Labor Advances
 By Ruth DembO

c Joe and Union Sam who are fighting on every front of the world to make that word liberty resound throughout the earth are today heartened by what. looks like an approach to the end of the Nazi war. For, as the press rolls perhaps the largest military Offen- sive in history is being hurled against the Nazi hordeS. American strength on the west and Russian might on the east may prove the payoff for the Hitler savages who almost succeeded in enslaving Eur ope. The new Russian drive which unleaShed 250 divisions on the east ern front, coupled with allied drives in the west and south is to- day making the Wehrmacht liter ally shiver in its boots. This is it MT. Hitler, the long promised and expected final drive for the heart of the Reich. This is It. the most difficult phase of the war that requires not half but all our energies for it's full prosecu- tion. We on the home front reaf- firm our pledge to keep that battle front rolling in this toughest pe- riod of the war. Union tanks and guns and E. B. subs and shells marked Groton U. s. A., will con- tinue to go your way, MT. Hitler, until those union boys in uniform march into Berlin. And to you Senator Isolationist Wheeler and your plea for a repudiation of the unconditional surrender terms of the United Nations, we say whose side are you on?" A negotiated peace with Hitler now would mean nothing but breathing spell for the Nazis who are even today plotting for third world war. A negotiated peace now would mean sell-out of the boys who spilled their blood at Pearl Harbor, Dun- kerque, Stalingrad, and Aachen that we might stay free. No, Sem ator Wheeler, unconditional sur- render is the only term we know and we'll stick with 1t until the last Nazi superman is purged from the universe.
 So let the guns roar-and run, Nazi, run!

White Bear
 ..Go&i,u 4Rgod.
By GEORGE s. BENSON hssiden4 of Harding College
 SeorcX Arkons0s

WHITE BEAR Is the name of a man who lives at Quapaw, Okla. He is past 70 and not rich but he is famous for his kindness and generosity for miles farther than you can see the smoke from his "tepee." Some grandparents live in the past but not White Bear. His youngest child, an only son, has kept him young in spirit. The boy was a true Quapaw brave, In fact, a paratrooper.
 Finally to White Bears fireside came an ominous little yellow envelope a telegram from the War Department. The son had liquidated his obligation to the country that was verify his own. The tragedy took place in train ing maneuvers near Des Moines, Ia. White Bear hesitated no min ute after the news came. Prompt ly he drew his savings from the bank, all of them, and boarded a bus.
 A HerO's AT Des Moines a busi- Funeral nesslike officer showed
 White Bear his sons pail. The proud father was asham- ed. The casket seemed far too cheap for one so great and noble as an American paratrooper, a Quapaw fullblood. White Bear frankly spoke his mind and the officer told him how much the government would pay toward a more pretentious funeral. The old tribesman took the suggestion and accepted the credit.
 At home the young brave had been prominent and popular, low ed and admired by many. He must now return like a hero. Handsome things the father desired cost SIP more than the governments fixed

amount. White Bear paid without protest. Then the unhappy father left shipping instructions with the officer and disappeared. Out to- ward the highway he went with out a dollar to thumb rides home In time for the funeral.
 Beyond FORGET for a moment His Day those jaunty horsemen
 of the plains whose hatchets retarded the Gold Rush, Forget also the colored tales of modern Osages rolling in wealth. Here is something more. nearly true: Specimen of a vanishing race, sore of foot and dim of vision, trudging sadly homeward, quite ignored by hurrying traffic; a stranger in his native West, too proud to beg, too honorable to steal. |
 South of Kansas City a short way, White Bears time was more than half gone, his vitality almost depleted and his journey not yet half finished when help came. A suburbanite who had seen Indians before, sparing his tires along the highways outer lane, saw the old man with perceiving eyes; dismissed him two hours later, strengthened with a $2 steak and humbled with a ticket home.
 How ideally American is this elder of the Quapaws. From his eyes no gaudy tears, no simper- ing about economic inequalities, no railing at "the system" no carping about rigid Army rules. With admirable independence he faced what might have been his last crisis, alone, with bitterness toward none, ready with his last penny to glorify his scion, his state and his race.
