trolling all approaches to Qua
dalcanai. our forces would not be
able to receive rcinforcements or
supplies while the Japanese
would be in a position to take
fresh troops and the necessary
war material to the island in such
number and quantity that even
tually the Americans might be
overwhelmed.
Hence If the Japs decide that
they can tackle Admiral HalSey's
forces they will do so and a major
battle will develop in the next
few days. If our losses are very
heavy the fate of Guadalcanal
will be in Jeopardy. IF we are
able to defeat the japanese feet.
as we have done in the past, we
won't have to worry about the
South Pacific for some months
tC come.
In view of this situation 1t is
tnthinkable that the Japs will
engage our forces unless the per-
centage is strongly In their fa-
vor.
Preliminary Fcints.
The present skIrmishes, in
which the japanese are using
more planes than ever before,
are considered as preliminary
feints - exploring operations -
which will determine whether
the Jap high command wants to
go ahead or not.
Admiral Halsey has a WE'LL
established reputation not only
as a first-class fighter but also
as a man capable of keeping his
own counsel when he engages
the enemy in a battle. So moth
ing much can be expected in
the shape of reports from him
until either the enemy withdraWs
or the battle is joined.
In the meantime, Washington
military observers are holding
their breath. It is realized that
the result OF another great naval
engagement would affect not
only the garrison of Guadalcanal
but also the course of the war
In the Pacific and in particular
the attitude Of the Chinese
Government.
The November victories had a
great moral effect in Chungking.
Since that time the Chinese have
renewed their worrying about
out future actions in the Pacific.
The Casablanca conference, in
spite Of the official communique
that the only terms for peace Of
the United Nations are complete
surrender of all Axis powers, has
had a somewhat depressing effect
on Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek and his military advisers.
A major naval engagement
which may not end in our favor
unquestionably would have an
adverse effect on the Chungking
military and might give strong
arguments to the Japanese, who
are reported seeking to detach
China from the United Nations.

uatlon from the viewpoint of
balance Of power. He believes
that the chief aim Of the British
has been to weaken both Ger
many and Russia and that they
may yet be persuaded to restore
the balance upset by the fantastic
defeats In Southern Russia.
This, Of course, is merely
repetition of the whole Nazi his
tory which captured and enlarged
its power by presenting itself as
the only alternative to Com
munism. The three major po-
litical events in Nazi history:
January 30, 1888. when they came
to power; Munich, and the Hess
affair, were all CANDLES taken on
this theme, and the first two
were successful. The Hess affair
was not, but neither Hitler or
Goebbels have ever believed that
the theme is played out.
Four Alternatives.
Actually the Germans have the
following alternatives: First, un-
conditionally to surrender and to
depend upon the British and
American Governments and
armies to organize Europe in a
Democratic way that will release
Russia from the fear of another
Holy Crusade against Moscow.
This is what we want, and this is
what the Nazis prefer to ignore.
For 1t means the end of their
regime.
Secondly, to marshal, by levee
en- masse, the last remnants of
their power and hurl it into new
offensives in the east. This they
are already trying to do and
might succeed in doing, If strong
military action from the west is
postponed, too long. They are
now recruiting a new army of
perhaps a million and a half
men at the cost of destroying the
entire civilian economy.
Third, to prepare to withdraw
deep into Poland and 50 to DEM
onstrate, by the advance of the
Russian armies outside their own
borders. that everything between
them and the Channel may COL
lapse.
Fourth, to introduce a new po-
litical situation by getting rid OF
Hitler, probably by seeing to 1t
that he falls at the head of
his troops" on the eastern front.
That would retain the Hitler
legend for history. at one in the
public mind, they think, for all
his sins, bring about the reor-
ganization or liquidation Of the
Nazi party. and open the way
for negotiations.
They may combine these vari-
Gus moves. But at any rate, We
can look forward to = series OF
political coups.
Our only preparation for these
various maneuvers whereby the
German armies may hope to
turn defeat into victory, Is to
consolidate even further the aims
OF the United Nations. The
clearer our picture Is Of the fu-
ture Of Europe, the easier it will
be for US to foil the enemy.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

IL y OSt pffHt LOuFluN
Remember the flu epidemic of the
last war? With so many doctors in
our armed forces and such large
concentrations of people scattered
over the country we should treat the
colds we have this year, or might
have this year, with more seriousness
than usual.
The habit which so many mothers
have of sending their children to
school when they can infect others
with a cold is, to my mind, a scandal.
Better that little Mary make a B
instead of an A than infect a dozen
other children with her germs!
What happened to the active
school nurses of a few years ago, and
to the habit of sending any child
with sniff1e or cough home at
once? We started out applying
practical hygiene to our primary
schools and to our high schools, but
just go today into almost any school
room and listen to the sneezing, nose
blowing and coughing
TOO many folks go TO their Offices
when they are i'll with a cold. This
comes from a misplaced sense of
loyalty to work. I have myself
known of instances when whole
office forces went down, one indi-
vidual at time, because one man
felt that he must come to work, and
therefore brought the germ that
started the ball rolling.
1t would be interesting, too, if
some factory or large Office group
would keep books on one year when
they came to work as usual and on
another during which nobody came
when they were capable of injecting
others. I believe that the latter
plan would cut the lost work days Of
the whole organizatio wonderfully.

