The man who fails to support the war, may cheat in food or gas rationing, he may go on strike mhile employed in war industries or war supporting industries, or fhe may try with might and main to keep his sons out of the armed forces, or, if of military age, attempt to shirk service in fuiform. The slackers and the_ shirkers make a considerable proportion of the population, it is true, but if mo more than one sixth or one seventh of the population belongs ‘in that catagory, the other 110,$00,000 million are singularly united. In fact no such degree of unanimity has been attained for many a long year, and we believe the country is more harmonius in fighting this war than it has been in any of its past wars. ‘We think that if there are today 20,000,000 slackers and shirkers, when the life and the future othis country is at stake, is just 20,000,000 too many, but having observed.. frail human nature shrinking from the rugged test of war for more than half a century, one comes to the conclusion that the percentages of strikers, as compared with those who do not strike in vital industries, the percentage of civilians who refuse to sacrifice one iota of their comfort while our boys are enduring awful hardships on the battle fronts, and the percentage of citizens who refuse to do their part on the home front, is unusually small. ‘We decry as do all patriotic and thinking citizens, the tendency of politicians and demagogues, often age of the war stresses under which the couutry labors, to project a ,sotial. and economic system designed to see us through the terrlific struggle safely, into men, not slackers, not ghirkers, but social predators, who seek office and power under the banner of lheralism, are more to he éeorned than the man who leaves his job in a war factory.

A new road has been built from Indian Valley on the North Yuba River into the stand of virgin timber, which is being cut under direction of the forest officials.

A group of half a dozen children were playing near a pool not far from where the parents were gathered. From the report of his playmates Jay slipped from a bridge and fell into the stream. The children ran for help and a resident doctor, a woman, Dr. Mabel Williams Ingersoll of Berkeley, gave artificial resPiration.

But let us not be so blind as to see that the present trend of the aldmingstration in Washineton is to perpetuate itself by placing all the pressure groups, giving some of them special privileges, euch as the agricultural. industry and labor organization. In return for these grants, the government constantly demands increase in its power and the power of its bureaus.

His citation said he rescued a companion whose rifle had been damaged, killmg 10 of the enemy. Then he and another rifleman stood off repeated attack for hours and finally charged and captured the remaining Germans. These Japanese American douwghthey make excellent teachers.

Rub plenty of salt on the flesh side of the skin; be sure that you do not miss any of the folds or edges of the skin. Wither dry the skin in a cool shady place or roll it up with plenty of salt.
