school, Milwaukee, a qualified sub

Savings Bonds.
The school expects to top this
figure during the Fourth War
Loan Drive.

Bay View principal. "Our ad-
vanced tipping students make out
the bonds just as a bank clerk
would do. If a school doesn't
issue its own Bonds, it is missing
one Of the greatest educational
opportunities we have ever had"
Tuesday is War Savings day at
Bay View. They used to call it
Stamp Day, but now War Bonds are
playing too prominent a part in
student saving to permit that name.
Bond application blanks are al
ways available at the school bust
ness office. During As minute
period on Tuesday four Bond
teams of pupils and teachers re-
ceive the applications with the

Applications are checked, totals

NY final suggestion for mastering
depression calls for deep resources
of character Remember that some
tasks are so important that they
must be gone through with whether
we are depressed or not Strong per-
sonalities commonly solve the prob
lem of their dependency not by
eliminating but by sidetracktng 1t.
They have a task on hand, a pur-
pose to fulfill, and to that, whether
or not they feel detected, the main
trunkline OF their lives belongs.
We were made for task and
duties; our personalities were
meant to produce something. and,
like eggs, if we do not hatch we go
stale. Many are "fed up" with
living, not because they have been
badly battered by 1t but because
they have never given themselves
to any engrossing aims and obll-
cations so demanding that no mat
ter how they chance to feel, these
major matters must be got on
with.
The truth of this Is manifest in
those greater servants of mankind
who have passed unswervingly
through hells Of depression in 10y
atty to their chosen aims, like
Jesus in Gethsemane, sweating
blood but for all that accepting a
task that, whether or no, must be
gone through with.
Too exclusive an emphasis has
been put in modern psychology on
the problem a personality faces
when he finds his Maynard, priin-
tive impulses and passions inhib-
tied by the more orderly customs
of society. This aspect Of the mat
ter. taken by itself alone, suggests
the picture of an individual unruly
with aboriginal instances facing a
society OF superior orderliness and
feeling himself carnped and sup
pressed. This picture has impor-
tant truth in 1t but 1t does not tell
the whole story.
1t Is also true that fne-grained,
socially minded, well integrated
personalities face society that Is
unjust and cruel. They do not SO
much find their primitive impulses
inhibited by social order as they
find their best ethical values and
insights outraged by social dis
order. To this unethical and in
human state Of affairs they refuse
to become well adjusted.
To war, to the evils OF predatory
economies, to racial prejudice,
tofalito riof1 dictatoreI,iT@ 0r what
ever other social i'll confronts
them, they refuse comfortably to
adjust themselves. 1t Is natural
part Of a total experience which
the personality as a whole delib-
erately chooses, because, depres-
sion or no depression, 1t must be
gone through with for conscience
sake. Anything less would seem
to the person a wretched surren-
der Of his human dignity, SO that
in terms even Of his own personal
satisfaction he would choose It

in this plan to give the enemy what
he wants. Many leading America
Firsters are helping, and they may
try to revive the spirit of that move
ment. And like America First, Peace
Now is drawing some people Of anti
Semitic, Christian Front and even
pro- Nazi and proJap leanings. 1t
has been admitted that Peace Now
would welcome members of the Ger
man-American Steuben Society.
CHARGE BETRAYAL"
The varied elements joining in
Peace Now were seen at a recent
meeting in New York. Sundry
Yorkville characters mingled with
relatively socialite friends of vet
eran pacifists such as Mrs. J. Ser
geant Cram and Mrs. Donald
Budd Armstrong, late America
Firster with four Conscientious
objector sons. All applauded the
chairman, Prof. George w. Hart
mann, of Harvard, former Berlin
student, in saying:
Germans and Japs are no worse
than Americans and British. Our
rulers want to fight to avoid making
just peace. apologize for AIneri-
can foreign policy. Why did we get
into this warp"
We were betrayed" cried the
audience.
Hartmann dismissed Axis afro
cities thus:
There is no brutality equal to the
brutal refusal of Britain and Amer
lea to feed the starving peoples of
conquered Europe after World War
l."
Miss Bessie Simon, secretary of
Peace Now, voices this Nazi prop
uganda line:
MOVEMENT SPREADING
This Hitler talk is all bunk.
Hitler made Germany so strong the
British fought him. We helped them.
The Germans were taking our mar
ketS In Latin America. We are fight
ing right now for markets there and
In the Pacific. This Is an imperialist
war"
To circulate these views, which
tend to weaken the country'S will to
win, Peace Now is organizing on a
nationwide scale. Headquarters are
in New York, but active branches
are planned from coast to coast. Mrs.
Eliza Clark is organizing in Los
Angeles, M. L. Oliver in Sonora,

ent that he contemplated suicide.
Had he not been painting the
"Angelus' he might have commit
ted suicide. But there 1t was, his
work that ought to be carried
through whether he was despond-
ent or not. Now he Is remem-
bered by his work, not by the in
cidental objections he pushed
aside in order to do 1t.
Whoever has a task that digni-
f1es his days, so that, depression
or no depression, he proposes to
see 1t through, has one of the
major prerequisites of mental
and emotional health.
Such suggestions, directed to the
relief Of depression, and assuming
that its origin is in wrong mental
and emotional attitudes, do not, of
course, meet the whole issue.
Some dependency is physically
caused. In such cases the wise
physician Is an indispensable re-
source.
The vast majority Of us, how
ever. who fall victim to occasional
or settled moodiness and gloom
have no such justification. Not
only Is 1t in our power to correct
our dependency, but better yet to
undertake a way Of thought and
life that will prevent 1t. The ideal
Is not to fall into blue moods and
then escape them, but to forestall
them with a life that keeps its zest

Much Of the depression we
struggle with downstream could
have been prevented upstream If
we had been wise. Great convic-
tons to live by, great resources to
live from. great purposes to live
for, the love Of nature, the COM
panionship Of books. the nurture
Of friendship, the fine uses o play,
the satisfactions Of an unashamed
conscience-such factors enter into
a life that keeps its SAVIOR, and
furnish an immunity to despon-
dency which makes cure needless.

Many civilian uses Of paper
were brought about by the, wal
and doubtless will expire when
the war ends. The ration book
and stamps are an example.
Four billion forms and books
requiring rs million pounds of
paper, were turned out by the
Government Printing Office for
the OPA'S rationing program in
the last fiscal year. And they are
still coming.
The Third War Loan drive re-
quired twenty separate printing
jobs, totaling millions of copies OF
posters and manuals, and used tons
of paper.
income taxes, upped to meet
war budgets, have consumed car
loads of paper, not counting the
scrap paper on which taxpayers
do their figuring. Returns to be
flied March 18th, next, will num-
Der 300 million copies and use 8
million pounds of paper.
Many War Paintings
The War Department alone SUBJ
mitS 900 acquisitions a month to the
Government Printing Office for
books, pamphlets, manuals, regula-
ton handbooks, etc. These books
and leaflets, without which the
Army could not train millions of
selectees, run over 40 million copies
a month and range from two to
three hundred pages each.
The Soldiers Handbook was
turned out at the rate of seven
million copies last year alone.
And this consumed 100000 pounds
of paper.
Yet who would say these pub
locations are not necessary?
Consider how directly connected
with the war effort is the printing

Paper is one of the most ex-

by the layman.
