Anne de Guiqne

Easter this year has a very special
significance to some people over the
sea in France and others here in
America. 1t happens that the an
nual celebration of the Resurrection
of the Saviour of Mankind in 1943
occurs on the latest date possible
under, the provision stipulated by the
Council of Nicaea in 325 AID. But
April Is already had a particular
significance to those persons on both
sides of the Atlantic who are glad
and proud to consider themselves
friends of Anne de Guigne, the little
holy child of Annecy-le- -Vieux, who
was born on that date in 1911.
Her life was not long, nor was it
remarkable for prodigies such as are
attributed to other infant saints"
The facts, given in the biography
written by the Reverend Father
Etienne Lajeunie, are simply these:
Anne was the first of the four chill
dren of Count Jacques de Guigne
and his wife Antoinette de Charette.
She was descended from the King
of France better known as Saint
Louis, and on her mothers side was
associated with a family of great piety
and devotion. Her father, a lieu
tenant in the Chasseurs Alpins, was
thrice wounded and then killed in
battle, July Is, 1915. His death
appears to have affected his small
daughter in a peculiar way: It made
her spiritually mature. She received
her first communion at the Chapel
of Saint Gertrude in the convent of
the Auxiliatrice Sisters at Cannes,
March 26, 1917, when she was not
yet six.
What followed was nothing in
credibly marvellous. Anne's perfectly
natural interest In religion became
a power in the experience OF all who
met her. Whether or not she is
entitled to beatification is the subject
of an informative process" author.

Our Paramount Enemy

From the London News OF the World
True, the last four months have wit
messed a greater killing of U-boats than
any other period of the war, and "F'eb-
ruary returned the best results of ALL"
but the First Lord did not for one
moment suggest that the peril will not
increase or deny that there is still
probably larger output of Hitler's SUBJ
marines than the total destroyed. OBJ
viously then, the U-boat, hunting as
lone-raider or in wolfpack strength, is
still our paramount enemy. OF all pri-
critics, his determination must always
be the first. Since the outbreak of war
the Royal Navy has lost-though not all
OF them to U-boats, of course-417 big
and little ships, among them capital
vessels, aircraft carriers, Is cruisers, "a
destroyers and A submarines. No won
der that Lord Strabolgi should express
the hope in the House of Lords that
this very proud and terrible roll will
bring home to our people the price we
have to pay in the naval war" No
wonder Mr.. Alexander should have re-
minded the Commons that the Royal
Navy and the navies Of the Dominions
have passed through one Of the most
exacting and dangerous periods In the
whole Of our naval history.

Dealing With Absentees

The Baltimore Sun, after surveying
the absentee problem in that city's
war industries, has reached the en-
couraging conclusion that a great
deal can be done to minimize the
loss of production from this cause.
AS recently as few months ago
the effect of absenteeism on war
production in Baltimore was asSum-
ing serious proportions. Then the
State representatives of the War
Manpower Commission and Selective
Service officials got together to see
what could be done. Their main
effort was devoted to an educational
campaign, the purpose being to bring
home to each worker the fact that
he, as an individual, was important
to the war program, and that the
program suffered direct injury when
he stayed away from work. This was
buttressed with plan for refusing
draft deferments to those men of
draft age who habitually absented
themselves from work without valid
excuse
According to The Sun, complete
records of results obtained are not
available. But in one Shipyard
absenteeism was cut from IA to 8.5
per cent. In another important war
plant the percentage of absentees
was brought down to 4 per cent-a
good figure even in peacetime.
If these instances are at all repre-
sentative of the average overall
results being achieved in Baltimore,
It lends strong support to the belief
that the absentee evil can be sub
stantially abated by application of
three point program embracing
sensible educational program, a COM
prehensive effort to improve living
and working conditions and some
effective means of penalizing those

