NIPPING THE NIP

1t appears as more and more Jap vessels are sunk that the
enemy is suffering from myOpia when it comes to being able to
diagnose the positions of our task forces. A large measure of
success in the prevention Of the foe carrying out accurate obser-
yations has been due to the vigilance of the fleet air arm.
Ever since the bloody days of Kula bay, Nipponese fighting
craft have been running into trouble wherever they have en-
enemy is, our vessels have been either able to sideStep large
numbers of rising sun ships or if equal to the job, have sought
out the enemy and humbled him at every turn. For over a
year the whereabouts of the Japanese navy has been the prime
topic of conversation at naval conferences and even at knife
and fork clubs.
Americans may pride themselves on their use of common
sense and the best of judgment in coping with the Japanese
navy. Now with super units the Pacific fleet is engaged in
employing traps and ruses of various types to decimate and de-
stroy entirely the foes last vestige of protection to the Nip
homeland.
United States naval scout planes have felt for the pulse of
the Jap navy and have had no difficulty finding it. Typical of
quick location of the enemy and getting him before his fighting
ships have had an opportunity to throw shells at our sea forces
has been recent action between Luzon in the Philippines and
the Maranas.
American naval filters located the Jap fleet and from naval
flatops torpedo planes, bombers and fighters took off to give the
Japs a sound threshng. The Pacific fleet still has its Sunday
punch ready for the apprehensive Nip admirals who are evil
IDENTIFY scurrying for their kennels with their tails between their
legs. Eventually, unless our naval pilots deprive the fleet of
its fun, the remaining Japanese units will be corneTed and fore
ed to fight it out tOe-tO-tOe. But it looks like the buzz boys are
going to whip the Jap navy sngehanded. The Tokoyites never
knew such wrath could come from the heavens they so eagerly
seek. Il
Evidently in the last sea fight the Japs thought the Ameri-
can naval units operating off Saipan would be weak. What they
failed to see was that the Pacific fleet was made up of at least
large units, one capable of supporting the land action against
support the Japs might send to the Marianas. Again the Japs
have learned a lesson. We heartily endorse the Jap sea lords
washing out the mouths of those Nippon filters who report back
to their carriers that they have sunk any number of our ships.
That's what most mothers do to their children who persist in
either swearing promiscuously or in plain, unaduterated lying.

RETAILERS CARRY ON

The Hon. Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin, in discussing prob
lens that the retail stores of the nation face in supplying the
consumer under a multitude of restrictions, said:
81 believe there is no other group of Americans more con-
cerned with the future of America than are the retail mer-
chants. These retailers believe in the equality of opportunity,
in justice administered impartially. They want to live and let
live in an atmosphere of freedom. The retailers of America will
spare no effort to win the war and to restore and reassert the
principles and the philosophy of life and government that have
made America great"
Congressman Wiley pointed out that difficult as has been
the experience of retailers under the OPA, they have upheld con-
tinuation of the Price Control Act as a war necessity. "How-
ever, it could have been better administrated. AS soon as the
war ceases, and probably before, government restrictions and
interference must be reduced to a minimum"

Children Can Be
Protected Against
Diphtheria Free

No parent would let his child starve
to death as long as food could be OBJ
tanned. Why then, should not parents
be aroused to the needless loss of a
child's life when protection against
diphtheria is available at all times
and free at that.
A great killer of little children, es-
p~ecially those under 5 years of age,
diphtheria is nevertheless the easiest
of all serious diseases to prevent. Pa
rents can have their children i%mmunized
against it by a simple, harmless treat
ment so effective that even a mild at
tack is unlikely to occur. All children,
when they are 6 to 8 months old and
certainly before the end of the first
year, should be ~immunized. The treat
ments are easily and quickly given. 1t
takes a few months for the protection
to develop. Any child who entered
school or kindergarten this year with
out this safeguard should be given pro-
lection Immediately. The family physi-
clan will give diphtheria mmunization
or local health departments will i'm
munize children free.
Last year in Mississippi there were
$40 cases of diphtheria reported, with
"a deaths. This is a grave Indictment
against Indifference or ignorance, for
it can be safely said that had all these
victims peer protected through immuni-
zation none, at most a very few, o.
those cases would have developed. AL
ready in this year Mississippi has had
323 cases of d~iphtheria, and at this
eason when colds and respiratory dis
cases are prevalent it stands to reason
that even more children will develop
diphtheria-and some will die of it.
In the hands of parents lies largely
The control of d%iphtheria. Physicians
and public health officials are ready to
provide this protection, but unless pa
| rents assume their share of responsible
lily unnecessary deaths from diphtheria
will continue.
