A Thought for Today
Nazi Jitters

The NaZiS have become victims of the same weapon which they used very effec- lively earlier in this struggle the war of nerves They know that some day soon Anglo-American forces will estab- fish one or more bridgeheads on the con- tinent of Europe, and unless these are destroyed promptly, they will mean the end of Germany as military power. The critical incident in this war will be the creation of those bridgeheads. Once the allies have consolidated a hold on any substantial area where our men and weapons and supplies can be debarked in substantial numbers, the end of the war will be in sight. We have established a oelligerent ring around the European Axis. In Britain is a tremendous con entration of soldiers, armamentS, mu- 1itions, planes and supplies. These threaten Finland, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. They can be aken into the Mediterranean to land n France Italy, Greece or even, under 5ome circumstances, Turkey.
 In North Africa we have powerful orces and also in the Middle East, cap ,ble of striking through France, Italy, Greece, Turkey.
 Wherever we strike we shall have huge IleGCS OI ILle DCSI DOIHDcIS dllu llBlJCLo she world ever has seen, to protect our ,onvoys and cooperate with our land orces, and there is no lack of air bases rom which they can operate.
 The NazS know these things That is Dhy they are jittery.
 AS long as we were in position to strike )nly in limited area, Hitler could count lpon the strong defenseS he has built .long the Atlantic coast, and could keep l relatively small force ready to rush to wherever danger threatened
 But now he cannot tell whether the lttack will come in Finland or Norway, or far away in Greece or Italy. He can even assume that 1t may come simultan- eously in both places, and perhaps at the Asame time along the Atlantic coast in France, Belgium or Holland, When we strike, on second front, powerful armi- ieS of Russian veterans will be ready to cut through any point the Nazis may weaken to reinforce their anti-invasion forces This is going to be a hot summer for Hitler Already he is beginning to sweat in anticipation.

plification of rationing and price con- trols. Retailers are desperately short of able employees. But attainment of great CT operating efficiency has been difficult because of cumbersome government reg ulationS.
 In recent months, the problems of distribution have grown to proportions that actually threatened breakdown in the movement of necessities to consum- CTS. Retailers have warned officials that the steady drain of key employees by the military services and war industries, and unavoidable price and rationing controls, must be corrected.
 If streamlined operating rules for the merchant are actually in the making, they will not have come a moment too soon. The next step should be prompt clarification of the draft status of key employees.
 The merchants, the farmers and the business men will give everything they possess if need be to win the war. But if their efforts are to succeed, govern ment must give, too. It must give CO., operation and intelligent control

Planning Vacations

The time has come to begin planning your vacation. All government war agencies are agreed that production will be benefited if yea will take few days off to rest, relax and refresh yourself mentally and physically. But traditional vacations are out, because neither trans portation nor resort facilities are capable of handling them. So both for your own sake and that of the country, you should start early to find out what, that is pos sible, will do you the most good.
 Touring vacations obviously are impos- Sibe. You will be sorry if you think you can go to some distant resort by train or plane, without suffering more than the change will compensate for. You can't even figure on staying home and driving to shore, golf links and picnic grounds every day.
 One good tip is to avoid the most popu- lar vacation periods, to try to find some resort within 50 miles of home, and then to settle down there and really rest,

The Tragedies of War

The latest tragedy that took the life of the eighth American general to be killed or missing in the war is just one more sorrow and shock to one and all. Again you hear it said - if this awful war were only over. Death and temporary Separ ation have been experienced by practic- ally ever family of our vast country Each individual city and community suffers daily losses some reported killed some missing. Practically all are living un- der a very great strain, in what you might call an unnatural fashion, keyed up every minute for news of something tragic.
 The death in Iceland of Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews, distinguished flying general, commander of all United States forces in the European theater of the war was another tragic event added to the daily casualty listings. One can conceive his great loss to this coun- try and all Allied Nations not to forget what it will mean to those close to him Ill private life. Every suGn casualty is a personal sorrow to all, because the Generals passing is just duplication of what has happened in almost every family in our country.
 With the General was Bishop Adna w. Wright Leonard, Methodist Episco- pal Church head, who was on a global tour of military bases. Daily as startling headlines appear to shock us it is re- peated, will the war ever end? The casualties continue. Sorrow comes to all, and it is an edifying thing to note the Christian resignation in the face of universal sorrow.

