more than four million in "E
bonds alone have been written, the

The Treasury Department oti1cl-

Italy Will Require Years

Ambassador Alberto Tarachini of
Italy was quoted by the Community
War Fund yesterday as saying eco
nomic conditions in his homeland
have been so disrupted by the war
that 1t will require several years for
Italy to regain "supportable sit
uation.'
The Community War Fund is a
member of the National War Fund
from which the American Relief for
Italy draws part of its support.
Food and transportation, the en-
voy said, are Italy's chief needs
now. There will be no substantial
crops, he explained, until farmlands
flooded by the Germans are re-
stored Transportation, he said. is
needed to distribute relief supplies.
At present, he added, the death rate
among children under / year of age
in Italy is As per cent.
The Ambassador expressed thanks
to the relief society for 'its splendid
work on behalf of my stricken
country" and said Americans may
take pride and satisfaction in
knowing they will have contributed

Facing Facts
1t isn't a problem of condoning in
facing facts, and facing them away
from background of traditional su-
perstition.

The Bill of Rights
But friends, DR.. Anderson explained,
are not always tangible or personal.
Take the Bill of Rights. That was
friend of every American. Wouldn't she
fight for 1t? She would.
And the soldier who was afraid to die
All he knew about death was the trap
pings of the funeral. the morbidity. the
promises of Heaven or hell. What did
it all add up to?
II don't know" replied the minister

tory Is Jesus and His resurrection. I
myself believe that we weren't meant to
die, but to live, so that leads me to be-

But don't live for reward. Plan your
life without thought of heavenly reward
or hell's punishment. But be ready for
whatever comes after. If there is any
thing, you'll be ready for it. If not,
you haven't lost anything"
Solid Talk
That was solid talk. If the minister,
confessing no more knowledge than the
soldier, wasn't afraid to die, why should
the soldier be? The soldier has written
since of going into battle, not without
fear, but without fear of death.
This is only beginning; the church
is looking for increasing value from the
laboratory during rehabilitation, when
people everywhere must be resold on
responsibilities and when lost faith must
be found again.

infidelity. The WAC who had

believe in war. The soldier who
was afraid to die. =.
Science cannot ease these "confusec
minds" but religion can: that is the
premise upon which the Congregational
Church is building a concept OF religion
which combines the ancient rite of con-
fessional-without absolution-and
realistic "face the facts" counsel for
solution.
The experimental laboratory Is in

Church. It was picked by the National
Church because Atlanta is in the Bible

fundamental. The board figured that,
if streamlined process of religion would
work here, it would work anywhere.

There are possibly some writers today
whose literary talents have a tendency
to destroy character and patriotism and
produce immortality, but though their
works may be profitable in dollars and
cents, yet these will die with them,
while, on the other hand, the beautiful

Burroughs, dealing with nature and Its

good books can be found on the shelves

Local Cyclist Pedals 100000 Miles
To Beat the Transportation Problem
BY Elizabeth M. Aman.

With 100000 miles Of nedalling, the
equivalent Of l6 round trips to San
Francisco. to his credit, Alan Leighton
Of as Hamilton street, Cottage City,
Maryland. nlds no problems at all in
gasoline rationins or car pooling.
The slender 55-year-old rider has
become q familiar figure to motormen,
bus drivers, and early morning pc
destrians Is . result Of his daily trips
to his Job n the Department OF Agri-
culture, and It's . common occurrence
to see one OF them hail him with, "Well,
I see you're still at It," That remark
stems from the fact that many Of them
remember Mr.. Leighton from the time
he started in 1920.
Except for the fact that he finds it
dificult to get bicycle tires, six OF which
he wears out in year, II bits Of glass
and stray nails don't intervene to
shorten that time, Mr.. Leighton has
solved his wartime transportation prob
-em.
He's Been at 1t for "a Years
It all began "a years ago when trans
portation was very slow, and the inter-
walls between streetcars very long. He
became tired Of waiting, and decided he
could make much better time on his
bicycle. He has been doing 1t ever
since. However, his riding actually be-
gan when he was 8 years old, and
bought his first bicycle with almost the
first money he ever earned. Since then
he has worn out five bicycles, and over
100 tires Eighty-fiye thousand of the
100000 miles on his record have been
made just going to and from his job.
His rubber-tired steed of today has
only one special attachment, but to Mr..
Leighton 1t is very special. Over a year
ago q bomber pilot In England, ready
to take of on his nth bombing mission,
stopped in the post ONCE to mail q
headlight and taillight bicycle attach
ment to his friend, Mr.. Leighton. The
soldier was in doubt as to the amount
Of postage 50 he left the package, and
said that he would mail it the next
day when he returned.
The promise was never fulfilled, be-
cause the pilots plane was shot down.
He escaped, however, and three months
later, after a narrowing journey, he
succeeded in making his way back to his
own base. Inquiring about the pack
age he was told that an unknown friend
had paid the postage. and the lights
had already become that very special
attachment on Mr.. Leighton's bicycle.
The lights are powered by generator
attached by pulley to the front wheel