Time for q Showdown

Most people will agree with William
M. Jeffers as to the need for an i'm
mediate investigation into the SEEM
ingly perpetual conflict between the
War Departments high-octane gaSo-
line program and the synthetic
rubber program. The people are
entitled to know the facts.
Undersecretary of War Patterson
Indicates that inadequate production
of high-octane gasoline grounded
airplanes in March, will ground more
of them in April, will delay the spring
air offensive against Germany and
thus prolong the war. What is more,
the blame for this serious situation
Is by implication placed on unneces-
sarily high synthetic rubber produc-
tion plans. Mr.. Jeffers' friends, on
the other hand, indicate that the
high-octane gasoline production pro-
gram was bungled and that the War
Department could fix the blame by
looking around home instead of
jumping on Mr. Jeffers.
AS serious as these charges and
countercharges are, the most dis
turbing part of the business is that
they are made at all. At this stage
OF war they are completely out of
place, 1t is all very we'll to take the
philosophic view that if Mr.. Jeffers
did not grab everything he could lay
his hands on to do his job, he would
not be the right man; or that if
Undersecretary Patterson did not at
least try to remove any form of inter-
ference with the high-octane gaso-
line program, he would not be doing
his duty to the country. But such
competition between conflicting in
terests is healthy only so long as
there is a strong umpire to keep it
under control and to see that neither
Job fails. Where is the umpire now?
James F. Byrnes, director of eco
nonic stabilization, took the sensible
view, when this same conflict required
his mediation before, that there is
never enough of anything in wartime
and that the question is not the
relative Importance of the rubber
program versus the high-octane
gasoline program. The country can
not survive without both of them and
both programs must go along to-
gether at the maximum speed per-
mitted by available materials. He
settled the controversy on that
policy. If the settlement was un-
wise, is it impossible to persuade him,
or Donald Nelson, that they were
wrong? Must there be a repetition
OF maneuvers now, from both sides,
to muster public sentiment in support
OF one particular program by mini
mizing the Importance of the other?
Senate investigations of the con-
troversy will produce lot of figures
and a lot of conflicting claims. But
they will be most helpful by estab-
fishing two points: First, does au-
thority exist in Washington to settle,
once and for ALL this pointless, in
furious conflict between synthetic
rubber and high-octane gas pro-
grams? Second, If the authority
exists, to whom is it delegated and
why is it not exercised?

Day, 1881.
Anne died Of spinal meningitis at
her mothers house, the Villa Saint
Benoit in Cannes, January II, 1922.
She was buried on the shore of beau
tiful Lake Annecy in the Upper
Savoy. Like Saint Therese of Lisieux
and Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, she
is sought in the prayers of many.
Most notably because of its rela-
ton to the prevailing distress of her
country, the "cult" of Anne de Guigne
at the present moment may be
worthy of notice. Joan of Arc was
only child when she first heard her
angelic voices. Perhaps once again

invalids and restless persons who may
be house e-bound.
The birds will gather in their usual
hard the rain falls.
They will come at the same time, and
they will not leave until dark, which, OF
course, will come earlier than usual.
Some Of the English sparrows may take
time out, in the middle of the afternoon,
for singing and rest.
They seek the shelter Of caves and
other covered places.
They will perch in long rows, singing
together. This music is real choral music,
the sort which will strike some ears as
much better than the human chorus.
This is an aspect of sparrow song
which too many persons overlook when
speaking of this species. 1t must be
admitted that the individual songster is
not SO much.
1t is only when these sparrows get
together that they make real music.

Certainly on rainy day no one need
fear that the birds in the garden will not
get enough water for drinking and bath
ing.
This is one time the bird baths are
filled, even without human assistance.
And there are scores of little puddles,
which make the best sort of bird baths
Starlings, in particular, love to bathe
in little puddles.
They often will seek low spots in lawns
in preference to all the fancy bird baths
ever made.
They like puddles, too, for "dunking"
the neighborhood
This species is one which does not
really care for a rainy day, though.
Often it will seek shelter under a
ledge, and remain all day.
We will never forget rainy day, about
five years ago, when an old startling flew
into feeding station by the window.
All the other birds flew out, which was
exactly what the startling wanted. Peck
ing at few seeds, he soon gave this up,
and settled down in the middle of the
food.
There he remained all the rest of the
day.
We thought he was going to stay all
night, but just after dark really de-
scended. he suddenly flew out and away.
Most of the birds, however, including
that universal favorite, the cardinal, like
rainy days, and profit from them.
Squirrels, which always share bird
feeding stations, do not like rain. They
will stay up their trees all day, If the
rain keeps up.
Never fail to watch the birds when II
is raining. 1t can be done, even down.
town, and even when at work. starlings
English sparrows and pigeons frequent
most of the downtown buildings and

! something we'll worth noting.
