 GA Coast Guard Correspondent
 Aboard a Coast Guard Assault Transport En Route From Guam (SpeciaD-Joe had plenty of rea- sons for wanting to get back to Guam. His girl, three sisters, and two brothers were there. Joe is stewards mate now serving as mess boy for the captain aboard this Coast Guard assault trans port.
 A native Chamorro of Guam with an American citizenship, Joe joined the Service in September of 1941. Four months later he was in Pearl Harbor when the Japs at tackled. He was in the hospital re- covering from a slight ailment and saw bed-ridden patients cut down as they attempted to escape from a wing.
 Fifteen months later he was survivor of the carrier Lexington when it was sunk in the Coral Sea by Jap planes. It took Joe 47 min utes to gain the upper deck and jump over the side.
 Joe had not heard from his fam. fly since the Japs invaded Guam shortly after Pearl Harbor. When this ship was picked to participate in the retaking of the islands he was overjoyed. Marines told him he would soon be with his family and that they would keep them from harm if possible. All civil ians had been warned beforehand by leaflets thrown from planes to get back into the hills before the bombardment began.
 As Joe's Coast Guard ship ap- preached Guam, he stood quietly at the railing. Came debarkation time and troops filed over the side and into landing craft.
 "Now must be the time. will see my family again." said Joe.
 But the captain shook his head and told Joe that the beach was still unsafe, and Joe went back to the rail. There he stood patiently with big sheath knife hanging from his belt, as he had vowed that he would "let" Jap blood.
 Suddenly messenger dashed to the captain. Immediately there
  was a hustle and Joe heard the ore der, Prepare to get underway"
 The ship had received orders to return to a central Pacific base. He lad travelled so far. He had waited so long to get back home, but he never travelled that last mile.

CAN IT BE TRUE?

It seems ironic that recently-liberated France should take such wanton advan- tage of another nation.
 The killing of hundreds of innocent persons needlessly, shamefully, is truly not praiseworthy feat.
 French soldiers, on order from Paris fired on and shelled Damascus, killing and wounding nearly 1000 persons. Why? All because the Arabs wished for their independence, for their economic security, certainly not out of line, in these modern times.
 The French certainly do not react we'll in the face of their liberators, who, after freeing the nation, helped rearm its fighting forces. Now in thanks for chas- ing out the Germans, the French are now doing the things for which they called the Nazis dirty" Taking advantage of smaller nation, by armed might, when the rest of the world is trying to iron out difficulties in a peaceful manner at con- ference tables.
 The French military authorities should have taken their claims to the confer ence table, where both sides of the ques- tion could be weighed and a decision made, but they even went so far as to tell

THINK TT OVER
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Our postwar expectations may need a little mulling over. We may, like some of the advertisements of postwar scientific wonders, be selling ourselves a little more than circumstances will be able to deliver
 If consumer demand is any foundation for prosperity, we shall have it, once our industrial plant is converted from war back to peacetime production. AS back log of demand for consumer goods, add up some 12,000,000 automobiles; 5,0O0,- 900 refrigerators; 3,5O0,OOO vacuum cleaners; 15,OOO,OOO radios; 7,OOO,OOO electric irons, and 100000 homes. If things work out right, that may only be a starter-the catch-up items, after which we will begin on new high pla- teau of living standard made possible by an industrial plant greater than any ever dreamed of in the world before.
 That's the rosy part of the picture, to be attained if your opportunities are not bungled. But some people have tended to paint the prospect of the future in colors a little to lurid to accord with fact.
 They begin with the view that because we now are producing arms enough for most of the world, and at the same time are looking after civilian needs reason ably we'll even though not entirely ade- quately, we should, after the war, know no limit to our achievements. But this view falls down with the assumption that somehow the world will be richer after the war. Such cannot be the case.

as high as in England and six times as high as in Japan because only in America are workmer backed up with AZ horsepower ot installed quipment apiece, worth $6,ooo.
 Do American workmen earn more because they work harder? No indeed! They do not work as hard nor as long. Their pay is in proportion to their production: Twice that of an Englishman, three times that of an European, six times that of an Oriental. The necessary investment has been made by men who have prospered and saved and now hope to pros per further by intelligent invest ment.
 Under the American system of free private enterprise, a few five talent men are extremely we'll paid. They earn it because all they get is very little compared to the in- come they create for others. Less than 16% of the national income will pay everybody in America who earns, $1O, ,O0O year or more. Occasionally somebody shouts for capitalized incomes. What the. con-. plainer really says is: Down with competent men! Let's ruin their investments, wreck their machin- cry and live on Japanse stand ards."'

