Slucajno sem srecal starega
majorja, XII ina SO let. Srecala
sva Sc v starr .kmetski hisi; IL
gledal je kot knnet z velikimi br-
XII. Bill je major ze pod stare
Avstrijo. Povedal mi je, kako so
v zacetku pomagali bojevnikom:
"Bilo jih je komaj "a pol ducata.
Ma skrivaj smo jim nosili hrano.
Vcasih smo n1islili, da ne bodo
vzdrzali. Ko pa SO mas Lahi "a
pustili in ste prisli vi, Anglezi,
smo vedeli, da bodo uspeli."
Nato mi je svecano zatrdil, da
$50 morali storiti vse, da hi sc
ohranil slovenski jerk v Evro-
pi." Zdel Sc mi je kot vsi drugi
tisoci in tisoci, XII potrpezljivo
prenasajo vse tezave osvobodil-

Namesto tega pa hrani prokla-

dnevno prihaja in odhaja sem in
tia ma sto in sto bojevnikov.

Seveda nj ia prisega mic poma-

"a vodnika. V resnici je bilo ta-
ko kakor je dejal Amerikanec.
Nenadoma smo zagledali lese-

in Sc nasmejala: 'Saj vidite, da

Representative Smith
Tells WCTU Of Trip
To Pacific Navy Bases

Damage done by Japanese suicide
planes to American warships was
cited by Representative Margaret
Chase Smith, Republican, of Maine
as one of the major problems of the
war in the Pacific in an address yes
terday before the list annual con-
vention of the District Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Mrs. Smith, who made 25,00C
mile inspection tour OF Pacific naval
bases last winter as member of the
House Naval Affairs Committee, re.
called an American battleship was
undergoing repairs from such an at
tack when she was in Hawaii last
December.
Mrs. Smith advocated future con.
troll of the Pacific islands by the
United States in accordance with
advice from the Navy.
From her first-hand study of liv-
ing conditions and problems of serv-
ice personnel both in the continental
United States and the Pacific, Mrs
Smith told the WCTU leaders that
the degree of temperance in the
armed services is no less than that
to be found in the home"
Declaring she found soldiers and
sailors pretty much like everybody
else" she added: They respond to
good influence and 1t behooves every
one of us to work toward the de-
velopment of decent environments. -
During its three-day convention
the WCTU adopted a number of
resolutions, including one asking for
legislation requiring the alcoholic
beverage industry to stand the ex-
pense" for the disqualification and
care of alcoholics 1t also asked
that the families Of alcoholics be
given the right of action against
tavern-keepers or liquor store own
ers" responsible for their condition.
The group in another resolution
called for passage OF the Bryson
Evening star., 1945-05-24

bill "to suspend the entire alcoholic
beverage industry for the duration
as q means Of hating the diversion
Of any further food materials to
the manufacture of alcoholic bev-
erages" during the food shortage.
In other resolutions the union
urged the continuation of all con-
trolls that have been developed to
date" concerning the use of narcotic
drugs; opposed the peacetime con-
scription Of men, women and chill
dren; commended the Post Once
Department for its stand concerning
