WE'LL twizzle the knobs the portable radio last
night and nothing happens except mirth and melody.
Now, itemize to myself what is missing from this
kaleidoscope panorama? There is silence of many
cracked eggs and vacant thmbes.
Then realize that what my plastic ears are fltering
is the political jabbewocky and the oratorca ummery
that have made the nights hideous recedng gums
There is no campaign shilling going on. For this is
the first Thursday after the first Tuesday in November
and as welcome as rope on wharf
The bipartisan elaboration fatwheeed along during
August, September and November. And always on an
angle of $50 degrees No matter where you spun the
dials you got winning number the circular punch
board.
From dawn to twilight and twice as versa listened
to mpassoned orators saving the land from fate
than debts. They estgmatized with alarm and they
thumbed with pride. Their certified pessmisms
corroborated by sponsored time and their gloomy blue
prints endorsed by static.
Now no matter what history thinks of our duly
elected executives, it must give credit for eecting
them one at time exclude the vice president from
these negotiations because he doesn't count than
corn silk in a shucking contest in Iowa.

Letters From
A Soldier

his mind isn't any danger that
he went through himself, al.
though it obviously must have
been-well, plenty.
What he remembers Is seeing
the marines coming in, laying
down smoke screen--and
then, when they were in the
water, wading up to the beach.
discovering that the smoke
screen wasn't placed right.
Maybe they didn't lay the
smoke close enough. Maybe q
breeze moved it.
In any case, Sgt. Cheesman
remembers seeing the marines
come bursting through the
smoke and up toward the beach.
81 didn't see how any Of them
could get through" he said.
"AlI you had to have was .
couple of well placed guns, be-
cause there they were, coming
straight in, and that smoke be-
hind them. Perfect targets
standing against q white back
ground"

two together In the movie when
he sat on the edge of his seat
and said, What a target"

into a rug-chewing frame of
mind about it.
Your doctors have given you
good advice: TO adopt a child.
So why don't you take it-and
by putting your nose TO the
grindstone of routine child care,
ease the bursting pressure of
emotional Illustration which,
combined with your present ill
ness. is beginning to make you
act like crazy?
You are going far afield to
borrow trouble, in dreaming up
the melodramatic denouement
Of foisting divorce on your hus-
band, when that poor worried
fellow has never for a moment
signified that he wants it.
l imagine the loss of the baby
and the prospect Of never be-
getting children OF his own,
doesn't distress him half so
much as your neurotic perform
ance.
Remember this: His is
mans mind and different from
yours; and / think we may
truthfully say of the normal
man that his fundamental reac-
ton TO the possibility of parent
hood is essentially impersonal-
until his paternity has become
an established fact.
/ surrnise this of your hus-
band Because he loves you
dearly, he is sympathetically
attuned TO your hopes and de-
sires. and inclined to go along
Fundamentally with your pro-
found yearning 70 acquire chill
dren.
I believe he is telling the
simple truth when he says he
would gladly settle for an
adopted child--if that is the
recipe to dry your tears.

Il row with a Democrat over

/ maintained that when he
said that anyone misrepresented
an issue or took a false position,
he must provide a bill of par
ticulars.
His attitude was that I lack a
capacity for craftsmanship.
In a word. he asked me to
accept challenge that no gen.
tleman should or can, and to
be what some call a sport, be-
cause it's politics.
The mental corruption and
degradation in this attitude is
no greater than Mr.. Roosevelt's
disinterment of AL Smith to get
votes in Boston.
1 feel impelled to denounce
the vulgarity, the indecency of
using a dead mans memory to
make a point.
Some of Wendell WILKES fol-
lowers tried it and were
scotched with fine dignity by
Mrs. Willkie.
AL Smith was Mr.. Roosevelt's
political progenitor; AL Smith in
his later years was opposed
to Roosevelt openly, publicly,
frankly.

THESE DAYS
BY George E.
Sokolsky

WINSTON CHURCHILL is,
w after all, an English gentle
man.
He went to Quebec to help
his pal.
He saw that it was not liked
by Americans and he played
no more politics in our back
yard.
If only the diamond and
pearl-bedecked refugees who
infest New York like locusts
could learn from him that the
sound rule for them to follow
is: mind your own business.
They milled around in this
campaign telling Americans
what to do about their own
country as though their Euro
pean superiority could impress
us beyond asking, why. if
they are so smart, did they
mess up their own countries ?"
Or maybe that was politics,
too.

MY MAIL contains an average
1V1 of three letters a day ask
ing for the treatment Of PIN
worms.
The pinworm, or thread
worm, is the smallest worm
which acts as human intesti-
nal parasite.
II can be seen by the naked
eye. however. and is readily
identified because the name
thread worm describes il - il
looks like the Snippings Of white
thread.
II occurs almost exclusively
In children.
II inhabits the lower small
intestine, especially the appen-
dix and rectum.
II develops in enormou
numbers.
IT SELDOM causes any serious
Il disease. although cases have
been reporte of sufficient
numbers accumulating IN the
appendix TO cause symptoms re-
Sembllng appendicitis.
But while no serious disease

they can be very annoying be-
cause at night the worms
wander out from the bowel and
cause great irritation and Itch
ing OF the skin.
Widespread Inflammation Of
the folds of skin around the
buttocks is the result, and the
scratching may infect II.
The parasites usually come
out at night and may be seen
on the bed clothes.
Then they wander back into
the bowel.
For this reason part Of the
treatment is to change the bed
clothes every night and boil the
sheets separately from other
washing.
They do not breed in the
human testine, but their
breeding places attract flies
and other sects and these
light on exposed fruit and leave
the ova on the outer skin and
rind.
The prevention is. hence, very
sinple-to wash all fruit and
vegetables with very hot 10
scalding water before putting
II in the icebox or serving.
The treatment is effective,
but requires patience.

CONTROL BOARD
By PVT. JOHN w. HALL

A familiar sight of a Tuesday or Thursday morning in the coun- tryside around Bradley Field is the full field-pack-equipped 93rd on it's regular weekly ten-mile hike.
 By splitting it's personnel so that half of the outfit takes the hike on Tuesday mornings and the other half on Thursday mornings, the 93rd maintains it's routine no man has yet volunteered to take both hikes.
 This organization has high per centage of men qualified in arms, due to a concentrated effort on the part of the training department, and every man attends one class week on Monday night to hear talks and see latest training films on chemical warfare, aircraft rec ognition, and orientation. Prac- tically every man has attained an excellent proficiency rating in chemical warfare, and every man in the squadron has attended courses in combat fighting, sanita- tion, first aid, scouting and patrol ling, defense against attack by air, and the general courses connected with overseas missions for the past nine weeks.
 The meticulous attention to de- tail and the insistence that every man in the organization attend each and every class required is in the words of the Commanding Off, cer, Captain Frederick Stahuber, in order that every man who goes overseas with the squadron will re- turn without injury.
 The organization has followed a policy of preparedness of high de- gree and, at the same time, has kept the morale of its men at a high peak.
 Next week, this column will be devoted to some of the interesting and humorous aspects of the pro- grams details. 44g
