You Are The Red Cross

This is the heart of the people the
emblem of humanity the hand stretched
out in comfort to the homeless and the
hungry, the lonely and the troubled all over
the world today
Here come the children, without shoes.
who are hungry. Here come the destitute.
the people without shelter. Here come the
lonely and the cold without comfort. Here
come the men and women who are troubled
If you would seek them, look about you.
Hear them speak
It's lonely here in Germany. It's very cold.
We worry here in Germany about how It IS
at home the wives who may be i'll. the
child we haven't seen, the SWeethearts who
could be remembering = maybe not. But
there's a man here with us who can get in
touch. Straighten out the worry, kind of
trouble-Shooting guy who wears small red
cross in his cap. That man is you.
In the hospital the days take very long
time to go. The hours are all the same But
there's girl who comes through the wards
with magazines and books and cigarettes
and stops to talk She'll write letter for
YOU when your hands are hurt She'll read
a book or play a game. There's small red
cross pinned on her collar. That girl is you.
I came home from Tarawa, Saipan the
islands where we fought. was discharged.
And 1 was lonely and discouraged be-
wildered, without funds. But there was
someone here to talk to- who loaned me
money, told me where to 60 for help. On
his desk a small red cross stood. That man
was you.
The wind swept through our town one
night, leveling the buildings. 1t destroyed
our homes. That night was very cold, full
of the cries of the homeless and the hurt
But among us moved men and women pro-
viding shelter food and warmth. On their
uniforms a small red cross shone. They
were you.
We are the lonely, and the anxious, and
the lost. We are the cold and hungry people,
the children who have no shoes, the people
without shelter.
But everywhere among us is the sign of
hope i. stamped on sack of flour, a
crate of medicine or milk, worn on a uni
form, painted on a building fresh and red
1t is the emblem of comfort. 1t is the sign
of hope. 1t is YOU.

Pity The WerewoIves

The way things are going, 1t will only
be matter OF months before most Ameri-
cans will be feeling guilty for having fought
and defeated Germany.
This sense of guilt is the goal of a care
fully-conceived and widely-Supported propa-
ganda campaign to make us pity the Ger
mans. In some parts of the country, fund
raising drives are under way to rebuild the
German public buildings which our airmen
"ruthleSSly destroyed. Certain writers, GER
tain preachers, even certain Congressman
are expressing deep concern that the level
of nutrition III Germany today is only 1900
calories per person. They express this con-
Germ despite the fact that there are parts
of Europe recently liberated from German
conquest where the daily food ration is less
than 1000 calorieS per person. These propa-
gandiSts tell us that we fought war of pun
iShment; that in eliminating Hitler ibid we?)
GoebbelS, Goering 1--WE have not, yeti, and
a few others, the punishment was completed
and that now we should extend the hand of
mercy to the innocent" German population.
A level-headed American desires to be
neither Vindictive nor sucker. He knows
that the German will-to-aggression did not
die when few Nazi heads were Topped off
He knows that only by strict limitation of
German industry until such time as Ger
many has proved her regeneration, can the
German cause of war be eliminated. He
knows, above all, and with profound sense
of American sportsmanship, that it is an
evil and vicious policy that would treat
Germans with more consideration than
Frenchmen, Poles, Greeks, JugoSlavs, Nor
wegians, and all the other Europeans whom
Germany SO very nearly destroyed forever
Nobody should be allowed to go hungry
but it is a little strange that those Ameri-
cans who are the most fiercely determined
that Germans shall not be hungry show no
interest at all in the problem of keeping
the Germans from starting another war.

We Like The Sample

Some people like the United Nations
Organization just as it is. Others want 1t
improved as the years go by. Still others
think it is so feeble that they advocate turn
ing it into World Government without
delay.
But all of them will surely agree on this:
that we like the sample. The clashes be-
tween Bevin of Great Britain and ViShinsky
of the Soviet Union at the London meeting
were something new under the sun, and we
like it and want more.
There were the Foreign Ministers of two
of the great world powers arguing. and pull
ing no punches, right out in public, like a
couple of aldermen or United States Sen
atorsl Not only were all the little fellows
Belgium and Uruguay and Ethiopia-sit-
ting there listening to every word, but
through newspapers and the radio every
body was in on it. It was enough to make
a Richelieu or Metternich or Bismarck turn
over in his grave. They handled such mat
ters quite differently. With them it was all
secret meetings, confidential emissaries,
privately whispered threats or promises,
for centuries-up to the day the war started;
forged kilograms. That was the way it went
and, of course, that was how the wars
started.
The loud and open argument between
Bevin and ViShinsky is certainly not guar
antee that another war will never start, but
it is hopeful sign. At the start of every
war we have read about each side accusing
the other of double cross and probably
both of them were usually right But it is
not easy to manipulate double cross with
out fair amount of privacy; it is extremely
difficult to talk out of both sides of your
mouth when the whole human race is per-
mitted to hear everything you say.
The important thing about the argument
between Bevin and Vishinsky was not who
won it, nor even who was right, but the
size of the audience. They have started
something that should never be permitted
to stop.

