Right now. 40 per cent of the nation’s production is go“ ing for war. A few months hence. the war percentage will-rise to 60. Yet. it might be reasoned, if people’can still buy a maiority of the things they could buy a year ago—radios, electric shavers and clocks, for example—are matters sure to grow so tough if civilian goods production is:cut another 20 per cent? Matters will be tough—and how! The deceiving circumstance is that Americans have been buying luxuries from national shelves that were filled to overflowing back in 1941 and the very early manths of this year. Those shelves are running low. They aren't being replenished today — and when they become bare next year, the traditional standard of living will hit the toboggan. If the washing machine breaks down then, the housewife will have but one recourse, wash-board—if she has a wash-board! The facts are inexor. able! Yet nsychological preparedness for the change isn’t the essertial thing. after all. Protection of the basic standard for all American living—the standard of life as a free, sovereign community of 130,000,000 men, women and children under the Stars and Stripes—is all that is highly important now. To safeguard that standard for living, the American people will stand the gaff of privation, however tough. Everything sacrificed for victory may be rebuilt and regained after the war. Meanwhile—let the gadgets go! eeigtipeenenee weir nimi seen ONE YEAR OF WAR On Monday of next week will fall the first anniversary of a black day in American history—the attack on Pearl Harbor, On Tuesday, the United States will have been, officially at war one year.“on, in many respects. Thousands of deaths, men lost as prisoners, anxieties, griefs, military reverses, civilian sacrifices—all are inevitable in every year of every war. And victory seems far ahead at this time. A comparison of America’s position now, however, with her position at the end of the first year of the World War, shows that we are vastly better off now than we were then. At the: year’s end, in 1918, Russia had collapsed, Germany had concentrated all forces in the west, the tremendous _ Battle of the Somme, with Europe's fate in the balance. was ‘raging. Now, Germany has failed to escape the fate of fighting on two fronts. Russia has not failed. In 1918 American artillery units were obliged to borrow artillery from the French—so inadequate was our own production! Now. America is not only fully supplying her own new army with the best weapons of every type, but is producing and delivering vast armaments to her allies. America has far more troops under arms than in April. 1918—and they are better trained, more thoroughly seasoned. Hundreds of thousands of them have been in _ trainine longer than the entire period of our participation in the first World War. * Then,.in our inexperience and experimental haste, we built planes unfit to fly—built ships, in hundreds of instances, ‘so. unseaworthy that they never left port, and rotted in harbors until sold for junk. . Now, because industrial. and military brains profited by the lessons of '17-'18, America has built soundly as well as swiftly, and is on the way to creation, in the next year, of the finest fighting force in history, backed by a mighty industrial force of machines and workers. What this;nation has accomplished in one year of war is _ cause for confidence that America shall deyelop power to ~ achieve final victory. ' THE PRISONER’S SONG An official of the Government Requirements Division of the War Production Board visited San Quentin prison re‘mates stood straight and proud—for the first time ‘since they had entered prison—while a representative of the United States government looked upon the work of their hands and machines and found it good. . . When men of San Quentin were first asked by the warif any wished to volunteer for special work within the walls for the war effort, more men than could be used stepped forward. ~ Today more than 60 per cent of the 4600 men on parole in California are aiding in the war through service in the Army, war industry, the merchnt marine, agriculture construction. a . The material contribution of these men, with the manywer shortage acute, is considerable. Also of great worth, to nselves and to society, is the spiritual lift it must give them : active parts in the struggle of their native land for surLove of country is one of the deepest and strongest feelto the old} A year of war is never other than tragic to look back up-1. cently to inspect the prison’s war industries.

It is good that a man may do service to the cause of his country’s freedom while he does penance to regain his own. ‘“The Star Spangled Banner’’ is the song of songs in the hearts of many men in prison cells. istmas 1942.. share it ! : 4 day season.

Return to home will have to wait until Victory and Peace have been attained. There is a boy who will miss Christmas at Aunt Martha's up on the coast of Maine. There is a boy with a southern drawl who will miss-old Liza’s cooking. There is a ranch boy from Wyoming who will miss his Sis, home from college for the brief vacation. There are thousands of boys such as these—away from home, each one eager to meet home folks, talk to someone who reminds him of Dad or Mother or Uncle Hal or Aunt Cassie.
