Breakfasts

OF responsibility these days and we
need an extra good start to put us on
our toes bright and early And we need
substantial breakfast also to see US
through the entire morning without
that mid-morning let down.
You don't have to be martyI
rationing and neglect this mornrn,
meal on that count. There are all kinds
of delicious offerings around which to
build the breakfast menu that will
bring an early morning sparkle to those
sleepyheads. On these chill mornings,
serve piping hot main course like pan,
cakes, wafiles, or fried mush with
heated syrup. Those favorites are
better than the best alarm clock to get
the family out of bed. Try it and see for
yourself.
PANCAKES - Make them with pre-
pared flour if times an item, or with
enriched flour for that extra vitamin B.

them in miniature stacks along with a

they come off the griddle.
WAFFLES-Any way you serve them,
they always seem like an extra treat.
Vary them by adding chopped nuts to
the batter, or dried fruit or grated
apple. Corn meal waffies are lip-smack-
ing too. Substitute half the flour for
corn meal. And don't forget the heated
syrup and hot breakfast plates.
FRIED MUSH - Here's an oldtimer
worth repeating often. Make twice the.
family capacity for mush, corn meal,
oatmeal, wheat cereal or any other
favorite, and serve it the first morning
as hot cereal. Pack the rest in loaf
pan lined with waxed paper and put it
in the refrigerator for the following
morning. Come breakfast time again,
take it out and slice it into 15-inch
slices and fry in hot shortening until

Gasoline In Extmguisher


When fire broke out on a small ship under
construction in a Portland, Oregon yard and
a stream from a fire extinguisher was turned
on 1t, the flames grew larger. Investigation
showed the extinguisher filled with gasoline
instead Of flame-quenching chemicals. Further
investigation revealed four other extinguishers
also filled with gasoline
Fortunately the FBI is not willing to accept
the police view that gasoline was used in the
extinguishers by mistake, and is making it's
own investigation. Odds are they will find
it no mistake at all but the deliberate act
Of enemy agents who may be workers in
the yard. The Germans have raised sabotage
to a fine art.
It is not difficult to imagine what would
result if the same trick was successfully used
in many shipyards. A bit OF oil waste dropped
in The right place and secretly ignited by a
worker temporarily alone at the spot could
cost many a good ship and impose handi-
cap upon construction if the tiny flame was
fed with gasoline from fire extinguisher.
This will put shipyards on guard against
repetitions of the Portland fire.

Ellice Islands

The EAlice islands possess strategic value
only. They are tiny group some 1900 miles
from Guadalcanal, the main island Funafuti,
having barrier reef guarding its lagoon,
and barely large enough for an air base.
But it lies athwart our communication line
from Hawaii to Australia, New Caledonia and
New Guinea. Also, it is nearer than any
other Allied territory to the Japanese-occupied
Gilberts
Thus, the occupation effected without fight
by American forces recently has two obvious
objectives. One is to prevent the enemy from
basing planes there to prey upon our war
commerce and transport service. The other
is to establish an air patrol for the further
protection of this service.
It would be wrong, we think, to view this
seizure as an islahd-hopping adventure. It is
more significant than that, and vastly more
important. When the time comes for the total
war against the Japanese for which we all
pray, the base now under construction on
Funafuti will have a vital part.

Russia's Spirit

It has been some time now since Joseph
ter-offensive had ended. But the Russians
60 on fighting as if there had been no such
statement, save that instead of general thrusts
of great magnitude their operations are di-
vided into many separate ones against Axis
locations from which Hitler might be prepar-
ing for his own summer assaults.
Lacking his old striking power, especially
in the air. it seems possible that whatever
Hitler's intentions may be for another summer
so heavily engaged at so many points that
large concentrations Of troops and armament
in any one sector, such as would be neces-
sary for break-througb, are out Of the ques
ton. From Leningrad to Novorissisk Russian
forces are hitting sledge-hammer blows while
their irrepressible guerilla bands strike with
equal effectiveness behind the German lines.
But it is not only the dogged fighting of the
Russian armies that engages attention. No
less indicative of the final outcome of the Bat
Tie OF Russia is the spleIlulo Hlol DIT VI ule
people who, after two summer enemy CAM
paigns and two winters Of tremendous sacri-
flee during their armies counter-attacks, face
the future with unbowed heads. This, in con-
junction with Stalin's frank acknowledgement
of Allied help, clearly shows not only that Hit
Ter can never regain his past advantages in
Russia but that the Russians are definitely
making common cause with America and Bri-
tain against the Hitlerites and all they stand
for. When Stain declares that Russia will
cease fighting only when the enemy has been
forced to unconditional surrender, we would
do him rank injustice to doubt his sincerity.
The Russia-baiters in this country would be
wise to stop their heckling The longer they
keep it up the more service will they be

