Kippes Writes
Ship Witnesses
Over to Japan

Editor: : -.
With your permission, I would
like the privilege of replying to
Jehovah Witnesses letter of last
week. -. g.
First, he makes the statement,
they are not a sect.
Judge Dictionary's definition
states, a sect is a religious body, so
they must be a sect. = 81.
Also states they obey all laws
which do not conflict with their
belief. - -, r
Suppose each individual would
interpret the law to suit themselves,
wouldn't we be in heck of a
mess. -
served on a jury one time in
which case the judge questioned a
juror if he interpreted the laws
himself. Reply was, I do. Judge
informed him Immediately that he
could go home, that the only one
to interpt the laws was the Supreme
Court.
Jehovah Witnesses you make the
statement that you are entitled to
the protection of the law.
Did you ever stop to consider
that your neighbors, and their
neighbors, are the government, that
they enacted the laws, and protect
the laws? 49,
Jehovah Witnesses, did you ever
realize the fact that the laws are
protected by your neighbors, for they
are the government, and if they did
not protect the laws the laws would
be worthless? i @fs. -.s..- q ,s.
Did you ever stop to consider that
your neighbors are fighting overseas
to protect you, and all you hold dear
to you from that organized jap
Hitler gang of murderers and
bandits? ~: III. =: - --z
Yes, Jehovah Witnesses, you GER
tainly will admit if you will admit
the truth, that it is a very unchar-
liable act, not to help defend your
neighbors' lives, homes, and all they
hold dear to them, when they de-
fend yours. ~- 3z. : T. = y
In the pioneer days. when the
pioneers had to fight the Indians
to protect their homes and, lives,
every able bodied man that refused
to fight would have been run out
of the settlement and could have
considered himself lucky to get off
with that.
Now Jehovah Witness quotes the
Bible, well We could be at that all
summer, to the disgust of the editor
and his readers.
Jehovah makes statement, please
note if, if, if. Never mind your ifs
and butts, under the present age
and conditions, it is simply case
we do the jap-Hitler gang or they
do us.
This jap-Hitler gang has no re-
.spect for Bible, women or children,
the only respect they have is for
hot lead.
Yes, if, if, Adam and Eve hadn't
made such a blunder we would all
be in Paradise, and what a merry
go-round we would have.
Vigilante committees, are cautious,
protective of lives and homes; mob
rule is the opposite.
Uncle Sam-here is my suggestion,
take the whole outfit, that has SO
little respect for the Stars and
Stripes that they refuse to salute it,
and also so little Of our. laws they
refuse to fight our enemies, put
them in a boat and ship the whole
durn caboodle outfit to japan.
But Uncle take my advice and
sneak them in the dark of the night,
for the japs won't want them either.
Respectfully yours,

marily with the development of

"Our work and interest overlap
many other groups and co-opera-
ton on functional basis with rec
reation groups, youth groups, labor
groups, churches, interracial groups
and international organizations
especially those concerned with
women and girls-is necessary and
absolutely desirable for our own
health and strength" she declared
The speaker pointed out, how
ever, that structurally, in budget,
personnel and policy making, the
YWCA should remain an independ-
ent movement At the same time,
she added, it should be remembered
that the organization is part of
the Community Chest.

ception at the organizations head

Mrs. Lawrence H. Shepard, general

responsibility of the YWCA brought
about by the war.
I'VE are living in boom town,
with all the confusion and dissatis-
factions and excitements and salts
factions which that implies" she
said. "Inadequacies, bewilderment
overwork, fatigue and loneliness
make up the background in which
we have played our part"
Mrs Shepard introduced members
OF each YWCA department, who re-
ported individually upon the past

and recitations. The program, en-

RED ARMY
 BEATS OFF NAzI MOVES
German Achievements Fail 10 Dent Lines of
 Russians, Kuban

MOSCOW, April 23.-The Ger mans are hourly reinforcing their land armies in the Kuban sector and have shifted hundreds of their bombers and fighter planes for use in the north Caucasian battles but despite the incessant attacks, these new forces of Germans have failed to dent the Russian lines.
 The Red Star, Russian Army newspaper, today said the Nazis have been employing numerous Ru- manian troops during the past few days and forced them into spear head assaults which are costing them hundreds of lives.
 The noon communique today said 500 of the enemy have been slaugh- tered in two Kuban sectors alone, during the past 12 hours, bringing the toll of the past 24 hours well above 800.
 The Nazi air force attempted to carry out heavy attack last night on the Soviet Black Sea port at Poti but was finally beaten off.
