Which provoked, this comment from. Senator Barkley,
the Democratic majority in the Senate:
it piece of . . . crust (estimated additional revenue
A 000,000) constitutes a sum large enough to pay twoof expenses of the mustering out pay for the armed

the president himself recommended and signed. To repiece of inedible crust is the same as if a starv-.

ator Barkley might have added that congress has propr mt's spending branch of the government with
us-size “loaf.of bread’ in previous tax laws. As
xpayers of the United States will pay in federal

‘ the world, free of char
{
Few Yanks detailed to the South Pacific will return with
exactly the same pre-war taste for either the locale or the ladies of those islands. In their atoll-hopping exploits, their first
version of the golden sands and tropical verdure too often has
been a frowsy one of bomb-pocked terrain and blackened
palm stumps. Too often has the fictional flower-decked’ sarong. girl materialized anywhere near the bases, though her
fat and underslung sisters show up at all the native gatherUndermined, too, for some time to come, are the ferocious head-hunter sequences of the spine chillers. Too many
flyers, forced down in the jungle borders of Burma. India and
China, have enjoyed the kindly hospitality of those terrifying
savages. —
And little Mr. Moto, the Japanese secret agent known to
all detective fiction addicts, has completely disappeared—just
another war casualty. Some internment camp swallowed him
up and it is very doubtful that he will ever regain any popularity here. —
It would seem that a great many such losses have been
sustained by the entertainment world. Certainly there will be
some gaps to fill; some changes to make.-Perhaps much of the
fiction of the future will find its locale in the world of the
future, a new world whose actual accomplishments will shade
those fictional stratospher-built cities of the past and put’ Superman to shame. Or possibly the plays, movies and books will
deal more realistically than ever before with plot and character.
It is plain, in any event, that fictionists for some time to
come will have to steer clear of many time-mellowed themes
that the audience now is very apt to know more about from
first-hand experience than the author.—Contributed.
THE 4-F’s AMONG US:
In the last war some misguided people, giddy in.the first
flush of patriotic fervor, pinned white feathers more or less
indiscriminately on young men not in uniform.
-. Thus were the young men publicly advised of their disfavor as ‘‘slackers’” Actually many of them had no more control over their military service than the feather donors themselves: It was a silly business and pretty quickly outgrown.
There are many among us today who for various perfectly legitimate reasons are not in uniform. The most logical
deterrent on earth to military duty is physical deficiency. Yet
the average man would rather duck 'the issue and let the neighbors think what they choose than to admit a spinal curvature,
kidney trouble or flat feet. And even if he would, he couldn't
go about with explanations-constantly on his lips.
Unfortunately, too, it isn't always perfectly satisfactory
to all onlookers for a 4-F to dedicate himself to a war job. If
he looks reasonably healthy he’s apt to be suspected of draft
dodging behind an “‘indispensable’”’ label. .
It would be a very kindly gesture indeed for Uncle Sam
MA,
able for duty—-an emblem a man could wear if He chose, to
protect himself from the unpleasant suspicions of those who
see a slacker behind every bush. There is scant hope, however,
that any such device will be provided. :; And since there are
numerous 4-F’s with us who don't look it,it-is best in .thé
meantime to withhold judgment unless the facts, are known.
It is better to miss castigating a draft dodger than ‘to risk grieving a disappointed youth who physically just couldn't make
the grade.—Contributed. .
.'. ‘THOSE FOUR FREEDOMS :
‘ In coming months you are going to hear much about the
four freedoms’ that the New Dealers tell us are fighting for
we are going to give to all nations of and which, presumably,
rge.
The’ “four freedoms” have their appeal to liberty-loving.
and idealistic Americans but some foreigners seem to be a bit
. skeptical about the prospect. A Chinese philosopher, Dr. Lin
Yutang,.is. not at all enthused, and perhaps his comments on
the subject should be given some consideration. For further
reference you might paste the following remarks by. Dr. Lin
your scrap book: — . ee o
"Two of the four freedoms are not freedoms at all. Freedom from fear. is not freedom, but political security. Freedom
from want is not’ freedom, but ‘economic security. Bothd albe athieved at the cost of human freedom, and probably wil

From Lonesome Home
Harriet, six year old, « youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Johnson, an Indian family that lives
in the Campoodie, ancient Indian
village on the western slope of Cement Hill, couldn’t understand why
her mother and oer sister had
suddenly vanished, when she returned from play at dusk Friday night.
She called in the empty cabin for
her mother and sister, but no answer. She rememberer a kind old
man who lived near the Gault bridge
in Nevada City, a mile and a half
away: He sometimes gave her candy.
She decided she needed a friend now.
Mrs. Johnson and the sister, returned a few mniutes after Harriet
had gone. They had driven some
stray cattle from the pine , thickets
about their home. They hunted for
the child for half hour. Looked into
irrigation ditch but she wasn’t there.
Finally Deputy Sheriff Carl Larsen
was called. Among other clues
Mrs. Johnson told of the old man who
usually gave the children candy.
Larsen took that clue and found the
child sound asleep in'an improvised
bed at the old man’s. home.
