AT A TIME WHEN our country Is
passing through one of the most
trying periods of its history, the
stress seems to be on politics. A
certain element—the republicans—
haven't J to get back behind the steering
j wheel, is willing to sacrifice every-
thing accomplished by Roosevelt to
date whether it is good or bad. This
element has convinced our people
through their newspapers—and
many of our democrats—by point-
ing to their so-called pride—that
our president is leading them by
their noses. What difference would
this make, even If It was true, as
long as the goals attained by our
president are towards the better-
ment of our society and towards a
peace which will have some sem-
blance of eternity.

widow and two small children, his
widow will receive about $56 a
month until the children are II.
Then when she is #5 she will start
receiving about $24 a month sur-
vivor’s Insurance, which will con-
tinue all her life. On the other
hand, If a farmer or self-employed
man, having the same Income and
the same family, died, his family
would receive nothing. The reason
for this Is because his work Is ex-
cluded under the law. This explana.

About six years ago an eighty-

part of California. Nothing was
heard about him until Just re-
cently when one of Schuets’s
buddies, while on maneuvers,
happened upon his remains.
Sgt. Schueta and a number st
his buddies were left near the re-
mains antil a sheriff, coroner
and a number of army officials
arrived. In their investigation
they discovered an old pocket-
book with jM»o initials of ,the old

they are not expressing our opin-

duty, not only to ourselves but to
our boys In the service, to let them

THE FOUNDATION for a lasting

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“ That’# really a great editorial you just read
to us. Judge. Where did you say it appeared?”
*‘ln ’The Star* and Stripes’...the news-
paper of the U.S. Armed Forces in Europe.
Kind of gives us folks back home something
to think about, doesn't it. Bill?”
“It certainly does, Judge. Particularly the
last paragraph. Would you mind reading
that again?"
“Glad to, Bill. It says, * We can remember
the days of prohibition, when moonshine
whiskey made quick fortunes for bootleggers,
crooked politicians and dishonest police offi-
cials. As a result, we claim we know what we
want in the way of liquor legislation and feel
those at home should wait until we return before
initiating further legislation on liquor control. ”
“Out of fairness to our boys over there
fighting, Judge, how could we disobey such
a wish ?”
