Actual rationing will begin some
time in February, and will be run
on the point system that allots
certain number of points to each
ration ticket, depending on the sup
ply of the particular commodity
covered.
In announcing the rationing.
Wickard made a strong plea to all
people to avoid a buying rush that
would deplete grocers' stocks. De-
spite this plea boarding was re-
ported on wide scale the day after
the announcement was made.
Unions and consumer organizations
have criticized this method of an
nouncing rationing for some date in
the future as direct tip-off to peo-
pie who like to hoard.
However, Wickard announced
at the same time that all ration
bOokholders would be required to
state how much they have on
hand when the order goes into
effect. so that any surplus can be
deducted as was done with coffee
and sugar. Severe penalties are
provided for false statements.
WAR NEEDS
Rationing is based entirely on
war needs, both Wickard and Elmer
Davis, chief of the Office of War
Information. pointed out in radio
speeches announcing the move. In
addition to food sent to our own
armed forces. considerable supplies
are sent to our allies and to areas
where United Nations armies oper-
ate.
This food saves American lives,
they explained. because it goes to
Russians and British who are kill
ing NaziS that otherwise might live
to kill our men, or have to be
killed by them.
Despite rationing, Americans
will continue to eat comfortably,
In fact better than any other ma
ton involved in the war. without
1t, as the CLIO has long pointed
out, war workers would have to
go without essential foods and
thus be unable to keep war pro-
duction at top levels.
Universal, democratic rationing
has long been a major plank in
CLOS victory program, not only as
the only fair means of passing
around existing supplies but also
as the only means of assuring
needed foods to war workers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s1-The
people of the world dare not
muff their second opportunity in
q generation to build an inter-
national commonwealth based
on democracy, economic secur-
lily and justice, Vice-Pres. Hen
ry Wallace declared this week.
The nations leading spokesman
for the postwar aims of the COM
mon man, Wallace spoke on the
S6th anniversary of the birth Of
Woodrow Wilson, who tried unsuc-
cessfully at the end of World War I
to construct a democratic new
world.
In the intervening years, the
United States "has learned her les
son" and should be ready to COOP
crate with the other nations of the
world in a genuine effort to rid war.
dictatorship and hunger from the
earth, Wallace declared.
OBVIOUSLY, the United Nations
first must have machinery which
can dissrm and keep disarmed
those parts Of the world which
would break the peace" Wallace
asserted.
INTERNATIONAL COURT
"Also, there must be machinery
for preventing economic warfare
and enhancing economic peace be-
tween nations. Probably there will
have to be an international court
to make decisions in cases of dis
pute.
"And an international court
pre-supposes some kind Of world
council, 30 that whatever world
system evolves will have enough
fIexibility to meet changing cir
cumstances rs they arise.
"The aim would be to preserve
the liberty, equality, security and
unity of the United Nations-liber-
ty in a political sense, equality OF
opportunity in international trade.
security against war and business
depression due to international
causes, and unity Of purpose in pro-
noting the general welfare of the
world"
PUNISHMENT
But. the is. Vice-President re-
minded the nation, democratic Sc
curity cannot be built while the
fascist aggressors still hold sway.
Military victory must be followed
by punishment of the guilty-not
revenge for the sake of revenge"
but rather to undo so far as posi-
BILE the diabolical work of Hitler
and the Japanese warlords in pois-
oning the minds of the young"
That may require United Ma
tions supervision Of German and
Japanese school systems as part Of
a general psychological and mill
tary disarmament of the fascists.
Economic reconstruction, Wallace
said, will be a prime necessity In
the post war world to avert ser
les of economic storms" and the
stronger nations "can provide guild
ance, technical advice and in some
cases capital investment to help
those nations which are just start
ing on the path of industrializa-
ton"
FULL EMPLOYMENT
If this country can provide full
employment in wartime, it should
and must be able to do likewise in
peace, the Vice-President declared.
The man ON the street will de-
mand an answer, Wallace added,
"and the returning soldier and
sailor will demand an answer
and this will be the test Of states

as ability to cooperate with other
nations for peace and improved
living standards will be the test

A big washing on the line is often
the best contribution a housewife
can make to the effort Of men who
are engaged in war production. The
willingness Of the housewife to 1aun-
der the extra garments which in
sure the men Of daily changes has
a direct bearing upon production.
Cleanliness not only builds morale,
which is reflected in q mans output,
but it guards against skin diseases
which may cause him to lose pre-
cious days Of work. At the end of
hard working day the underwear
and work clothes are usually soiled,
and may also be saturated with
perspiration. II these garments are
worn a second or third day they are
not only evil-smelling but they may
carry bacteria in the meshes Of the
fabric which may cause a rash or
irritation. From the housewives
point Of view there is another adj
vantage in having work clothes worn
only one day. They are easier to
wash, need less scrubbing, and
therefore give better service.

