THE WORD

The countless joys that ever flow from Him
Today, whatever may annoy
The word for me is Joy, just simple JOY;
The Joy of life;
The JOY of children and of wife;
The JOY of bright blue skies;
The joy of rain; the glad surprise
Of twinklng stars that shine at night;
The JOY of winged things upon their fight;
The Joy of MONDAY and the tried
True joyousness of eventide;
The joy of labor and of mirth;
The joy of air, and sea and earth
The countless joys that ever flow from Him
Whose vast benefcence doth dim
The lustrous light Of day,
The lavish gifts divine upon our way,
Whate'er there be of Sorrow
I'll put off till tomorrow
And when Tomorrow comes, why then
Twill be Today and Joy again!

LIEUT.. GILBERT has now
ha his case at least temporarily
decided by the still domineering
Dixiecrat element of the Army.
There were no colored Ameri-
cans either on the case defense
or the jury. Here we have a sick
WArld officer who, by
medical testimony, was suffering
from Korea combat exhaustion,
being 10 days in combat without
relief. And for trying to save
his platoon further casualties, he
is punished.
THE BRITISH troops in Korea
could fall back, save themselves
and regroup. So could the Turks
and the South Koreans and many
white units of the American
Army and Marines. That is a
matter Of record. Nobody tried
to cruelty these brave men who
practiced sensible strategy. So
why are we now Singing OUT a

bert is not a general. But he
tried to save and deploy the IL
survivors of one platoon" for
which he is now punished. Lieut..
Gilbert had been given official
order to retreat and deploy. 4
Keep this point in mind. A pride
full paleface officer then ordered
Gilbert to throw the co1ored
troops into the FIRE. He refused.
THE U. S. MARINES, one of
the finest fighting units of our
Armed Forces have fought nobly
on Korean offensive action. But
the officers and men have shown
us there is no disgrace in stra-
tegic retreat. There is absolutely
no sense in a needless sacrifice
of American boys, regardless of
race. That is what Lieut.. Gill
bert had the courage to tell his

the GUARDIAN rallies to his

Anchorage Doctor Finds Remedy for Eye MaladY

WASHINGTON-Cortisone, fa- nous arthritis remedy, promises to control the major eye disease in the native populations of the Arctic and to prevent the blind ness it causes.
 Cases in which this hormone drug brought dramatic recoveries in 24 to 48 hours, instead of ten days to three weeks or longer, were reported by Dr. Milo H. Fritz of Anchorage, and Dr. Phil lips Thygeson of San Jose, Calf.
 The eye disease is called phlyc- tenular karatoconjunctivitis. Lit tie blister-like bumps attack the lining of the eyeball and lids and scar the cornea. Eyesight is inn paired by the scars and in some cases is lost entirely.
