(That was a long time ago, as a man measures time by the span of his personal life. It was a veryshort while ago, however, as man looks at history. It is a good and true thought that, in the 322 years since, that tiny band set out to carve a tiny niche for precarious living on a hostile shore, the descendents of those hardy men, and others who followed them across the sea, have made vastly .greater progress toward a civilization based on the Golden Rule than had been made in all the thousands of years of previous recorded history. ’ Three brief centuries ago, the principle of religious freedom was not accepted anywhere in the world, It was religious persecution that drove the Pilgrims to their perilous journey— and as soon as they were established in America, they persecuted those who differed with them theologicaly as ruthlessly as they themselves had been persecuted. The world‘isn’t perfect. Today the world wsithes in the horror of universal war. Yet from an American civilization built in three centuries have come to the world Freedom cf Religion. Freedom of Sneech. Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Political Eouality. From that civilization has come to the world the insziration of the Bill of Rights. The stupendous advanfement in the cause of human rights over-shadows ‘even our great “material advancement through invention ard indvustry.: It is an advancement that cannot be halted. In 1620. the ideal of.a great nation fighting without though of material conquest was foreign to human thought. Todey. the-American people sacrifice treasure and blood solely to seni their own priceless freedom and to make freedom sgcvre for men of good will throughout the world. — . The era that began on this continent at Plymouth Rock has been glorious beyond the dreams of the men and women who landed there. Despite the heavy clouds of present world calamity, the era of which this war is the beginning may flower to a glory beyond the work and fight today. THE UNCONOUERABLE In this first war year of 1942, apnroximately 3 000 000 American babies will have their birth dates --half a million more than were born in 1941, when an _ aall-ti;ne American birth record was set! eee The birth rate in war-clouded England is rising! The element of life seems the one unconquerable element in this mvsterious world. Even when>man himself abets} death, settine forth to kill with the deadliest weapons his mind can invent, life remains unconquerable. Even the tremendous blood-letting of World War I, when 8,500.000 men were killed in battle alone, and many millions died from _privation, halted but briefly the steady rise in the world’s ponulation. Two centuries ago, the new-born babe had a life expectancy of 33 years. By 1850, in América, the life axerage had reached 40 years. By 1900 it was 50 years. A baby born this year has an even chance of living to the age of 64 years! ~ Man's achievements in the conquest of disease, in sani tation, in surgery, in nutrition, in hygiene, have alway outstripped his achievements in the destructive sciences of selfdestruction through the implements of war. There is a death in America every 23 seconds. ~ OnEvery Front — . General Electric equipment is fighting with America’s land army.

Life remains the unconquerable. BEANS ARE FOOD FOR BATTLERS! Fewer “‘luxury”’ vegetables are going to be grown extensively from now on, according to the food program of Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, and more work and soil is to be spent on producing the tasty, sturdy, appetite-satisfying and old-fashioned vegetables men in general have always gone for. It's a war measure; but it happens that the things the food experts think the country needs are the things hungry. American men welcome on the table—and vice versa. On the list for increased production in California, for intance, are snap beans, lima beans, plain old beans, peas, carrets and spuds. Corn is thought well of, too.. Men who have wearily, for years, scraped sprinklings of parsley off” their steaks. and disconsolately pecked at watercress, egg~ plant, ‘roccoli and brussels sprouts, may see a great light toward gustatory reform; for the powers that be don’t hand _ those ‘articles of diet much applause. If beans. baked long and brown and savory, and corn, and souds, and peas, and onions you can smother a steak with, ave food for battlers, shoudn’t they be food of first and exclusive choice for the hard workers of post-war reconstruction? Strength will be needed then, too! Here seems a chnce for men who have long hated them to take a firm stand against parsley, eggplant, watercress and broccoli. The peace of the family dinner table must be won in this field, when the war is over! TEENKING OUT LOUD (Continued from Page One) e A-dime, out of every dollar we earn 1S OUR QUOTA ‘’ for VICTORY with U.S. WAR BONDS their production goals during 1943 would be. penalized by stiff deductions from their federal crop subsidies. As a consequence of these mounting irritations, farm leaders, during recent congressional and legislative committee hearings in California, ‘‘blew their tons’ and said some things about Washington officials which are wholly” unKEEP TUNED fit to be printed in the congvesTO THIS sional record. ~ “They charged that Washington ns ignored all their warnings of an . : a impending shortage of farm workWatch for Announcements of Events, Programs, Speakers ers before the last harvest. They charged that “‘enough vegetables to supply the world next year rotted last harvest time because of lack of pickers;’’ they charged that Washington was busy putting ceilings on prices for many months before any action was taken to put a ceiling on wages—an'd that as a consequence, farm labor was drained away by city industries. And they charged that many, of the present food shortages are ac-> tually food wastages, caused by bungling administration. STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE In Cooperation With California Newspapers California Radio Stations I “That's a fair sample of the peo5 ple’s temper in the farm belt— and unless something is done to uuange it, the farm revolt at the polls in 1944 will make the uprising in 1942 seem mild by comparison.’’ ?
