Max N. Conrad, 326 Chase Avenue,
Hamilton, Ohio was always an act
of finality. To be buried was the last
thing that Conrad ever expected to
happen to him. But here on Leyte,
when Jap bomb hit an ammunition
dump, Conrad was returned to dust
ahead of his time, and lived to tell
about it.
81 was lying in my foxhole, just
about to doze off for my nights sleep, y
Conrad explained, when | heard a
loud report and saw a binding flash.
The next thing | knew my foxhole
had caved in on me from the concus-

buried alive" Fortunately for Conrad
some of his buddies were nearby and
saw the freak accident. When they
rushed over to him, only his right
arm was protruding from the ground
and after minutes of feverish digging,
Conrad was excavated, unhurt but a
bit dazed.
81 sure thought | was a goner that
time" said Conrad, meaningly.

What's The Difference?
by Ruth Taylor


The other day I heard friend
whose judgment / value, say "Most
Of our troubles, at home as well as
abroad, stem from the fact that we
don't like anything that is different" !"
Take the prosaic question of food
though as one who prides herself
on her cooking, resent the imputa-
tion that food is prosaic. We are set
in our tastes by what is familiar. My
little assistant can't understand my
fondness for frogs legs-but doesn't
see why anyone doubts that salt roe
and scrambled eggs are the perfect
breakfast dish Remember the COM
plant Of the British Tommy about
caviar-"The bloody jam tastes Of
fish,"
So it is with people. For example,
there is the famous story of the Eng
lishman who lived in Paris for twenty
years without learning word of
French-he wasn't going to encour-
age them in speaking their silly Ian
| guage."
The poor man rails at the sins of
| the millionaire. The rich man looks at
the poor as a weakling. Labor is sus-
picious of Capital. Capital fears the
strength of Labor. You can carry this
on indefinitely.
We are too apt to try to make our
selves big by belittling others. Instead
of frankly and freely admitting that
we have lot to learn that other peo-
pie might know, and remembering it's
correlative thought that maybe we
know some things that it would do
them good to learn, we shut ourselves
up in mirror-lined room. We need
to discard the mirrors, open the win
dows and see what is outside.
No group is perfect. No group has
all the knowledge. This resentment of
difference is not just resentment by
the majority. The minorities are just
as quick to condemn or resent any
| difference on the part of the major
ity.
Let us face this problem of diff
ference with some intelligence. None
of us can know too much. None of
! us but who can learn from others.
None of US but who has something to
! give in exchange,
How about it? The next time you
run up against a different" person,
whether his difference be a difference
of creed or class or color, can't you
say Here is my opportunity" You
never can tell-maybe you'll teach him
as much as he will teach you.
If you analyze the statement with
which / started, you find it boils down
to eve don't like what we don't
know" In that lies the solution. Know
ledge is the key to understanding. It's
