Today, the war ledger is replete
with entries on the credit side for
the United Nations. The Axis had
been ousted completely from Africa,
the Mediterranean was under vir-
tually complete control of the AL
lies, Sicily had been conquered and
Italy invaded. Italy had surren-
dered and its government had de-
clared war on its former partner.
In Russia, an abortive German Of
fenSive had been turned back and
the Red Army had pounded Hit
ler's legionS back toward the Polish
and Rumanian borders.
In the South Pacific, strategic
Japanese strongholds on New Gui-
nea had been crushed, large part
of the Solomons regained and the
major enemy bastion on Rabaul
New Britain island, was seriously
threatened. The japanese had been
driven out of the North Pacific and
their bases, one barely 1000 miles
from Toxic, subjected to the
smashing attack of far-ranging
American airmen. In quick open
Ing mid Pacific offensive our land
sea and air forces had taken the
Gilbert Islands from the Japs.
American submarines had destroyed
more than third of Japan's
shipping and seriously impaired
its communication and sup
ply lines.
That picture on this second an
nivcrsary of the attack on Pearl
Harbor served as the background
for Prime Minister Winston
Churchills recent utterances that
the wars climax should be reached
in 1914.
Japs Quit Boosting
Two years ago Japanese Admiral
Yamamoto boosted that he would
dictate the peace terms in the
White House. He is dead and so
is his boast. Now the Japanese are
talking not Of victory, but of sur
vival.
Just about two years ago, Hitler's
submarines embarked on a grand
campaign to smash the Allied At
lantic supply lines. Today the AL
lies are sinking submarines faster
than Germany can build them. In
the last six months at least $50
U-boats have been destroyed. And
the Allied conveys are pouring men
and supplies into the European
combat zones with little interior
ence from the undersea raiders.
Secretary of the Navy Knox said
recently that the United Nations
now control the air throughout the
world, the surface of the seas and
the sub-surface. And American
troops. together with their Allies,
are demonstrating that on land
they are more than a match for
the battle hardened German army.
But the tougher. bloodier battles
are still ahead, both in Europe and
in the Pacific. Germany is re-
ported to have at least 400 divisions
in existence. Its air force is still
mighty, though widely diffused.
Japan still controls much of it's
stolen empire and is fighting the
Allied advance with a fanatic dis
regard for men and materials.
Already the United States has
an armed force of 100000 men.

MILK MEN STRESS
METICULCUS CARE
Safe Method of Home Pas

Health Officials

Since 1t is highly desirable to
have all milk pasteurized to make it
safe for human consumption, 1t is
well to learn a safe method for pas
teurizing milk at home in case the
public supply is not obtainable.
This is the advice given by the
State Department Of Health in the
current issue Of its monthly bulletin.

If a dependable thermometer is

ACCELERATED SEASON

Suddenly everything seems TO go flooey
When join that long p. O. line queue
Several big packages claSped in our arms
Has Xmas mailing lost most Of Its charms?
Where the Of yesteryear?
When about such early mailing We did not hear
Before Indian Summer had completed its run,
When doing up and mailing were lots Of fun
How have come to this state Of things2
Are confusion and chaos all the Xmas shopping brngS2
Where the DEFENDERS of tranquility and ease
When shopping and mailing were just as you please
Suddenly everything seems TO be in middle,
Most OF gathered about in a huddle,
In these days of the holly and Yue,
Awaiting each day different rule
In this December Of nineteen forthy-three
We're scarcely of Christmas tree,
One can hardly say how the season Is dated
Since everything has become so accelerated EN- e.

LOS ANGELES - Frowning on

DDS to eliminate absenteeism, a
survey released March 25 by the
west coast aircraft industry shows
that 75f6 of absenteeism is caused
by illness.
The survey, regarded by govern
ment officials as the first Eau
thentic" industrial analysis of abb
senteeism, was made by west coast
members of Aircraft War Produc-
tion Council, Inc.
A uniformly higher rate of abb
senteeism among women is reveal
ed, confirming the need for child
care centers and safety and health
programs stressed by unions.
The survey recommends estab-
lishment of labor-management
absentee committees in the plant
which could also work with com.
munity groups to solve transpor-
tation and housing problems.
A number of firms participating
in the survey have already insti-
tuted child care programs, trans
portation programs, coordinated
housing efforts and interchanges

Lynn Says:

Tie a String Around Your
Finger: The technique's diff
ferent when you do your own
vegetables - and you must
keep these pointers on tap if
you would get the most out
of them:
Peel potatoes thinly-their
mineral treasures are hidden
right under that skin.
Use green vegetables as
soon as possible after buy
ing. They lose quantities of
their vitamin c just sitting
and being exposed to air.
Add dressing Immediately
to vegetables and fruits after
cutting them. The coating
prevents some vitamin loss.
Put away the soda box
when cooking green vege-
tables. It's alkaline and de-
stroys vitamins.
Shell peas or lima beans
only just before using. Wash
leafy greens just before cook
ing. The percentage of vita
min loss will be lessened.
Start cooking frozen foods
thawing. 1t is believed
ht less vitamin C is de-
= sfoyed by that method.
