TWIN CALVES APLENTY

CARROLL, Neb. - WH - Even
the COWS seem to have heard about
the meat shortage. H. L. Harmer, a
farmer living near here, believes
his herd of cattle deserves at least
an "E" award for production.
Three of the cows gave birth to
twin calves this fall. A fourth

terms of reconversion) had only
one.

Dinnond Urges Project Action

Now IS the time for Kodiak to press for action on needed i'm provements, Judge Anthony Di- mond told members of the Rot ars club at their regular meeting Tuesday st the Red Cross Ski Chalet.
 Kodiak's need for a school is paramount, he said, and added that he felt aid could be forth coming from the federal govern ment, by which the city would pay 8 share based on its ability to pay.
 He also pointed out the need for federal building, especially for use by the U, s. Commission er's office and as meeting place for the district court when 1t visits here.
 Before the war, he said, small boat harbors were being con- structed many places in Alaska, and one might have been built here before If the war had not intervened. This project also should be promoted now, he stated.
 Judge Dimond was an honor guest of the Rotary clubs at the luncheon, which was rendered the club by the Red Cross staff. Other guests were M. E. s Bruaelle, clerk of the court, Noel WenHblom, District Attorney, and It. A. o. Lipinski.
 After luncheon the club mem- bers and guests inspected the Ski Chalet and it's facilities for en- tertaining members of the armed forces.

how little the Japs really were told

the war. For instance, when the
first Jap emissaries came aboard
Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher's
flagship, the Panamint, they asked
why we had brought our whole fleet
with us for the occupation of north
ern Japan. They were astonished
when they learned that all the ships

neighbor saw flames licking the roof of the
dwelling and turned in an alarm. The vol
unteer fire department arrived In two min
utes, but the fire had already cut off any
chance of rescue.
The account went on to state that, "The
fire was caused by defective flue in the
kitchen chimney. The bodies of two girls
were found at the head of the stairs, where
they had been overcome, by smoke and
fire; another body was under bed and
the fourth collapsed on the bedroom floor.
The body of the family dog was found in
another bedroom"
This is typical of the fire tragedies that
fire prevention authorities are doing their
level best to teach the public how to avoid.
In this case, a defective flue, a common
hazard that could have been repaired quick
ly and cheaply, produced the fatal spark,
shattered a family and the lives of four
children. Tomorrow a defective wire, an
oily rag, an overheated stove, misplaced
cigarette or one of countless other simple
menaces will reach out to destroy another
family, hundred families. The columns

items day after day Will your family be

Home, A Casualty OF War
.OOO-

We usually think of war casualties on
the battlefronts, but there are many on the
homefront. And among these is the home,
itself, which the Rev. Harry c. Monroe,
director of adult work of the International
Council of Religious Education, warns may
become the greatest war casualty of the
American Nation.
Declaring that half the war time mar
riages are threatening to end in divorce
and that juvenile delinquency due to par
entail neglect has reached an all-time high,
the statement asserts that "war inflicts its
first wound in the heart of the family"
"Yet with adequate spiritual founda-
tons the family can take it," the commit
tees's statement avers.' Family life must
be conserved and sustained especially in
war time, for within it's keeping are all
those values for the sake of which alone
can the suffering of war be endured and
justified"
Calling attention to the resources for
family living to be found in the Bible, each
faith will urge it's families during National
teachings and practices through which
these pages of power may sustain and
guide family life," it was announced.
Not only must churches and synagogues
expand and enrich their provisions for
family counselling, parent guidance and
religious resources for family use, but the
concern of the entire community must be
awakened to the basic place of the family
in a democratic society, the statement
maintains Each community must be led
to face it's responsibility for providing
wholesale, healthful home environment
for all it's members" it declares. "Pro-
vision must be made for children who are
without adequate parental care, for youth
without guidance, for homes without securl-
ty, for families without a decent place to
live"
