WAR SHORTS
Submarii es do not ordinarily
carry chaplains, but a Navy chap-
lain traveling on u submarine on
his way to a new station was asked
by the crew to hold a service —
lu-neath the sea, "a thousand
miles from anywhere," the Navy
Department announced. "I have
never been or felt so close to my
listeners," the chaplain said. "And
I was certainly impressed by the
sincere desire of these men to car-
ry their worship of CJod with them
through the battles of this war, ev-
en under the sea."
America
Needs A Man
!>> GEORtiE PECK
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
America's Number One Ace of
Jforld War 1, and plane-wrecked,
rubber-raft refugee of World War
2, has drawn a blue-print of the
kind of a man this nation must put
into the White House come next
January 4th.
We had the pleasure the other
evening of hearing him enumerate
the fifteen qualifications which the
next President must have if this
nation is to win the war and what
is equally important, win the peace.
Captain Eddie has evolved an ex-
acting yardstick but both the Dem-
ocratic and Republican parties can
produce a presidential candidate
who measures up to it.
"I wish to make this plain—I
have no political fish to fry—and
only one 'Axis' to grind," he said
as a prelude to describing the Man
America Needs, whose fifteen spe-
cific qualifications he lists as fol-
lows:
1. A man who has convictions
with courage and character to put
them into action.
Kidneys Must

For You To Feel Well
tl houra every day. 7 day* every

waste matter bun the blood.
If more people were aware of how the
kidney must constantly remove sur-
plus fluid, excess scids snd other waste
matter that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of why the
whole system Is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina-
tion sometimes warns that something
to wrong. You msy suffer nagging bsck-
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
patois, getting up at njghu, swdling

2. A man who will not eater to
or coddle minorities or pressure
v, roups.
3. A man who will think in terms
of the welfare of the great Ameri-
can majority.
4. A man who will recommend
amending our labor laws to protect
the American laboring men ami
women from racketeers and false
leadership.
5. A man who will respect States'
rights.
f>. A man who will guarantee to
return all delegated wartime pow-
er to the elected representatives oí
the people when the war is over.
7. A man who will surround him-
self with America's ablest men and
women.
8. A man who will eliminate bu-
reaucracy to the minimum.
1 . A man who will reduce and
keep government expenses within
the earning power of the people to
pay.
10. A man who will think in
terms of America First, in order
that America will last, as Church
ill, Stalin and Chiang Kai Shek,
think of their own.
11. A man who will cooperate
with other peoples of the world to
insure a lasting peace, but not at
the expense of the American peo
pie alone.
12. A man who believes in free
i enterprise and our form of govern-
ment.
13. A man whom the American
people can believe after he is
elected as well as before.
14. A man who will go to the
American people with a promise of
legislation for their approval lim-
iting the presidential term to six
years, or two terms of four years
each—our traditional and CJod-
given heritage.
15. A man who will add the Fifth
Freedom to the Atlantic Charter—
the Freedom of Opportunity. With
a Fifth Freedom—we are then
placing a foundation under the four
.sides of the Atlantic Charter —
permitting it to endure and weath-
er the storms of the ages as have
the pyramids that were buiided
centuries ago.

l^ike. a German shepherd dog
f <n Boston, joined the Army 13
months ago. Teamed with an Army
sergeant, he served in New Guinea,
through the Cape Gloucester cam-
paign. and is now moving up this
jungle coast with U. S. Marines in
pursuit of retreating Japs, the Na-
vy Department said. Duke could
scent and "point" a Jap three-
quarters of a mile away, and has
flushed scores of Japs, has been
through more than 60 air raids,
can dive for a foxhole like any
Marine, and, the Sergeant says,
"he's the smartest dog I've ever
seen."
The average total earnings, in-
cluding war risk payments, on Li-
berty fÍMps for offshore voyages
were $244.50 per month for ordin-
ary seamen and $775 for masters,
exclusive of food and lodging, a
recent survey by the Maritime War
Emergency Board shows. Under a
ruling recently issued by the board,
the avarice will ** "lightly lower,
but the pay on voyages to actual
combat areas will be higher.
To enable a U. S. Army Air
Forces medium bomber pilot to
take off from a rainsoaked emerg-
ency landing field in China, the
villagers plodded across the mud-
dy terrain, some for a distance of
a mile, to bring their wooden doors
from their homes—the only boards
available fr a makeshift runway,
the War Department says.
American service men in tea-
drinking Britain are getting fresh,
tasty coffee every day, processed
by trained experts of the Quarter-
master Corps who blend and roast
it, the War Department says.
United States Army Air Forces
destroyed 9,463 enemy aircraft in
aerial combat and 1.579 more on
the ground in 1943, the War De-
partment reported. In the same
period, 2,809 USAAF planes were
destroyed in aerial combat and 76
on the ground.
In keeping with present policy,
enlisted WACS recently replaced
men as enlisted aides to the Secre-
tary of War. thus releasing three
additional qualified men for over-
seas duty, the War Department an-
nounced.
More than 53 per cent of syn-
thetic vitamins available in the
United 8%ites in 1944 will be allo-
cated to U. S. civilians, the War
Food Administration says, while 14
per cent will go to U. S. military
services and 33 per cent to our al-
lies. Because the U. S. service man
gets most of his vitamins from
natural foods, he does not require
great quantities of synthetic vita-
min supplements.

This is no time
to lose your memory!
In nearly all Americans there's a
streak of natural optimism.
We know the war won't be over tomor-
row. We know there may be a long hard
fight ahead.
But we can't help looking forward to
the beautiful and wonderful-seeming days
of Peace. ,
This is all right unless . . .
Unless it makes you relax your efforts
to win the war . . .
Unless it makes you lose your memory
of what happened after the last war was
won.
Don't lose that memory now. Don't for-
get the depression . .. the poverty that hit
the farmers . .. the breadlines in the critics
. . . the soldiers looking, looking, looking
for jobs, and not finding them.
Remember that Peace brought difficult
economic problems, economic stresses.
And this time, we must be ready to meet
them.
This time we must make sure of having
a real financial cushion ... to ease the
transfer to normal peacetime business,
peacetime employment, peacetime living.
That's one big reason why you should
buy War Bonds... and hold on to them.
Every War Bond you buy, every one
you hold to maturity will keep bringing
you $4 for every $3 you invest today.
And that steady flow of buying power
will make iobs. It will create markets for
peacetime goods. It will do a lot to insure
an America that's prosperous and sound
... the kind of America we all want when
this war is won.
So let's not forget the lesion of World
War I. Keep buying Bonds. Keep hanging
on to them. They're your security ... your
Country's security ... for the days of
Peace!
