 Offenses for which civilians have been fined or imprisoned are: ap- bearing in the streets during for bidden hours, trespassing beyond specified limits, and, in one case, going outdoors at night with a lighted cigarette. The officer who tried the case doubts the latter off, fense was deliberate.

to stand and talk in the streets. Throughout most of the re- zion, they are permitted in the streets only on certain hours of the day. In one area, for instance, it is between noon and 1900, when housewives do their shopping. Farm workers are permitted to go to the fields at dawn, but must re- turn by 1730. Only the American appointed mayor, doctor, priest and town policeman have permits good at any daylight hour.
 Each house bears on it's door a placard listing the inhabitants, their occupations and ages.
 In each of the 20-odd towns in the territory, American authori- ties, after careful checking, have named temporary burgomeisters, who are responsible for order and food distribution. None is paid, but some towns already are installing tax systems. Food distribution, ex- cept in few cases where whole villages were evacuated to camps in the rear, is left entirely to Ger man officials and varies from vil- lage to village. In Cangelt, each resident is allotted 300 pounds of potatoes to carry him until the next harvest. This same ration was accorded under German rule, and the old ration cards are still used.
 On the whole, there have been few cases of disobedience, and no

 At the Yardbird Night last Wednesday, the Club was happy to play host to CWO and Mrs. Rene Pittet on the occasion of their third wedding anniversary. Mir. Pittet is the popular bandmaster and the musicmakers showed their feelings toward him by playing a special arrangement of "I Love You Truly" for the Pittets to waltz to-.
 Quite a large crowd was present at the affair and the welkin rang out with the stentorian voice of Sgt. Bob Miller, the Medics chal- lenge to Melchior.
 Mystery of the night though was, where were the Wacs? Only few of the faithful "Bani" Jersey, Betty Harvey among them-turned out for the affair and those that weren't present certainly missed 8 grand time.

 Tobacco Road in Wartime
 Erskine Caldwell's new novel Tragic Ground" centers around his main character, Spence Douthit, who is Jester all over again with only the background slightly changed. Spence brings his hillbilly family to the city to work in a de- fense factory, only to be left stranded when the plant is moved away. No job to pay the rent, no money to get back home, but Spence doesn't really mind the poverty and when he is at last dis lodged from his miserable slum he is wistfully sorry to go, simply he is used to living there. After years Of "Tobacco Road", books like this cease to shock the reader. Instead, because We are now prepared to study human behavior on the ami nal level, they prove humorous and charming. If you're Caldwell fan you'll be highly pleased at this.
 More Suds in Your Eye
 The three Rabelaisian graces who swept "Suds in Your Eye" to best-sellerdom are at it again in High Time", Mary Lasswell's latest. Miss Feely, Miss Tinkham, and Mrs. Ras- mussen, composed of red blood, common sense, and an infinite capacity for taking beer, find their own little niche in "war work". That they must also maintain a battered roof over their heads and sufficient beer in their dummies" gives rise to several problems "to drink over". It's hilarious reading, escape literature at it's best!
 We, The People
 The latest Book-of- the Month selection is "The American Char acter", by D. w. Brogan. Intended to explain Americans to Britons, it is an account of how we behave, and an explanation of why we be- have that way. The author is a Glasgow-born Irishman now Pro- lessor of Political Science at Cam bridge University and he knows America better than most Ameri- cans do. He sees things from a fresh and unconventional point of view, and you'll be glad to know that he is NOT convinced that this country is on it's last legs. It's a first-rate job of reporting.

Say, have you seen the swell job that Bill Greenebaum did in the upstairs recreation room? He and Mac groaned and g-runted under the weight of sofas, divans, easy chairs, ping pong tables and a pool table until, with the dexterity of finished chess players, they moved each into it's correct place.

it gave to the people of this country
and to the world a document of which
William f. Gladstone said that it
was "the most remarkable work
known TO me in modern times to have
been produced by the human intellect
at single stroke"
The delegates to this historic
convention felt also as if they had
assisted at a miracle, for George

lean historians, says that "they (the
delegates) were AWE-STRUCK at

our great charter of liberties in the

SURVIVED A GREAT CIVIL

FRAMEWORK IN WHICH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE
BUILDED THE MOST ENVIED,
THE MOST POWERFUL AND
THE FREEST GOVERNMENT IN

The GI Bill of Rights

THE CT Bill of Rights legislation
L has now been UNANIMOUSLY
approved by both houses of Con-
gress.
This exceptional action assures
the nation, as well as the servicemen
and women, that veterans of World
War II will not return, as did the
veterans of the first World War, to a
country that is insensible toward
their problems and ungrateful of
their suffering and sacrifices.
The organizations which origi-
mated the legislation, the citizens who
supported it and the lawmakers who
have voted for it deserve the credit
for it-no one else does.
The work is not quite finished,
but it's finale is in sight.
The bill as passed by the House
of Representatives differs in detail,
and even in some important details,
from the version passed previously
by the Senate.
But there is no difference IN
PRINCIPLE between the two.
THE Senate bill would provide

