THE AXE IS
THE PATH
BY RUTH TAYLOR
A Meditation for the New Year
with due appreciation to Victor
Olander for the idea)

THE axe is the path into the forest.
When the first intrepid voyagerS
b1ayed the unknown seas to seek Il
refuge on our shores, they found here
virgin wilderness. There were no paths
but those created by the wild beasts
and still wilder SavageS. With their
axes they hewed out homes, built their
villages and erected their StockadeS.
With their axes they hewcd Il path
way into the forest. felled trees for
bridges across turbulent waters, pene-
trating deeper and deeper into the
woods until they crossed the mountains
and reached the plains. With their
axes they split the timber for the
wagons that freighted them to other
forests. These they conquered in like
manner until at last they came 10
where the waters of the blue Pacific
Tapped The. western shore.
The axe is the path into the forest -
The free man must ever forge, ahead
info the unknown. The axe is the sym
bol of his own strength, of his ability
to utilize his own talents to carve out
his own path into Il new world. The
path he hcWS. others will follow, to 90
on where he leaves off. His is the re-
SponSibility to make his part of the
path run true and smooth, that those
who follow after may speed to their
own task.
.'l'hC axe is the path into the forest y
We are in the forest of war. Only
HS we WELD our own axe. Justify and
wisely, will we find the path out Only
as we work as did those earlier
pioneers, from dawn until sunset will
we carve our pathway to the mountain
peaks from which we can see the
plains of peace beyond Only as we
lup off the mOn-cSSrnlial branches, cut
down the poison growth of hates, SuS-
piCi0nS and prejudice, level the trees
that hide our vision of Il free world,
can we he worthy followers of those
who made this country of ours. AS
they who preceded us, welding their
axes, built II nation of the free, 50 can
we, welding our axes, build Il Free
World. The power is in Us. We need
but the will To act.
The axe, now as always, is the path
into the forest

1T would be an unhappy and tragic
mistake to waste the lives of thousands

pound the NaZis into defeat" he added
In Los Angeles, Senator Albert Il.
Chandler, Kentucky, said that the

tribute twO-thirds of the troops needed
for second front assault. He asserted
such an attack would be "a second
Tarawa" and little short of mass

I'VE should refuse to do it," he ex-
claimed
Chandler urged relentless bombing
of Germany before Il land assault is
tried and continued:
I'VE want to whip Germany in the
shortest time possible. But let's be

why should we furnish more than
equal share of the men for the inva-
sion? If we are to furnish 20 per cent
or more we will be furnishing far too
great Il proportion. At least it should
be Il 5000 proposition between us and
