ADVENTURE STORIES OF '4s
(Christian Science Monitor,

(Christian Science Monitor)
Fact is stranger than fiction-and
these days more exciting. Adven-
ture is not confined to novels.
Heroes are not mere shadows of the
imagination who live in books.
They're honest-to-goodness peo-
pie; the boy who worked in the
chain store, the youngster who
drove the delivery truck, the fell
low who lived across the way.
The setting of the new thriller
may be the South Pacific, high in
the air over Japanese-held Rabaul
in New Britain, over Sicily ano
Sardinia in the Mediterranean, ovel
Burma. Or it may be a mystery
story of submarine operations fal
down under the South Seas.
1t is told in newspaper columns
in magazines, in books, and II
the infrequent installments of cen
sored letters. 1t is a new type o.
reading for many people, and it i:
having salutary effect. Maps o.
the world are busted off and scru-
tinized. The atlas has come to bt
the common handbook OF man,
who used to think it was only fol
school rooms and libraries.

"Then suddenly the great
American eagle came over the
playground and dropped its
bombs. After that there was
no merry gO-round and no little
children. Only pieces of cloth
ing and chunks of red meat.
THAT is what the once brave
American eagle is doing to our
children. That is what you
are doing every time you buy
bonds to help pay for these
eagles of DEATH"
AXIS POISON
This is only one sample of the
poison being poured in on the
lian-American families day in
and day out. The Schenectady
family listening to this broadcast
had brought more than its quota
of bonds. The father worked in
a war plant. They were above
average in ther patriotism. Yet
when they heard this broadcast
they wept.
The poison regarding American
planes bombing children could
be easily refuted, because Ameri-
can pilots have a miraculous rec
ord for hitting military objec-
tives in precision bombing. But
a hog-wild Congress, bent on cut
ting off all radio propaganda on
the domestic front, wants to let
Axis poison from Rome go un-
challenged.
NOTE: Smart DR.. Frank Gigli-
otti, patriotic Italian-American
from California, promptly looked
up Mussolini's edicts banning the
use of gasoline or oil for all en-
tertainment, including merry-go-
rounds, pointed out that the in
cident broadcast by Guidi could
not have happened because no
merry-go-rounds are operating.
This type of propaganda
is what Owl wants to broadcast
to Italian-Americans-if not
barred by Congress.

others, there emerged for each in
his field technique amazingly orig
inal. No one has ever painted just
like Raphael, and no one has ever
had literary style just like Steven
son. Yet the art of these men was
the result of diligent attempts to
copy the best they encountered in
men everywhere.
If we are not afraid to learn,
the whole world will come forth
gladly and lay its treasures at our
feet. Everyone has something to
teach us, and the man with the
sharpest ears and eyes develops the
most pronounced originality.

remarked waiter Some
Bricker leaders claim that the
Dewey now in order to block
Taft boys are secretly backing
Bricker - thus creating a dead
lock from which Taft would
emerge as the nominee. They say
it is a favorite Taft trick to
put rival candidate out in front
early, then let the politicos take
pot-shots at him.
ANTI-ANIERICAN
PROPAGANDA
Congressman who are so free
and easy about cutting off funds
for domestic propaganda for the
Office of War Information should
eavesdrop some evening on many
Italian American families when
the short wave radio from Rome
is turned on.
1t is no crime in this country,
as in Europe, to listen to the short
wave IdulO, anu llIl1llO1lo VI 1dlll-
lilies of European descent do it.
Furthermore the Axis, having no
Congress to worry about, has its
short wave propagandists on the
job every day. Mussolini's min
lister of propaganda, for instance,
puts on Flavius Guidi, former
Italian newsman in New York,
from Rome for Atlantic seaboard
Americans, while Cali
fornia Italians tune in on An
tonic Manu- from Tokyo.
One of Guilds broadcasts, heard
by an Italian-American family in
Schenectady, went something like
this:
To-day there came over the
Fairgrounds of our children a
great bird. 1t was bird which
once stood for bravery and cOur-
age. 1t was the American agile.
Playing below it in the public
square we're some little children.
They were OH a merry gO-rOund.
You have all seen a merry-gO-
round and you know it is no
military objective.

