Health Officer:

In a recent description of the
current status of civilian health,
DIR. Thomas Parran, Surgeon Cen
eral, United States Public Health
Service, said, that correction Of
deficiencies in the Nations sani-
tary system would entail construc-
ton and modernization of approx
imately 1880 water. systems, pro-
vision of adequate sewerage facil-
tiles in more than 10000 communi-
ties, safe water and privies for s.
100000 rural homes, and the con-
struction of 400 milk pasteurization
plants in thirty four states and in
Alaska" He also pointed out that
TAG projects authorized by the
Communities Facilities Act 521
were in operation or substantially
completed at a cost af SIZE, 000,000
in Federal funds for the fiscal year
1914.
In carrying out this plan of DR..
Parran's many of the improve
ments will continue to come to
Mississippi communities. Are you,
Mr.. Community, prepared to see
that such a program in your COM
munity is all that it should be? Do
you have plans to see that all such
installations, such as, safe water
supply, extension of water or sew
erage, and so forth, are made in a
good sanitary manner? 1t is the
opinion of many public health en-
gineers that a community of 500 can
well afford to have public water
supply and sewerage system.

Room of Inlaid Wood
Creates Optical Illusion

A small room that has to be
touched as well as seen to be be-
heved is on exhibition in the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art in New
York, says Golfers. Acquired
from a 15th-century Italian pal
ace, its four walls contain IL
wooden cupboards whose open
doors reveal on the shelves about
100 objects, including an hour
glass, a celestial globe, books and
musical instruments. The wall
space around the cupboards is
paneled, and benches line the
sides of the room.
However,, it is all an optical il
fusion, a flat surface on which the
uncanny perspective and shadows
are produced by inlays of some
SOC, 900 pieces of wood in a vast
variety of shapes and colors. So
convincing is the three-dimen.
sional effect that several visitors
have attempted to sit on the
benches.

Lions or T~imekeeper,
Benchley Tanned EN-!

At one time Robert Benchley
wrote for a magazine which en-
ployed a timekeeper whose duty
it was to dispatch nasty notes re-
questing explanations from en-
ployees who were absent or tardy.
Upon receiving one of these un-
pleasant missives, Benchley has
tened to explain.
cts true I was five minutes late
this morning." said Benchley, "but
it was unavoidable. In passing the
circus, on my way to work, I was
brutally attacked by a dozen es-
capped lions. Summoning every
ounce of strength in my body I
fought the angry beasts off single
handed!"
The timekeeper discontinued his
practice of sending sharp notes.

Others Come First
With Molly, fundamentally, and
first of all, comes thought for others.
She will not let them see that she is
hurt. Nobody must feel any worse
because Molly is stricken. Selfish
grief will not bring little Pete back;
and if the others see her serene
and busy, interested in their well
fare, their interests, just as she al
ways was, it will 60 far to make
life seem good to them again.

ly ahead of US. Women will look at
the conditions Of their lives and
say to themselves; this is just
what I have said I couldn't bear
and here it is" Women will find
the men who come back from war
are almost strangers; women must
care for a crippled husband or son,
a blind husband or SON., all the rest
of their lives. Women who have
been financially independent, will
find now that they must 60 back
to the status of housekeeper, or else
sacrifice marriage itself. Women
must meet every mental and
psychopathic problem in those they
love; depression, despair, distaste
for work Of any kind, cynicism as
regards the future, bitter disillusion-

Brace your soul for this postwar

reconstruction. Be that woman in

Blocking Hand-Knit Garments

To block" a new or newly.
washed hand-knit garment, here is
an easy method. Sprinkle two heavy
bath towels slightly and spread the
garment between them, pulling to
desired measurements and pinning
to shape. Before washing it is
handy to lay garment on paper or
cloth and draw outline to use in re.
shaping.) Cover with a board or
other firm, fiat surface. Weight this
down and leave until the garment is
dry. A light steam-pressing, without
washing, also gives a finished look.

Look Hard for Snakes on Okinawa

I've mentioned before about our
fear Of snakes before we got here.
All the booklets and literature given
US ahead Of time about Okinawa
dwelt at length on snakes. They
told US there we're three kinds Of
poisonous adders.
Well, I've kept a close watch and
made a lot Of inquiries. And the

Okinawa where we've been there

wind the thing up in a hurry.
The bulk Of the battle of Okinawa
is being fought by the army-my
old friends, the doughfoots. This
time the marines had it easy, and
by the turn Of circumstance the
army is the one that has the job
to do.
But my self-assignment on the
Okinawa blitz was to write about
the marines and that's what I con
tinue to do. I landed with the ma
rlnes, crossed the island with them,
and have been living with them
amidst 1eas, mosquitoes. goats and
a few Japs, hiding under bushes. So
naturally I want to tell you about
them.
Marine corps blitzes out here have
all been so bitter and the marines
have performed so magnifcently
that I had conjured up a mental pic
ture of a marine that bore a close
resemblance to a man from Mars.
I was almost afraid of them myself.

