Daily Prayer
FOR SERVICE UNITS

We have prayer today, 0 Cap.
tain of our salvation, for the men
and women in iEe forces Of the
United Nations VINO are doing
monotonous and difficult service
behind the lines. Not theirs the
glow of combat or the heroism Of
battle. Yet they are one with
their comrades who bear arms,
Their labors are essential to other
mems fighting. Their devotion is
not one whit behind that of the
front-line heroes. God sustain
them by great and Christian
ideals. Especially do we remem-
Der before Thy throne the wom'
en- in uniform: God bless them for
their patriotism and efficiency, We
commend to Thy care the nurses,
the social workers, the entertain
ers, and all who have heard the
call of duty and of Country. Grant
that the united loyalty of the men
who fight, on land or sea or IN
the air, joined to all the wonders
wrougt by patriots on the home
front, may bring us early victory;
for the sake of the world and Tor
the glory of the Most High. Amen

The Community Forum

The Community Forum will begin its elghth
season tonight with Samuel Dashlel' noted war
correspondent the speaker in the New Han
over High school auditorium. His topic will be
"France-The United States Best Friend in
Europe.
brilliant lecturer and author with an ex-
cellent background that equips him well to
discuss world politics. we feel that DR.. Da-
shell will not disappont his audience The
question is: Will Mr.. Dashiell's audience disap-
point him? That brings up the subject OF sup
port, or rather lack OF real support OF the
Forum in recent years
DESPITE the fact that its contribution to the
city's cultural life has been considerable, the
road of it's sponsors has been far from an
easy financial one. They are to be congratu-
lated on their courage, in the face of previous
experiences, of launching another years pro-
grams And, we may add, Wilmington owes
them a debt of gratitude for their determine
ton against unfavorable odds in extending the
series into it's eighth year.
Why support of the Forum has not measured
up to earlier expectations, we do not know
We do know however, that this form of in
tellectual entertainment has succeeded with
each year bringing an improvement in quail
ty of programs, in other communities, some
much smaller than ours. But the past is water
over the dam. The question now is support of
the eighth season, which gets away to an
excellent start with Mr. DashielPs appearance.
1t is not too late to assure new success for
the coming year and every civic minded
Wilmngtonian is offered the opportunity to do
SO. This year may prove the one that will
decide the future of the Forum here and it
is only through Wholehearted public support
that it can be assured.

So much alive, in fact, that on
driving into the city from the air.
port we saw men, women and
children enjoying themselves on a
merry-go-round despite the wintry
cold. Back in 1910, nobody was in
the mood for fun.
I seldom saw sadder sight
than Parisians kneeing in tears at
the Unknown Soldiers tomb, fear
ing that the sacrifices of 1914-1S
had been in vain. Now Frenchmen
and foreigners again come to pay
homage at the tomb, but it is with
new hope in their hearts for a
lasting peace.
BY an ironic twist of fate, Al
lied war correspondents live at the
same hotel where the Nazis bill
leted us in 1910, but again, what
a change! Then surly French
walters served on command. White
linens had disappeared. Food was
cooked by Indifferent, if not hos
tile chefs. Now we enjoy excellent
meals brought by smiling walters
as we sit at tables where the linen
is changed after each customer.

PARIS, Jan. 20.-OelayeO-
Returning to Paris and seeing its
famed boulevards teeming again
with military vehicles is a case
of experiencing history in reverse
to those few foreign correspon.
dents who, like the writer, drove
in German trucks into the fallen
French capital June IA, 1910.
But what a difference! Then the
streets and avenues were empty;
row they TEEN with life.
Then I counted exactly II per
sons at Paris busiest spot, the
famed Place Concord. Normal life
is in evidence there now except
that there are only few private
cars and no taxis.
Then rs per cent of the inhabi-
tants had fled before the blitzing
enemy. Now they are back in their
homes, even though hot water is
rationed and electric current fails
occasionally.
Then Paris was a ghost city with
the few residents remaining n o
daring to emerge from their
homes. Now the streets are alive
again, very much alive.

