TUNDRA
By AUDREY HENDERSON

Walking down Front Street this morning dropped into the Nome Drug Store and bought number or magazines that had come in on the boat. I hastily scanned through the pages and noticed in particular some of the news ti- ties. Predictions here and there like "The War Will Be Over Soon," ''War Will Be Ended by Christmas", The War Will Be Won by l945.' Articles in news paper columns telling how the American people are getting tired of the war. That we are snug, eomplacent, and very optimistic That we aren't observing the rules of rationing boards and la bor boards and what have you -. That we are rash, pig-headed, stupid. Well,s maybe
 Just suppose you are home and you're eating dinner. The door, bell rings you hurry to the door thinking that it means an evening of pan with a next door neighbor You open the door, and there stands boy just like your boy.
 MT. Smith live here?" he asks.
 I'm MT. Smith," you say.
 .Telegram for you!" he replies.
 You hastily tear the telegram open and read, "The War Depart inent regrets to inform you :" Your very heart and head seems to burst into flame, and the tears rush from your eyes. You bury your head in your hands, and you cant eat. You think of that little boy you will never see again, of bread and jam, fishing trips, Sunday school, Christmas, and his first pair of longies.. And you sit down and think of what they" have done to him. A white hot heat fuses inside your heart. You calm down and a cold mad ness seizes you. You're good and mad. You're no longer snug or complacent or tired. You pant to get your hands on a gun. Must you wait? Yes you must! Because your actions today can do more to determine the fate of some soldiers life tomorrow. But you can get. mad now and stay mad. Let us not be snug, com placent, and optimistic! Let us not be rash, pig-headed and stu pid! This war is too big and it means too much You can't make bum of an issue like that.