Great Men Are Human

Someone has defined friend as person
all of whose faults you know, but whom you
like ANYWAY. No one expects perfection IN
a friend-it'S only in people whom we don't
know that we expect perfection. Let man
become leader among any peoples any
where-let his name be splashed across the
newspapers he must be perfect. If he
acts like human being and makes mistakes.
or even says things with which we don't
agree we have tendency to condemn him
completely.
BENJAMIN Franklin sagely observed OF the
founding Fathers of this country that when
YOU assemble a number of men who have
the advantage of their joint wisdom you
inevitably assemble with these men all their
preiudices, their passions and their errors
of opinion, their local interests and their
selfish views" This has been abundantly
clear in the first meetings of the United
Nations Organization. Too many Americans
have shaken their heads and said, "Why did
we ever hope it could work anyway" As
the UNO comes to the United States and It's
leaders continue to act like the human be-
ings they are, let us accept them, and take
their faults for granted-aS we do in our
friends. Selfish men in Philadelphia laid
the foundations of a new nation. Today S
selfish men, in this hour of ourgent need,
can Law the foundations of a new world.

program for National Sunday School Week,
April 8 to IA. Train up a child in the way
he should go; and when he is old, he will

In seeking the widest possible support for
asked the President of the United States
Sunday School Week, the Committee has
and the governors of each state to cooperate
in some appropriate m nner. Mayors
throughout the country will be asked to
pay tribute in 15-minute radio addresses.

templated. Chambers of Commerce will be
asked to display the National Sunday School

The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire
Girls assist. Editors, columnists and COM
mentators aid in the national movement,
while many corporations help create inter-
est through their radio programs. Ministers,
fraternal and service organizations and fea-
ture writers will seek to popularize this
worthy cause and urge parents to encourage
their children to attend Sunday School dur

While such an occasion is not a cure-all
for current disregard of Christian principles,

step in the direction of tolerance and good

every individual accept his responsibility
for making the future in which we must
live, better instead of worse. Sunday School

The Human Cycle

We have heard a lot recently about foreign
trade and balance of exports and imports
If this means buying British cars here in
stead of our own, which are non-existent
and sending our radios abroad while they
are impossible to get at HONEYWELL, yes, we
see what they mean by this game of eco
nomic legerdemain.
Certainly the emphasis today is towards
concentrating on the exceptional, rather
than the essential. Even this might be al
right, if it weren't for those obvious shifts
in human affairs which, soon enough, will
be hanging out the old slogans: Buy

TEACHERS PAY

Until recently the inadequacy of
teachers pay has been given little
publicity. Not many citizens real
ize that the highly trained people
to whom they entruSt their chill
dren are among the financially for

Very few college trained profess
Sional people receive so low re-
turn from their educational prepa-
ration as do the teachers in our
public schools. The teacher pro-
gram of education is long and
costly. Most teachers spent at least
$500 during their four years III
college. This, however, does not
complete their education. In order
t. keep pace with rapidly changing
trends and TO occupy a position
with high professional standards, it
is necessary for The teacher to get

not only causing discomfort, but
also a large turnover in the profess

Al Jones Moves Up

With twenty-one years of expert
ence and training in the public utili-
ties field, Albert E. Jones $50 much
better known as AID has just been
named a vice president of the Tide
Water Power Company, with which he
has been associated since 1887.
Born in Boston and completing his
high school education there, Mr.. Jones
attended and graduated from the Uni
versity of Maine. After service with
the New Bedford Gas and Edison
Electric Company, he came south and
was employed by the South Carolina
Electric and Gas Company at Colum-
bia. From there he came to Whining
ton as Tide Water business manager,
from which post he advanced to gen.
eral manager-and now to a vice-presi-
dency.
So much for his business career.
Personally, he is a genial companion,
clear thinker, and, as his record
shows, efficient. He is to be congratu-
lated that Tide Water has placed in
|creasing value on his services, but most
of all the company is to be congratu-
lated upon having him in it's official
family.
