NaziS would not stand idly by
while they were being diSarmed,
this condition was tantamount TO
request that Finland. if neceS-
sary, turn its guns on its former
ally, as Romania did.
According TO Reuters. Gen.
Rendulic, German commander in
Finland. promised Field Marshal
Won Mannerheim that his 10000

O'BanyOun's
Observations

Did you ever meet a fellow
who was too dumb to under
stand something that you tried
to explain to him? No matter
now simple, no matter how self
evident the proposition, he
couldn't get it through his thick
head? you did? Well, did it ever
occur to you that it might be a
little blame on your part2 NO?
Maybe not. But just think of the
years of training one must un-
dergo before one is qualified to
teach anything. Teachers OF
all the arts. professions, trades,
in short, all branches of phySi-
cal, mental and spiritual knowl-
edge, must train for years with
those who have tried to absorb
the accumulated knowledge of
preceding generations, before
they get to be good. Then there
are years of experience and OBJ
Servation to be added to their
studies. So, the next time you
run against a Ounce, try my
mehod of turning the search
light inward, and find out who is
the Ounce. Performers in music
and the allied arts all too fire.
quently blame the public when
they are not appreciated, and I
believe that most Of the cases
when they do are because, the
performer is off color himself.
Get the habit of turning the
Searchlight inwardly, and I be-
lieve it will help you to under
stand yourself and the other fell
low too.
