Save Our "American Way"

Government has grown to be such a giant
in this country and has so many millions
of persons on its payroll, that it is the biggest
problem business and industry are going to
have to contend with in the readjustment peri
cd.
Already there is an army of economic plan
ners at work to keep the check rein Of
government on every private activity. This will
be done under the guise Of preventing infla.
industry will have to figure out ways to op.
crate and exist and employ labor and pay
taxes, in spite of all the. plans that all the
planners can heap upon them.
Very few of the planners are sincerely out
spoken in their desire to restrict government
competition or domination of business and
encourage the individual to 60 out and try
to create the postwar jobs and production
which they talk about.
Most of the planners by innuendo or plain
threats say that if business doesn't maintain
record employment, government will An d
many OF them seem to be hopeful that they
can lay enough stumbling blocks in the way
excuse for saying that government must take
over.
Imagine the spirit of optimism that would
prevail in this nation if business and industry
felt that our government and the powerful
bureaus that now dominate it, were whole
heartedly in favor of promoting private en-
terprise under fair and reasonable regulation
If risk capital was encouraged to take g
chance it is safe to say that our natural re
source industries would experience new growth
after the war; as the world is going to want
the products of our mines, farms and forests
in unheard of quantities, in exchange for the
goods they must sell to us. Why not uphold
the American system for Americans, instead
OF aping in so many ways the socialized sys

time the people of this country began to work
to save our American system instead OF adopt

Daily Prayer
FOR HELPERS OF MEN

In Thine infinite wisdom, O Eter-
nal Father of mankind, Thou hast
put it into the hearts of Thy chill
dren to show compassion to the
unfortunate. We thank Thee for
the countless company of 6 o o d
men and women who are helpers
Of their fellows in multiform ways.
And for the organized philanthro'
ply that this war has produced
for the great project Of meeting
world hunger, and for new
thoughts OF the needy afar, we are
grateful to Thee, the 1nspirer OF
them all. May motives Of mercy
be stronger in our hearts than pas
sis of hatred and revenge. We
would punish the guilty, but pro-
vide for the innocent. Enlarge our
spirits into a realization of human
nterdependence and brotherhood.
Reverently we pray that we may
be as Christ to those in suffering
and need. Amen.-W.T.E.

Civilian NaZis Missing

To date, so far as we have been able to
learn, the Americans haven't found single
civilian Nazi in their progress through Ger.
many. In every village they take they are as
sured that the town officials and other con-
WINGED National Socialists have left. Those who
remain, they told, are just plain, decent
folks, who are glad to see the Yanks because
that means the war is almost over. All they
want is peace and quiet
Well, some Of the civilians are just that,
of course. And certainly some of the most ar
dent Hitlerites have fled. But it's a good safe
bet that the Americans won't meet any ad-
nitted Nazs out of uniform if they travel
all the way to East Prussia. It's going to be
too easy for them to put on bland face and
protest innocence.
And the Americans being strangers there
themselves, won't be able to do much con-
tradicting. They can remember those pictures
Of Hitler's peacetime travels when crowds
jammed streets and auditoriums wherever he
appeared They can remember the newsreels,
and the Hitler broadcasts with their BACKGROUND
Of thousands whooping and heiling.
ANY SoA1 So@AS4oOS uldL The war and the
earth itself haven't swallowed up these fren-
zied throngs. But when it comes to Choosing
whom to trust, the job isn't going to be easy.
In fact, it's going to add up to costly
complicated and confusing problem of military
government. The complications have already
started at the top, as shown by denials by
Secretary Hull and Robert Murphy, General
Eisenhower's chief political adviser, that thew
have had peace dealings with any Germans
whatsoever.
It is natural that they should suspect any
peace overtures Of coming from Hitler agents.
And there might be the equally ready suspicion
that any able and active anti Nazi capable
Of heading government has long since beer