differs as much from Louisiana

other parts Of the United States,
and that is because chefs and cooks
in even the best dining places are

tanned. And this is probably more
true in the homes in Virginia than
in any other part of the country,
except in Louisiana.
So the dinner reported herein
held true to the Virginia tradition.
The panned oysters are prepared
by first draining half dozen oysters
per person and placing them in a
skillet with tablespoon of butter or
margarine, a tablespoonful of Wor-
ceStershlre sauce, pepper and little
lemon juice. Cook only for minute,
until the oysters start to curl Then
serve on freshly made buttered toast
as a first course.
The squad pie, which one finds in
both Maryland and Virginia is a
grand dish and lives right inside of
present day rationing, just so you
can find one SQUAD for each person,
CThese are small squads, not the
expensive Jumbo" variety) The
squads are placed in a kettle with a
good lid, covered with boiling water,
seasoned with salt, pepper, an onion
and some cut-up celery green's.
When tender, drain and dry each
bird. Then, into each SQUAD, put
level tablespoonful Of butter, pep
per and salt, chopped parsley and
a pinch of dry marjoram or thyme
or poultry seasoning. Last of all,
stuff into each squad one hard
boiled egg (and be sure to peel the
e2gJ. l know bride who tried this
dish and left the shells on the eggs.
Place the squads side by side in a
round casserole or baking dish, and
pour over them broth made like
this: Strain the broth in which the
squads we're cooked, add a table
spoonful of butter and a cup of milk
or cream, thicken with a large -four
to creamy consistency and then
check for salt and pepper. Add
chopped parsley and pinch of
marjoram or thyme or poultry sea-
soning. If you like, include few
tiny potatoes which have been par
boiled and a cup of green peas II
your fancy dictates. Then cover the
dish with rich pastry crust and
bake to golden brown.
Puff puddings are made through
out Virginia in the old homes.
Simply mix half cup of fine sifted
-four, two pinches of salt, half a
cup of sugar and quart of rich
milk. Then add four we'll beaten
eggs and bake in a we'll buttered
pudding dish at ABOUT 300 degrees.

Telling Stories
10 Youngsters
Educational
Those Best Suited
To Occasion Are
Wise Choice
By A nqel0 Pafri

BY A ngelO Pafrf
One of the first qualifications !
would ask for in a teacher is the
ability to tell a story. AS mothers
are the first and best teachers chill
dren ever know they, too, should
be able to tell stories, all kinds of
stories. One does not need to go
to college to learn to tell stories. A
knowledge Of the story, a listening
child, practice, will make a story
teller out of anybody who can use
his tongue and his memory.
A story serves as an educational
force, anywhere, anytime. 1t is
never out of place if it applies to
the situation, and it will carry more
weight with the child than any
other communication one can make
Instead of scolding child and call
ing him greedy when he reaches
for more than his share tell him,
quite actually, the story of the
greedy dog. Leave the dog looking
down at the water, his bone gone
beyond redemption, sorrowfully.
Don't point the moral. The child
is quick to see it and silently apply
it to himself. He may have to hear
the story several times, but that is
not too bad. Let him hear 1t until
he knows it by heart. 1t will be
good for what ails him.
Every mother and teacher should
know Aesop's Fables and be able
to tell one suitable to the occasion.
Read them to the children, tell them
over and over, apply them to daily
happenings and the children will
absorb them and apply them, too.
They are second only to the Bible
stories in their influence on char
acter.
Tell the Bible stories and suit
them to the occasion. The selec-
ton of the right story is matter
of experience and practice. All
stories will not serve all children.
Mothers and teachers soon learn
the nature of the child they are
dealing with and learn to pick the
story with neat discrimination.
One might hesitate to tell the story
OF the naughty children who called,
Go up thou to Baldhead," to Eli
jah and who, in consequence, were
eaten up by the bears. l know
saucy. sturdy young rascals to whom
the story would be a delight and a
caution, and others to whom it
would be nightmare. Suit the
story to the child and the occasion,
and there is little danger of making
mistake
Stories should be used TO divert
children's attention from things
that they ought not to do, from
fears, from wrong thinking.

The first official revelation that
large quantities of lease-lend aid
is moving to Russia via the Pacific
created new interest in Washington
today on the question of American
assistance to sthe Soviet in its war
with Germany.
The Lease-Lend Administration
merely said that in the past year
this country began lease lend Ship

declined to elaborate.
A map accompanying the report

shipments are made.
One curved line extended from
the United States West Coast to
Siberia. another from the East
Coast to the Murmansk- -Archangei
area of European Russia and a third
to the Persian Gulf-Iran route to
Russia.
The three lines were approximate
ly the same width. and a note said
they indicated relative quantities of
lend-lease goods shipped and the
country of its destination. The note
said, however. that the lines did not
show exact shipping routes nor the
location of ports.
