hearsay or attempting melodrama
though some question whether all the
hundreds killed by Stain were as inno-
cent as Barmine says.
Barmine hopes that in the heat of the
prejudice and passion the book has
stirred up, it will not be forgotten that
his fight is to prove that Russia won
this war, not because of Stain but be-
cause of vast spaces, snow, mud, lease

Stain.

Suppose we do harness atomic power
maybe not in this generation, but per-
hapssin the next, or the one after that.
What then?
DR.. Paul F. Douglass, president of
American University here, summarizes
what a dozen scientists, educators and
Government and religious leaders told
me:
I'VE either are going to live on an
animalistic plane, or we are going to
have Towering of civilization which
is unparalleled ana which will reflect
itself in art, literature, music and
beauty"
Although atomic energy may one day
supplant coal and oil, irrigate waste
lands, make agriculture possible in
doors, eliminate plaques and reduce our
enemies to plain objectives-
Although people are saying we. can
have universal comfort, practically free
transportation and unlimited supplies
of material
DR.. Douglas predicts that with more
energy and less work, this can happen:

to see them-or vice versa" says Mrs.
DuMond as she guides a party through

THE free monkeys almost never run
any more. They're too fond of the pea

the spectators.
Mostly they're friendly and not shy
at all, but sometimes they'll gang up
and you have to be careful Three years

German Trophies
Different stages in the war brought
on different hobbies. After the German
defeat, the youngsters became interested
in German trophies and other European
items. One boy wrote to three service
men stationed in Germany begging them
to send him anything German" Out
of that appeal he got a swastika arm

The war is over for everybody but the
kids!
They're still shipping at each other
from behind bushes and trees, making
strange noises that resemble machine
guns and dive bombers, and screaming,
You're supposed to be dead, you Jap!"
On Jap surrender night District area
youngsters were as enthusiastic as their
elders-carrying American flags, blowing
bugles, battering up their mothers dish
pans and generally whooping it up.
But next day they were right back on
the job playing war games with as much
fervor as ever.
A check of toy stores here reveals
sales of tanks, guns, helmets and other
war toys are holding up now that the
war is over. A few stores even reported,
surprisingly enough, that sales have
apparently increased.
Some kids made their own equipment,
raiding local junk yards for metal to
turn out everything from walkie-talkies
to Tommy guns. One mother said,
They're crude, but they certainly look
deadly"
Kids Have New War Hobbies
The war brought new hobbies to the
kids, and they don't want to give them
up. Stamp collecting has been pushed
aside by collections of insignia. Many
boys have become interested in foreign
money. Some collect captured German
and japanese trophies. One boy even
fashioned his own insignia, embroidering
elaborate designs in heavy gold thread.
The youngsters have given war angle
to many activities.
A grasshopper concentration camp"
Is the current interest of a group of
boys in a nearby Virginia suburb The
boys capture grasshoppers, put them into
tin cans, hold them prisoner and then
dispatch them.
The mother of one shook her head.
II hope they soon get back to peace
time games" she said.
Decoration Ceremonies
Another group, a few doors away,
recently conducted decoration cere-
mony in the basement of one boys
home. Each youngster had military
rank and wore real insignia. The
commanding general" who made the
awards, was dressed in an elaborate
"get-up," with service ribbons, medals,
stars, and lot of gold braid thrown
in for good measure. During the pres
entation of distinguished Service
Medal one boy stepped forward,
saluted, and addressed a lieutenant"
standing nearby.

mother is calling you upstairs, SIR
The ceremony continued.
Even the small fry seem reluctant to
go back to the sand box and playing
ball. They are seldom seen without q
gun, boat, plane, or some other piece
of war equipment. They might have
played with the same kind of toys before
the war. but the play things wouldn't
have been as real. Nor could the chill
dren have talked the. same way.

