A teacher sent this note
mother of an unruly pupil:
“Dear Mrs. Jones: I regret to in-
form you that your son, Robert, idles
away Iqis time, is disobedient, quar-
relsome and disturbs other students
who are trying to work. He needs a
good threshing and I strongly urge
that you give him one.”
This was the reply she received:
“Dear Miss Smith: Lick him your-
self. I ain’t mad at him.”

During a dust storm at one of the
army camps, a recruit sought shelter
in the cook’s tent. After a moment
he remarked to the cook: “If you put

110,000 pounds of steel.
Last year America used up 1,815
tons of hard steel in manufacture of
the tiny instruments used by mani-
curists—home or otherwise. The ma-
terial we are saving by eliminating
manufacture of these instruments
will produce weapons enough to
make even the most fastidious will-
ing to bite his nails for the duration.
American women can reconcile
themselves to sketchy hair-do’s with
the thought that there may be 160,000
more .50 caliber machine guns be-
cause we have stopped making hair-
pins and thus are making 16 million
more pounds of steel available for
war production.
The WPB steel conservation order
reached into the world of sport to
save about 12,500 tons of steel which
had been going every year into ice
skates and roller skates.
The 10,000 tons of steel
yearly went into the furniture
barber shops and beauty shops
enough to build more than 600 light
tanks.

A former nail polish plant employs

Authorities say that 15 per cent of
the work on new ship construction
can be done by women in extreme
emergency, the largest proportion of
jobs being as shiftfitters’ helpers,
sub-assembly welders, and painters.
Workers have been advised by
OPA to watch for specials in fresh
fruits and vegetables, and thus avoid
using any supply of canned goods
they may have on hand. The supply
of tinned products will steadily de-
crease, due to the need for tin in war
industries.
Hitler today is the greatest slave
master in history, cracking the whip
of terror over millions of foreign
workers dragged into the Reich eith-

promises, rarely kept.
Enough steel to build 44 Liberty

SHORTAGES

A
Kill Cheerfully,
Chaplain’s Advice
To U. S. Soldiers
A

Shortages of materials due to cur-
tailed exports from countries con-
trolled by our enemies, submarine
warfare, and increased demands for
Avar production are being felt more
and more in every household as the
months go by and we get deeper into
this world struggle.
The average American is willing to
make great sacrifices to win this war
if he can be certain that his sacrifices
are necessary and that they are ac-
complishing the promised results.
What most Americans do resent and
deplore is the feeling of uncertainty
about the whole program and the
doubt about the wisdom of some of
the national war planning.
It has been said that facts are the
•world’s scarcest raw material. Rights
now we are feeling keenly the short-
age on facts. We are told by one gov-
renment official one week that such
.a course is necessary and the follow-
ing week some other high authority
contradicts the former statement. We
^are called^ upon to economize to buy
bonds and we 'see exorbitant and un-
reasonable wages paid on war con-
tracts and outrageous fees charged
men by union officials for the right
to work.
Another great shortage is in com-
mon sense on the part of theorists
who announce impractical schemes
trom Washington which have to be
revised and re-revised at great cost
to business.
Americans are tough and they can
take it. But they want facts and they
•want more common sense and cour-
.-age in Washington.—Hubert M. Har-
rison.
Cash and Carry
A dusky lady went into a drug
store and asked for one cent’s worth
of insect powder.
“But that isn’t enough to wrap up,”
protested the clerk.
“Never mind ’bout wrappin’ it up!
•Jess blow it down my back, dassail.”
NEW YORK. — Major Abbe J.
Armand Sabourin, senior Catholic
chaplain of tl^e 7th Canadian Di-
vision, known as the Smiling Padre
■of the Dieppe raid, said Sunday that
American soldiers facing the enemy
.should be sustained by an attitude of
-cheerful sacrifice. Father Sabourin,
who was wounded in the Dieppe raid,
•declared:
“An American soldier should say to
himself, ‘I am doing this, I am going
To kill Germans to save my mother, to
save my father, to save my country.
I am not doing it for myself.”
This was the attitude, he said, of
the men in his regiment when they
were told, “This is it,” an hour before
the Dieppe raid.
“They shouted for joy when we
told them they were going into ac-
tion,” he said. “They were so jubi-
Jarit, so happy, so enthusiastic we had
difficulty keeping them quiet while
we talked to them.”
“The Dieppe raid was not a fail-
ure,” he said. “It was a great victory.
Because out of ten objectives we got
ei^ht. We can’t say now what they
•were but we can after the war. It
cost lives, I know, but it was worth
it.”

prohibition or the government would have
to make up the money some other way. And
there’s only one answer to that—more taxes.
You know what that would add up to?...
about $25 more taxes a year for every
man and woman in the country. In other
words you and Sue would have to pay
about $50 more in some form of tax. I
guess about the only ones who’d come out
ahead on that deal would be the bootleggers
and gangsters.”
