FOREFATHERS’ DAY
On December 21, 1620, the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
ock.
(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.

But a baby is born every 14 seconds!
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!
