The French railroad officials pro-
vided the battalion with flood lights
thus enabling them to work on a
24-hour shift. They had to face an
arduous task for the perpetual
rains had threatened to rob them of
the record they were trying to es-
tablish. Coupled with this there was
a sea of mud which added to their
difficulties.
Nevertheless, the job was COM
pleted as arranged much to the as
tonishment of the British and
French officials who said that it
was impossible of accomplishment.
In order to demonstrate the resis-
tance of the bridge, two engines,
weighing 200 tons each, were
coupled together and made a run
across which was a distinct success.
1t was great achievement for the
second battalion and high military
and civil dignitaries including
Americans, French and British,
gathered to pay them homage.

1000 Sailors, Aiding Mail Rush
See Chicago Democracy

CHICAGO, Jan. 2-(ANP)-|
More than 1000 white sailors from
nearby Great Lakes Navy Train
ing Station, whose homes are in the
small towns, villages and hamlets
of the southern part of the United
States, gained object lessons toward
more practical democracy than is
evident in their respective home
communities when they were called
in recently to aid with the large vol
ume of Christmas mail handled
here. They saw Negro civilians by
the hundreds, both men and women,
engaged in practically every func-
tion of the mail service, scenes that
are not duplicated in the south.
Several Of the young white men
stated that the sight of colored men
and women integrated into the
more than $4,000 regular and tenn
porary employees of the Chicago pos
tai service was highly educational
and that it demonstrated what
cities in the south might do toward
practicing genuine democracy. In
talking with the sailors regular
Negro postal employees learned that
a large number of the young men
were from Florida, Mississippi,
Kentucky, Louisiana, and other
states in the deep south.

Ratification Extended
To All Glasses

First, it must be remembered that
since the Nazis were in full power
for about u years and the real in
doctrination of the Germany youth
began at about the age of II, there
might be presumed to remain a
group of middle-aged Germans who
escaped the full blight Of Nazi in
doctrination. Normally they would
be the ones most likely to offer col
%laboration with the American or
other officials and most amenable
to an acceptance Of democratic
methods and beliefs.
Of course, there are some such.
On the other hand, although this
group who by age or inclina-
ton were less favorable to Nazif-
cation, the majority have not
escaped the effects of Nazi rule.
These men were brought up in a
more or less normal 10th century
atmosphere, regimented to some ex-
tent, it is true and with the long
tradition of German militarism be-
hind them. but at root a kindly,
businesslike, churchgoing folk whose
evils were environmental and not
necessarily hereditary as they
proved when they left home and set
tied on our shores.
They are the ones in Germany
whom we blame for failing to arise
and overthrow the Hitler regime, for
accepting it and its inhumanities.
We find them now, according to
most of the persons who have visit
ed Germany, befuddled, submissive,
yet resentful, but honestly reject
ing all personal, individual RESPONSE
bility for war guilt Of Germany and
the atrocities of the Nazis. For the
most part they have proved about
as valuable in assisting in the
governing of their country as a
large piece Of slightly rancid dough.

WHAT DO YOU Do?
Nv Ruth TAYLOR

Don't YOU dislike people who always say things
in a positive tone? | know one person who pre1aces
most remarks with a definite There isn't a doubt
about il" Frankly, even when L agree with her, ma
an argument on the other side.
There's danger in being too definite. Ii you say
'0This-or else" the chances are that 1t Will be or
else" The word danger you know, is derived from
dominarium, the Latin word for domination.
I don't mean you must appease those to whom
YOU speak. There's a lot of difference between appeas-
ing and compromising or even concedlng. Only those
who are willing to live in complete isolation, to with
draw from the wrld can avoid doing one OF the three.
To appease is to p~lacate, or to pacify. To compro-
mise is to adjust or settle by mutual concessions, or
by a partial surrender of claims, purposes or prlncl-
pies. To concede is to allow as a right, to assent or
acuuiesce in the propriety or truth of, to admit.
Never a~ppease-when appeasement means CIV
ing up a principle-but do appease when 1t is a ques-
ton of speaking fairly and calmly. A soft answer
turneth away wrath, and a pleasant way of speaking
avertS antagonism.
Compromise only on material things. And then
do not compromise with another PERSONS rights or
freedoms. Be willing t give up advantages but nego-
tate from strength not weakness, and never at other
peoples expense.
Concede-yes-when concessions are in order. Al
ways be willing to concede the rights of other people
to be the same as your own. But do not concede your
own ideas of right nor your own rights.
Admiral Hart is quted as the author of a prayer
which sums it all up. Dear God, give us strength
to accept with serenity the things that cannot be
changed. Give US courage to change the things that
can and should be changed. And give US wisdom to
distinguish one from the other"
All of this is on a personal basis, it is t true, but it
is only as we learn first to apply rules OF conduct to
ourselves can they form the basis Of rules OF conduct
for a group or a nation.
If we, as individuals, learn to act toward our fel-
low men in the proper spirit, then can we as peoples
enter into the full exercise of freedom which is the
right of all men.

HOW WELL a man lives is a

1t depends upon the national in

like family income, national in

and it is not always divided the
same way. National income is
the grand total of what everybody
in the nation earns. -

national income figures pretty
well, year by year. Already we