 business, and travel. Before leav- ing, he set up budget to continue operations, appropriating substan- tial funds to three subordinateS: 62k percent to A, 25 percent to B and 1912 percent to C. When, af- ter a long time, the head of the firm came back and asked for an accounting, he learned that A and B both had doubled their money but the incompetent MT. C had barely saved his principal. What happened after that? Well, the management dismissed C and assigned his appropriation to the especially capable MT. A. The story is told perfectly in the New Testament, Matt. 25:14-S0. Tn his text is the origin of the term "five-talent man" meaning a per- son of exceptional ability in mat ters of business. It shows how business prospers in the hands of capable energetic people. It is one of the many parables of Jesus. Community Builders
 The knack of making money is skill desired by many but ad- mired by few. Often we hear peo- pie speak of it with contempt. On several occasions, curiosity has led me to ask different ones why they did it. Every answer implied that accumulating capital is sle- fish. One woman said, Musicians play and sing for all to hear. Ar lists make pictures for all to see. But the man who piles up money is serving only himself"
 Her answer disclosed consider able prejudice but not much thought. The truth is that a man with money-making ability is al- most always a blessing to his com- munity. People who know how to assemble capital and manage it well are public benefactors. They improve incomes for people around them more than for them selves. The best wages are paid only where big investments have been placed and where good prof its are being made. Economists say: Wages increase with capital invested, but it's more than al mere theory.
 Investments Make Wages
 Common sense teaches that CD in the long-run people get paid for what they produce, CD with good equipment they can produce more and earn more, (3 but it takes in- vestment to provide equipment. Every workman in any plant is richer because of tre investment in it. Wages in America are twice

 Iron Out Summer Squint Lines With Night Cream And Clockwise Massage
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Does your hand-mirror reveal any squint lines around your eyes, as re- minderS of your summers fun?
 Yes? Well, you'll want to iron them out before they deepen and become permanent grooves. Lessons in removal come from Bud Vest more, Hollywood makeup expert, who says to look closer and you'll discover that "squints' line up diagonally or in counter-clockwise curves. That's your cue, he tells you, to massage in the opposite or clock wise direction.
 What kind of massaging cream do you think you should use? The wrong kind is heavy emollient that is so slow to budge 1t takes heavy fingerwork - which is apt to put in more wrinkles than you era dicate.
 The right kind of a medium weight night-cream which gives easy slide to fingers moving in semi circles around the eyes in clockwise motions.
 Make this ritual the last one be- fore you crawl between the sheets, and don't mind bit if you go to bed wearing pair of oily goggles. !"

 There is an ease, an assurance about them which they didn't have when they left the same station two or three years ago.
 Of course, there are still sad pie lures, too. The men who did not come through unhurt. The men who aren't met by happy and excited families.
 And the ever-present reminder that many of the families who a year or two or three or four ago saw their men of will never know the joy of meeting train that is bring ing them home again.
 ENOUGH HAPPINESS FOR ALL
 But still there is enough happiness around the railroad stations these days to make them have an entirely different look.
 Even if you haven't any business there-just meet a train or two, any how.
 Youl see more real drama, more of life'S highest moments in few hours at railroad situation during these months when the men are coming home than you could find ir any book, play or movie.

 Tn today's hand, North ruffed the second round of hearts in dummy, took two rounds of trumps, and then knocked out the diamond ace. Now the contract depends on locat- ing the queen of clubs.
 North cashed the balance of the diamonds and found West holding three diamonds and two spades. Therefore, Vests overcall of two hearts should mark him with a six card heart suit. This would leave East with three clubs, and the per- centage favors the hand holding three to have the queen. In other words, East had three chances to hold the queen against two on the part of West.

Fear naturally induces one or the other reaction; fight or flight. You instinctively wish to remove or de- Stroy what you fear or else run away from it. A child or other sensitive person may faint or be- come too weak to move when startled or suddenly confront by some strange or menacing thing. A good many people who are neither sissies nor towards be- come faint or i'll at the mere sight of bleeding even though it be no more than is good tor the slight wound.
 Anxiety and worry are milder forms of fear-say chronic rather than acute fear, or diluted fear.
 Fear is the principal cause of surgical shock and traumatic shock (trauma means injury or wounO |. Every physician knows how import ant it is to allay fear and to avoid frightening or alarming the patient, no matter what the nature of the illness may be. Every surgeon takes routine steps to insulate the pa tient when preparing for operation. It is to this insulation or anoci- association (well leave that to Webster) that we owe the remark able freedom from shock in mod ern surgery
 The symptoms, bodily changes, alterations in appearance and dis turbanceS of various bodily func- tionS are the same in anxiety or worry and shock, but in anxiety or worry these manifestations are more likely to be misinterpreted or at tributed to causes which really have nothing to do with the pa- tient's conditions.

 Some people prefer to call it just care or responsibility-but it is still anxiety, worry or fear, by what ever pleasant name you please to disguise it.
 You fear whatever you think may harm you, and the thought of be- ing harmed arouses your anger Purpose of this anger is to remove drive away or frighten off, or to destroy the menace. This is not just my view of the matter. refer you to Darwin's.
