EDWIN TEALE
FORUM GUEST
Unique Explorer to Show
AIl-COIOr Pictures at Sec.
Ond Church Sunday

Edwin Way Teale, scientist, ma
turalist, expert photographer, lee
turer, author and one Of the most
unique explorers on record - an
explorer who stayed at home-will
present his all-color lecture entitled
''Near Horizons"-the Drama of the
Insect World-at the Forum Of the
Second Congregational church on
Sunday evening, January 16, at 1880
o'clock.
After receiving his A. B. from
Earlham College in Indiana, spend
ing two years as an instructor in
Public Speaking at Friends Univer-
sity in Kansas, and taking his M.
A. at Columbia University, he be-
came editorial assistant to DR.. Frank
Crane. He left that post to be-
come staff feature writer for Popu-
lar Science Monthly until 1941,
when he decided to devote his entire
time to documenting the insect
world with camera and pen. For
his laboratory he has adapted two
acres of apple orchard near his
Long Island home into one of the
strangest gardens on record-an in
sect garden, where fern and de-
sign have stopped aside in favor of
an exciting tangle of vegetation best
suited to bring within the focus of
his camera the bees and dragon
flies, the butterflies, mats, mots,
crickets, and countless other species
of which he lectures and writes. He
is a member of the Council of the
New York Academy of Sciences, is

Ambition, the desire to overtake
our fellows, delight in our own su-
periority. in having more and IN
being more than our fellows, such
self-assertive emotions are deep
seated and potent, and their trail
across history in sanguinary and pit
iless. Nevertheless, without amoltion
no one would amount to anything.
The man in whom the will-to-
power has become ruthlessness,
sadism. and brutality is both per-
sonally sick and socially a menace
but so, too, is the person who SO
lacks it that he is feeble, hstless,
debilitated good-for-nothmg. Am
bition is part of our normal ma
tive endowment A child without
self-assertiveness is III he IS not

ment involves it. Said Admiral
Peary about the North Pole For
more than a score Of years that
point on the earth's suface had
been the object of my every effort.
To attain it my whole being, physi-
cal, mental, and moral, had been
ACAANdbSA'
The emotional drive that leads
us to assert ourselves is, in the
end, worth what we make OF 1t. II
we let it be crushed out OF us we
become nonentities. II we misuse
it we run to self-display, to cutting
figure in the world by hook or
crook, to avarice, greed, tyranny.
II we use it we'll, we become dy-
manic selves amounting TO some
thing, with dominant aims served
with forceful Self-commitment.
A man may be ambitious to con-
quer a neighboring chief and steal
his wives, or he may be ambitious
to make a neighborhood a more de-
cent place in which to live. A boy
may be ambitious to be the leading
gangster in the city, or like young
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ne
may say, II most eagerly aspire
after future eminence in literature;
my whole soul burns most ardently
for 1t. and every earthly thought
centers in it,"
Self-assertivenes Is ethically neu-
trail; everything depends on what Is
done with it. Like hunting, 1t be-
ban as a primitive necessity. One
had to hunt to live. But the hunt
ing impulse now ranges over a wide
field and the thrill of the hunt IN

use our means.
STRIKE FOR AIR FIELDS
Our tactics spring from our re-
markable air superiority. Our every
landing has been to seize or build
airfields at key points whence our
bombing, observation and fighter
planes may dominate other key
points. After bombing Cape Glou-
cester groggy we took it, and thus
dominate an airfield that in turn
dominates the Bismarck Sea en-
tirely.
Our capture of Cape Gloucester
was aided by previous capture Of
airfields at Tarawa and Maxim.
And from Tarawa and Maxim also,
our fighters knock Japs from the
skies above the Marshalls. Thus
we slash toward the central cen
ter" through one outlying CEN
ter" after another.
Notable among these outlying

and Jaluit in the strongly fortified
MarShalls. OF these Rabaul is
strongest. but stronger still is
Truk, 300 miles north of Rabaul,

stronghold with underground
hangers, protected harbors and
installations for a battle feet in

bad medicine while the Japs
hold it, good medicine once we do.
While their air and sea power are
based there, We must attack large
ly by submarine the sea lanes that
bring Japan the sustenance of her
island conquests. With Truk out of
our way, We could attack the main
Jap supply lines while threaten
ing their whole position in New
Guinea and even the Philippines.

at last we are converging upon it..

borne troops who thus far have
proven more successful in the Pa
cific than in Europe.
1t is highly important that Gen
eral MacArthur's chief of staff,
Mai Gen. Richard K. Sutherland,
attended the Cairo conference, and
that from that conference General
Marshall came home via the Pa
cific. These things spell better
teamwork among Macarthur, Ad-
miral Nimitz and Lord Mount
batten-the later being the one
who will lead the advance into
Burma and up the Chinese coast
to form the western prong of the
pincers, of which our South Pa
ciflc advance on Truk is the east
ern.
Already the situation is serious
for the Japs. 1t will become more
so. Though the real big Push" in
the Pacific cannot come until l945,
with troops and supplies released
by the crushing Of Hitler the new
operations definitely mark our
emergence from the local phase.
They are not mere attacks, but
genuine offensive.