Students Obtain Practical Experience
In Work eriiods

SUCCESSFUL operation of the CO.
- operative work-study plan OF
education in several of Detroit's high
schools is shown in survey of edu-
cational institutions in this area.
Outstanding and nationally
known for the tested success of the
system is the Wilbur Wright High
School, where the cooperative idea
has been in effect since 1923.
Before students are permitted
to enroll in this institution, they
must take APTITUDE TESTS which
measure their MECHANICAL ABIL-
ITY. Boys at Wilbur Wright attend
classes for two Deeks, then work in
the shops for a similar period. They
are paired, one studying While the
other works.
Co-ordinators visit the shops and
check on the boys progress. They
also check to see that the employer
doesn't keep an expert worker at the
same task, rather than stagger the
type of work. JOB ROTATION is an
absolute requirement for graduation.
Both in study classes and in shop
work, the school attempts to lay
foundation for an ALL-AROUND
mechanical knowledge, rather than
train specialists in skilled trades.
The curriculum at the Wilbur
Wright school is divided into three
major fields: Manufacturing, bust
ness and maintenance. The first
classification deals with auto me-
chanics, the second office work, and
the third with such trades as cleo
tricians and carpenters.
EARL L. BEDELL, supervising
T. vocational educator at the school,
declares that "any one with mechan-
ical ability has a high l. O."
Mr.. Bedell says that the system
in use in Detroit schools is not the
same as that at Antioch College. In
Detroit the student is required to
take employment on job RELATED
TO HIS COURSE Of study, while the
plan at Antioch emphasizes employ
ment not for its type but for the
CONTACTS and the MATURITY
ESTABLISHED THROUGH 1T.
He cited as an illustration, the
fact that a student studying engi-
neering would be allowed to milk
cows in his employment at Antioch.
There, the job need not be related in
any way with the students course of
study, being simply a dread and
butter" proposition.

DR.. Warren r.. Bow, Superln-
tendent of Detroit schools, says of
the practicability of cooperative
education: '1t's a good thing, par
ticularly now"
OTHER Detroit public schools
" utilizing the cooperative system
are the High School of Commerce,
and the Goldberg Girls Vocational
School.
At Commerce there are five CLASH
fications: Typewriting, shorthand,
bookkeeping, office machines and re-
failing. The first four take in girls
and boys from the age of Is.
Students study in school classroom
for four hours each morning, then
work four hours in the afternoons to
gain the PRACTICAL EXPERT
ENCE of working in office at
mosphere. In this school, however,
the students are not paired.
In the retailing division of the
High School of Commerce, students
follotD the same system of study and
work hours, spending mornings in
the classroom and then being SENT
INTO STORES to learn selling
through actual experience.
No student is paid less than 90
cents an hour, and according to
school heads, employers at the
present time want MORE WORK
ERS than the school can supply.
At THE Goldberg Girls Voca-
n tional School the girls are trained
in cafeterian work. They report to
the school for two-week periods in
the classroom, after which they enter
regular cafeteria employment for
similar periods.
The girls are paired, and while
one is taught how to set tables and
the proper method of serving foods,
the other is PUTTING THE
KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICE
in actual employment.
Success Of the cooperative edu-
cation plan in Detroit schools is re-
Elected in high schools throughout
Michigan, according to Mr.. Bedell,
who cites those in Flint and Jackson
in particular.
He points out that the new aero
mechanics high school in Detroit,
where students are trained in fuse
lage repair work and engine me-
chanics, will soon be put on cooper
alive basis. .

themselves sufficient protection,
and had made their preparations
to fight their big effort in the
adjoining Liri Valley. where
they threw back every initial
effort of the British. Also in
mountains north of the town.
the Nazis were well prepared
and held the first attacks Of the
Poles.
But the unnoticed French
plunged easily onward atop the
mountains TO come out into the
open, upon the Nazi lines UP the
Liri, far in the rear of the place
where the Germans were hold
ing the British.
THE Hitlerites had to decide
L Immediately whether to fight
on and risk the chance of being
surrounded, or retire. They ran,
or as many as could. escaped
back TO the Hitler line, and
there the Poles eventually faced
them again in the historic
fighting around Piedmonte.
The Nazis also failed to ex-
pect the size of the French and
American forces which con-
fronted them on the rest OF the
line southwestward down to the
sea. In fact, they seem to have
been fooled completely by the
whole offensive.
OBVIOUSLY they were con-
" fused and bewildered by our
heavy disposition of forces-our
'regrouping' as our general
staff blandly called it in their
first communicates.
In short, the Nazis did not
have enough manpower TO de-
fend their whole line. under
estimated ours, had ours wrongly
placed, chose excellent spots TO
concentrate their strength, but
in doing this. left the weak
spots which we found.
Our overall strategy plan
worked equally well. We turned
on hotter and hotter pressure,
threatening invasion from Eng
land daily. thus to keep Won
Runstedts forces pinned down
in France and the lowlands, so
they could not reinforce their
bewildered comrades in Italy.
The Russians helped out by
exerting pressure attacks around
Vitebsk, in the central part of
the eastern line, and elsewhere.
TO NAIL the vastly strewn
l. Nazi forces down even
more filmly where they were,
we bombed all railroad lines up
the Italian boot and even the
Bremen Pass in advance.
The Germans just dared not
spare men from the western or
eastern fronts even If railroads
had been available to carry
them to Italy.
Future developments Will
turn mainly on this manpower
deficiency. The Italian terrain
10 Rome is such that the Ger
mans could put up stiff resist
ance from mountain positions
covering the Appian Way as
far back as the capital. Their
decision, however, is apt TO
rest on whether. and how soon,
they can get more troops in,
and materiel.
Their fighting at Piedmonte
and Pico, particularly, showed
determination for death rather
than retreat. and in nowise
confirmed Hitler's newspaper
editorials. Obviously, he gave
his editor and his troops oppo-
site instructions.
