En- un a~rticulo ~publicado por nosotros
la semana pasada, con ell mayor respeto
preguntabamos:
iCual es ell grade de r~esponsabilidad
del Ej6rcito en- los numerosos casos de en-
~fermedades venereas que dieron orlgen a
una carta del mayor general Street,?
Frank Traynor, ell conocido c~iudadano,
dijo ell v~iernes, en- una reunion celebrada
por la Camara de Concrete de Tampa, que
en- ell case de las intermediates denuncia-
das por ell general Street,, la responsible
dad del general era tan grande como la del
alcalde Chancey.
Han sido pervertidas, segun ell jefe de
policia, muchas ninas y jovencitas entire IA
y II amos.
iQuienes son los que han e~nganado y
seducido a esas ninas?
lilo que mas importa en- csc problema
de la prostitution ~extendida", que no es
prostitution a~utentica, sine gravfsima des-
composition social, es que Sc busque un re-
medic al "problema" del soldado de modo
que no Sc case intempestivamente y no pro-
cure establecer amistad con jovencitas in
expertas a las cuales sc califica despues
de prostitutes.
No son prostitutes las ninas de IA a II
amos seducidas por soldados y %civiles; son
victimas de In estado de hipocresia que no
Sc atreve a marcar la antigua Inca diviso-
ria: las buenas de este lado y las malas,
o que parecen serlo, de aquel.
ICON que derecho, 81 hemos de ser JUS
tos, Sc perseguira a las jovencitas, amar-
gandoles la vida, clasificandolas como mu-
jeres de "vida airada", 81 no Sc aplican cas-
tigos a los p~aisanos y militares que con fe-
mentidas promesas las arrastraron a sacri-
ficar su honor?

Todo amor halla su fuente en-
81 amor propio. Toda fidelidad,
en- la propia fidelidad. Solo Ell que
Sc estima es capaz de estimar en-
las cosas Y en- las personals algo
valioso y de adoptar ante elias
una actitud fervorosa o reveren-
tie. FL desprecio de 81 mismo con-
duce derechamente a la propia
destruction y al aniquilamiento
de TODD 10 que tiene un sentido en-

Perdida la fe que ell amor alien

da persona, un destino inmanente
que da unidad v coherencia a la
multiplicidad de sus actos Y di-
buja, a traves de los tiempos Y de
las circumstances, la Inca de una
conducta fiel. Mi personalidad no
es algo hecho y derecho. No soy
10 que soy. Nj 10 que lego a Ter.
No algo acabado, sine eterna per-
plejidad, lucha y conquista, con-
sagracion Y entrega, proyecto y
trayectoria.
Nuestra e~xistencia cuotidiana es
una monotonfa sorda %interrumpi-
da por fulguraciones momenta-

les de la vida deshacen constante-

des v nuestras acciones Sc hallen
O no de acuerdo con la t~rayectoria
de nuestra personalidad, que nos
ajustemos a los i~mperativos de

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER

What is it that gives American soldiers their essential toughness :!
 Such a question is frequently. asked and there are number ot ways of answering it but none more to the point than that which Ira Wolfert gives us in "Battle for the Solomons." "It seems to me" he says, "that Americans, without being conscious of it, are fierceiy proud of being Americans. They seem to be aware instinct. ively that they are mixture of ,f all the people in the world-well nourished, athletic, free to thlnk' less frustrated and so better in tegrated than others. And with this subconscious realization comes the conviction that nothing on earth can keep an American from doing a job he knows he really has to do."

League. Lack of resident interest has made that impossible so far. The summer vacation school for the small children is in full swing, too, though on account of the gas rationing the weekly trips to Babbs Beach are probably out.
 And so life goes on, altered somewhat by wartime conditions, but ever plodding forward, and who is there to say that that is not as it should be?

You may be interested to know that our Red Cross is doing won derful job over here. They pro- vide us with lodging and meals when we go to London. They have several nice dormitories with swell soft beds. Their food is good and very reasonable. Glad to see Bloomfield made such good show ing in the Red Cross drive this year. They have a mobile unit which goes around to the fields and serves coffee and doughnuts also candy and gum to the ground crews and flying crews this is all free. know some of the funds raised at home are helping us over here in one way or another as we'll as helping in other theaters of war.

LIFE ON THE PLANTATION

Those who are fortunate enough to have business that brings them occasionally to the North Bloom field section of the town would be witness of the annual transtormac tion that comes with the advent or the warm weather. No longer the bleak fields that stretch for miles and miles. broken only by the oc- casional outline of a tobacco shed, but field after field of white cloth billowing in the wind which, we've often thought, from an alrplane must give the appearance of a placid sea-surface.
 Every one is busy, for the tobac- co crop is in the ground. No one IS idle in any family. Father and mother. growing boys and girls, all have their tasks to perform, and since the number of these does not suffice workers have been inn ported from other sections and even other countries. There are men and women from Hartford and New Britain, who commute each day. There are the usual vagabonds who come to work day or two, then draw their pay and leave for other parts; negroes have come from College in Geor- gia, colored folks from Jamaica, hill-billies from Kentucky.
 So many of the local boys have gone into the service that one wondered who would take their places in tobacco work, but the usual routine seems to be strug- gling along just the same. The summer recreation program is get ting under way. The dance floor behind the Church is beyond re- pair, but dances are being held in the Church Hall with good crowd in attendance and more than pleasing orchestra beating out the polkas, and, oh yes, a bit of jit ter bug for the colored boys. Mov- ies are being shown on Tuesday nights. Only one thing is missing, the usual Plantation Softball

OUT ON THE FARM


 A capricious moon shown down on the bucolic scene that surrounds the old saw mill at the corner of West Street. Our school nurse, May Manion, dozed lightly on cot near the bed where Ivan Moore lav recovering from burns.
 Ivan was awake, not because his burns were bothering, but he cause his alert ears informed him that something untoward was happening out in the barn. "Nurse", he said "tell my wife that there is something brewing among the herd" Without any complaint against this activity demand for extra-curricula, May shook off the influences of Mor- pheus and aroused Mrs. Moore and the Iatter's daughter. The three made their intrepid way to the barn, and, with the aid of flashlight, peered in. There they saw what a June moon can ac- complish.
 Romance had stirred the heart of a neighbours bull, and love had sung to him on this kindly night. Led by the light of the full orbed temptress of the skies, this Fer dinand of the west side had made his way to the home of the bovine harem, and because love laughs at locksmiths, had made his way in.
 How finely drawn is the line be- tween love and madness! The in trusion of the three female mem bers of the genus homo sapiens turned the tender, wooing spirit of the bovine lover to one of un- mitigated rage. With lowered head and dilated nostrils, he charged for the barn door, and in moment May found herself on the roof of the shed.
 And now the guileful moon laughed down on the pajama clad nurse, while workers driving home from the eleven o'clock shift mar yelled at the scene. When the m-moon shown on the c-cow shed, May was not waiting at the k- kitchen door, but sat wondering how on earth she got up on the roof.
 And still she wonders. The solemn mystery will becloud the rest of her life. Was she tossed to the shingles by the horns of the enraged bull, or did she draw upon some hitherto untapped resourc- es and speed to reach that highly elevated position? May doesn't know, the bull will never tell, and when you ask the moon, she winks and passes behind a cloud.