Nazi Hunor

It is possible to tell much about an in- dividual, or race, from the type of humor at which he or it likes to laugh. We have thought of the German as heavy-handed Intellectually and as lack ing in many of the finer instincts, The following joke which appeared in the Berliner Illustrierte Zietung confirms that judgment and suggests other pints:
 A wife is dying. Have you got last wish?" asks her husband. "Yes," she replies. Apple tart with cream
 "This isn't the moment to eat," her husband replies sternly, tits the moment to die"
 That could seem funny only to peo pie to whom human life and family af- lection have become incidents and to whom even the idea of edible delicacies has become farcical-to people close to national hySteria.

THIS YEAR MORE THAN EVER KEEP YOUR DOG AT
 HOME.
Editor Of The Democrat:

Editor Of The Democrat:
 For many years the dog has been considered one of mans best friends, but the dog allowed to wander un- controlled by his owner or to join a pack of dogs running through streets or backyardS Is considered anything but friend by the dog owners neighbors.
 This letter is not a condemnation of dogs but is an urgent appeal to all owners of dogs to be fair to their pet and to their neighbor.
 Every dog is entitled to a license and it is the duty of every owner to license his dog. It also is the duty of every owner to control his dog so that he does not damage or destroy the property of another.
 Victory gardens are beginning to sprout in backyards and lots all over the city and straying dog can destroy food so important and so needed by people. If such damage occurs there will be an epidemic of dog poisoning. legally and morally wrong of course, but the result Of i'll tempers caused by the raVages of dogs owned by thoughtless or in- considerate owners.
 The season for orchard and tree spraying is approaching and the loose dog straying through the neighorhood may be poisoned by the sweet tasting lead arsenate. Signs may be placed warning of poison but unfortunately the dog cannot read and sickness or death may be the result. So every dog owner should see that his dog stays at home.
 If it seems impossible for an own er to keep or control his dog any longer, the Humane Society is al- ways willing to dispose of the pet,
 And final plea. Enjoy your dog but keep him under control. Do not make enemies for your dog by allowing him to run; rather. by the common-Sensc method of control ling him at all times, let him con- tinuc to be known as "man's best friend"

None Too Soon

There are growing indications that good news is in the offing for civilians, The retail distribution industry may be relieved of some of the voluminous reg ulatory red tape which is now hamper ing operation. This means, if it actual ly occurs, that merchants can spend more time meeting the needs of customers, and less time filling out government blanks. It would also mean that the regulatory authorities are beginning to realize that a smooth functoning retail distribution system is essential in these critical days,
 Government spokesmen have been cry ing for greater efficiency and better util- iZation of manpower, We have heard grim warnings of labor draft, yet gov ernment has been great offender in causing a waste of manpower The dis tribution industry has pleaded for sim

Press Comment
OUT OF THE SHADOW
(New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Tribune)
 Since Hitler first set the world afire, many figures have stood sharply etched against the flames. Heroic in resistance, fierce or willy in aggressino, leaders of nations have taken on new stature for good or evil. But from the tragic day on which he assumed authority over a stunned and desolated France, Marshal Petain has been vague and shadowy. His course was cratic; the gradual hardening of his regime in- to absolute dictatorship appeared less the product of a determined will than of the pressure of internal and external forces beyond the marshals control; his speeches and public papers were couched in un- precise language, studded with clich- eS.
 |, Some will deny that Petain the statesman is quite so formless as he appears from this distance. They will credit him with virtues or vices more sharply etched, with definite OUJcCIlFeS dlll tt lIOoitANC pOAlCy' ou' the evidence is slight; certainly 1t does not appear in the reports, ad- mittedly fragmentary. of his May Day address to the French people. Here are the old plaints of diff1- culties and hardship; the nebulous hints at attempts at seduction which must be resisted; the even more nebulous promises for the future.
 Once it might have been worth speculating on the significance of Petain's statement that Frenchmen are lon the right road" Many Frenchmen are, under duresS, talk ing the road to Germany to slave for Hitler. More are preparing to move in the same direction. with arms In their hands. when the great day comes. The marshal vainly tried to set himself athwart both roads and turn France into some middle course of his own de- vising. But he failed, and his words have lost all meaning. He is simply shadow, speaking out of the shadows.

Dean Herbert E. Hawkes. of Columbia was an outstanding contributor to lib eral education. Though seventy years of age when he died this week he was ac- tive in all respects so much so that you might say he was at the height of his career. He had advanced ideas on edu- cative systems and was constantly intro ducing innovations for the betterment of education. He was alert and intensely interested in and concerned with the broadening of curricula. He entertained no notions of retiring from the active field of education and one of his well known remarks when questioned as to his retirement after twenty-five years as dean has been much quoted.

 Mckenzie replied that he had just returned from Lovisiana, that farmers in his district were doing "very well" considering the short age of labor and machinery.
 Did you sec my place in COncordia Parish?" asked Chen nault anxiously.
