Suppose, Just Suppose,
That Lidice Were In U.S.A.
Imagine reading the following government announcement in your Nugget:
“All men of Truckee have been shot. The women have
been deported to a concentration camp and the children sent
to appropriate centers of education. All buildings of the village
were leveled to the ground and the name of the village was
immediately abolished.” :
Those are the words of an official Nazi statement issued
a few days ago except that the town was named Lidice —a
quiet little community of Czecho-Slovakia near Prague.
In Lidice (pronounced Leed-eet-say) men and women
lived where their ancestors had lived for more than 600 years.
A Lidice son brought his bride to his parents’ home; his children were born in the same room where his grandfather first
saw light. Above the roofs of the town rose the spire of St.
Margaret’s Church, a symbol of community faith since the
church’s building in 1736.
’ In Lidice a farmer with earth sticking to his boots greeted
the coal-dusty miner who as a boy sat beside him in school.
On a warm day the tanning of the shoe renairmsn sounded
through an oren door like a faint echo of the blecksmith’s
hammering. A storekeeper going to the tailor shop paused on
Wilson Street—named for the American president—to gossip with a man carving wood before his front door. Children
laughed and played or were drawn to kitchens by the sweet
scents of the cakes their mothers baked. :
Life was not so easy after the German conquerors came.
The men had to do what the rulers ordered. Limits were set
on worship in the church and on schooling for the children.
The women didn't have such good things or so much to fix for
meals. But the people lived on, they worked, they loved, they
dreamed—oppression had been unon them in the past but
“Wilson” Street s--med a reminder that to a people of unconauered spirit, freedom at last returns.
. Then two men fatally wounded Reinhard Heydrich who.
as Navi “‘protector’’ of Czecho-Slovakia. earned the title of
**Haneman.”’ That happened on a highway which doesn't
even °o through Lidice. The Lidice people to!d the Nazi secret police that they didn't know anything about the two men.
But the Gestano acents learned that Lidice folk still
dreemed of freedom. They claimed thev found a radio, forbidden by German conquerors, arms and munitions. Several of
the Lidice young men had escaped to join United Nations
forces fighting the Germans. And the Nazis follow their
policy of bloody vengeance—a policy which has meant the
murder, in retaliation for the death of Heydrich, or more than
700 innocent men and women.
So when you read or hear the name of Lidice imagine
what it would mean if Truckee were crushed to the earth, its
name scratched from all records, the bodies of all its men
dumped into a common grave, their widows imprisoned, and
the doubly-orphaned children in the hands of vengeful and
merciless foreigners.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE
(By Carl Ross) :
Civilization stands aghast at the increasingly ferocious
atrocities and reprisals carried out by the Nazis and its Gestapo
throughout the occupied countries in its cruel imposition of
the “New Order.”’
The world has watched with chill horror the ruthless
slaying of the Poles; the mass execution of the Czecs in reprisal for the assassination of ““Hangman’”’ Heidrich.
But the crowning infamy of the leaders of : Nazi Germany in pronouncing death to all members of the Jewish
race in Europe if the “Hangman’s’’ executioners are not exnosed foreshadows a wholesale murder era such as would fale
into insignificance the already tragic list of these whose lives
have been ruthlessly snuffed out for no greater offense than
that they are non-Aryan—or do not accept abject slavery as
their nortion under the heel of the self-styled “‘super race.”
Ard the prayer of those who still cling to the faint but
fiercely burning spark of freedom-loving must be that some
way be shown them to bring home to their conquerors the
erormity of the score which must be settled when the day of
reckoning shal! dawn—as dawn it most certainly shall.
How can’ the monster Nazi be made to realize the enormity of his debt to civilization? No civilized code of ethics
will be given the slightest cognizance by him in his mad efforts at world mastery. So it is necessary. to impress upon his
-onscjousness. in letters of searing flame, the judgment that
awaits him! :
Let him know. by every radio beam that’ can be directed
toward the seat of his iniquity, that every victim of his insane
nogoms is being dutifully recorded—each name is being recorded; added to the long list of his unjustified victims.
And let him know that when his armies shall have been
submerged in utter defeat, and he and his cohorts shall come
crawling and whining for mercy—a mercy he has failed to
acknowledge for those who oppose him—let him and his cohorts. krow. and know NOW that this verdict awaits:
“MF, AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF_ HIS “ARYAN” GESTAPO BRETHREN SHALL BE LISTED, AND
FOR EACH OF HIS VICTIMS SHALL ONE OF HIS UNHOLY LEGION—BEGINNING WITH THE LEADER—
BE STOOD AGAINST THE STONE WALL AND -SUMMARILY SHOT!
Let the radio tell and re-tell this prophecy of the fate that
awaits the legions of Hitler! Let the wings of the Allied bombers carry the printed message by the million to be dropped
with every bomb load!
_ Let the Hun know that when the going gets too tough for
him he cannot, this time, cry “Kamarad” and gain surcease
and the probation in which to rebuild his dream of Aryan
supremacy.
Let every German know that Germany must pay—An

Real rubber’s rare and ‘very dear,

But we've a story full of cheer:
Here’s how our story goes.
Some senators who'd gathered
round,
Saw K. D. Smith arrive.
He joined them with a cheery
bound,. :
Full of elastic drive.
“Gents,’’ said he, “it now appears,
Our need for rubber’s growing.
The shortage justifies our fears.’’
The solons nodded, knowing.
“But Goodrich, whom I represent,
Has something good, yet new.
Our thing seems almost heavensent—
Ill demonstrate to you.”’
Each solon wore a skeptic look,
But Smith had seized a beaker;.
In almost less time than it took.
The senators grew meeker.
Smith poured acetic acid in,
With ‘‘Ameripol latex,’’ juice.
He squeezed the surplus liquid. thin,
Then jerked a handful loose.
Then he slapped it on the floor.
Ah—here’s the crucial test:
The new-made ball bounced up for
more;
Of substitutes—the best!
The solons timed the whole affair—
Ten seconds by the clock.
Each senator’s prepared to siwear,
The ball was full of sock.

At twenty cents per pound,
Will Goodrich ‘sell—price isn’t dear.
For a product full of bound.

Can tbake this great amount?

And make your rubber count!

I wonder what Schicklegruber thought of Flog Day. Unprintable
thoughts of course, and now he will remind us that wars are not won by
parades and patriotic speeches. We ate well aware of that fact, but the inspirational value of Flag Day will thrill the minds and hearts of men for
many a day to come.
i
The sounds of marching feet, blaring bands, cheering voices and lilting songs demonstrated fine unity of purpose and the firm determination
to fight on until the right to sing one’s own songs and wave one’s own
banner has been assured to all peoples the world over, irresipective of border, birth and creed.
: -This is indeed a great and splendid dream, universal liberty, but it is
the dream that smiles through the clouds of battle and leads the way.
You can’t fight such a dream Schiklegruber, you may conquer and
enslave the weak and defenseless for a time, but you cannot kill the dream
of liberty. It still leads where your Satanic ruthlessness has done iis
worst, for that is the way with dreams. Sometime it will blind you with its
divine radiance and when that day comes, the*victims of your wrath will
be avenged. g 2 :