Discretion Is Right

Proposal that war freight have the right of
way, with a policy Of disseminating railroad
passenger service wherever necessary, is an

ton, resulting from bad weather where winter
is really winter.
This freight jam clearing suggestion is not
an order to the railroads, it is explained by
the director of ODT, but each carrier is al
lowed to use its own discretion. The policy
of largely allowing this discretion has worked
well. The railroad people know better than
anybody ese how to get the most out of their
equipment.
Experience of World War I, when the rail.
roads were taken over by the government,
was left in the hands of the ralroaders but

were clogged.
Passenger traffic is now secondary to freight

In an emergency it is second fiddle stuff
But it is wise to let the railroad executives

Streamlined Congress

Any conscientious voter should find Robert
Hellers new pamphlet, Strengthening t h e
Congress- interesting reading. Mr.. Heller, a
business management consultant, has APP
preached the subject of proposed streamlin-
ing of Congress with businesslke efficiency.
And his findings might provide the average
citizen with some surprises.
This average citizens judgment Of Congress
is often hay connection of cusswords and
misunderstanding But the Heller survey, COM
missioned and published by the National Plan
ming Association, is calculated to give the
reader new respect for the size of his SEN
some amazement that they perform it as well
as they do under existing circumstances
Mr.. Heller suggests that many congressional
shortcomings arise from the fact that Congress
is operating with hand tools in mechanical
age And he would scrap many OF these hand
ally harmful.
He recommends, among other things, aboli
ton of too numerous, overlapping, time-con-
Stunning committees, OF the seniority rule for
appointing committee chairmen, OF the fill
buster, and the practice of lacking controver-
that the President is almost forced to sign.
And he would match these and other additions
with some sensible recommendations
Many Of them involve the expenditure OF
money Mr.. Heller would give Individual Con
gressmen enough money to hire really first
rate assistants. He would allow committees
funds for competent specialists, advisors ano
researchers, thus freeing them from their pres
ent necessity Of depending on executive depart
ment experts who not nfrequently have q
departmental AK to grind
| And Mr.. Heller favors higher salaries for
congressmen-$25,0 1000 a year in place of the
present $10,00O-and a generous pension 1t is

BY ROBERT RICHARDS

WITH 8Oth DIVISION INSIDE
WILT, Jan. 22.-UP)-There was
an advertisement just inside the
Wilt city limits which called it
Luxembourg's capital of the Ar
dennes, and there are at least four
G. is who will never forget that
sign as long as they live because
they collapsed in the snow with
their eyes upon it.
Perhaps they had just been try
ing to puzzle out the phrases and
that's why this thing happened
they forgot to be alert.
Each man stepped upon a mine
left concealed beneath the snow in
the road and each man lost one
foot.
We walked into the town through
the same minefield a short while
later, guided by a sergeant of the
Engineer Corps who pointed out
the flat, ugly shapes on either side
of our trail.
These mines and BOBBY traps are
practically the only defense the
Germans attempted for this town,
which originally was scheduled to
be the southern anchor of their de-
Tense line for maintaining the Ar
dennes bulge
Knowing American habits well
and realizing the Doughboys' curl
osity concerning churches, the
Nazis paved the path to the Wilt
church with BOBBY traps. They also
are believed to have left many
mines and BOBBY traps inside the
church itself.
The battle toward Wilt, through
the bitter cold and snow, was
much more fight of soldier
against soldier than machine
against machine.
Capt. Cyril J. Hatch, "a, of Chi
cago, praised the spirit of the men
OF his company when they were
harassed all day by sniper fire at
Ringel, three and one-half miles
southeast of Wilt. One German
marksman had been particularly
troublesome.
FINALLY two of my riflemen got
sore and said they were going to
bag him." Hatch said. "They
started out over the snow and the
German shot one of them right be-
tween the eyes and badly wounded
the second.
THE wounded man lay in the
snow, crying, and we were able to
