 THEIRS IS A SHINING HOUR
 The return of peace has brought its shower of joys to all in all ranks. But is evident the smiling est groups comprise those bright eyed lasses who are now going to dances and parties again. Amid the pain and the anguish of the long war, the hardshipS and sorrows of the young mothers, and wives and parents were accentuated, but little thought was ever given to the lone ly young woman who worked long hours, invested their money in war bonds, and went home to write let ters evenings without end.
 In local war factory, many a pretty girl with heavy heart, told us confidentally. Do you know I'm 9 and I've never been to 8 formal?", ~or "lf the future doesn't hold any more than the present, life. won't be worth living" Theirs was sacrifice, too. It appeared in- significant in contrast to the ar rival of black-bordered telegramS and fathers being taken away from their children. But it was there and it was real. t.-f
 Today you see these girls, pretty as a picture in floor-length gowns, with their handsome escorts at dine -and dance spots around town, or in casual attire bound for 8 ride on Sunday afternoons, or go- ing to the movies. They smile per- petually and their feet hardly touch the ground.
 It is a pleasant sight to view. And perhaps others can make their shining hour a brighter one by re- training from criticism because the neighbours daughter does not arrive at her door before midnight or has three boy friends.
 HERE AND THERE: Women'S clubs in this city, it is gratifying to note, are lending their full support to the food conservation program by requesting that each member bring a canned food product to meetings, socials, and other events .. Others are foregoing those de- licious pastries at dessert bridges Ladies who have tendency toward avoirdupois, though admittedly sharing in the sacrifice, are more than willing to forego those calory- heavy sweets. In the mornings mail, comes worthwhile tip on how to preserve those precious n.y. Ions. Long wear is assured, 1t says if stockings are washed in solu- tion of mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse in clear water of the same temperature, and place on towel to dry, never, never over dir ect heat.

The League of Women Voters is to be commended, we think, for in- cluding in their national platform the protection of minority groups against discrimination. Further more, at their national convention held early this month in Kansas City, Mo, representatives from all parts of the nation agreed that future conventions of the league would not be held in any section of the United States which adheres to such discrimination. If Am erica is to be leader in building world unity and world peace, it would be wide and a long step for ward should other organizations join the League of Women Voters in it's attempt to annihilate race discrimination for all time.
 Though the war cast glaring light on the hideous practices that ex- isted in our own iberty-loving Ann erica in discriminating against var ious groups, the. serpent. though slightly weakenediS again raising it's ugly head. Let us not believe that the powerful unity which sprung into being after Pearl Har- bor, was merely born of self-preser- vation. If SO, the war drums will again be sounded, and in this atomic age, perhaps for the last time. ..-.
 Lincoln said nation divided against itself cannot stand. We have, through bitter struggle and sacrifice recently learned 8 world so divided also falls in ruins
 Enmity, discord, and hatred, which make war, find their roots in the hearts of men, spread to the com munity, are absorbed by the na- tion, and either go down to de- feat or achieve victory upon the battleflelds of the world. Hence 1t would seem the. most imperative ot all responsibilities in the nebulous pattern of making world peace is for every individual and every or ganization in the community tc lend its full efforts toward eradl- eating the discrimination which ex- ists against minoritieS, and stamp ing out every tendency which vital izes its vicious forces.
