ERNIE PYLE For the second time in the space of one short week of war, a great American fell, a casualty to his war job, when Jap bullets killed Ernie Pyle on Ie, near Okinawa. : Franklin Roosevelt for whose. untimely passing the civilized world still wears its mourning, would have been the first to bow his head in grief at the death of Ernie Pyle, the unassuming little man who followed the front lines to record in his aimple stories the doings of American sons in battle. Ernie was-a hero to the troops he lived with, shared K rations with and wrote home about. He went where the fighting men went, and though he admitted the sound of the-big guns made him sick inside, he always pushed on if there were men ahead, for those@were the men be glorified in his stories. The muddy, dirty and often bloody GI was the boy Ernie Pyle heroized. The signed column printed in many papers alongside the news of his own death drew a homely yet heartstirring story of the picture of the boys in the Okinawa action. How they lived, in shallow foxholés, on a cold and windy hill. How they dined, on mouldy K rattwns, dated 1942. What they talked about between supper and blackout, when the war would end, what the home front thinks about it all, little whimsical jokes on themselves and each other. : Families of service men in the areas Ernie Pyle visited on both war fronts watched his daily column earnestly for news of their loved ones, eager to learn something of the conditions under which they lived and fought. Ernie was a link —a strong, dependable link—between the men at the front and home. He will be missed as keenly here as in the war camps where he was loved greatly for his kindliness and simplicity and respected deeply for his honest understanding of the life of a fighting man.—Contributed. . MILITARY SUICIDE It is obvious in the Pacific that the Japanese regard human life as far more expendable than bullets and implements of war. Jap officers throw the lives of their men away by the thousands, uselessly, when cornered. Operating under suicide orders, the Kamikaze Corps in the air daily sends its fighter planes and pilots crashing _ towards American carrier decks, transports and munition ships. Sometimes they hit and sometimes they don’t. But the pilot always comes out the same—dead. His banzai brothers on the » ground daily charge by companies into American machine_ gums, anticipating death, national honor and one-way tickets * to heaven, according to’ their teaching. Of the first, at least, they can be sure. According to figures announced in Washington, at least 865,000 Japanese have died for Hirohito since Pearl Harbor, the total falling only a little short of that for all American casualties including killed, wounded, prisoners and missing in all theatres of action. The Japanese figures do not include the hundreds of thousands slain-on the China mainland. American fighting men thoroughly approve the Japanese theory that the lives'‘of Nip soldiers are cheaper than war machinery, and they are helping to sustain the rhilosophy by ob_ liging those who insist on dying for the emperor. The more of the enemy that hurl themselves to useless death in banzai charges and kamikaze power dives, the sooner the war will end. Such military suicide can lead only to final disaster and defeat for the enemy.—Contributed. : JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder if for this your sunlit valleys smile And if for this ‘your forest monarchs grow, And great Sierras ranges of delight, Point to the stars their pinnacles of snow. Was it for this your magic shores were made, In spring’s bright blossom time towait, While.the proud city of Saint Francis meets the hour Of world decisions by the Golden’ Gate?’ I wonder if, in this strange universe, there is a geni who. shapes the plans of men and forms the pattern ,of human events. with an eye to the eternal fitness of things. There are times—but no, we no longer melieve in seni: we have learned to ascribe perfection of planning to the intelligent hearts The selection of San Francisco as the setting. for the-most important of all recorded conferences, was indeed a happy one and testifies to the acumen of those who had the matter in charge, for in all the world, no more suitable place could have been found. : San Francisco, beautiful for situation, named for the gentle saint, who loved his fellow men and all other * living creatures as well, San Francisco, beloved of all the world, may you e nkbown henceforth as—the city of peace. We were speaking a few evenings ago of the spirit of seventy six and of the stirring events which formed and brought it to maturity. The historic ride of Paul Revere, Lexington, Concorn and after that the full fury of the revolution. This was the spirit of seventy six on the eastern seaboard, what a contrast to the spirit of seventy six as demonstrated in Callifornia by the sun down sea. . : : In seventy six, the Franciscan pardes were rejoicing in the fact that five of the California missions had been completed. From her seven bare, brown hills, San Francisco that was to be, had watched as the little ship, San Carlos — slipped through the Golden Gate to cast anchor in the wide blue bay. The site for the presidio had been chosen, the brown Franciscans had set up a cross and begun the building of Mission Dolores. Quietly, unostentatiously, with prayer, songs and the ringing of swéet toned bells, the City of Saint Francis had her humble beginning. Delegates to the security conference, come to Chlifornia with a great dream and a world hope in their hearts, and they could some to a no more suitable place; for California herself, was a dream come true. Hers is a stqry of glowing romance, seldom darkened by the pain and destruction of armed strife, and the great modern city by the Golden Gate, will take the delegates to her hospitable heart and provide the atmosphere and inspiration for the peaceful solution of vexing problems and the setting up of machinery for the preservation of that quality of peace, which she has so long enjoyed.—A.

Miss Black urges farmers to salvake as much waste fat as possible at butchering time. Although red points are not given for “killing fat’’, as is the case with used kitchen fats, it can be sold at the going market prices. Stepped up military demands make it essential that every possible Pound of fat, either kitchen or the butchering be salvaged. In addition to military uses, fats collected dur-} ing this drive, also help make many items used on the farm. An. yng these are insecticides, fungicides, synthetie rubber for truck and tractor tir-. es, protective coatings, lubricants, animal feeds, and many others.
