of those among us who have erred or
sinned against us.
1t teaches us to be MERCIFUL
toward those over whom we have
rightfully prevailed.
It teaches us to be JUST in all
our judgments, and in all our opin-
ions and decisions.
Our American IDEALS are de-
rived from the Bible.
The FREEDOM we enjoy and
cherish is a fulfllment of biblical
promise.
The institutions of JUSTICE we
maintain and uphold emulate bibh-
cal teachings and example.
The principles of BROTHER
HOOD we practice are in the biblical
spirit and inspiration.
Our American belief in EQUAL
ITY is of biblical origin.
Our American faith in OPPOR-
TUNITY is a biblical concept.
We should surely know the Bible
BETTER, and appreciate it MORE.
A week devoted annually to en-
phasize upon it, instruction in it,
inspiration from it, is wonderfully
GOOD thing.
TT IS to the great credit of the lay
L mems national committee, which
first suggested and now sponsors the
National Bible Week observance,
that a national expression of re-
ligious reverence was held to be of
such vast Importance.
It is to the greater credit of the
American people that the National
Bible Week observance, now in it's
fourth year, has become an earnest
and universal observance and is
assured of being PERMANENT
observance.
Let us always be strong and
steadfast in our faith, for it is in such
faith that America is rich and pow
erful-and beyond that, it is in such
faith that the hope of mankind for
peace and dignity and happiness is
kindled and will be ultimately made
secure.

Our Book Of Faith

THIS is the week annually desig.
L mated in the United States as
National Bible Week, for the encour-
agement of the American people in
their better understanding and
higher appreciation of our national
BOOK OF FAITH.
The Bible is HOLY book.
1t is a WISE book.
Il is INSTRUCTIVE.
1t is INSPIRING.
1t is BEAUTIFUL.
1t is COMFORTING.
The American people BELIEVE
in the Bible
They LOVE and RESPECT it.
They HONOR and TRUST it.
The Holy Bible is truly our
American BOOK OF FAITH, to
which we turn in time of triumph or
tribulation, confident of it's wisdom
and supremely sure of its utter
goodness.
We read it instinctively with
REVERENCE.
We read it trustingly with
HOPE.
We read it unfailingly with
PROFIT.
The Bible is source of
COURAGE.
1t is a source of STRENGTH.
WHEN the Bible is read in time
w of tribulation, it brings patience
to those under stress, spirit to the
downhearted, solace to the stricken
When it is read in time of
triumph, it brings a consciousness Of
responsibility, an understanding of
the virtues of mercy and compassion
The humble are made STRONG
by the Bible.
The proud are made TOLERANT
by it.
Indeed, the Bible is holy, and
our American faith in it is the richest
thing in our national life.
It teaches us to be CHAIR
TABLE to those among us who have
had misfortune.
1t teaches us to be FORGIvING

The Badge of Honor

uERE is letter that we feel every
L reader of this newspaper should
study.
''To the Editor:
IT think something should be
done to inform the people here at
home just what an honorable dis
charge button looks like. It might
save other veterans of this war from
the humiliation I suffered on a
Woodward street car recently when
woman passenger made extremely
sighting remarks about my civilian
clothes.
'Her observations were so insult
ing that felt called upon to show
her my service ribbons to prove I
had not lodged service but had com.
pleted my service after being
wounded at Attu.
II was wearing discharge pin
in my coat lapel, but apparently she
never had seen one, and so did not
recognize it.
could you publicize the dis.
charged veterans pin and ask the
people to be careful before inferring
some returned soldier might be a
Stacker?
Prom my own experience
know that returned veterans do not
want lot of gushing sentiment nor
any of this "hero" stuff.
But certainly it makes us feel
little bitter and bleak to be called
slackers."
(Signed) ROE j. STEPHENS.
Now no responsible newspaper
prints letters to the editor without
first checking their authenticity. We
checked back on the writer of the
above communication.
We learned he was one of the first
men indicted from Detroit.
He became a corporal in the Cloth
Coast Artillery anti aircraft division.
He saw two years five months

This button (the original is in gold

lapel means the honorably dis
charged from the armed services in World
War III. IL is suggested that this picture be
posted on bulletin boards so more persons
will recognize il.
service, IA months of which COM
prised overseas duty.
While fighting at Attu in the
Aleutians he was wounded and ulti-
mately invalided out of the army
with an honorable discharge.
He wears the Purple Heart
This newspaper believes it is in
famous that such returned soldiers
as Cpl. Stephens be subjected to
sights and indignities upon their
return to civilian life.
We realize that parents with sons
in the service may with some justifi-
cation resent the fact that apparently
healthy young men in the same age
group as their sons, are safe at home.
However, we appeal to such
parents to withhold rash judgment.
Draft regulations are so sweep
ing and inclusive that, ordinarily, if
young man of draft age is not in
uniform, there is very good reason.
Especially, we think parents and
all civilians should familiarize them
selves with the honorable discharge
pin. Ny
1t is badge of honor.
1t marks its wearer as one who
has served his country in this war.
All returned soldiers and sailors
and marines should wear it.
Everybody else should learn to
know it.

