Day By Day
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

For the last fortnight of our
Summer sojourn on Blue Heron
Point, our Canadian camp, we
had, all unexpectedly and to our
i great joy, a visit from our Navy
doctor son and his family. He
came by plane almost directly
from the Naval Hospital, where he
had spent three months after a
grave operation, following an in
jury received in the Solomon Is
lands. The doctors prescribed the
woods, and especially swimming,
for convalescence.
He brought new eyes and ears
to Blue Heron Point. He heard and
saw birds that we had never no.
ticed. He and Milady, in short
tramps through our woods, re.
turned laden with new plants. He
wrote down a list of twenty light
different varieties of ferns they
had observed. Since his Boy Scout
days,-he was an Eagle Scout
Kin has been a devoted natural
list. He has joy in nature-study
that is beyond words.
AS I watched him, day after
day, growing stronger and more
active, I learned anew the old les
Son of the healing that abides in
Gods great out of doors. The hor.
ror of our sons year on, the Pa.
cific islands is being OVERLAND by
the peace of our lovely lake and
OF our quiet forest. The Old Tesla.
ment word, Thou shalt be in
League with the stones of the field"
is truer than much in "Materia
Medica."
We would delight in Thee, and
in all Thy handiwork, o Infinite
Creator and loving Father. Help
us ever to find happiness in the
simpicities of Nature. Amen. !.

Wholesale Slaughter

Continually fresh evidence of japanese bar

airmen slain on the eve of the emeny's sur

death by Japanese after capture are located
Ever since the start of occupation no day has
passed without the discovery of enemy inhu-

Among the latest revelations is the behead-

In learning such things it is but natural to

The wife of Senator Glass, Demo-

her husband has made no public
comment on suggestions that he
resign because of i'll health.
Mrs. Glass. referring to editorials
which several Virginia newspapers
have printed suggesting that the
Senator should resign, said:

and he said, It's not worth paying
any attention to- And that was
not just before me-he said it be-
fore two gentlemen. Neither Mr..
Glass nor I have paid any atten-
ton to it."
She said, however, that several of
the Senator's friends frequently Wis
tied him privately, and she does not
know whether he has discussed the
matter with them. The 87-year-old
Senator could not be reached for
statement.
He has been absent from the SEN

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 17.-Stanley
e. Hubbard, president and general
manager of Radio Station KSTP,
attested today he had capitulated to
"Petrilloism" in the settlement yes
terday of his 11-month- dispute
with the Minneapolis Musicians AS
sociation, Local 73.
Mr.. Hubbard said James G. Pc
trillo, president of the American
Federation of Musicians, with which
the local is affiliated, has demon
strated he has more power than the
National War Labor Board and had
successfully and daringly defied the
President of the United States"
George Murk, president of the
local said MIR. Hubbard sought to
employ our musicians without a
written agreement. We insisted he
write an agreement on a comparable
basis with his competitors.
The Hubbard statement said that
during his long battle with Mr..
Petrillo he had sought justice
through the State labor conciliator
the regional War Labor Board, the
Federal labor conciliator and the
National WLB. All had rendered
unqualified decisions he said but
Mr.. Petrillo had demonstrated "he
has more power than all of them"
The radio executive charged that
the union leader had circumvented
the courts and the WLB and defied
the President. Now, he added, Mr.
Petrillo is successfully defying and
outwitting Congress" in his recent
action barring high school chill
dren from the air.
while our boys are overseas fight
ing for freedom, we at home are
losing our independence" he
charged.
"If the Petrillo system of forcing
an employer to contract for men ahe
does not need and to pay royalties
directly to the union because union
men are employed in the manufac-
ture of his commodity is adopted by
other unions, it means the finish of
American business" Mr.. Hubbard
declared.
He added that the remedy for this
situation lies in the hands of Con-
gress.
