EXPLOSIVE MAN

CAMP DAVIS, Jan. $40
most people, explosives are
things you shouldn't go near.
But to Pvt. Gerald Thibodeau
explosives are fascinating.
Known as q "great explosive
man" by his superiors at the
Antiaircraft Artillery School
here. Private Thibodeau's du-
ties have to do with demon
strating land mines. He is one
soldier who hopes to continue
in civilian life the trade, ex-
plosives, he learned In the
Army.
When he is not actually set
ting off land mines, Private
Thibodeau is constantly read
ing about explosives and their
habits. He intends applying
for a civilian license as all ex-
plosive engineer when he re-
turns to his home in Maiden,
Mass, after the war.
Precision, care, ability, and
attention to work is needed in
Private ThibOdeau's assign
ment, and his superior officers
say he has them all. When a
mine or charge is planted, 1t
must go off or Thibodeau has
to go in and investigate why it
didn't. The demonstrations are
given to officer students, en-
listed specialists, and OFFICER
candidates who come to the
AAA School for advanced
training.
At one time, Private Thibo-
deau held a seaman's certifi-
cate in the Merchant Marines
and he also was a machinist.
But now all he wants to do
after the war is handle exc
plosives.

happen to person who went over

none too plentiful.
She had to do something. She
knew that. Lord, I'm in quar-
ry," she whispered, feeling that the
idea was beyond the range of all

witlessness until she had time to
arrange her attack on them.

was to put inside each ship
something TO sail by. Something
inside TO sail by is essential TO
real personality, and nowhere
more evidently than in ethical
living.
Every significant ethical sys-
tenn, one way or another, has
recognized this fact, and ii is
the essential element in Jesus
teaching. All his emphases
strike inward TO the quality Of
life from which outward con-
duct comes. Freedom from hate,

adultery; from insincerity, not
simply from perjury such in

ethical message. To him a real

REAL PERSON
By DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSOICK

Christian is not merely the in
heritor of a creedal tradition, or
the passive servant, of an ac-
cepted code; his motive power
is inward and dynamic-"I live;
yet not !, but Christ liveth in
me-"
Many a youth experiments
with doing in Rome as the Ro-
mans do; like a chameleon, he
takes the moral color of his
various social environments and
SO manages to feel at home in
diverse ways of living, from
unrestrained looseness to for
NAL responsibility. He defends
this by a theory in accordance
with which, as one modern
writer expresses it, morality sis
really nothing but a fashion,
which changes from one year to
another, from one country 10
another, from one place to an.
other, and more especially from
one person to another, as surely
as the fashion and taste in hats
oh furniture"
Soon or late, however, he
runs upon a stubborn fact. Con-
duct tends, one way or another,
to develop a pattern; it becomes
set and habitual. One cannot be
night-club habitue, devoted
husband and father, a drunkard,
good citizen, a debauchee, a
trusted businessman and a
spendthrift all at once-or even
in succession, turning at will
from one to the other.
Facing this fact, the youth
sees as an alternative to his pre-
sent course the uninviting pros
pect of surrender to conven-

tional codes. Many modern peo-
pie live in this state of ethical
confusion, satisfied neither with
trying TO live all kinds of moral
life at once nor with surrender
10 conventional responsibilities
Their fallacy lies in the fact
that both alternatives, as they
conceive them, are external.
Neither the attempt 10 live all
sort of ways, nor the attempt 10
copy the conventionally respect
able, reaches far into the depths
of personality. Serious ethics in
wolves a third type of living
which ST. Augustine enjoined
when he said, Love God and do
as you please" That is to say,
goodness, TO be genuine and de-
pendable, must spring from
within, from inSights, loves, and
devotions personally possessed,
Let these interior tastes and af-
fections be right and one can
do as one pleases TO the profit
of the world. AS Jesus said, "A
good true cannot bring forth
evil fruit" There are thus not
two, but three major types Of
ethical living: trying all the
moral fashions there are; ac-
cepting the conventional code;
opening oneself in the depths of
ones personality TO such faiths,
loves, and Royalties, that ones
ethical quality inevitably comes
from living up to them and out
from them.
These three major types Of
moral living are illustrated in
the historic experience of mari
ners. In the early days seamen
faced a disagreeable choice, Ell
Their to risk unguided adventure
on the high seas, with no help Of
chart or compass, or else to re-
strict themselves to the coastline
and beat up and down the
shore. The solution of their
problem came with the mari
ner's compass, and what that did

Traffic (ongesied
As Gar Hits Horse

CENTER LINE-Traffic was
tied up for a considerable dis
lance Sunday night on busy
Van Dyke avenue, when a car
driven by Weldon Wagner, of
of Bay City, struck a horse that
wandered onto the road one
mile south of this city.
The horse was killed instantly
and considerable damage was
done to the automobile which
required towing from the scene.
Wagner did not suffer any in

by State Police of Center Line
Post.

The world Is full of people
who are merely tied together.
They appear to hold together
very well; they are shored up
by an established social posi-
ton, a secure family, a fortu-
nate and assured environment.
They are like a sheaf of wheat
tied together, like a collection of
iron filings clustered on a mag
net, like a mosaic of separate
pieces held in place by cement.
Their seeming indignation is not
inherent but is dependent on the
continuance of their outward
situation.
No wonder the statistics of in
sanity mount so that there are
more hospitalized cases of men
tai disease than of all physical
diseases put together. To RENE
dy such social evils as shatter
personality is imperative, but no
remedy can ever make a mere
ly propped up person immune
to the shocks and changes that
knock the props away and re-
veal that his conference was a
sham.
All great living must spring,
like a fountain, from within.
The man of honor is not merely
shored up by external supports;
he lives by an interior scale of
values that are his very own,
like William Penn in London
Tower, saying, "My prison shall
be my grave before l will bulge
a jot; for l owe my conscience
to no mortal man." The genuine

Serious Jap Attack
Fails 10 Alter Lines

BY the Associated Press.
Severe fighting in the northeastern
outskirts of Hengyang, where the
japanese are threatening seizure of
the Hankow- Canton railway in their
most serious attack in China since
1888, continued all day yesterday
without change in positions, the
Chinese high command announced
in Chungking today.
Yunsien, As miles northeast of
Hengyang and Hengshan, Is miles
northeast, fell to Japanese east wing
columns, however. A column on the
west wing advancing on Siangsiang,
go miles north of Hengyang, was
driven back, the communique said.
The japanese drive down the can
ton -Hankow railway threatened to
cut China in two, with the Japanese
obviously determined to upset Allied
plans to use China as an air base.
Heavy Casualties Reported.
Chinese troops moving down the
Shweli Valley, west of the Salween,

Nevertheless, should Mr.. Roosevelt
insist upon a plank as liberal" as
the social and political equality
plank expected to be adopted by
this convention. the reaction from
the Southern States will be swift

Thus, the New Dealers appear
caught in trap. If they meet the
'liberality" of the Republican plank,
they invite Southern revolt that
may cost several States and the
election.
But If they do not meet it, then
the Negro leaders will have a right
to feel betrayed and Mr.. Roosevelt
will lose the solid Negro support
in the North, more important this
time than before. The White House
