JAPANESE BRAVERY

Brave the japanese are, with
out doubt. They are brave be-
cause Shinto. in proclaiming the
Japanese to be a master race
of gods under a divine COM
mand TO conquer the world for
their Emperor, has given them
both a sense of superiority and
sense of mission which every
Japanese is trying to live up TO.
They are brave because they
have bee taught from childhood
that it is their greatest glory to
die for the Emperor and thei-
greatest disgrace to surrender
a disgrace that will cast them out
Of the ranks of the gods and OF
their own family. Indeed, the
captive Japanese is officially
dead to his nation and his family
and the japanese Government
SO treats him. They are brave,
finally, because Shinto teaches
them that being gods they do
not really die, and that if they
end this mundane phase of exist
.nce we'll, especially on the bat
tie field, they will continue 70
live as gods in the spirit world,
and will be worshiped as patron
gods of the nation ever after.
On this fundamental basis
which. provides the dynamics of
action and obscures the dividing
line between life and death, the
japanese Shinto statesmen have
erected a code of behavior di-
recting the action toward the
desired end. That code is known
as Bushido, or the Way Of the
Warrior" which has developed
the only ethical ideal the Jap
anese knoW-absolute loyalty to
the Emperor-unto death.
This does not mean that the
japanese welcomes death. All
flesh breads death and dissolution
The japanese war literature is
ample proof of this, and so is the
claiming of Japanese soldiers IN
exposed observation posts of the
Pacific islands. But in most sit
nations the indoctrination is able
10 overcome the dread, and the
soldiers body is conditioned for
that purpose by a harsh and
grueling training exceeding any
known in the West. Yet every
so often, the natural dread of
ceath and Shinto indoctrination
clash too harsly in the Japanese

New Sheriff's
Petrol Nobs
B q & Suspect

VAN DYKE - The policy Of
door checking, inaugurated last
week by Sheriff arley Ensign in
an effort TO curb the recent bur-
glary wave, paid off Wednesday
morning when Sheriff's deputies
caught a burglar red-handed in
local tavern.
Deputies John South and
Floyd Beard were going through
the usual routine of checking
doors when they noticed some
one moving in Jacobs tavern at
23231 Van Dyke.
They entered the business es-
tabliShment and arrested Paul
Bowman, 10, of 1880 Dodge, Van
Dyke. The deputies said that
Bowman had entered the build
ing by knocking out the glass in
the door and inserting his hand.
Bowman was taken to the Ma
comb county Jail where he is be-
ing held for breaking and enter
ing in the nighttime. The dep
uties said that Bowman has been
arrested previously for stealing
cars and burglaries.
The effectiveness OF the door
to-door checkup was wildly
portrayed by the fact that the
deputies made the arrest almost
as soon as Bowman had entered
the tavern and he did not even
have an opportunity to ransack

Yank Enjoys Rest
on Isle Of Capri

EAST DETROIT-Staff Sgt.
Dave Lavadiere, formerly of
East Detroit, and a graduate of
East Detroit High School, enjoy
ed a seven day rest period on
that famous Isle of Capri, during
the month of March.
Lavadiere is one of the key
personnel men who have played
a ground mans vital part in the
success of such operations as the
sinking of Rommers life line
ammunition convoy off Bizerte
during the crucial days of the
Tunisian campaign; the air bat
tie over Regensburg, Germany,
IN February, 1914; the predawn
coverage of the invasion of
southern France; and the battle
of the oil wells which cut Hitler
plane supply lines.
In a letter to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Louis B. Ahmun, Ro-
chester, Mich, he wildly de-
scribed how much they enjoy ed
the needed rest, and how good it
seemed TO sleep between clean
cool sheets again. Well cooked
civilian food was good, too.
One trip he took during the
week was to the Castle of Ii
bcrias, and he writes the fol-
lowing Everything went fine
until we were about half way
up. It's an uphill climb all the
way and with every step began
to see why they called Tiberias
the Mad King, because a guy
must be nuts to build his bloom

Uncle Sam has requisitioned
some of the most beautiful
homes on the island for the rest

live like kings for seven days.
Resting, eating, and leisurely
sight seeing is about all they
care to do.
