must meet it.
ing. Inthe opinion of foremost industrialists they need not
be concerned even at war’s end that they will be “unwanted”
economically, as in the depression years. “There is demand
enough in sight,’ declared shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser to
Washington State College students, “to keep every productive
force in America working to capacity for 25 years! And it took
a war to teach us our own tremendous production ability.”’
No, the world that lies ahead for the young men and
women now leaving school will not be a soft and easy one.
But it will be live, energetic and challenging. It will demand
leaders and it will demand men and women trained to think.
to study, to plan, to execute, to work with their hands. It will
pay premiums for work well done. And it will offer rewards
stil] for truth, for justice and for tolerance, as in years past
and those to come.
WAR’S PROPHECIES
Perverse mankind, seldom content with the present, and
often unwisely disdainful of the past, always has had an incorrigible curiosity about the future. Since the war began,
this human yearning to probe into the unknown, and to look
on the course of events before it has been run, has become a
world-wide phobia. From darkest Africa to New York’s now
dimmed-out Great White Way, fortune tellers ply their trade
as never before in our time. And from California's small
towns, where mothers long for word of their sons, to the
sophisticated night spots in our war-jammed cities, where soldiers and sailors and their girls seek few. hours of forced gayety, men and women of all ages and all stations pray for the
gift of prophecy. ;
Even the rulers of nations have not escaped the mania.
The jittery Nazi government, dipping into the future to find
its day of reckoning, comes out with an unqualified announcement that the invasion of Europe will begin on June 22, anniversary of the Franco-German armistice. In Washington,
D. C., Kilso K. Haan, American representative of Japaneseoccupied Korea, predicts a Japanese landing (or
landing) at Crescent City, and other points on the California
coastline, “before October.’’ And in San Francisco, Jay W.
Stevens, chief of the fire section of the Office of Civilian Defense, makes the forecast that California will be bombed on
July 4. :
Gypsy fortune tellers, Hindu crystal gazers, palm readers and those who find destiny in the fall of the cards, spiritualists, and astrologers—all are doing a land-office business,
_as_a troubled world seeks occult guidance. To only a few,
however, is given the gift of prophecy, although many lay
claim to it. But if we cannot know our future, we can have
much to do with shaping it. Today, more than ever before in
our lifetimes, we have it in our hands to write our own destiny—hby the sweat of our brows, by unceasing labor and selfsacrifice, and by. unswerving allegiance to the cause of freedom. In prayer, and in the quiet of the church, we can find
solace and new hope. In the labor our our hands, we can find)
deliverance—and the promise of a better tomorrow. That is
one prophecy we can rely on.

FLAG DAY—1943
In the midst of the bitter battle of Attu, when Jap machine gun and mortar fire made every unguarded movement
by our troops a flirtation with death, a big American Flag
suddenly appeared on a newly won height, far removed from
base of supplies. The Flag was brought there’by a soldier
. repeatedly risked his life to get it there; who spent five
hours, under constant fire of Jap snipers, climbing a mountain
and down through a treacherous canyon, blanketed with deep
lows, to carry the emblem of American freedom to a bit of
‘ited States soil just re-won from the enemy.
The troops who looked up at that Flag, as it was raised
“in Attu’s icy blasts, had fought for three days without food.
Many of them were suffering from frozen feet. Some of the
‘wounded were lying on stretchers, waiting to be carried back
to their hospital base. But there was.no complaint from that
little band of men that their standard bearer had brought the
ig, instead of packing in food or medical supplies. For that
, flying from a forlorn peak in fog-shrouded Attu, meant
meat and drink; even more than morphine to bring
pain. To those American boys who had just gone

pork, she’s fortunate because she’ll
find good point buys since most pork
cuts remain unchanged in point
values. Since there will be less beef
available for civilian consumption
this month than in the past two
months, points for beef have been
increased. So it’s a wise Mrs. America who'll study point charts and
find the many cugs of lamb, veal and
variety meats which have been given lower points values. In buying
these cuts most families will continue to get just about the same
amount of meat for their points as
in the last ration period. New savings in the cost of meat will be noticed by Mrs. America after June 21

LOSE FEMININTY
Women and clothes are synonymous. With that thought in mind, the
designers working for Uncle Sam set
about to create a uniform for members of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps. that would incorporate
smartness.and durability. Their success is evident in the expertly fitted
uniforms, the contrasting shoes, the
hand bag and gloves, all of style and
quality not. easily surpassed. In fact
the ensemble allottéd each WAAC
when she reports for duty would cost
a woman in civilian life well over
$2150.
The Army believes members of
their Women’s Corps chould appear
feminine first and foremost, therefor they encourage the moderate use
of lipstick, rouge, powder and nail
polish. Of course, not to be overdone. Hiardos are optional b,ut there
