SAVING AN OLD WORLD

China has been Il going concern.
with its history reaching back to
2205 b. c. The Emperor Hirohito
of Japan is the 124th of his line.
The two countries have done a lot
of fighting within their own terri
tory and against one another. A
few years ago there was lot of
resentment against the policy of
the United States Government
which permitted the collection of
scrap. iron and steel in this cOun-
try. TO be shipped to Japan where
il was used in the manufacture of
cannon balls to bomb China. In
these latter years a small group
of strong Chinese men and women
undertook what seemed to be the
impossible job of uniting the Chi
nese to defend their country against
the oncoming barbarians of Japan.
Then we began to hear of General
issimo Chang Kaishek and his wife
Nine. Chang Kai-shek. who have
stood at the head of the Chinese
government and directed the de-
fense of China. Within the past
few years the United States has
gradually withdrawn its commerce.
it's trade and its scrap away from
Japan. The. climax came at Pearl
Harbor. The tide of sympathy for
China has swept like tidal wave
over America. a fact has been
proved in Washington by the way
in which our own government and
our own people have received Nine.
Chang. This little woman has
been in Washington. and she has
the Congress. More than
that she has been the most power
full influence in strengthening the
determination of our own admins
trative and legislative branches to
free China and push that ancient
country out upon the new highways
of civilization.

THE 'MAGIN0T LINE" OF
SECURITY

In a recent speech on the ma
tion's postwar economic problems
Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold said:
For the past ten or twenty years
we have been Obsessed with
the economics of security. We have
been thinking of stabiliZing profits,
keeping fool from losing his mon
ey, social security. ironing out de-
pressions. creating a situation
where anybody who remained sober
and didn't run off with somebody
else's wife was assured of a COM
Portable old age.
Il am not opposed to any of these
methods of social security or hu-
manitarian measures. only say
that if your whole thinking is OBJ
sessed with the idea of security,
the same thing will happen to your
industrial structure that happened
to the French Army that was OBJ
sessed with the idea of the Maginot
Line. We must get back to the old
economics of opportunity, of taking
a chance, which made America
great. and I think this war is go
ing to do it for u.s."

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
COUNT YOUR PENNIES AND
MAKE YOUR PENNIES COCNT
By ELEANOR N. WILKINSON
Nutritionist for the State board Of Health

Defense jobs and high wages not
withstanding, there are many fami-
lies in Delaware who are yet in the
low-income group. III many homes
money left for the food budget is
often lower than it should be to
maintain health. Rent, fuel, and
insurance must be paid each week,
regardless of other needs. That
flexible item, the grocery balance,
is drawn on whenever something
out of the ordinary is needed. The
family has no Sunday chicken din
ner and Jimmy gets new shoes. If
the grocery balance is too depleted,
lowered resistance and vigor can
result. We have had this fact
horribly demonstrated in conquer
ed Europe but if we look around us
we may see it in listless, anemic
children in our own neighborhoods.
April 4 to IL is National Negro
Health Week. 1870 of Delaware
residents are colOred. Studies show
that most Negro families have low
incomes, because of the sort of jobs
available to them. From this we
might conclude that at. least 1870
of Delawareans live on a limited
food budget. This is doubtless true
for many white families have to
count pennies for food too. How
ever, the fact that family spends
little money for food does not
necessarily mean that health will
be impaired. Negro women have
long enjoyed the reputation of be-
ing good managers and expert
cooks. BY selecting food wisely
and making the best use of that
food, the Negro family is often
healthier than white families with
comparable experience and income.
The typical Negro housewife has
long been using some foods the rest
of us have begun to value only in
recent years. She has always
bought pork liver. stewing meats,
potatoes, greens, yellow cornmeal.
evaporated milk and whole grain
cereals to be cooked at home.
These are highly nutritious foods
which have much to contribute TO
any familys health. This typical
has learned what food
her family needs. Ii she has little
time to prepare meals she plans
ahead and has simple. easily pre-
pared foods which supply the pro-
tective values her family needs.
She reads of better ways of pre-
pairing food. Now she cooks her
greens only until they are done and
Omits soda. She knows that the
longer she cooks her cabbage, the
more indigestible it becomes and
The more color. flavor and food
value is lost. Thus through saving
md using every bit of value from
'ood she serves. she is making a
big contribution to her family's
health.
In 1912 the U. S. Public Health
Service presented a certificate of
merit to Delaware in recognition
If both the achievements of Negro
Health Week and a year-round
lealth program. This is an honor
lot lightly bestowed and we should
appreciate the plans and effort
which have resulted in this award.
The health of any group in the
tate affects the welfare of all, and
We gladly give Negro Health Week
'ur support and interest. |

STRAWS IN THE WIND

Martin Dies, Chairman of the
Dies Committee, made an attack ON
radical bureaucrats'" and crack
pots" ON the floor of the House and
he suggested that the way to get
rid of them was for Congress to
withhold funds from agencies en-
ploying such persons. Democrats
and Republicans joined in ap-
plause. AS usual, Dies furnished
particulars, and this time he named
40 Government employees whose
records he said would make
crystal clear just what we mean
by irresponsible. unrepresentative,
crackpot and radical bureaucrats. +"
The Administration has never liked
Dies. or the Dies Committee. but
Congress has continued the organ
izatiOn. notwithstanding.
Another straw in the wind has
been furnished by Rubber Adminis-
traitor Jeffers who is described in
a Washington newspaper as a bull
necked Irishman who rose from Of
fee boy to president of the Union
Pacific Railroad" He is doing his
own job in his own way. After
wordy row with the Undersecretary
of War Patterson and Undersecre-
tary of the Navy FOrrestal, he told
a Committee of Congress: "The
Army and Navy think you can take
this country off rubber-I say you
can't" He followed that remark
with a bill of particulars that left
no doubt in the minds of the law
makers about his determination
and ability. to "bull through" the
rubber program, desDite the belief
that Patterson and Forrestal evil
IDENTIFY think that the bull might
have got into china shop.

RELIGION IN BOOKS
BY Roy L. TAWEs

THE BIBLE is HUMAN, by
Louis Wallis. Columbia University
Press, New York. $3.50. AS i'm
piled by the title this is Bible his
tory written from the secular view
point. The author contends thai
the real nature of Bible history has
been obscured by dogmas and con-
ventionalism, and that the secular
experiences of Israel in the land OF
Canaan furnishes the foreground
not only for democracy but for the
social gospel also. Although he
takes them to task, the strictly
orthodox should read after this
author. There is valuable hstudy
in the economic and social forces
at work in the life of ancient Israel.
There is the sense of crisis as re-
ligiOn resists the pressures of an
environment that would oppress
and enslave. While the book deals
with Old Testament history, the
author adds a final chapter touch
ing upon the New Testament. This
reviewer is not impressed that the
book is entirely negative in con-
tent. The author does not rid him
self of the supernatural. So he
sees the tremendous importance of
God for today. THE Cross becomes
the symbol of the spiritual process
which Yields the conception of God
into the heart of the struggle for
better world. whose broadening
perspective includes the regenera-
ton of the individual. the salvation
of society. and a faith i'll Eternity
which gives worth TO the problems

THE ROOT AND FLOWER OF

first to the last chapter. The author

Germ for prayer. He would lift

hills of faith whence our help
Prayer is constituted by
the needs we feel and the ends we