IN TY WIFE is so darned
MI cheerful" writes a
man from Butte,
Mont, "that you can't help
loving her!"
It seems to me that no
sweeter or more sincere trib-
ute was ever paid a woman.
There was a soundness and
fneness about this mans let
ter that struck a heartening
note in these days of broken
homes and easy divorces.
We've had IA years Of joys and
sorrows," his letter goes on, land
when the smoke blows over. just one
person is carrying on, sensibly and
quietly and bravely, and that's
Molly. When we were married I was
making 5000 a month, and three
years later, with a second baby
coming, I was laid up with muscular
rheumatism for almost a year.
Molly carried on, had her baby,
worked, borrowed, managed some
now-and always was cheerful!
Financially we got Strengthened
out again, paid bills, began to buy a
home, and our third child, our first
boy, was born. Those were good
years. But when Pete was five years
old. he was killed by a car driven
straight across the sidewalk and
into the garden where he was play
ing with his sisters. Molly carried
on. Our third girl was born a few
months later.
Then came the war, and the i'm
porting firm for which I worked
went to the wall; no job. no saw
ings. and my mother, widowed and
an invalid, came to live with us. We
rented our house, moved into town,
shortened sail everywhere. This was
before the big defense plants and
the big salaries got started.
Never Failed Us Once
"The Joy and hope Molly put into
u lives then will never be forgot
ten by me. She never failed us once.
Her life had been shattered;
motherhood had brought her an
guish. I had contributed months of
sickness, helplessness, unemploy-
ment. But wherever she was, the lit
tie girls were laughing, and she was
laughing with them; hospitality
wasn't ended, nor good home meals,
home fires, home talk. Her affec-
tionate appreciation of my mothers
help-for mother, with mending and
watching the children, did all she
could, made my mother love her
like a true daughter.
This is my tribute to the most
gallant wife any man ever had. We
have no money troubles now, and
have three lovely little girls to
60 on into better times with US. But
whatever is ahead, l can never be
afraid while this woman is beside
me-"
Could a letter be %pleasanter read
ing? I don't know how. But about
one thing you r wrong, Walter.
This is not mere "Cheerfulness."
Cheerfulness is a more or less natu-
raj quality; it can come from
health, from youthful opti-
mism and high spirits. even
from shallowness and sefshness.
What Molly has is something
much finer than that. She has the
fneness Of a soul and mind
tried and purified by fire. To be
comforting, hopeful, with a sick hus-
band and dependent babies is not
mere "cheerfulness." 1t is true
sa%intliness. Cheerfllness will not

Finds Marines
Human, After All

I did find the marines confident,
but neither cocky nor smart-alecky.
I found they have fears, and qualms,
and hatred for war the same as
anybody else. They want to 60
home just as badly as any soldiers
I've ever met. I found them good,
human Americans.
They are proud to be marines.
They wouldn't be in any other
branch Of the service. Yet they are
not arrogant about it. And I found
they have a healthy respect for the
infantry.
One day we were sitting on a hill
side talking about the infantry. One
marine spoke Of a certain army d.
vision-a division they had fought
beside-and was singing its praises.
TITS as good as any marine d.
vision" he said.
What was that you said?" a lis
tener cut in.
The marine repeated it and en-
phasized it a little. Another ma
rine stood up and called out, loudly:
did you hear what he said? This
guy says there's an army division
as good as any marine division. He
must be crazy. Haw, haw, haw!"
And yet other boys chimed in, ar
guing very soberly. and sided with
the n who had praised the army
division.
Before I came into the field, sew
eral marine officers asked me to
try to ems just what the marine
spirit is, just what causes it, and
keeps it alive.
In peacetime when the marine
corps was a small outfit, with its
campaigns highlighted. and every
body was a volunteer. you could un-
derstand why marines felt so su-
perior.
But since the war the marine
corps has grown into hundreds of
thousands Of men. It has been di-
luted, so to speak. Today it is an
outfit Of ordinary people-some big,
some little. some even d~raftees. It
has changed, in fact, until marines
look exactly like a company of SOL
diers in Europe.
Yet that marine corps spirit still
remains. I never did find out what
p~erpetuates it. They're not neces-
sarily better trained. They're no
better equipped and often not as
well supplied as other troops. But
a marine still considers himself a
better soldier than anybody else,
even though nine-tenths Of them
don't want to be soldiers at all.
The marines are very c%ognizant
Of the terrible casualties they've
taken in this Pacific war. They're
even proud of that too, in a way.
Any argument among marine units
is settled by which has had the
greatest casualties.
Many Of them even envisioned the
end Of the marine corps at Okinawa.
If the marine divisions had been
beaten up here as they were on Two
Jima, the boys felt it would have
been difficult to find enough men of
marine corps caliber to reconstitute
all the divisions.
They even had a sadly sardonic
song about their approach to Oki.
