BE IT EVER so HUMBLE"
(Hartford Courant)


 Entertainment programs in the area of American occupation ill Europe are to be designed to keep the boys from being homesick. To ascertain what favorite songs the soldiers of one company would like their band to play, an enterprising sergeant sent out questionnaire. Did the boys want all the latest hits? Not at all. The ten top tunes carried in their titles the word "home". Some of them are Show Me the Way to Go Home" Hurry Home," Home Sweet Home" My Old Kentucky Home" and-of course you guessed it. Home on the Range"
 Now all this is not indicative O. homesickness among the troops. On the contrary it is a healthy sign for America that these boys should keep nome, the institution at the base of our society, uppermost in their minds. Here is loyalty to home no matter what is condition. Here Is admiration for ones own, and prob- ably an unexpreSsed and subcon- scious desire to establish homes. unquestionably the boys will yearn for the old places, for home and all its surroundings, the activities ot their communities and the op- portunity to renew friendships. These are all a part of what home means to them. It would augur no good for America if these thoughts and these desires should be forgot ten.
 To this picture of our Grs in Europe there is another side of special interest to the folks at home. Upon us rests the responsibility to make home what the soldiers think it is. They must not be bitterly dis appointed, cruelty disillusioned, when they come back tot heir na- tive towns and cities, their friends and families. Home to them is America with it's priceless blessings for which they have fought. It

tament speaks about a life of three score years and ten. The writer was thinking in terms of land locked lake. But the resurrection of Jesus Christ shows us that the earthly life which we thought was 8 land-locked lake is in reality an arm of the sea. Men thought when they put Christ to death that that was the end of Him. The truth of the matter was that by killing His body they liberated His soul for the ages. They killed teacher in Palestine and by so doing released a Saviour for the world.
 Many a person eats out his soul in bitterness today because he re- gards life as a land-locked lake. oSme dear one has died, and to the unbelieyer or the agnostic this means Ahe end ns life forever. But

from his experience as an ar tilleryman in France in the last war, he does not have the same knowledge or background of Eu- ropean affairs.
 He is primarily 8 product of the Middle West, backbone of America.
 That may help him. Truman is known to feel that the British took advantage of us somewhat during the European. AS a sena- tor, he sometimes dropped hinst that the powers that were in the White House could have stood up more to Churchill's charm. But at the same time, Truman has been irked at the way the Rus sians walked over us in certain matters since the Arm.stice.
 So Harry Truman, former far mer and haberdashery salesman, is likely to do his best to stand up to both men who sit beside him. But at the same time, Tru- man has strong convictions about the importance of getting along with our neighbors and working out a permanent peace.
 In fact there's nothing wrong with Truman's basic ideas. The big question is whether in sit ting down with two old hands skilled at playing international poker of the most ruthless sort, Harry will have the finesse and background.
 One thing he may have to watch is his temper. His is a little short. So is Justice Byrnes., Both are quick on the trigger, shoot fast, and straight from the hip. In international discus sions where big things are at stake, this tendency can break up a poker game.
 Anyway, that is the stage set- ting and the cast of characters for this. one of the most import ant of all Big Three meetings. And after weeks of sending di- plomatic couriers back and forth the Atlantic, here are the main

Additional curbs on civilian train travel are possible, it is stated by the Of flee of Defense Transportation. This will be discouraging news to those who may have had hopes of taking train trips later in the summer. ODT director J.

Many people feel that St. Christopher has deserted them this summer in re- gards to travel. It is not that he has been anliss in safeguarding them but he has hindered them from starting out for a particular summer destination. St. Chris topher is not the only guardian and pro- tector of travellers: Several other saints that guide the traveller on his way are St. Anthony of Padua, St. Nicholas of Myra, and St. Raphael

RE-EDUCATING NAZIS

crushed, the nation is already far along on the road to dictatorship.
 Perhaps among the lessons learn ed from this war will be that of renewed respect for Americas un- iversal public education. It is easy complain about the high cost to to take this for granted, or even to the taxpayer. But major part of the enormous public debt of $240,- COG, 100000 this nation now owes can be charged to the fact that Nazis were permitted to stifie or befoul the springs of German edu- cation.

MOUNTAIN ASH

avid Hudson in The Christian Science
 Monitor) The rowanberry or mountain ash early in August begins to splash its berried baskets in the air shapely in form, and with an eye for color this bouncing miss becomes more fair as Falls advances are boldly paid: orange, then red. then blazing scarlet in her hair. she walks New England's rock-hewn stair and looking down she is indeed more lovely than the nut-brown maid.

roNsILs- THEN AND NOW

ION61LS - HEN A1ND NV"
 Some readers may remember the time when doctors, nurses, even school teachers thought nothing of taking a look at 8 child, deciding the child had the adenoid faccies and sending a note to the parent saying the child must have adenoids and tonsils removed-all this with out even a pretense of proper medical examination, that is, with out having seen the adenoid in the throat mirror or felt the mass with the examining finger. Thousand of children who were inattentive, dull backward in school, whether from congenital or inherent mental de- ficiency,. .unrecognized disease or malnutrition, were subjected tc operations which were largely un- justified, back in the early years of the century when the tonsil and adenoid operation was the great surgical fad. I flatter myself that I made some of my best enemies in the medical profession by calling public attention to some of the more shameful absues in that field and creating in the popular mind a wee doubt of the reliability of the doctor who condemns child to the guillotine and snare on the basis of a mere look at the child's large tonsils.
 Large tonsils are normal in heal thy children, and there is no ground for subjecting the child to the risk of general anesthesia to remove them, except in rare instances when breathing is seriously obstructed or the hearing of the child is im- paired.
 In most school children the ton sils are larger in late winter and early spring, smaller in summer.
 Probably both tonsils and ade- noid body (third tonsil in vault of pharynx or throat up out of direct sight behind soft palate) probably serve a useful function or func- tions. especially in childhood. shall not speculate here about such functions. At any rate it is certain that merely enlarged tonsils and adenoids are not in themselves harmul and it is absurd to imagine it is necessary or advisable to re- move every bit of such tissue-in fact only the greater part of the tissue of enlarged tonsils and ade- holds is removed in any instance, no matter what method semploy- ed or what pretense the doctor, surgeon makes about it.

 DIRECT HIT
 The Anti-Fair Employment Policy Committee filibuster put on by Sen ators Theodore G. Bilbo and James O. Eastland of Mississippi was too much in the nature of fagpole- sitting contest to be a good show but there were couple of laughs in it at that. At one point in the pro- ceedings, fagpole-sitter Bilbo re- ferred to FEPC champion Dennis Chavez as my friend from Mexico. J Senator Chavez was on his feet in an instant to protest: T insist to the Senator that I am from New Mexico and not from Mexico :. Does the Senator know where New Mexico is?"

 Judge Fred M. Vinson's press conference seminar on the third quarterly report of the Office of War Mobilization got sidetracked into the haberdashery business in cou- pie of places. First Judge Vinson said that at his last press confer ence three months before, Fred Othman of the United Press had re- ferred' to him as wearer of non- deScript neckties. The Judge said he wanted it known that his wife bought all his neckties. Then Felix Gotten of the International News Service wanted to know what the governments wage policy was going to be for the so-called blue collar" workers. Felix was the only man present wearing blue shirt.
