EDITORIAL
Soldiers Versus Civilians

Soldier versus Civilian last weeks
topic of discussion in the Medical Detachments
orientation classes. The bulk Of the present
members of our Army, it was pointed out,
people not too far removed from civilian
life They represent all classes. They are the
butcher, baker, farmer, lawyer, doctor and
student. These soldiers all in the Army
for specific purpose and that is to attain
victory in battle. The soldier is like player
on a team; he has to live up to the rules. This
means that he has to follow regular hours to
which he has not been accustomed He cam
not speak freely he did. He does
not have to worry about food, shelter or cloth
ing:
The civilian way of life is almost opposite
that of the soldier The civilian can say what
he thinks He can quit his job. If he doesn't
like the President he can vote against him. In
time Of war the civilian who remains at home
has to submit to restricted way of life just
as the soldier His food, gas and lumber
are rationed. He earns more money, but he
has to pay higher prices for what he wants
and his taxes more numerous and higher.
He can longer buy that new car each year.
What has actually happened is that the civil
ian in war time has become home-front sol
dier who is supporting the soldiers who are in
camps and the battefields of this war; 1t is
the desire of both soldier and civilian to pre-
serve and protect the democratic way of life
and they both fighting to that end.

The Key to Russion Advance

The following statement recorded by 'OSO
monitors from a Moscow radio broadcast
and transmitted by Owl gives, without any
fanfare or superfluity, the key to the Russian
advance:
We are advancing so rapidly because we
are fed to the teeth with the Germans.
We want to finish with them at last. We
want to live This is simple and yet this is
the key to our advance.
We say in our hearts: The fourth summer!
We are doing everything that there shall be
no fifth
Our men are forging ahead with this secret
thought: Maybe there will be no fourth winter
We are filled with great impatience and it has
wings on its shoulders. We are pushing ahead
because we are at the frontiers of Germany.
The wounded mortar gunner told me:
This is a misfortunel They say | will have to
stay away for month. | began to comfort
him. They will do without him quite well. He
replied angrily: I've got to get to Berlin. They
burned my wife
I'VE are advancing so quickly because not
only this mortar gunner but all OF us have to
get to Berlin at all cost. And it is clear to
everyone now we shall be there soon.

Prayer for the Week
ga SOLDIERS PRAYER"
(From the South Pacific)


All Mighty God:-
The faith you have given me now is
shakeless. Into the valley in the shadow Of
death you have walked with me, embracing
my conscience to fear no evil as | walked
not alone.
Death speaking in one ear and you
speaking in the other is an experience |
wish everyone could feel early in their life,
as it gives deeper and more sincere
appreciation in you as God and COM
forter.
Having faced this experience, Dear God,
| know you now.
Up until now I've failed to understand
the things the preachers, teachers and my
mother tried to tell me. Even some things
would have chanced by life for to be true,
I've learned they were not won't say | am
wise yet, as | am too young, but | have
learned something graceful And Dear God,
pray from my humblest and most sincere
thoughts, please let more of us know you
as I've learned you.
Let them know you in due time in their
homes on their jobs and everywhere, so
they will be able to settle national and in
ternational problems in peace instead of
bloodshed and death. This they could have
done this time if more had known you as
do now. Steel fire and birthstone were
made to beautify and comfort your world
and not to destroy it as men now doing.
So, be with all of us, Dear God Lead US,
give more faith in what is right and guide
us in it's path all the days of our life Amen:

TO You Nice People
Back Home

Each week, several thousand parcels ad
dressed to GIs overseas arrive at the post office
here broken and torn, with contents falling out.
Employees have to rewrap the packages and try
to place loose articles in the proper boxes. SO
if you want that serviceman of yours to receive
what you send him in good condition, use
box of metal, wood, solid fiberboard cor
rugated Use strong gummed paper twine
to fasten the package. Put cushioning material
on the inside to prevent rattling or loosening OF
the contents Shoe boxes good.

And clouds filled with happiness.
When there is no more sadness,

When this turmoil of war is o er,
And for these shores you'll make

My life without you is empty,
And things are lonely and bare,
III always remember you my darling,

When your weary soul is rested,
And your eyes are aglow again,
Will you still love me, darling,
Just as you said it then?
Darling, when see you again9

Loves Philosophy

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the clasp one another
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasp the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me2
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single
All things by law divine
In one another's being mingle
Why not | with thine?

The first boxing show of the New Year will be presented to- morrow night at the State Armory on Colt and Washington Streets. Promoter Jim Munde1l announces the advance demand for tickets has been the greatest of any show presented locally.
 The number of female fans who attend regularly is indeed a trib- ute to the gentleman1y manner in which MT. Mundell conducts his boxing shows. An exceptionally large number will be present to- morrow night, judging by the re- served seats already sold to lady customers.
 The main event of the evening is causing no end of discussion throughout the yard. It is truly an out and out "grudge fight" bring ing together Al Albeit and Joe Pop ieski, both light-heavyweights, go- ing six rounds to decision. Need less to say, the followers of the two fighters are using more than words to back their favorite man.
