had the same desire, and almost
stood up before I did.
"Look, Tack" I cried "Look at
Rose!"
We stood staring as if we had
never before seen Jersey cow. We
could not mask our amazement and
disgust. Our chins must have
reached our shoe laces, we were so
disappointed.
Harry began to laugh-his voice
like the high notes of a calliope-
and when he laughed he shook all
over. The worst of it was, Tack and
I just stood there weeping, and we
didn't know whether we were happy
or very, very sad.

who he's waiting for?"
Tack took out his handkerchief
and began to dance like ballerina.
Didn't you hear him say he re-
fuses to divulge? Oh, mother,
mother, mother, pin rose on mel"
Couldn't we hang around while
and see who he's waiting for?"
Tack fiuttered his handkerchief
again, and said, "You mean whom
he's waiting for. Watch your lexi-
con. Anyway, for once we've got
the same idea. Two great minds

Both Tack's parents and mine
had taught us to mind our own
business, but we could not resist the
other half of Harry's rendezvous.
And so we crept back along the
fence through the high grass.
Through the clear night we could
hear Della Cunnigan more than two
miles away calling her sons home.
Her voice sounded with bell-like
clarity on the calm night.

"Huh," Tack said, "she's just a

mother. He heard her all the way

From our beds in the grass we
could see Harry cupping his hands
to his mouth, and then we heard
him call: "Oh, RoseI Here's Harry!
Come now, Rose. Harry's here"
Tack said, a little disappointed,

Well, I'll be damned! Come on, let's
go home"
cav, let's wait. 1 want to see

We crawled along the fence,
closer-until we could distinguish
the words.
We could hear Harry saying,

your lovely brown eyes, can hard

Forgive me for all the pain I've
caused. Since mother died you've
been my greatest comfort. You

War Department
Warns Against
Fascist Methods

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-An
official War Department warning
has been issued to the armed forces
overseas against foreign and do
nestle fascism. The NNPA has
learned that the warning was
edited by a Southerner, Maj. Gould
Beech, former editor Of the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
Describing what fascism means,
the War Department warning says
fascists maintain themselves in
power by use of force combined
with propaganda based on primitive
ideas of blood and race, by skillful
manipulation Of fear and hate, and
by false promise of security"
"Some Americans" says the re-
port, would give an emphatic mo-
to the question Can fascism come
to America after it has been de-
feated abroad?' They would say
that Americans are too smart, that
they are sold on the democratic
way of life, that they wouldn't per-
NIT any group to put fascism over
in America Most people in
America like to be good neighbors.
But at various places in our his
tory, we have had sorry instances
of mob sadism, lynchings, vigilant-
ism, terror, and suppression of civil
liberties. We have had our hooded
gangs, Black Legions, Silver Shirts,
and racial and religious bigots. All
of them in the name of American
ism, have used undemocratic
methods and doctrines which ex-
perience has shown can be properly
identified as Fascists."
Among ways to spot Fascists, the
warning lists: (1) FITTING of re-
ligious, racial, and economic groups
against one another in order to
break down national unity. To suit
their particular needs and aim,
Fascists will use any one or a COM
bination of such groups as a con-
venient scapegoat. (2) Intoler-
ance for such religious and ethical
concepts as the brotherhood of
man." (3) Indiscriminate pinning
of the label "Red" or Communist"
on people and proposals which one
opposes.
The only way to prevent fascism
from getting a hold in America,
says the War Department warn
ing, is by making our democracy
work and by actively cooperating
to preserve world peace and Sc
curity.
FasclSm is always ready, it says,
to provide a scapegoat as a way
out when people are unemployed
or hungry. It supplies the scape-
Catholics, Jews, Negroes,
labor unions, big business-any
group upon which the insecure and
unemployed can be brought to pin
the blame for their misfortune.
Freedom, like peace and secur-
ity, cannot be maintained in isola-
tion," the statement says. cit in
wolves being alert and on guard
against the infringement not only
of our own freedom but the free
dom of every American. If we per-
NIT discrimination, prejudice, or
hate to rob anyone of his demo-
cratic rights, our own freedom, and
all democracy is threatened"