Democrats Believe Cop
Farley Deadlock Ahead

ed as heading in that direction. Gov
ernor Bricker's friends have been
active in calling him to party at
tention outside Ohio.
The result, as these Democrats
see it, is quite likely to be a situa-
ton at the Republican convention
where the favorite-son stable holds
the balance of power. Whether op-
Grating as an alliance against can
didates who come into the conven-
ton with greatest initial strength
or Independently, the tendency must
be to hold the line until the leaders
have worn out their strength. Out
of the resultant deadlock in such
cases comes the final result.
That forecast of the course for
the Republican convention is so
firmly rooted among Democratic OBJ
servers that they refuse to take
very seriously Governor Dewey s
assertion that he expects to serve
out his term. At least one very sea-
soned Eastern Democrat who has
had recent opportunity to sample
Republican as we'll as Democratic
opinion over a considerable part of
the country is reported convinced
that Dewey will be drafted in 1914
unless military figure develops by
that time to steal the show.

The Literary Guidepost

OF the island hurriedly, because
some admiral or other thought a

pltal where the sailors were being
treated.
The Japs landed, however. Com.
mander Wassell took his charges
TO the coast, and part of them
were put aboard ship and evacu-
ated. But the more dangerously
wounded had, perforce, to be re-
turned to the hospital. Then Was
sell made arrangements for our
own planes to fly his men out, and
the Japs broke that plan up. At
last an English column went
through, and this time Wasseu
was able to make connections.
The story of the trip down from
the hospital to the shore, of the
port and the impossible confusion
there, of the Dutch captain who
would not accept the men, but
did, is only the prelude to another
adventure. For at sea in the

Well, of the increase over 1941 the company
paid $11, ,O00, 900 more in wages and 10000, 900
more in taxes, plus some minor increases, so
that the net income, available for dividends

under 1940's figure.

THE TRAGEDY OF
CARELESSNESS

To the Editor:
The loss of a young man in our
armed forces is a tragedy at any
time, but a loss caused by sheer
carelessness and negligence of a
man not only serving his country,
but also giving a blood donation is
more than tragedy. The untimeiy
death of Barney Lewis is an out
rageous example of what can hap
pen when every precaution is not
taken and every detail, even to the
minutest, checked, when a human
life is at stake.
A community should have the ut
most confidence in it's hospital. 1t
is our only recourse in case Of ac-
cident and sudden illness. A pa
TENTS trust in this public institu-
tion may determine whether he will
recover or be averse to all treatment
through lack of confidence. Thus it
becomes the responsibility of every
individual in a community to see
that his hospital is adequately staff
ed with competent doctors and nurs-
es.
This is not a protest against those
who have served long and faithfully
in the hospital, but protest against
conditions which could allow such
a terrible tragedy to occur. May the
unnecessary death of Barney ].
Lewis arouse the citizens of Will
mington to their duty towards them
selves

NaZi Atrocities

Nazi brutality has long since become so vile
that human beings have tended to build up
sympathetic immunity to new atrocity
stories. Under such circumstances, one some
times begins to wonder whether harsh meas
ures necessary to keep a rebellious people
in subjugation are being magnified into de-
ilberate sadism.
Therefore it seems fitting, now and again,
to renew the record so that the people we
are fighting may be seen in true perspective
so that we may realize that the German peo-
pie, and not merely a few brass hats, are
below the level Of animals.
From time to time Poland Fights, organ of
the Polish Labor Group, smuggles pertinent
reports out of the tortured homeland. Here
are a few examples.