CELEBRATE WITH CAUTION
New Haven Journal ourier)

New Haven -Courier)
The State Highway Safety Com
mission reminds us that the Fourth
of July holiday opens the most
dangerous month of the year, since
in this period more lives are lost and
more persons injured as the result
of accidents than in any other
month. In addition to highway &C
cidents, drownings and falls take
their toll of deaths.
This year the desire of many
thousands to relax after long months
of steady toll and the fact that war
workers have a weekend holiday
mean that there will be more people
more intent on holiday activities
than nordmally. All should remind
themselves that enthusiasm for rec
reation should be tempered with
more than-usual caution.
Those who have to get back to
important jobs on Tuesday morn
ing may well befare of over exertion,
sunburn, ver-indulgence and food
poisoning, for these will be the cause
of absenteeism unless Connecticut
people are careful.

THE OLD FOLKS NEED A NIP
NOW AND THEN

One of the numerous new books
on the supbject of geriatrics dds
eases of old age) Internal Medicine
in Old Age, by Drs. Albert Mueller
Dedham and S. Milton Rabson
published by Williams & wilkins,
1912 mentions favo1sp1y moderate
doses of iodine, in the form Of one
of the iodides, in the treatment Of
the following diseases of the elderly:
Chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic
arthritis, arteriosclerosis, hyperion
sion (high blood pressure) and-oh,
no, not in hypothyroidism, I find.
When you think it over these
conditions cover large part of the
everyday ailments of people of ma
ture age, and perhaps that explains
why the old folks need nip now
this will cure any of these ailments,
and then, nip of iodine. Not that
but nevertheless the body requires
certain amount of iodine for nor
NAL nutrition and the maintenance
of functional efficiency or health,
just as it requires certain amount
| of water, or sugar, or starch, or
vitamin B-complex or protein, and
If the requirement Of any one Of
these essentials, including iodine, is
not fulfilled or satisfied, nutrition,
health or functional efficiency Is
sure to suffer.
Old age, senility, anilty (senile
is derived from senilis meaning In
Lat an old man; aanile is from
anilis, meaning an old woman, Is
not so much a question Of years as
is ordinarily reckoned, nor even
question of the quality of the ma
ternal in ones tubing (arteries), as
! DR.. Osler opined when he said
longevity is a vascular question
and the famous French physiolo-
gist Claude Bernard before him
aphorized "a man is as old as his
arteries" This conception Of old
age or premature old age was all
right in Osler's time.
The newer knowledge OF nutri-
ton, biochemistry and pathological
physiology strongly indicates that
/ these and other manifestations of
old age or premature old age, such
as grazing hair and wrinkling skin,
are essentially nutritional deficien-
cies. Iodine deficiency is one of the
most common of these. Calcium
deficiency is nearly if not quite as
common. Vitamin deficiencies, par
| ticularly vitamin D and vitamin B.
complex, contribute to premature
senility or anility in a great many
instances. We shall consider some
of these factors or premature aging
in talks to follow. Right now We
urge every man, woman and child
to be sure to get enough iodine. If
you don't know how, send a three
cent stamped envelope bearing your
address, and ask for Instructors
for Taking an Iodin Ration

Views OF The Press

Americans are reaching out to
new horizons. They're thinking to
some extent in international di-
mansions.
1t is an encouraging trend, but
it would be a mistake to take it
for granted that the broader view
is necessarily permanent one. 1t
is definitely, however, basis for
something better the foundation
upon which a more informed public
opinion may be built.