Medal of Honor Winner
Wants a Chicken Farm

Frank said, 1--WE decided we'd both better
go. We did not volunteer, you under
stand, but just let our deferments run
out.
Those battles in Belgium and Lux
embourg and Germany were wicked. 1t
was hell. But If had to choose under
the same circumstances again, and
knowing what it was like, I'd do exactly
as did.
Somebody has to fight for this coun-
try, and it's worth the fight"
James is with the Seabees in the Pa
cific. Their father, having sold his
farm, is foreman of the road crew. He
feels no bitterness over the changes war
wrought in his life, and neither does
Frank.
Frank thinks Salem is the finest spot
in the finest country on earth. On all
sides Frank and Marguerite have sis
tiers, uncles and aunts, and they all get
on quite happily together with their
friendly neighbors.
Friendly Neighbors
Frank found the same kind of friend
ly neighbors in the Army. He misses
them. You live with a company night
and day, month after month and you
get to feeling it's your own family" he
explained.
II hated fighting, and waiting in
England was awful, too, but really did
not mind, because of the boys"
There were only II of those boys still
fighting when Frank left them-1l of
the original 1913 in his company, a unit
of the 18th Keystone) Division. They
were with the LIST Army at the time On
October II, 1914, Frank fought for the
last time. His third wound was a bad
one in the hip. He was taken out of
the Huertegen Forest and spent the
next four months in hospital in Eng
land.
His outfit had gone into battle the
previous July. During September,
Frank earned the Medal of Honor.

The War Is Still On for the Boy Armies in the Backward

Most popular items with kids, it was
agreed by toy shop personnel, are walkie-
talkies. tanks, planes, guns, helmets and
boats. Most Of those articles are a good
duplication of the real thing as to color,
design and detail.
Insigne Collecting
One youngster who has taken UP"
insigne collecting is John Van Lear, II,
of darlington. He was asked how he
got his articles.

men give them to me. Or sometimes I

DO they usually give them to you?"
he was asked.
Almost always" he said. They don't
seem to mind a bit"
Among the articles in his collection
are two generals stars, a Lieutenant
commanders shoulder boards, captains
bars, shoulder patches, service stripes, a
saber chain, majors leaves, Guadal-
canal patch, Marine insignia and braid
which he has had sewn on his hats.

His friend, equally we'll versed on the
subject of air weapons, said: It don't
care. Mines P-38 and it really can
fly fast, too"
Girls, for the most part, have held to
their normal peacetime interests. They
seem to be satisfied to play with dolls,
clack around in the mothers much-t too
large high-heeled shoes, ride bicycles,
make fudge and play ball.
Will this interest in playing war"
develop children in the wrong direction?
That is an old question, and it has
been debated many times. Some child
psychologists say it's bad thing to en-
courage aggressive impulses in children.
Others say it's perfectly harmless and
permits energetic youngsters to blow
off steam"
DR.. Winfred Overholser, superintend-
ent of st. Elizabeth's Hospital and Sec
rotary OF the American Psychiatric As
ISOLATION, says:
Il don't know who's right, and don't
think anybody can say which side is
right. I'm inclined to think this playing
war isn't the worst thing that can hap
pen to child. The important thing is
to teach the child that it is only game,
that although people have to fight dur
ing wartime, it is not done in earnest
by civilized people at any other time"
When asked the other day if he is
still playing war games even though the
war is over, 10-year-old boy said:
"Sure, I'm still playing war"
''Why don't you play cowboys and In
dians2
I'D rather kill Japs," he said, raising
his wooden gun to sight along the bar
rel.
When Brothers Come Home
One toy shop owner vino reported toy
sales have risen since the Jap surrender,
gave this reason:
II think it's because older brothers are
coming home talking war and their ex-
periences to the kids. The kids want to
carry out everything the brothers have
done. II the brother was on q submarine,
the kid wants to buy toy submarine;
II IL was B-2s, that's what he wants"

its own bailiwick and seldom crossing

In 1882 DuMond and his pretty,

their 2-year-old son for Florida to es-

monkeys and capital of $243 Pursu-

and built caged-in walks for the spec

In a twinkling DuMonds theory back

underbrush and stayed there.
For days, weeks, months, nothing
could lure them forth. The jungle was
full of wild grapes, figs, plums, berries,
sweet bark and acornS. Hidden in the
brush, the monkeys shrilled their jeers
at DuMonds attempts to entice them
with bananas and fresh-cut apples.
But DuMond stuck to his dream. He
got job with a Miami commercial art

years, the monkeys began to come back
more than twice the original dozen he
had turned loose!
