WE, THE WOMEN
- WE, THE WOMEN SO THIS WAS THE STORY OF CHRISTMAS, IN 1943
NEA Ac4up4iO.o.

The Browns had noisy Christ mas, the house filled with grown ups, children, and toys. For the Browns two daughters have come home to live for the duration, bringing their four children with them. MT. and Mrs. Brown said 1t was like old times when their own children were little. In spite of feeling that they were perhaps selfish in their enjoyment - they remembered lonely Christmases when all their children were grown and away from home-they found Christmas, 1943, good.
 A HARD DAY TO LIVE
 The Jacksons had to do great deal of pretending on Christmas Day - pretending for each others sake that they were interested in their gifts, pretending this wasn't one of the hardest days in their lives to live through. The Jack sons, you see, had learned only a few weeks before that their youngest son was missing in action.
 Those are just families and houses on an ordinary street in an ordinary town in America. But the same scenes were repeated in other houses, on other streets, in other towns until they became part of the story of Christmas, 1943.

While much of our fear is imag- mary and ridiculous, the fear we find ourselves confronting if often justified, and the situation so haz- ardous that no one can doubt its peril. Ia that case we are com- monly defeated by the fallacy that dangerous situations are necessar- fly undesirable; whereas the fact is that even a fearful danger if it be frankly and openly faced can pro- vide one of the most stimulating experiences in life.
 At first sight our predicament may be terrifying and our initial response consternation. Moreover. for dismay. Life can be cruel and terrible, and anyone who expects to escape that fact is asking for a life at sea without storms. Emer- son even said that He has not learned the lesson of fife who does not every day surmount fear" One major secret of doing that is to feel the stimulus of hazardous oc- casions rather than the dread.
 Love of danger is one of the strongest motives in man. When life does not by itself present men

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

It isn't often that two bridge writ>rs pair up for duplicate game, but I recently had the pleasure of playing with Albert H. Morehead as my partner. We had too little time befo .ehand to discuss our bidding theories" so we got little high on today's hand. Either MT. Morehead thought my three-spade bid showed a power house, or he is a natural optimist, bidding four spades on that South hand.
 After winning the first trick, West led the heart jack and dummy's queen was won by East's ace. A heart return put dummy in and the ace and king of spades drew the op- posing trumps. Now Morehead fig ured that West, with the ace-king of

 Roast rabbit with stuffing is a novelty which may not appeal to some at first thought. However, food technologists at the Services food laboratory at College Park, Md, have recipe which they say produces delicious and attractive dish.
 ODDS AND ENDS
 A new plan for allotting rationed foods to restaurants will go into eff feet in 1944. It is hoped that it will bring about a fairer distribu- tion and avoid the necessity of standardized meals or the collection of ration points for restaurant meals :. . Cranberry by-products- skin. seeds and pulp-are being tried in making cork substitutes and plastics. Cranberries can be used in your kitchen to tenderiza tough cuts of meat. A cupwul of berries tossed into a stew or pot roast flavors and tenderizes.

Love of Danger One of
 Strongest Motives in Man

with enough hazard, they go out looking for it. They seek 1t even in their sports. Mankind from its earliest beginnings was nurtured on danger and is unhappy without it.. Only so can such enterprises be explained as trying to climb Mount Everest or to reach the Poles. Gra- ham Wallas, thinking of the major explorers of the race, finds in the love of danger one of their strong est motives: Perhaps, indeed, 1t is this desire for Fear rather than the impulse of Curiosity which has been the most important single cause of those dangerous journeys" We have not dealt adequately with the problem of eliminating war until in addition to all the social factors we take into account the strong support war has in mans psychology. Wars terrors are hide ous, but at the same time its dang CTS are attractive.
 General Robert E. Lee said in the midst of one of his bloodiest bat ties: Tt is well that war is so ter rible-we should grow too fond of itl" The persistent need of a "mo- ral equivalent of war" springs from the fact that enterprises attrac- lively dangerous, like war but mil
 nus wars insane destructiveness, are a sine qua non of healthy hu- man life.
 Many find this in risky re- searches and explorations, in mis- sionary adventures, in thinking dar- ing thoughts, in pioneering new and unaccepted fields, in cham- pioning unpopular causes, or in compelling themselves habitually in daily life to do things they are afraid of. Thus a character in a modern novel says: "If knew anything, any least little thing, was afraid of I'd go right off and do it-do 1t good and hard"
 When life faces us with danger, therefore, let us make the most of 1t! If we get out of it only or mainly fearfulness and anxiety. that is our doing. Stimulus also is waiting there to be appropriated If we will.
 To stand up to a hazardous situ- ation, to refuse suppression and subterfuge in dealing with it, to face 1t collectively as seaman does a tempest, to tune in not so much on its terror as on its challenge, to let 1t call out in us not our fear fitness but our love of battle, is a healthy, inspiriting experience.
 So Voltaire said: This world Is warfare; I love to carry 1t on, it puts life into me" And so one humble woman, coming out from a second painful operation on her eyes under local anaesthesia orly, knowing that she would never see again, called her two sons to her and said: Nov I'll show you how to take trouble. How you take 1t is the only thing about it that's im- portant."

BY ANN STEVICK NEA Staff COrrespOndent

Washington. Dec. 24-The com- plete hunter this year will be a one- man salvage crew. He is asked by the Fish and Wildlife Service to save hides from deer and elk, fats from fur-bearing animals, feathers from wild ducks and wild geese, and discharged shotgun shells and rifle cartridges.
 Hides makes gloves and boots for soldiers in cold areas. Down and small body feathers of ducks line high altitude flying suits for avi- ators. Two national conservation agencies have established feather collecting depots-the Izaak Wal ton League, 280l South Halstead Street. Chicago, III. and Ducks Un- limited, Columbia St., Seattle, Wash.

considerable discounting of Allied

Idle investment funds still were

frightened on the idea purchases
could be made at more favorable
levels. The technical continuation
of a bull market given by the rails
last week, when they finally went
through their years peak, failed to
bring the extension of the general
upswing and this caused many GUS
toners to tighten commitments.
Naval warnings of overoptimism for
a quick ending of the world con-
f1ict also dimmed sentiment bit.
Irregularly improved prices at the
start were succeeded by midday
reaction which carried numerous
issues down fractions to 2 points or

treat. There we're subsequent slow