Mother Wore Tights, by Mir
lam Young (Whittlesey $2.50)
Show business has a fascination
for certain type of mind quite
out of proportion to the importance
Of show business, or for that mat.
ter, of the mind itself. Miriam
Y Young was not only born
into show business; her parents
were vaudevillians, having served
apprenticeships in burlesque a n d
other odd places. And as every
graduate Of vaudeville now play
ing with Olsen and johnson, or in
some other revue" will say,
there was something about the old
time vaudevilian that set him
apart. Miss Young thinks it was
bad taste.
But don't get the idea that Miss
Young's Mother Wore Tights is
unsympathetic to show business,
Tor it is exactly the opposite. Moth.
er lived in little California village,
and was first niticed by the great
world Of the stage when as a child
she won pine cakewalk COMPETE
tons, quit school, and went into the
local telephone company.
Mother and two other girls took
4 little money, one day, and went
to San Francisco-I think it was.
Anyway, they tried to sneak into
a show with the help OF a young
box office man, got caught, and
out of it all Mother got job. She
started ION the line" and later
worked up a sister act with an
other girl in the company, which
was the Pacific Coast Floradors
company, if anybody is interested
Their earliest job was in British
Columbia, where they were booked
into theater called the Casino.
The difficulty was that the place
turned out to be a saloon, and tn.
two girls were almost forced tt
sleep in the street because they tolc
one landlady after another where
they were working.
MotHer was one OF the NedrL-
of-gold people. She really loved al
most everybody, but none quite sc
whole heartedly as certain
dancer named Burt. Burt loved
dancing just as whole -'heartedly
and Mother won him by letting
him teach her the finer points
and at last doing a letter perfec
imitation of her future husband
Mother was placid and easy-going
but far from stupid. And she wa!
odd. She hated to spend money
for clothes.
Miss Young has a lot to say
about Mother and the lost era O.
vaudeville, much Of it amusing.

When the Germans counter
attacked one point on the line,
Pfc. Jerome Quinlan, company
first aid man of Rockaway
Beach, N. j., had two wounded
men on his hands, so he elect
ed to stay with them rather
than withdraw. During the
next two days as a prisoner"
he not only took care Of them
despite constant American
artillery and air attacks--but
also organized and helped
treat German wounded.
When the Yanks and FIJI.
successfully attacked again,
Quinlan was in full charge of
a German hospital caring for
IL wounded Americans and so
German patients.

Wilmer Of Franklin, N. j., lived
in Germany. Now he is Sew
enth army prisoner of war in

an excellent memory. The 9TH
err day a captured German SOL

intelligence needed certain in

Eric took a closer look at
the Jerry and told him he
might as well a * because
they knew all about him any

German his name, his home

which trolley he took to work.

Pvt. James P. Scirotto Of Mo-

first eggs he had seen in many
months. Suddenly the Germans
counterattacked and he drop

He accounted for several
Germans, but when the fight
ended, he found they had ac-

them hopelessly smashed, even

The dim gloom of February con-
cealed many a housekeeping defect
which pops up to plague us when
the clear skies Of March reveal all.
We know what to do with drab
curtains and murky window panes,
but when 1t comes to removing the
film from polished furniture-that
Is something else again.
There are those who say, "Never
touch your good mahogany with
soap and water" There are others
dixie ourselves) who say good soap
and water never hurt anything
II you know how to handle it. The
better your furniture, the less danger
there is Of harming it. Soapsuds
not only do a good cleaning job
but you always feel that surfaces are
clean when they have their faces
washed with warm water and soap.
Fix up a pail Of warm water.
Into each gallon Of water beat
up with your hands two tablespoons
Of mild soap flakes. Also add three
tablespoons of turpentine to the
solution, and make q solemn
promise to change the water the
minute 1t looks gray. A soft sponge
is best for washing, and clean,
highly absorbent cloths for drying.
Old turkish towels or old linen are
perfect for this purpose.
Use Clean Sponge.
Swish the sponge through your
warm water. press all the water you
can from the sponge. and then 60
quickly over a small surface Of wood.
If the sponge is throughly clean and
without grit there is no danger of
marring the surface.
Do not permit a moment to elapse
between your sponging and drying
with a cloth. Then go on to the
next area. If you are doing the
baby grand piano work on an area
about 20 inches square and dry i'm

wipe one leg and dry 1t, or one
arm. ...
The only way you can hurt the
finish is to permit the soap and
water to remain on the furniture
until 1t penetrates the varnish. If
the telephone rings, wipe the wet
area dry before answering it-as
10 minutes may make a considerable
difference in the success of your
project.
There are also two schools OF
thought on the furniture polish

Pines Should Be Drained

Sudden departures on service or.
ders make it necessary to use great
care in closing the house. With
plumbing and heating installations
to be thought of, as we'll as careful
locking up and inspection of roofs
for leaks. it is major operation.
All water should be drained out OF
the plumbing and heating systems,
If the man of the house is in the
habit of taking care of these things,
and has done it before, he probably
knows all the complications. But if
he is being rushed to attend to many
details, it would be best to call in the