The Treasury Department esti-
mates that the Victory tax will raise
approximately $4,000, 900, 900. Every
person receiving more than $12 per
week must pay the Victory tax upon
that part Of his income over and
above the $l2. For example, mar
ried man with a salary Of $50 per
week, with two dependents, would
make only a net payment Of $1.06
per week after allowance for post
war credit.
The Government has made every
effort to make the impact of the
new tax as light as possible. The
law, in effect, provides that in the

income is from wages or salary, 40

$500 Planes Fly Over
Train.Bound Chicaqoens

No matter how great their hurry,
thousands Of travellers pause each
day on entering Chicago's Union sta
ton to gaze upon one Of the most
impressive war displays In the coun-
try. A dozen huge colored murals
and $500 model airplanes have
transformed the walls and ceiling
of the stations vast concourse into
q compelling war bond message.
On the west wall of the concourse
a 40-foot mural depicts shower Of
war savings bonds descending on
the Capitol. On the opposite wall,
220 feet distant, a similar-sized MUIR
al shows another shower, only
bombs instead Of bonds, plunging
through the clouds onto q target
marked by the Nazi swastika. The
first mural bears the words, "For
Us Bonds" while the second
reads, "For Them Bombs"
Between the murals an armada OF
1850 scale model American fighter
and bomber planes hang suspended
go feet above the floor. Ranging
from Widespread Of IN to Az feet,
the planes all point in the direction
Of the enemy mural.
Thanking the large murals and
along the side walls Of the station,
10 smaller murals portray the va
rious fighters on the home and mill
tary fronts and also pay tribute to
the part played by labor and the
railroads in the nations war effort.
Each Of these murals Is 80 feet
high. A display Of the flags Of the
United Nations completes the ex-
hibit.

A Lecture on
Christian Science
Entitled
Christian Science: The Truth
about God and Man
William d. Fitzpatrick, C.S.B.

William d. Fitzpatrick, C.S.B.
of Detroit, Michigan
Member Of the Board of Lectureship Of

Christ. Scientist, in Boston. Massachusetts,
Times like the present must give
pause to the man who is inclined. to
think and weigh events in the light Of
intelligent analysis. One cannot look
upon world torn with strife, war,
hatred, and all the baser passions Of
men, without some contrasting or con-
tradicting emotions. The question is
bound to suggest itself to the thought
full as to just where the onus of guilt
must rest for the mental and moral
upheaval which seems to be tearing
down and destroying the spiritual and
intellectual building Of the Christian
era. Where, one might ask, does
Christianity fit into this picture Of
moral desolation? What, in the light
of present-day savagery and sunre-
strained rapine, has the Bible accom-
plished in the hundreds of years it has
been looked upon as guide and man.
ual for the conduct of Christian men
and nations? One might be tempted
to question within himself-Is there a
God? If so, why all this murderous
destruction, this strife between Chris
tian peoples, this cancerous growth Of
hate, jealousy, and revenge?
These inner questionings Of the hui
man consciousness, these doubts which
stealthily and insistently steal into
thought, these suggestions of pessi-
mism and skepticism, are not without
justification; and except for the ex-
PLANTATION and light which Christian
Science throws upon the Bible and the
teachings Of the prophets, Jesus, and
the apostles, ! am doubtful whether
convincing reconciliation of the pres
ent with the unequivocal promises of
Holy Writ could be evolved. How
ever, through the revelation Of the
spiritual significance of Bible teach
ings which Mary Baker Eddy, the Dis
coverer and Founder of Christian Sci
ence, has given to the world in her
book, Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" and other writings,
the seeming antiquities, inconsistent
cies, and contradictions which present
day conditions emphasize, are ex-
planned and all doubts and misunder-
standings are replaced with the spir-
itual conviction and assurance which
comes with the enlightenment thus
provided.
l am convinced that divine proph-
ecy, expressed through the pages of
the Bible from cover to cover, is today
being fulfilled not only in the history
of the human race but also in the ap-
pearance at this time Of Christian
Science as a world movement las the
Comforter" which Jesus foretold and
promised would lead us into all truth.

has purchased certain War Bonds,

ance premiums equal to the amount
of this credit. In the case of single
persons this credit will be IS percent
of the Victory tax paid Cup to a
maximum Of $500). Should the Vic
tory tax credit exceed the individu-
ais Federal income tax, the unused
portion of the credit may be refund
able to the taxpayer.
Even with the Victory tax, the
1913 income tax, and all other taxes
paid by individuals, the average
American will have more money
with which to buy War Bonds than
he has ever had before. Here are
the statistics which explain that
statement:
In 1910 the total income payments
made to the American people
amounted to about 76 billion dollars.
In that same year the total personal

Suggests Bowlers Display
War Work Profession

Here, bowlers, is a pretty good
idea-one that will allow you to iden-
tify yourself with the work you're
doing to help Uncle Sam bowl those
strikes against the Axis.
Thousands of you fellows land
girls, too-in all parts of the coun-
try are engaged in vital war pro-
duction work. Many Of you would
like to join up and take a personal
crack at Hitler and his stooges, but
age, dependents and the Importance
of your work in many cases makes
it imperative that you fight on the
home front.
So, why not get uniform-or bet
ter, some identifying emblem on
your bowling shirt or uniform that
will tell the world the specific kind
of war production work you are en-
gagged in.
For example, suppose you work
for a giant airplane producing plant.
Your insignia on your bowling shirt
or uniform would be pair of wings.
If the various departments Of this
plane company have their own
leagues, you can identify the de-
partment you work in-whether you
build motors, wings, struts, fuse
lagos, etc.
If you are engaged in tank pro-
duction, your emblem is a tank. II
you make shells, that's your identi-
flying symbol, and so on for guns,
ships, jeeps, or whatever you help
produce to make the world safe for
the American way.
