National Observance
Bible Week is an annual Nation
al observance, sponsored by the
Laymen's National Committee, an
organization which is dedicated to
the proposition that America was
founded on Mans consciousness of
God, Mans daily labor and the
fruits therefrom." Rear Admiral
Reginal R. Belknap, chairman of
National Bible Week, said in his
message to the citizens of this
country: "If we are to preserve
what we believe is the essence of
civilization, to regain and hold the
full measure of sacred liberties and
maintain the dignity of man, we
must encourage, aid and abet a
more sober realization of the indis-
pensable influence of the Word of
God in our everyday life Admir-
al Belknap concluded: For his
own sake, his family, community,
State and the Nation, National
Bible Week merits the support of
every American who, irrespective
of class, creed or color, loves liber-
ty and would do his full part under
God" Miss Florence Lurty is
chairman of the local observance.

NEW INSURANCE PLAN

Wilson To Insure the Contents of
Freezers
A spoilage insurance plan, an
this week by Wilson Re-
Inc, will enable owners
of Wilson Home and Farm Freez-
ers to obtain protection policy
covering the contents of their
freezers. The policy, made avail
able by the ix-Connecticut
Group of Insurance Companies,
covers foodstuffs contained in
freezers which are installed in res
licences. The policy insures the
contents against spoilage caused
by outside power failure or me-
chanical breakdown of the food
freezer unit. "While under normal
there should be lit
tie, if any, food loss resulting from
failure" stated A. A.
Davis, Vice President in charge of
sales, 'there always remains the
of power failure due to
storms, hurricanes, floods and SIM
liar catastrophes." The insurance
provides coverage for optional per-
iods of either one year, three years.
or five years from the date of pur-
chase of the food freezer.

Matter OF Fact
Rv Joseph And Stewart Alsop

Ihas hoped would not recur. The
worst of it is that this echo is no,
inaccurate.
Conceivably, to be sure, the
crisis may be over before these
words are printed. 1t is possible
that in the present fighting in
Yanina, the Greek army may
permanently break the Interna-
tional brigade's strength. 1t is also
possible that the dubious Greek
Government may have exaggerat-
ed a mere reconnaissance into q
major assau-. on their border.
But whatever the outcome, the
| Greek crisis has already had one
critically important result in Wash
lngton. It has brought into the open
for the first time, serious dis
cussion among high officials of the
use of force.
The question debated has been
whether the United States will ac-
cept in Greece a reverse rather
worse than the British suffered
at Munich. or will employ its full
powers, including force if need be-
to prevent this reverse.
AS to the nature Of the Greek
situation itself, it is relatively
sin.ole. The Communicated Greek
guerrillas have long been nourlsh-
ed, succored and directed from
across the border. Their S has
been in the territories of the Soviet
Unions Balkan puppets, Jugo-
slavia, Albania and Bulgaria. The
guerrilla movement by itself, how
ever, has been too weak to realize
the ultimate goal of the Kremlln-
the capture of Greece as a whole.
Reinforcements therefore began to
be assembled some time ago, IN
The form of an International bril-
gade recruited among the Com
munist parties Of Europe on the
pattern of the International bri-
gade in Spain. AS was first re-
vealed in this space rather recent
ly, the brigade has gathered along
the borders of the three Balkan
