.
They are:
/. October this year was competing
against October of last year-a month
that brought the largest percentage
drop ever recorded for any one month
from the same period of the preceding
year. The October, 1942, drop was Al
percent.
Many Disregard Curbs
2. The numberical death toll of Octo-
ber, 1912, was more than 200 below
either September or November of that
year, whereas normally the October
toll equals or exceeds either of those
months.
g. 1t was in October last year that
the :'5-mile speed limit was imposed
4. Reports indicate 4 tendency on
the part of many drivers to disregard
wartime traffic restrictions in the OPP
timistic belief that victory is just
around the corner.
>. 1t is possible that there has been
a recent increase in mileage that would
account almost entirely for the sud
den rise in traffic deaths.
"NO Automatic Solution"
but none of these factors said
Berry, 'can alter the fact that the
October increase provided definite
proof that even wartime restrictions
are no automatic solution to the ma
tions traffic safety problem, as many
people apparently believe.
1T is now evident that America has
cashed in on the bonus savings in
human life that accompanied these re-
strictionS, and that any future reduc-
tioTfS in the traffic toll must be earned
the hard way.
"The situation is made more acute
by the fact that the nation is heading
into the Christmas season, when the
holiday rush and winter weather com
bine to pile up Il heavy toll

lower spine, with damage to the spinal

He was removed at once to White
Cross Hospital where he remained i'm

condition was so serious that he re-
quired special nursing care during this
entire period.
In the early stages, several operative
procedures were attempted, and it was
felt that the patient could not con
tinue to live, but although he had Il
complete para ySiS from the waist
down, which included paralysis of the
bowels and bladder, he not only con
tinned to live but reached the point

artistic inclination of painting and
wood carving.
AS the years went by, large pressure
sores developed on his body, and the
pain at the site of his fractured spine
became more severe, and more and
more opiates had to be administered to
alleviate his suffering
In 1899, new specialists were called
in, and after consultation, in the
claimants presence, ii was decided to
do a very dangerous operation i'm the

hope of dendening all pain in the lower
part of his body and of eliminating

COOKIES APPRECIATED

voted to send four patches of cook
les each month, to be baked by club
members, to a Spokane Service
Mems club, as a project for the

real service it was giving or the
gratitude that would be felt until
receipt of the following letter sent
to Mrs. Marion Zimmerman, presi-
dent, from Mrs. H. B. Graybill of
the Servicemen's Center, Spokane.
Dear Members:
Please accept our most sincere ap-
probation of your recent contribu-
ton to our cookie supply here at
the center. We feel our prayers were
certainly answered as your huge
box arrived at time when we were
completely out of cookies, and we
felt very disheartened when a serv-
ice man expectantly approached the
empty counter.
Because we are entirely depend
ent upon the cooperation Of organ
izations and individuals for the
enormous amount of cookies con-
sumed by the hundreds of soldiers
and sailors who visit us here we
are greatly indebted to all of you
who so kindly assist us.
If all who contribute, however,
could see what real satisfaction and
pleasure the boys derive from this
touch of home we are sure our per-
sonal thanks would be well under
stood
