WASHINGTON, April 26.-The
Army, Navy, OPA, WPB, the
White House and a dozen other
government agencies have the
wars biggest job of craftsmanship
to do.
Ii is to sell the American home
front on the fact that the end of
war in Europe won't mean the
end of the home front struggle.
This very day, officials in these
departments and agencies are
scurryirg around to find convinc-
ing arguments that We Day will
not dissolve price controls, man
poWc. regulations, shortages, Sc
lective Snrvice-all the host OF
wartime Inconvenience.
Most of the % ans for putting
this argument over still are under
the wraps of secrecy. haven't
found one official in any depart
ment or agency who will discuss
them openly. 1 can only tell you
that many of these officials are
gnaWed by fear that when the
battle of Europe is won, home
front energy will collapse.
There certainly is some basis
for their. fear. After the Nor
mandy breakthrough the pres
sure for reconversion to civilian
production was terrific War
workers quit jobs. Key men in
agencies here started retreat to
civilian posts. War bond sales
dropped. Enlistments in the WAC
and other voluntary services hit
new low.
Then, not since Pearl Harbor
had the home frcnt had to do
a greater flip-flop. The Nazis
mounted a counter ffensive that
threatened the whole western
front. Stories of shortages Of GER
tain types Of ammunition began
to drift through.
Reconversion not only had TO
be brought to a standstill, but
abandoned war plants were re-
opened. Manpower shortages be-
came so acute that for the first

BIBLE QUESTIONS

INTERNATIONAL slatE eRnAbCAsTEa


Question-Does anybody a etuaGI
KNOW that Christ will really cons
again?
Answer-Yes. All who believe wl8
lie said in John 14:S: "And e / go ar
prepare a place for you, I WIN com
again, and receive you unto Myself
that where I am, there ye may i
also"
Q.-What day is the Apostle tail
ing about in Romans 1875, 6?
A day connected with feastiK
and eating herbs. The Passover wa
the only feast in which herbs wea
used. Exodus 1873 The questio
considered here seems to be wheths
or not Christians need to keep til
Passover.
Q.-Do you think we will ever hav
famine in this country?
Aft you are a child of God, "a
need not worry about it Just "TrM
in the Lord, and do good; so sha
thou dwell in the land, and verify thd
shalt be fed" Psalm 1878. Accordin
to the words of Christ in Mathis
24:7, famines would come to ttd
earth, but just where and when %
are not told.
o.-Why not give US some souW
business principles from the Bible
there are any there?
A-They are all there. Here are
few:
Romans 1911: Never be sIothfuI q
business.
Proverbs 1929: Diligence in bua
ness wins respect.
l TAessalonians All: Study to q
your own business.
Leyiticus 1896: Have homes
weights and measurements.
Levitcus 1918: Hired help to b
paid
Proverbs HIS: Avoid suret1es On
debts.
Romans 1873: Pay your debts.
o.--is the future life not one Of on
influence going on, rather than an Al
tHai living again?
A.-This is the age-oId quest1m
found in Job 14:14: IF a man dsm
shall he live again?' And here is ~
answer by the gospel prophet; TIN
lead men shall live, together with M
lead body shall they arise. Awake AMI
sting, ye that dwell in dust: for IN
lew is as the dew of herbs, and 'ynG
saTth shall cast out the dead" IsaSas

APPEAL TO II. B. A.
PRESIDENTS

Dear Presidents: Again I am max
ng an earnest appeal to you in be-
half of the Weekly Echo. 1 am ask
ling each president to bring me at
least Two subscriptions in the March
Board. If you find it impossible to
meet the board then mail them in
with your report. Sometime ago we
had on an Echo campaign and you re
sponded so nicely to my plea. We
have quite a few subscriptions on our
mailing list whose subscriptions have
expired, however, l feel that they
don't want to miss a single issue,
therefore,, have kept their names on
he mailing list. 1t will be impossible
to do this much longer, however, on
account of the paper shortage, etc.
Presidents, you have always given
me your support and I believe that
you are going to do the same thing
his quarter. Just put the names of
the subscribers on the back of your
eport blank
I would appreciate getting a card
rom you telling me that I can count
on you.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO

We are calling on our subscribers
whose subscriptions have expired to
enew them. We are confident that
you have enjoyed your paper from
inc to time.
May we urge the presidents who
eel interested in your official paper
to bring US few subscriptions, new
II renewals, to the March board.
Not only does the Echo go in var
Gus sections in the United States but
she goes across the seas to our girls