4 DOLE BERLE. the old var
sity brain-truster. has cut
himself liberal slab Of UNI
bragg because Gov, Dewey IN
his Charleston speech, said he
(Berle) once advocated a system
whereby the government would
tell each of us where we would
work. al what and for how
much.
Without passing judgment as
TO whether Mr.. Berle did or did
not say that. l must warn HIM
that If he does repudiate these
ideas he is out of step with his
eminent colleagues. Mrs. Roose-
welt and Harry Hopkins, and
reads himself right out OF the
cult.
Not long after Pearl Harbor.
Mrs. Roosevelt came out for
precisely the system that Mr..
Dewey described and with
little more emphasis and detail.

AS a logged reader of Mrs.
RooSevelt's Journalism, a highly
profitable gift which descended
on her suddenly in a dead heat
with the election returns OF
1882. / have learned 10 clip and
file away her columns in little
punches tied with red ribbon.
And so, going straight 10 my
treasure on reading of Mr..
Bcrle's denial / found that Mrs.
Roosevelt wrote on one Of her
rare visits TO the White House
exactly as follows:
i've come tn one very clear
decision, namely that all of US,
men and women I'm the services
and men and women at home,
should be drafted and told what
job we are to do. The only
way can see to get the maxi
mum service out OF our cifi-
zens il to draft us all and tell
us where we can he most use
full and where our work IL
needed"
THE other day. moreover. Mrs.
L Roosevelt expressed impa-
tience with the quaint Ameri-
can way which permitted a
young man TO become a doctor
merely because he wanted TO be
doctor and to- sit for patients
wherever he elected TO, regard
less of the community needs.
II don't know whether my

ism or fascism." Mr. Dewey
said at Charleston. "He can

Actually, il is communism.

because such controls are in
herent in all three.
Anyway, it certainly is Hit
lerism for which. by a charming
irony, President Roosevelt has
been known 10 express a degree
of distaste. because Hitler. as
you probably remember. bore y
down with great emphasis on
the folly as he saw IL, of per-
hitting young Heinie to be-
come a doctor or violinist when
there was a current shortage of
plumbers or airplane mechanics.
Or. having permitted a young
man TO become doctor, Hitler
reserved the power to select the
site of his practice.

TULY 22-(From Chicago.) For long time it
y has been common knowledge that the Congress
of Industrial Organization has been all out for
the Democratic party, all of which was quite
acceptable. Politicians have one objective, which
is to win. You get votes wherever you can and
ask no questions.
But there's distinct difference between hav
ing the support of pressure group and accepting
their votes on the one hand, and on the other
hand, having that pressure group move into your
family circle, lock, stock and barrel attempting to
tell you how to run your affairs and what you
shall do, and asserting approval or censure and
that's what they found in Chicago.
"The man from down the way who vOlun-
teered to help cut the lawn had moved in and
taken possession of the house, he was ordering the
hired help to move the masters bedroom into the
cellar his feet were on the table, cigar ashes all
over the rug, and he was issuing edcts right and
left as to what would and would not be done in
the future.
1.-The little man, of course, was Sidney Hill
man, and he was backed by the CLIO, President
Philip Murray and the whole CIO executive COM
mttee.
"And to orthodox Democrats, who have rather
discounted the rumOrs and gossip of the last few
years about the CIO inftration into the Demo-
cratic party control it was experience that left
an ominous ache in the pit of the stomach.
ut was the first time the fact occurred to
them that the piper would have to be paid sooner
A UG. 7-(From Washington.) Sidney Hilman
"A wants the government made TO order for his
purposes. He wants the kind of government that
will take his orders, and if it disagrees with him
point, then he's against it. If he's invited to
wedding, he wants to be the groom, and if he's
invited to funeral, he wants to be the corpse.
1.-THE Democratic party, to which Hillman has
attached himself like leach, isn't permanently
welded to any particular philosophy of govern
ment. The party leaders neither New Dealers
reactionaries. They let their policies sway
with the public wind -.
"They know that the war is going to be over
of these days, and they know that when it
is, more than 100000 soldier votes are going to
come rushing back to the United States -.
ITO the men at the front, Hillman is one of
the men who was leading strikes for higher wages
while they were fighting in foxhoes for $50
month. He's one of the men who took over their
jobs while they went to war; and then refused to
work at them unless they got far more money for
it than the soldiers had ever drawn in their lives.
THAT may not be fair to Hillman, but it's
practical approach to political situation that is
shaping up"
