Cowan decided to paint the new

proud of me-" Walton came over to

Should The Soldier Think

Some say that soldier shouldn't think.
The Army can do his thinking for him, they say.
His job is to Soldier Now, there is some
thing to be said in defense of this opinion.
There is, however, something to be said in
behalf of the soldier who is addicted to think
ing for himself.
1t would be bigotry to that
called on to fight should not be allowed to
think through to his own satisfaction why he
has to fight. He is told what he is fighting
for He knows, too, that there are approx
mately eighty-nine Postwar planning commit
tees, groups, and agencies studying and plan
ming the kind of world he is to live in after
the bones of the Axis have been inferred.
What still remains untold is why he is in this
war. What did he do, the thinking soldier asks,
to deserve this obligation?
Should he blame Hitler? Pearl Harbor?
Thinking the question through clearly, one is
apt to see Hitler and Pearl Harbor as effects
not causes-of civilization that has gone
to the dogs. One is apt to blame the whole of
mankind for failing in its duty to its creator
The world civilization is sick, and the pres
ent war is the telltale symptom Of this sickness.
Civilization cannot be bought with unemploy-
ment Insurance. housing projects, automobiles,
and frigidaires. Civilization means making of
our common heritage the very best we can.

Tell Me Mountain

= Mountaln-by whose mighty hand
Were you in beauty shapen:
Did God with majestic loving stroke
Prepare and set ye down upon the plains:
Or were you but tiny hill
Grown mighty now in ancient wisdom
Inch by inch, as ably ye have proved ability
To keep silent when Man and Earth were mad?
Q Mountan-what beauty ye reflect
AS sun plays peek-a-boo in clouds
Casting shadows thy countenance
10 make thee but a changeng seem:
Such beauty thine the silver clouds
Float lovingly round thy balden dome
And cover it as breezes whisper in thy ear
The secrets that ye make your own?
Mountain-whence thy rugged strength
Io bear so lightly thine aged back
The weight of thousand oaken trees:
To harbour in thy bosom safe
Myriad animals who burrow there:
Unflinching thy wrinkled face
10 angry elements and receive the furious lash
Thor in his raging vents on thee?
Mountan-whose are the tears
That trickle down thy furrowed face
And nourish in their downward course
The grateful living thing held close.
10 thy peaceful bosom, yet come forth
In clear and ripping stream
| o mosten parched throat of fearful Man
Living in desert at thy eet-shadowed by thy beauty
