JUST WONDERIN’ . wonder as again we greet The Holy Night, the joyous Day, And linger for a while on paths Where happy children lead the way,. If in the kingdom of the home Surrounded by its Yuletide glee, We may envision that fair time When peace shall rule by land and sea. I wonder if at this season we may hail the advent of the ‘Christmas Spirit with much more assurance than we did when last he came to walk among us. Of course the skies are still cloud shadowed, but the light is shining through—light.that falls upon the long, rugged road which lies ahead and point: the way to final victory over the powers and principalities of evil that would, if they could, extinguish its beams forever. Last year, the Christmas Spirit came to find us in a state of confused uncertainty. We had just experienced the tragedy of Pearl. Harbor and being in ignorance of the extent of the disaster, anxiety, even fear became for a time prevalent. Yuletide festivities seemed incongrously out of armony with out thoughts and emotions. Poor old Christmas 41! His was not a very hilarious welcome. Still we did the best we ‘could under the circumstances. . hope we may never meet another in so unresponsive a mood, Yes, we welcome Yuletide-42 with hearts courageous. No longer confused or dismayed, yet conscious of the stupend-' ous tasks that confront us, we are advancing with confidence . and faith in ourselves and in that future of peace for which we strive. : ~” “Christmas is one of the time honored institutions which are eminently worth fighting for. It typifies our ° idealized concept of life and life’s harmonious relationships. “Life may be beautiful,’ we say in wistful tones, “life is beautiful,’’ the Christmas Spirit cries, “come with me and you will see.” Home with all its fond companionships, friends and loved ones gathered together in festive mood the care free havpi ness of little children, gay laughter, undimmed lights, chiming bells, the joy of song, All these and much more we find at this season of the year. and we are reminded that the simple joys of life are best and that human hearts are warm and tender when the light of peace and fellowship shine upon them and the Christmas Spirit leads the way. We know that the true values f life will be preserved, we know that the ultimate victory will be ours and that peace will bless the world anity. t Christmas is coming again! Its spirit is lingering near, Over life’s tumult and strife, Its clarion voices we hear. “Onward, press onward’, it cries. With banners of courage unfurled, Till we stand in the light of that day When peace shall encompass the world. —A. MERRIAM CONNER. THE DOGS OF WAR Recently the U.S. Army graduated the first class at a special training post in Virginia. The class included 284 dogs, 38 soldiers and 10 sailors. The animals were schooled intensively for specialized duty as sentries at Army, Navy and Coast Guard installations. The men were trained to command, and work with the dogs, since the ‘“‘cause’’ to which the dim, human masters it knows. From the most ancient times men have used dogs in war. At one period they were trained for combat in the field. And today, as well as in the days when men fought with © spears and battle-axes, the dog retains his high place as guard and sentry. The Army has found that the extraordinary keenness of a dog’s senses of hearing and smell multiply the effectiveness of a human sentry on guard at night.'One man and one dog mav patrol an area as effectively as several men depending solely upon their own ability to detect the presence of an enemy. In courage, loyalty, obedience and readiness to 'make the supreme sacrifice of his life, the dog’ has no superior. “service that a second class of 500 animals.and 200 men is in training—and a new training center for dogs has been established in California at San Mateo, ‘with still another scheduled at Fort ‘Robinson, Nebraska. Se It seéms likely that, when the boys come home and march in victory parades, many a soldier will feel that the four-footed comrade who walked at his side on guard duty:through the black nights should be marching with him on parade. WELL, WHY NOT? Regulating labor unions to bring them in line with the public interest, convenience and necessity, and to restore to all workers in California their inherent rights which are in and usher in an era-of justice and right living and true hum-/ noble soul of a dog will attach itself must be identified with So successful have the Virginia schodl dogs proven inj ceniiniinteetnciaiaas eclipse under the present tie-up of political bureaucracy and coercive closed shop unionism, is the big job women of the Pacific has undertaken. This. organization of consumers and workers, largest in the west, will sponsor legislation to that desirable end. Failing to get such a law through the legislature to convene in January, women of the Pacific will go direct to the people with an initiative measure. Under the present set-up the heads of unions have a power over consumers, workers, and employers—even’ over government itself—that is exercised arbitrarily and without restraint; and which’ is a continuing threat to industrial and individual freedom. In the past it became necessary, as a matter of protection of the public, to regulate the huge aggregations of capital. Unions collectively now have become another huge aggregation of capital— ‘big business:”’ » Banks, insurance companiés, railroads, public utilities, and corporations generally as units of business, finance, commerce and industry, were brought under state and _ federal regulation. Why not labor unions, also. : The basis of effective regulation is to require all labor organizations to incorporate and to hold to stfict accountability all union officials fo whatevr is done in the name of the union. Power without responsibility is anarchy.