OH, ROSE!
A Snort Snort story
By James T. Logan

lack ana were always gong
possum hunting. We never got any.
In fact, neither Of US would have
known a possum from an alligator.
Nevertheless, these expeditions pro-
vided good excuses for US to roam
Conklin's woods at night, armed
with "22" Winchesters. Occasional
ly, quite by accident, we shot a
grounding or jaclrabbit, and once
and only once a skunk. It was on
one of these moonlit forays we
came upon Harry Madden, perched
serenely on the top rail of split
log fence, intent upon minding his
business, which was more than
could be said for either Tack or me.
He was funny little brown man
with a face as round as an autumn
moon. He was not exactly five-by
flyer, but he had far too much width
for his height. We were always
making jokes about the proximity
of the sidewalks to his posterior.
Vocally he was a soprano-and
while there was no positive evidence
to doubt his sex there were grave
suspicious which caused the more
positively masculine inhabitants of
Oldtown to keep at safe distance.
Neither Tack nor I would have
risked talking to him in town. This
he knew, and therefore was not I'M
duly appreciative of our friendli-
ness in the woods.
"What're you doing, way out
here, alone, sitting on fence?"
Tack asked.
He said he was minding his bust
ness, but if it would kill US not to
know, he was waiting for friend.
'Lady or gentleman" inquired
Tack. Even I, his friend, thought
he had lot of gall.
"That," he said, with a fiutter,

"I1l bet you're hiding from some
body" I tainted, trying to cover up
for Tack. "You look scared"
He put his hands on his hips,
shrugged, and said, Gear is a
word, long ago deleted from my
lexicon"
I thought Tack would burst with
laughter.
Harry clenched his hands, dis
playing fists, which he said neither
Joe Cans nor Battling Nelson had
wanted any part of-and when he
had grown heavier the same had
been true of Johnson, Jeffries and
Langford when he had challenged
them to forty rounds, bare knuckle.
"What makes you think you're so
good with your dukes You couldn't
kill flea with a chopping axe"
'Do you know Big Boy Lewis ?"
We did. He was Oldtown's "John
Henry" better than six-foot, all
muscle, and hard as spikes.
"Well," Harry went on, 81 almost
killed him-with these same hands"
ooh, yeah?"
"You will note," he continued,
chat said I almost killed him."
what stopped you?" demanded
Tack.
"Big Boy had been impairment to
me on several occasions, and I was
weary of his arrogance. So pulled
off my coat, and got ready to go to
work on him. circled him warily,
realizing that such a behemoth as
he was always dangerous. I tented
with my left, and was about to
deliver my right from the ground
when suddenly"
The pause was like the end of the
first episode of thriller.
He sighed heavily, dropping under
the weight of a great Illustration.
Suddenly I heard my dear old
mother in Heaven calling, HarryI
Don't strike him, Harry And then

could not keep from laughing.
Tack said, "Come on, let's get out
of here"

(Christian Science MOnitor)

(ChrlStlan Science MOnltOr)
Few would blame soldier a regiment
or a division which has spent years over
seas and months in combat for feeling
that fresher troops might well take over
the Pacific occupation job. Not even the
Army is likely to claim that it is screen
ing out all the men entitled to early
discharge with either the speed or in the
nice priority sequence that everyone
would wish. But in all this clamor for
fairness the real imperative of today's
situation is rarely mentioned: the abso-
lutte securing Of the victory.
Japan's immense and unbeaten army
must be disarmed and kept disarmed.
Japan's territory must be garrisoned and
policed These things must be done now
and by forces sufficient for the task. We
should hope that as few soldiers as pos
sible who rate replacement arrive in the
Pacific We should expect that not many
divisions land on Japan with the same
men who fought the longest and the
hardest in Europe. But if some do, then
whatever injustice may have been done
individuals will count vastly less than
the injustice which might be wrought
upon the nation and the world were

WORKER RECRUITERS
COLLECT BOUNTIES

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 81.
CUP)-The American Manufactur-
ing Company has a new idea for
getting and keeping workers.
Working on navy contracts, the
company has a time schedule to
meet in production. AS an induce
ment to its steady workers to bring
more help to the plant, each new
employe signed up for a job is
worth SIS to the signer-upper The
SIS is paid out after the new hand
works 80 days If he stays so days,
the recruiter gets $40.
The plan is working pretty well,
a company official said, except
that a lot of potential employees
are not qualified Hundreds are
brought to the plant weekly BY
bounty-seekers. An average Of 300
employees are hired and released
monthly at the war plant.
