Last Will And Testament
Dear ls4s:

Lear lSAo:
 Sorry couldn't be around when you came in. It's not that I don't care. I'm just plain exhausted.
 Now don't smirk, son, but take an old mans advice. Of course they'll sing and cheer the first time they see you and make out like you're great fellow. Don't believe it! They acted that way when l came along-then look what they did to me.
 I no sooner got my first pair of diapers adjusted before they were bowling for meat and cigarettes. saying I was treating them worse than any year they'd ever seen.
 Then that Macarthur fellow be gan battling in Manila and the Marines jumped onto Two Jima and Eisenhower blasted up to the Rhine and hoped across it. had to watch Germany. Then Okina- wa. Then Germany. Then all the Pacific. All of sudden there was no more Mussolini, no more Hit Ter and no more Germany.
 Maybe I should have quit then But they wouldn't let me. Those Superfortresses over Japan and that Halsey chap kept working me 168 hours a week.
 Then they pulled that atom business. You can imagine what that did to my arteries
 Another declaration of war by Russia .. . another atom bomb another surrender. UNO and labor strikes and all kinds of trouble popping all over the world and that Pearl Harbor story and putting war criminals or trial-I guess I've seen just about every thing.
 O.k. son, it's yours. You're young and probably feeling pretty chip per. But before you start feeling sorry for an old codger like me, let me say this: I'll bet you won't get as much done as I did
 Creakingly yours,
 l945.

velop suddenly in connection with
payments from the government.
1t is whispered that some of our
people have had Authorizations on
the subject of dependency and that,
in the lighting services, there are
several individuals under the erro-
neous impressions that they are
the sole support of the same de-
pendent.
We have no way of knowing
whether these mistakes will be
discovered in the future. There
is the chance. Anyway, normally
minded folks will look suspiciously
upon excessive dependency pay
rnents and our advice to those who
think that perhaps they are being
overpaid is that they keep the
money available for return to the
source from which it is enormously
received.
1t might be a better idea to write
the source of the extra cash, tell
ing the facts and getting the sit
uation corrected. 1t might save
headaches a few years from now.

Youth, And Crime

EVERY HOUR, in the United
States, there are 80 larcenies,
81 burglaries, % automobiles stol-
en- and five robberies.
These figures come from the lat
est report of the FBI on crime in
America and are based on statis-
tics from communities of $4,000
population and upward.
The report reveals that the
youth of the land continue to play
a predominant part in crimes
against property. Forty-one per
cent of all persons arrested for
robberies, burglaries, larceny, auto
thefts, embezzlement, fraud, forg-
cry, counterfeiting, receiving stol-
en- property and arson, are under
twenty-one years of age.
These figures deserve the serious
consideration of Americans. Ger.
tainly, the high percentage OF
crimes committed by persons under
twenty-one emphasize the necessity
for well-ordered plans to give
greater attention to the develop.
ment and training Of young peo.
pie. Every town and city should
become more solicitous in its pro-
visions for the needs of its young
people.

Premature Celebrations

ALREADY, premature reports of
victory in Europe have been
heard in the United States. At
least one city council and one Grim
inal court promptly adjourned in
celebration, only to discover that
the reports were erroneous.
The incidents remind us of the
premature peace story that sur
prised the United States in 1918.
Coming from major news serv-
ice, the information was widely
accepted and there was something
of general celebration through
out the nation. Subsequently, the
error was discovered, and not long
afterwards, the armistice was Off
cially signed by the German rep
resentatives.
1t may be that history will re-
peat itself in 1915. The rivalry
of broadcasting stations and press
associations to get the news first
may result in another erroneous
flash" from London or Paris. The
public, however, can afford to wait
for an official announcement be-
fore beginning to celebrate.

Mental Alteration

THE WAR is doing things to the
American mind. Consider the
case, reported in the press, of the
aged lady in Washington who be-
heved that five of her grandsons
were her sole support and the men
who were imbued with the same
erroneous assumption.
Then there is the case of the
lady of wealth who strangely be-
came convinced that nine nephews
were personal dependents.
In these cases, the report tells
us, the errors were corrected when
called to the attention of the per-
sons concerned. Just what methods
were used to emphasize the mis-
takes being made are not clear.
We call attention to these mat
tiers because of rumors that we
have heard to the effect that de-
pendency has been known to de.

The Honor Of The
Family

IT'S A LARGE WORLD and
there are many types of people
to make up the population of the
globe. For oddly we would call
attention to the father in Indiana
who killed his son because he
thought the youth had disgraeed
the family name.
The youngster, it seems, had
been discharged twice by the mer-
chant marine for overstaying his
leave. The middle-aged parent
considered this a reflection on the
family honor and shot the son, in
f1icting a mortal wound.
Let's not get into a discussion as
to the morality of the killing. Few
individuals would consider that the
father had any. What interests
us is the intensity of the parent
about the family honor. Regard
less of his stern and criminal deed
the old man had something.
How many families are there
today which give three boots about
the family honor, especially if it.
costs them some money to uphold
it? How many families are there
to become disgraced over the shame
that often accompanies the dis
reputable conduct of member of
the group?
Leaving the family alone, let's
consider individuals. How many
do you know, including yourself,
are ready to make definite and
costly sacrifice for the sake of
honor, as it may be understood
by an individual? How many chill
dren, growing up in this commu-
nifty, are taught that the honor
able course is the only proper
course in life, regardless of finan-
cial or other results?

Using Observation-Disclosures
This IS THE SWEETEST

break any CT ever got" de-
clares a soldier wounded in the
Remagen bridgehead area, refer
ring to the fact that he, and other
wounded soldiers, We're evacuated
in glider-ambulances which put
them in an evacuation hospital
some sixty miles behind the lines.
The wounded man says that he
got "nailed by Jerry bullet about
eight in the morning and here ]
am at a hospital for lunch" He
says that if he had made the trip
by ambulance, it would have been
horrible ride over rough roads
and he would not have gotten to
the hospital before nightfall.
Army medical authorities be-
lieve that elders may eliminate
ambulances for hauling battle cas-
ualties long distances over cratered
roads to hospitals. They point out
that the gliders serve dual pur-
pose, because, when lowed into
battle areas, they carry medical
supplies.
While it may not be possible for
every wounded American soldier
to be transported in a glider am
bulance, the fact that Army medi-
cal authorities have adopted this
means of transportation should re.
assure the loved ones of men fight
ing overseas. 1t emphasizes the
care and solieitude which are being
showed to wounded men.
Certainly, in this war, American
generals have shown the utmost
consideration of their soldiers
when giving battle to the enemy
and those who are wounded receive
the utmost possible in attention
and treatment. s8RAh. q.
