that come roaring down from the northlands
Cold doesn't make for easy bravery.
Nor does cold make for cheap glory
Leave the glory out of it; leave out of it the
catchwords, like General Winter" There
are generals with real names, men from New
York and Kansas and Texas who stand
knee-deep in the snow beside their men,
And they have real nerves that go dead in
the cold; and real flesh that lays itself
against the ice and snow
A LONG time ago, an American soldier at
Valley Forge wrote home to his wife:
-. the General spake this Day but
We missed his words for the bowling of the
north wind. march back to the encamp-
ment, but Good not sleep for the weather
In the cold, thote of the Warm Harth-
side. :"
There is no virtue in the winter men
must fight through for freedom; the virtue
is in the men who wiring victory out of it.

himself and the aching cold. 1t is like song
of glory that starts a long time back, and
in the catchwords we tend to forget the
bitter reality of it.
In Valley Forge, for many months, there
was no enemy but hunger and a cold 50 in
tense that it split the living trees with a
sound like cannon being fired. At Stain
grad, the cold hung over the broken city,
and there was no house with roof, no place
where the cold could not follow a man.
It's longer memory to recall how, in the
beginning of this struggle for the freedom
of all people, the Chinese Eighth Route
Army marched a thousand miles through
the killing frost of winter.
So they talk of General Winter" now,
in 1945 = again catchword, while the cold
crackles over Europe. But there is no catch
word for this, no phrase to put it aside with.
There was place of warmth once for these
boys from American farms and towns and
cities. Now there is only the cold and the
enemy. This too is the enemy - the binding
sleet and snow and slush and whining winds

MEET AMERICA: They're partners,
the girl on our cover and her husband:
Betty Estes, 81, paints Liberator
B-24 bombers and John flies them.
He's gunner with the 18th Air Force
now on bombing missions from Italy.
Johns unit has been awarded cita-
ton and he has received the Air
Medal. Betty and John met at Con-
solidated- Vultee Aircraft in Cali
fornia, where they were both working.
Betty's still there. and she has, we
agree, a special reason for wanting
to Keep 'em Flying.
CYNICS: Firemen in Winfield, Kan
sas, answered an alarm, found it was

REMINDER. The Owl is making a
new drive to promote the use of w.
mail in 1945. Next time you write a
serviceman, remember that if you
use regular stationery you will be
forcing our transport system to work
40 times harder than necessary. Yes,
it's fact: One plane loaded with
V-mail can do the work of 40 carry
ing ordinary letters.
FLUENT. Soon after the Allied troops
stormed into Holland. one enterprising
bookdealer in liberated town hung
the following sign in his shop window:
''If you want to learn to talk with
our Allied friends, buy our little book.
Speak You English"
INGENIOUS. We like this story
about two Los Angeles bookies:
Obliged to find other means of liveli-
hood after the blackout on racing
cut off their main source of income,
they got jobs at San Pedro ship
yard. Two days after going to work.
they were taking bets from fellow
workmen on what day certain ship
would be launched.

COLD COURAGE. When you areout in
the cold, next time, hurrying home - think
of how it would be if there were no home,
no shelter, no warmth, no windbreak, even.
When the slush lies foot deep and you
tread gingerly through it, think of how it
is to throw yourself face down into it, only
to get up again with the cold knitting through
your wet clothes or perhaps just to lie
there. unmoving, head down and hell up
above.
This is winter warfare, white and beauti-
full - and as terrible as mans ancient men,

Draft Deferments Con-

tion unless the government agency for
which his employer is working certi-
fies a request for continued defer
ment on a Special Selective Service
Form 42-A.
The government certifcations are
supposed to be issued only if high
ly-skilled worker in war production
or an essential civilian activity can
meet such criteria as these four laid
down by WPB:
Doing work that is indispensable
in an activity that is on the War Man
Power Commissions list of essential
activities.
No. 2-No such indispensable man
can be certified for deferment if he
can be replaced by a worker doing
less essential work within the plant
or establishment or by recruitment
from without.
3-An indispensable man shall be
considered as replaceable if a recruit
or transferee is available and can be
qualified to perform his work by three
months of instensive training.
Men engaged in planning re-
search, development or production for
postwar purposes shall not be certi-
fed for deferment.
Counting those who will be reject
ed at induction stations, it is antici-
pated that only about 10000 of the
estimated $4,000 Ohio men between
Is and 80 now deferred in urban in
dustry will actually be inducted.
This greatly alters the outlook of a
month ago, when selective service Of
ficials said virtually all the able-bod-
led in the 18-through-29 bracket would
be in service by midyear.
More Up to 81 to Go
The special deferment procedure for
limited number of "indispensables"
under 80 will require draft boards to
order the induction Of an increasing
number of men 80 through 81.
The committee of selective service
and war industry said yesterday that
it would be all right for employers to
file Selective Service Form ABB in
behalf of male workers 81 through 81
now in Glasses IA, 2-B, "a (F), 2
b IF, IA (L) and 2-A(F) whom
the employers wanted continued in
those deferred categories.
Requests for the deferment of men
80 through 33 should be filed on Sc
lective Service Form 42-A. The Form
42-A (Special-Revised) applies to
registrants 18 through 29.
In a revision of selective service
regulations last week it was stipulated
that, to be eligible for deferment, men

supporting the national health, safety
or interest. Men 81 through 81 need
be only regularly employed" in one

Army Nurse Is Back
After Overseas Service
Concluded from page u

was crushed so badly it had to be
amputated.
During her time overseas, Capt.
Beery came into contact with many
wounded German war prisoners. She
said the reaction of most of them
appeared to be one of relief that for
them at least the war is over.
Most of them who could speak
some English appeared to feel that
Germany has lost the war, altho oc-
casionally one would declare that the
enemy eventually will win. This at
titude, more than anything else, will
anger the doughboy orderlies who
must carry the wounded men when
they are moved, Capt. Beery said.
LITTLE FooD IN FRANCE
Food in France is very scarce, she
reported, and Army personnel is
urged to eat at their regular Army
eating places instead of French res
taurants, to help conserve the meagre
food supply for civilians.
A registered nurse, Capt. Beery
has been in the Army Nurse Corps
for two years and has been overseas
nine months. This is her first trip
to this country since going to the
European war theatre, and her ship
has been engaged most of the time in
transporting wounded men from Af-
rica and France to hospitals in Eng
land.
She left Wednesday for Charles
ton, to make return trip to Europe
on the hospital ship.