Although it is frequently said
that the eyes are "the windows of
the SOUL" l sometimes believe that
the hands mirror persons charac-
ter almost as well. In sense, the
hands move in a wider orbit than
the eyes, and their free and spon-
taneous actions perhaps claim other
peoples attention more than we
realize.
We all notice hands on occasion.
Sometimes our attention is forced
on them. Restless hands, fidgety
hands, or quiet hands; well-groomed,
ill-groomed; the warm hand clasp,
the clammy handshake-we have
them all. There are certain occa-
siOns when you especially notice
other peoples hands and your own,
as for example, when you are play
ing cards. You have an opportu-
nifty to study the hands of those
around you and to compare them
with your own hands. You study
their size, length, nails, skin texture,
movements, etc.
When you do make such observa-
tions, how do your hands compare
with those of other women?
Perhaps you wish the fingers were
q little longer and not quite so thin,
and stubby-or that your nails were
more almond-shaped. Very few peo-
pie have perfect hands, but any
woman can make her hands attrac-
tive If she will watch two things
~ the use of her hands, and (2) the
care she gives them.
Uhe first consideration has to do
with the gracefulness Of your hands.
THAT doesn't mean you should take
a course in dramatics. But here's
a dip which comes from the dra-
matte school: Never gesture for
the sake OF gesturlng, or feel that

sincere smile, and as spontaneous.
1t should be expressive of thought
or feeling within you. The thought
or feeling should come first and the
gesticulation spring from 1t, without
any effort on your part. Such move
ments will then have q certain
natural grace. If you have a tend
ency to throw your hands around
like a Dutch windmill, or to effect
certain mannerisms, try to curb
these habits. Keep your hands in
quiet repose when you are not using
them. Avoid nervous fidgeting or
playing with jewelry, or parts Of
your dress or coat. OF course, I
need not caution you against biting
your nails or fingers.
The second important considera-
ton is the grooming of your hands
the nails and skin. During these
more or less wintry days when yen
are inside heated rooms, it is very
easy for the hands to become rough
and chapped. Sometimes this Is
caused by not thoroughly drying
them after they have been in water.
At the best, however, you will prob
ably find that & good hand lotloa 8

A Look at the War
BY S/SGT. JOHN B. HASTY
information Education Office

One of our chief problems, a pSy-
Geological problem, is to show the
Nazi that he is only causing greater
destruction to his home and people
by resisting. Our psychological war;
fare is being waged by means of the
radio and leaflets dropped from the
sky telling the Nazis exactly how,
where and why to surrender and
that they will receive strict but
humane treatment in accordance
with existing rules of warfare.
Prospect for Victory
What is the prospect for complete
victory in Europe? Within the past
week Allied Armies have launched
lightning assault on the inner
fortress of Germany. Red troops in
the East and American, British,
Canadian and French troops in the
West are squeezing the last breath
of resistance from the NaziS. The
Ruhr, great industrial center of the
Reich, has been completely encircled
this week with its 10000 troops try
ing desperately to break out. Other
Nazis have been partially trapped
in Holland, the only escape route
being to the North Sea by the means
of very limited crippled Transports
tion facilities.
The Red juggernaut has moved up
to the gates of Vienna in smash
ing drive through Hungary. Great
Soviet armies now extend along
solid front from the Baltic to within
a few miles of the Adriatic Sea. Any
last ditch stand by the Germans is
now just dismal dream With 1t.

Hitler's to retreat to the BaVarian
Alps. Whether the peace feelers are
real or imaginary we don't know
but the one thing agreed on con-
siStently by the United Nations is
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
for. the Axis partners. This means
that the NaZis, like countries which
have already accepted "uncondi-
tional surrender" Qtaly, Finland,
Bulgaria, Hungary, and Rumania)
will have no voice in setting up the
terms of the peace. The victors, the
Allied Nations, will take complete
control of the military, political,
economic and social life of the con-
quered peoples.
In the words OF Prime Minister
Churchill, Our inflexible insistence
upon unconditional surrender does
not mean that we shall strain our
victorious arms by a wrong and
cruel treatment of the whole popu-
lations. But justice must be done
upon the wicked and guilty, and
within her proper bounds, justice
must be stern and implacable."