STRENGTH
FOR THE DAY
BY EARL l.. DOUGLASS ID. d.
HOW WE DEVELOP
ORIGINALITY

Robert Louis Stevenson is said to
have developed his remarkable lit
erary style by copying the style of
scores of distinguished authors. For
some weeks he would try assiduous-
ly every day to put what he had to
say into the form used, perhaps, by
Cicero Oh Spencer Then again he
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-02

beginning with that of worried Mar
win Mcintyre who recently told a
friend on the telephone:
when you have as much oil
your mind as the President and
Winchell Churchill, you can I'M
derstand why things at HON
come second
yes, Mae said the PresI-
dents friend, but if the Boss
doesn't watch the home front,
the ground may be cut out from
under his main war objective
Marvin agreed.
More philosophic advisers, on
the other hand, point to the
problems which woodrow Wilson
had with his last Congress, the
Congressional rows with Cool
idge, Hoover and Teddy Roose-
welt. They argue that this fric-
ton is bound to develop, and
that domestic legislation especial
ly suffers during war.
This, of course, is true. But it
is also true that friction increases
the further away President gets
from his honeymoon days with
Congress; the longer he stays
in Office.
ANTI STRIKE CONFUSION
However, nothing explains away
the glaring White House inepti-
tude of last week i'll not notify
ing Capitol Hill leaders that the
anti-strike veto was coming SO
that they could have the Presi-
dents own labor supporters pres
ent to try to sustain him. ..,...
That Incl titude substantiates
what many have felt for a long
time, that with all the high
powered White House secretaries
and a special assistant, ex-Con-
gresham Jim Barnes, sup
posed to coordinate between
the White House and Congress,
there just isn't any coordina-
ton.
NOTE: One difficulty with every
President is that he hasn't the
time to see many people, has to
filter his views through the eyes
of advisers. In the last year or
so, Roosevelt's advisers have
changed. He sees less of Con-
gressional leaders, more of Harry
Hopkins, the genial Pa Watson
and the charming Princess Mar
tina of Norway. And because of
the war, he has to devote great
deal of time to military confer
ences with admirals and generals
The domestic front and Congress
take back seat.
GOVERNORS
MERRY-GO-ROUND
The Governors Conference with
police motorcycles and special cars
whizzing all over Columbus, set
no example to gas-saving Ameri-
cans. Highlight of the meeting
was a lovely junket of 80 miles in
so cars to inspect a nearby wal
plant for no purpose at all
Perhaps they wanted to equal the
record of Maryland's First Lady,
Mrs. O'Conor in driving to
Charleston, S. c., in a state car.
:. Ex-Governor George White,
Democrat, who deserted FDR for
Willkie in 1910, this time seemed
to desert Willkie for Tom Dewey.
When Dewey arrived in Co.
lumbus, he completely stole the
show from the Bricker crowd
women rushing up to shake hands,
admirers crowding the hotel lobby
Finally when Young Tom looked
around for his Bricker aide to
escort him to his own hotel, ex-
Gov. White stepped up and Of
fered to take Dewey Off to his
home for the night At The
starch-bosom banquet Dewey was
the only man appearing in a
business suit Ambassador Da-
vies made a good speech at the
dinner, but the most talked of in
cident was the fact that when he
mentioned Roosevelt's name as
commander -in-chief, you could
have heard a pin drop. There was
not one ripple of applause :. {.

Selected Poem
/ LIVE AGAIN

LIVE AGAIN
Edna Reed in The Poets Corner, Hartford Times,
live again, once more there blooms a rose,
The drab of winters spell has given way
That nature might arise from her repose,
To cheer the heart of man by her array.
The wooded paths that thread the wonder hill
How keenly there sense Him who has led,
And gain assurance that He always will,
I would not look into the days ahead,
Nor would in the past desire to dwell,
In Gods immortal Now I'd live instead,
And to its fullest, faithfully and we'll.
That my frail soul could open like tn rose
And find its state Of Heaven as it grows
